Indianapolis Colts 31 – Baltimore Ravens 3

Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison woke up from a four game slump to light up a very good Ravens defense. The Colts defense woke up as well, stopping the run and pressuring rookie Joe Flacco into throwing three picks.

Minnesota Vikings 12 – Detroit Lions 10

A game that was supposed to feature an offensive by the Vikings was more about Minnesota’s defense than the Adrian Peterson and the offense. The ineptitude of the Vikes led to a raucous crowd to begin chanting “Fire Childress.”

New Orleans Saints 34 – Oakland Raiders 3

Drew Brees continues to burn teams despite having a less than stellar (and healthy) receiving core to throw to. The Raiders were easy prey as they tried to soldier through another disappointing season.

New York Jets 26 – Cincinnati 14

The Jets looked like they were playing with a hang over, but they still controlled the game leaving the Bengals winless after six painful weeks. Thomas Jones had a career day, scoring three times in a game for the first time.

Atlanta Falcons 22 – Chicago Bears 20

After three slow quarters the game came alive in the fourth quarter with each team making impressive drives toward the end, but the Falcons had the ball last and let Jason Elam make up for an earlier miss in the fourth with a 48 yarder.

Tampa Bay Bucs 27 – Carolina Panthers 3

Jeff Garcia made a strong statement to win the starting job back with a sold 15 of 20, 173 yards, 1 touchdown performance. The win ties them for the division lead with the Panthers.

St. Louis Rams 19 – Washington Redskins 17

The Redskins lose after four impressive consecutive wins that announced their arrival as a contender. The Rams give interim Head Coach Jim Haslett a victory in his first game that also ended St. Louis’s eight-game losing streak.

Houston Texans 29 – Miami Dolphins 28

The Texans and Dolphins tripped over themselves in an entertaining game that saw plenty of picks and fumbles. The game looked more like a neighborhood football game than an NFL affair.

Jacksonville Jaguars 24 – Denver Broncos 17

The Jaguars won a game with another strong running game, this time by Maurice Jones-Drew. The Broncos vaunted passing game only produced 192 yards and as Jay Cutler only completed 21 of 37 passes.

Philadelphia Eagles 40 – San Francisco 49ers 26

The shootout of the weekend took place in San Fran this week as neither team played very good defense. The 49ers actually won the battle of the clock, but with three turnovers to the Eagles one, the game was out of their control.

Green Bay Packers 27 – Seattle Seahawks 17

The Hasselbeck-less Seahawks sputtered on offense, only gaining 177 yards. Aaron Rodgers looked in control as the running game again was a disappointment. The Packers remain the in the middle of a muddled NFC North that could see anybody but the Lions advance.

Arizona Cardinals 30 – Dallas Cowboys 24 (OT)

The Arizona Cardinals are apparently for real. After years of being the Washington Generals to the Cowboys’ Harlem Globetrotters, the Cardinals won in overtime off a blocked punt return.

San Diego Chargers 30 – New England Patriots 10

The Chargers reasserted themselves after a shocking loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 5. Philip Rivers averages 11.3 yards a throw on route to his three touchdown night. The Patriots struggled against the first real opponents since Week 2.
