Dallas Cowboys 13 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 9

The Cowboys somehow managed to win the dullest game of the weekend. Very little offense for both sides, one turnover, and a penalty-filled afternoon ended in a surprise and exhausting Dallas victory


Washington Redskins 25 – Detroit Lions 17

The Lions surprised everybody by putting up a fight according to the score, but, in all reality, the Redskins controlled the game. They won the time of possession battle (35:45 to 24:150 and they won the total yards battle (439 to 274). Jason Campbell and Clinton Portis shined in this contest and once again brought a victory home of the Redskins.

Miami Dolphins 25 – Buffalo Bills 16

Fresh off a contract extension, Bills Head Coach Dick Jauron came away with a loss to the confounding Dolphins. Trent Edwards looked like he was feeling the delayed after effects from the concussion and Chad Pennington looked like the white knight. Miami scored the final 18 points to pull off the upset victory.

New England Patriots 23 – St. Louis Rams 16

The Patriots won another gimmee to inflate their record. Bulger showed some life of the Rams in the pocket, but a huge game from Patriots kicker Stephen Gostowski and a alopy performance by the St. Louis (nine penalties for 63 yards) ended their hopes of a second consecutive shocking victory.

New Orleans Saints 37 – San Diego Chargers 32

The Saints and Chargers brought American football to London in the hopeless attempt to establish the sport in Europe. It is too bad the NFL needlessly exported a high-octane game to Wembley Stadium. Drew Brees and Philip Rivers matched each other’s performance and LaDainian Tomlinson had 170 total yards in this exciting contest.

New York Jets 28 – Kansas City Chiefs 24

Brett Favre delivered the victory, but hardly looked like less of a chump to Jets fans after throwing three picks. The Chiefs were very much so in this game when they should never have been given a chance. Tyler Thigpen was the dominant number four (minus the victory) in the battle of quarterbacks. Why the Jets threw so much and avoided the run against the awful Chiefs front seven is beyond everybody’s comprehension.

 Philadelphia Eagles 27 – Atlanta Falcons 14

The Eagles kicked off the euphoric day for Philadelphia with a 27-14 win over the dangerous Falcons. They contained Michael Turner and made Matt Ryan try and beat them. Meanwhile McNabb had a so-so day (19/34 for 253 yards) and Brian Westbrook had over 200 yards of total offense (167 rushing and 42 passing) and two touchdowns. The win kept the Eagles in the NFC East contention.

Carolina Panthers 27 – Arizona Cardinals 23

The Cardinals proved that their passing offense is among the leagues best, but still could not come away with a win against the NFC South leading Panthers. Kurt Warner enjoyed having Anquan Boldin back, getting the ball to him twice in the end zone and Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston rounded out the deadly performance by the dangerous trio of receivers. The Panthers were able to play great run defense and let the Cardinals shoot themselves in the foot while putting on a offensive performance with a balanced attack for the win.

Baltimore Ravens 29 – Oakland Raiders 10

The Ravens ran unimpeded over the Raiders, gaining 192 yards on the ground, in this victory. The game was complete with a trick play that had backup quarterback Troy Smith find starting quarterback Joe Flacco with a 43 yard touchdown pass.

Houston Texans 35 – Cincinnati Bengals 6

The Texans beat the NFL Europe team known as the Bengals in a game that once again solidified Matt Schaub’s place as the starting quarterback. Schaub threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns, completing 24 of 28 passes. The entire Bengals offense seemed to come through Ryan Fitzpatrick who threw for 155 yards (but two picks) and nearly led the team in rushing with 42 yards.

Cleveland Browns 23 – Jacksonville Jaguars 17

The Browns won this past Sunday with big receptions and lots of luck. The Jaguars bobbled key passes and kick off returns to give the Browns every chance to walk away with a win. David Garrard did all he could, but his 283 yards passing, two touchdown passes, and 59 rushing yards were to avail.

New York Giants 21 – Pittsburgh Steelers 14

The Giants and the Steelers gave a throwback performance in a game with Pittsburgh in retro uniforms. The defenses dominated. The Giants picked off Roethlisberger four times and the Steelers managed to hold the Giants to 282 yards despite New York having the ball for nearly 35 minutes. This game came down to the final minutes of the fourth quarter when Eli Manning found Kevin Boss in the end zone with 3:07 on the clock for the final score of the game.

Seattle Seahawks 34 – San Francisco 49ers 13

Mike Singletary’s debut as the 49ers head coach did little to change the team’s performance. The 49ers made Seneca Wallace look like a starting NFL quarterback and gave the game away with two turnovers and seven penalties for 65 yards.
