Most impressed with: The Packers showed remarkable resiliency in their 31-24 win over San Diego. They could have folded several times in the fourth quarter, including after being thwarted on the goal line with less than six minutes to play. However, the defense came up with a huge turnover and Brett Favre (congrats on 420) comes up clutch yet again.
Least impressed with: Some test for the previously 2-0 Lions in Philly, huh? I think Kevin Curtis (11 rec. 211 yards, 3 TDs) just scored again.
Wake up call goes to: I know he’s an extreme competitor, but LT screaming at Philip Rivers on the sidelines today was uncalled for. Stop being a leader only when your team wins.
Play of the day: It’s a toss up between Joseph Addai’s leaping, helicopter-spin TD run in the Colts 30-24 victory over Houston and Chris Baker’s TD snag and feet-drag in the back of the end zone in the Jets 31-28 win over Miami.
Bandwagon team of the week: Tampa….Don’t get hurt jumping off: San Fran.
Many applauds to: Donovan McNabb (21 of 26, 381 yards, 4 TDs) should spark controversy every week…Nobody blinked an eye when Allen Rossum was acquired right before the start of the season, but what a lift he’s given the Steelers return game…How about Lane Kiffin beating the Browns by pulling the same TO-right-before-the-FG stunt Mike Shanahan burned him on last week?…The Jaguars played their most complete game of the season at Mile High…DeShaun Foster (122 carries, 2 total TDs) owns the Falcons…The NFL should have put its foot down when the Patriots acquired Randy Moss, because giving a weapon like that to Tom Brady and Bill Belicheat just wasn’t fair to the rest of the league…Tony Romo looks like a 10-year vet…
Cheap shots: Still no word on where the hell Lee Evans is …Somebody tell Marc Bulger (3 INTs) what color uniforms his team wears – he’s obviously confused…How Denver has a winning record at this point is beyond me…DeAngelo Hall did a hell of a job on Steve Smith (1 rec. 10 yards), but his immaturity might have cost the Falcons a win…
