Rams 20, Chargers 17 San Diego’s first road loss was just a fluke. The rain was coming down, Arrowhead was loud, and the Chiefs hit three big plays. OK… San Diego’s second road loss happened because of two kickoff returns for Seattle. That can’t possibly happen again, so let’s write that off. All right… San…

Ravens 30, Broncos 7 With Baltimore’s poor secondary play, all the talk this past week was how rookie corner Laradarius Webb was going to get more defensive looks. Webb didn’t contribute on defense, but he essentially won the game for the Ravens. Coming out of halftime, Baltimore held a slim 6-0 lead. Webb made it…

Ravens 34, Browns 3 The Ravens did a great job scheduling the Browns for their homecoming game. The 34-3 score doesn’t really tell you how much Baltimore dominated. The team outgained Cleveland 479 to 186, and beat the Browns on first downs, 28-11. Of course, it didn’t help that the Browns gave the Ravens four…

Jets 24, Bengals 14 I’m disgusted, so let’s try something different. Here are eight goats in this game for each of the eight units that I lost: 8. Steve Weatherford: The punter for the Jets couldn’t play because he was apparently “too ill.” What does that mean? You’re too ill to punt? Just go back…

Colts 30, Jets 17 It’s really amazing how different the first 28 minutes of this game were compared to the final 32 minutes. The Jets led 17-6. They were hitting big plays against a sloppy Colts defense, and Peyton Manning was dancing around in the pocket as if he were battling the Chargers. New York…

Cardinals 32, Eagles 25 I don’t even know how to begin describing this game. There were so many momentum shifts, great plays and horrific calls by an inept officiating crew. Let’s begin with a post-game quote by Adrian Wilson, who has been with the Cardinals for his entire 8-year career. “Amazing…” said a speechless, tearful…

Steelers 13, Titans 10 It’s starting early this year, isn’t it? Four units down the drain because Hines Ward decided to fumble at Tennessee’s 4-yard line. If Ward didn’t score on that play, Pittsburgh, in all likelihood, would have gotten a touchdown and covered the 6-point spread. Instead, the Steelers won in overtime by a…

Falcons 28, Panthers 20 People are going to look the box score and see that Jake Delhomme went 25-of-41 for 308 yards, one touchdown and a pick. They’ll say, “Oh, I guess Delhomme isn’t a total disaster. Maybe he got his son back.” That’s not the case. Well, maybe his son is back, but Delhomme…

Browns 13, Steelers 6 If you were to tell me that one team would have major pass protection issues (allowing sacks to a three-man rush), convert just 3-of-14 third downs, run stupid plays, battle with no desperation and surrender 171 rushing yards, I would have taken out a second mortgage and bet on the Steelers….

Colts 30, Titans 28 I’m still trying to figure out how the Titans covered this game. They were down 21-0, and were trailing by nine in the final minutes. Instead of opting for a field goal, they settled for a clock-consuming touchdown at the end of regulation. Kerry Collins hit Bo Scaife for a meaningless…
