Power rankings and full analysis to come after the two night games are played. A lot will take place between now and then. but anyways:
-Philadelphia breaks open a lead in the most overrated division. Not secure just yet, but Philly is making last year sound like it was truly an aberration. Eagles front office heads second smartest in NFL
-New England (smartest front office in sports) breaks open equally impressive lead in their division, which fell on its collective face otherwise Sunday. Jets and Bills lose 81-7, and Joey Harrington (I know. What?) is playing quarterback in Miami. Not doing so bad a job, but what happened to Daunte?
- Matt Leinart earned himself days worth of sports talk speculation with his near comeback and overall impressive play. He had a deeper pool of skill players and a better offensive line at USC, but he'll get used to playing with the Cardinals.
- Antrel Rolle scared a lot of people with his wicked facemask on Larry Johnson. I watched along with many others as one of the brightest young talents in the leaguer lay motionless on the field for minutes. I cursed fantasy players who may have been mad for selfish reasons, noting that this was a reminder of how serious the game can be. If any of you felt that way, shame on you. Watch the game, not the ticker at the bottom. Be a real man.
-The Vikings played down to the Lions level and barely came back to beat them. Chicago makes this division look like I-AA ball.
-My beloved Niners recorded a win over the worst team in football, Oakland. We got our first interception of the season. Then the second. The third. The fourth, to end the game. Alex Smith didn't play too badly, either. We could easily win six, seven games this year. More if Seattle continues to suck.
- Reggie Bush won his first game! The go-ahead return of 65 yards was his first big play, and it no doubt meant quite a lot for a team that is trying to keep their dream bubble beginning of the season from bursting.
-I can't think of a scary enough term to describe Chicago's defense. Shame they don't play Philly in the regular season, that would be a good old-fashioned rugby match.
