I hope that next week the blog, and the NFL recap, will be back to normal.
- Tom Brady earned his 100th career victory as the Patriots pounded the Dolphins, 41-14. Randy Moss was held without a catch for the first time in over three years. It was New England's Patrick Chung who was the star of the night. He blocked two kicks and had a 51-yard interception return for a touchdown. The Patriots had three touchdowns on defense/special teams. New England is now tied with the New York Jets for first-place in the AFC East.
- The Falcons won on a second straight game on a game-winning field goal by kicker Matt Bryant. The 49ers jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Falcons scored 16 unanswered points, including three field goals by Bryant, to win 16-14.
- For the first time in two years, LaDainian Tomlinson rushed for at least 100 yards. Tomlinson rushed 19 times for 133 yards and two touchdowns. Shonn Greene added another 117 yards on the ground. Jets' QB Mark Sanchez threw for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns, good for a 106.4 QB rating, leading the Jets to a 38-14 victory over the winless Buffalo Bills.. Sanchez still hasn't thrown an interception this season. And next week the Jets will only get better; WR Santonio Holmes, CB Darrelle Revis, and LB Calvin Pace are set to return next week against the Vikings.
- The Bengals lost to the Browns. No comment.
- Joe Flacco is growing up. With the Ravens down 4 to the Steelers, Flacco hit T.J. Houshmandzadeh with an 18-yard pass for a touchdown, leaving only 30 seconds on the clock. The Ravens, led by Flacco, won a hard fought game against the previously undefeated Steelers. The Ravens now have wins on the road against the Jets and Steelers. Baltimore won at home against Cleveland. The Ravens' only loss came on the road against defending AFC North Champion Cincinnati.
- Jay Cutler is lucky to be alive. Cutler was sacked nine times in the first half against the New York Giants. The Giants' pass rushers made it through the Bears' offensive line with ease, and Cutler couldn't get rid of the ball fast enough. The last of the sacks caused a concussion, forcing Cutler to sit the rest of the game. The Giants went on to win, 17-3.
- The Jaguars had an answer for a late-game touchdown drive by Peyton Manning. The teams were never separated by more than 7 points, as the teams went back and forth from the opening kickoff. The Jaguars went up by 7 on a Maurice Jones-Drew touchdown with a little over two minutes left. As he's done many times before, Peyton Manning led the Colts down the field in less than 80 seconds, finishing the drive with a touchdown pass to Austin Collie. So the game is over, right? Not this time. David Garrard got the Jaguars into field goal range...well, at least close enough for kicker Josh Scobee. Scobee kicked a 59-yard field goal as time expired to give the Jaguars the win, 31-28.
