Brandon Jacobs' two early TDs helped the Giants beat the Ravens 30-10.

Another great weekend of sports. Not too many fireworks in college football, but the NFL Sunday was very interesting. Here are some of the key NFL topics we'll almost certainly tackle this week:
1. Is there any doubt the Giants are the team to beat in the NFL? They totally dismantled the Ravens. Can you imagine trying to tackle Brandon Jacobs.
2. Did you see the Broncos started rookie Spencer Larsen at middle linebacker and fullback? He must be the new Chuck Bednarik. The Broncos have a ridiculous amount of injuries, but they still managed to beat the Falcons 24-20.
3. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers tore apart the Bears defense in a 37-3 rout. Green Bay, Chicago and Minnesota are all tied for the lead in the NFC North at 5-5. But you have to consider the Packers the favorite there, don't you?
4. Detroit fell to 0-10. Can the Lions win a game this year? Here's the rest of their schedule: Tampa Bay, Tennessee, Minnesota, at Indianapolis, New Orleans and at Green Bay.
5. The Eagles and Bengals tied at 13-13 in one of the uglier games in recent memory. Donovan McNabb completed 28 of 58 passes for 339 yards and threw three interceptions. The Bengals dropped a couple of picks as well. Not a good day for Philly. Did anyone see Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid's postgame comments on how they didn't understand the concept of a tie?
6. The Colts edged the Texans 33-27. They're back in the playoff race, but are they a bona fide Super Bowl contender. They don't look like it yet.
7. How bad are the Rams?
8. Do the Steelers every play an easy game. Every contest is a knock-'em-down slug-'em-out affair that comes down to the wire? They beat the Chargers 11-10 in the muck at Heinz Field on Sunday.
9. Now that Kerry Collins can throw, maybe the Titans can go 16-0.
10. The Cardinals are going to the playoffs. The Cardinals are going to the playoffs. At least barring a miracle. Arizona improved to 7-3, while the 49ers are in second place at 3-7. |
