First off the Redskins and Donovan winning his homecoming to Philly. Not what I predicted but then I didnt expect the Skins to knock Vick out of the game in the first quarter. Vick is now suffering with a rib cartilage injury between his 2nd and 3rd rib. Several other players suffered injuries as well including LeSean McCoy who played through a broken rib and Asante Samuel and Riley Cooper who both suffered concussions. Kevin Kolb stepped in for Vick and was completely unimpressive. If Vick is unable to play next week against the 49ers, the Eagles will struggle to get the win.
Giants had a field day against the Bears sacking Cutler so many times that he finally sustained a concussion and couldnt play the second half. They then proceeded to sack Todd Collins till he too had to leave the game with a stinger. Bears without Cutler will struggle to maintain their 3-1 record. His status for this weekend is questionable but league policy may force him to sit for at least 1 game.
Patriots proved that they are still too much for Dolphins to handle by blowing them out on Monday night in a lopsided 41-14 win. Even without production from the likes of Randy Moss Brady managed to throw all over the Dolphins defense.
This past weekend should've been called the "Upset Special". Browns beating the Bengals couldnt have been predicted (at least not by me) but shouldnt have come as a complete shock since they are division rivals. Same with the Ravens beating the Steelers since both come with solid defenses. Jags beating the Colts on a less second 59 yd field goal shows that Colts still have a problem beating the Jags in Jacksonville. Redskins beating the Eagles you have to consider that Vick was knocked out the game so that was a considerable factor on that outcome. Same with the Giants knocking out Bears QB Jay Cutler in that final score. The biggest division upset and definitely the upset of the weekend was the Rams over the Seahawks. Rams are now 2-2 and in a 3 way tie for the NFC West division lead. This doubles their wins from last season already so they may have a legitimate shot to at least finish 4-12 this season. I wish them luck.
Back next week with a new addition of rewind!
