NFL Week 1

New England 17, Kansas City 10: Tom Brady gets injured, and the world comes to an end. Matt Cassel threw for 152 yards, and Randy Moss is still beastly (6 rec, 116 yards, 1 TD).

Atlanta 34, Detroit 21:
I think my high school team played better than the Lions this week. Holy smokes. Missed tackles everywhere, no running game at all, and Jon Kitna blowing up on the sidelines. It's going to be a long season.

Buffalo 34, Seattle 10:
Fortunately for Seattle, they play in the NFC West, where every team got thoroughly destroyed yesterday, so they still will win the division.

New York Jets 20, Miami 14:
This game was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Brett Favre may or may not (depending on how you look at it) have outplayed Chad Pennington, whose arm is really made of noodles.

New Orleans 24, Tampa Bay 20:
A Scott Fujita interception ended hopes for a Tampa Bay comeback, but the story of the game was Drew Brees: 343 passing yards and three touchdowns.

Philadelphia 38, St. Louis 3:
Okay, so maybe I underrated this Philly team a little. Donovan McNabb was spectacular (21-for-33, 361 yards, 3 TDs), and even without their top two wideouts (Brown and Curtis), three Eagles receivers managed 100 yards.

Tennessee 17, Jacksonville 10:
The Titans defense was awesome, sacking David Gerrard seven times, recovering a fumble, and picked him off twice in the Titans win. The Jags rushing attack was held to only 33 yards.

Baltimore 17, Cincinnati 10: I'm stoked. My favorite teams comes out with win #1 of the six they will win this year. And I'm being optimistic about that.

Carolina 26, San Diego 24:
The shocker of the day, Jake Delhomme's last second touchdown pass to Dante Rosario gave the Panthers the lead and the win.

Arizona 23, San Francisco 13:
Not a good start to his career as a 49er for J.T. O'Sullivan - two fumbles and an INT in the loss to the Kurt Warner-led Cardinals.

Dallas 28, Cleveland 10:
Terrell Owens tied Cris Carter for second most touchdown receptions of all-time with a TD catch today. Tony Romo threw for 320 yards in the win.

Chicago 29, Indianapolis 13:
The Colts did not look very good, their defense let rookie Matt Fortre run all over them for 123 yards, and the Colts allowed their first safety since 2000.
