It’s been a pretty boring day in the NFL thus far — the closest, most exciting game has been the St. Louis/Seattle game and, well, who really cares about St. Louis or Seattle? Here’s the scores around the league, though, with all the 1:00 games finished.
-Seahawks 24, Rams 19: Gus Frerotte had the chance to win the game on the 1 yard line with 0:24 seconds left, but mishanlded the snap, was sacked and, poof, the game’s over. Stephen Jackson had 23 carries for 93 yards for the Rams, leading all rushers in the game.
-Saints 31, Panthers 6: There’s not many teams out there who have had a rougher year than the Carolina Panthers. Vinny Testaverde was unable to start for Carolina due to back troubles, which put the game in David Carr’s hands, who went 10/22 for 95 yards and two interceptions. Matt Moore came in to relieve him, but wasn’t much better, and threw an interception of his own. Drew Brees had 3 touchdowns for the Saints, who still have a shot at winning the laughable NFC South.
-Vikings 41, Giants 17: After starting the season hot, this is starting to look pretty familiar to last year’s debacle by the Giants. They beat up on a bunch of patsies, lost a couple of weeks ago, and got absolutely manhandled today by Minnesota. Eli Manning had 1 touchdown and 4 interceptions.
-Raiders 20, Chiefs 17: Justin Fargas ran for 120 yards and a touchdown, and Donte Culpepper controlled the ball well enough to hold onto the win for the Raiders.
-Bills 14, Jags 36: Jacksonville’s one of those teams that doesn’t have a lot of flash, but somehow manages to win. Maurie Jones-Drew had only 10 yards on 10 carries, but Fred Taylor picked up the slack with a buck-oh-four on 14 attempts. JP Losman threw for 211 yards with 1 touchdown, but also threw 2 costly interceptions.
-Texans 17, Browns 27: Romeo Crenell, barring a second-half collapse, is probably going to win Coach of the Year honors this year. Since their 17 point loss to New England — which looks pretty good these days — the Browns have rattled off 5 wins in their last 6 games; their only loss came at Pittsburgh by 3 points in the waning moments.
-Titans 6, Bengals 35: When Vince Young was statistically terrible, people said, “Well, all he does is win games.” Now that he’s not winning those games, can we start talking about possibly bringing in a new quarterback? Kerry Collins, anyone? Sure, he’s a racist and a drunk, but he’s been more accurate than VY, who threw another interception in this blowout.
-Redskins 13, Bucs 19: Jeff Garcia got injured, the Redskins had over 300 yards in the second half to the Bucs 16 yards, and they still managed to lose. Jason Campbell looked good, but he threw two picks late in the game, the last sealing it for the Bucs, who, as a 7-win member of the NFC South, has pretty much wrapped up that division.
