NFL Week 9



Here are some high lights from week 9:

Jaguars 19, Bengals 21
With T.J. Houshmanzadeh promising to walk over 30 miles if the Bengals went undefeated, the Bengals finally got that first win. Chad Johnson Ocho Cinco had two touchdown catches versus the fading Jaguars, who many people picked to be a super bowl team this year. Any team that lets Ryan Fitzpatrick throw for 2 touchdowns is no contender.

Ravens 37, Browns 27
Where is Brady Quinn? The Browns, another popular Super Bowl pick, are in need of a spark. Derek Anderson threw for only 219 yards on 33 attempts. Joe Flacco, a rookie, threw for almost 50 more yards on 5 less attempts. With the talent on the Browns, they should be better. How much worse could Quinn do? I think its time to put him in.

Lions 23, Bears 27
The Lions remained the only winless team in the league by allowing the back up quarterback of the Bears to lead to the come from behind win. 

Packers 16, Titans 19
Could the Titans go undefeated? They have games at Chicago, Jacksonville and Colts, but they should be favored in all of those. And the Colts game is the last one of the season. They also have Pittsburgh at home, which could be a huge game. They won today by a field goal in overtime by Rob Bironas. Rookie Chris Johnson continued to impress, with 89 yards and a touchdown agaisnt a strong Packers defense. 

Cardinals 34, Rams 13
With all of the talent on the Cardinals, everyone knew it was a matter of time until they would the division. But no one thought it would be like this. With their win today, the Cardinals moved to 5-3, and every other team in the division is now 2-6. Kurt Warner lit the Rams up for 342 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Giants 35, Cowboys 14
Somebody save Dallas. After being hyped up to a boiling point earlier in the season, they have officially fallen from first to worst. With loses in 4 of their last 5 games agaisnt teams like the Rams, changes could be coming. And not changes like the awful trade for Roy Williams, who has made no impact. Tony Romo is due to come back after the bye week, but he will only help so much. Dallas was taken out back and beaten by the Giants today. Eli Manning threw for 3 touchdowns, and Brandon Jacobs rushed for 117 yards. Dallas could make a run when Romo comes back, but they now face an up hill battle with trips to Washington and Philly still to come.
