It was rather ugly, but we'll take it. A 23-17 victory for the Texans gives us one more win than what we mustered all of last season. The real momentum shifter was an outstanding pick-six by J.J. Watt. He got a real jump and couldn't be stopped as he just yanked the ball out of the air and to the house. I actually thought Buffalo was the better team in this game, but the Texans didn't really wake up until the 2nd Half. Texans still won, but we had to work to earn this one.
Elsewhere...
* The folks in London got to see a different kind of football. The Miami Dolphins won 38-14 over the Oakland Raiders. So the Raiders can't win in the United States OR in England. Sad.
* Tennessee gets smacked hard at Indianapolis. It's fine with me. Can't be TOO happy because we play them on Thursday night here in Houston later this season. Anyhow, the Colts get themselves a 41-17.
* It was 24-17 as the Detroit Lions went into Metlife Stadium and took down the New York Jets.
* 38-17 was the damage Green Bay dealt to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. Chi-Town none too pleased with this whacking.
How did your boys do today? Congratulations to all other winners on Sunday, including the eventual winners of the afternoon games and tonight's game between New Orleans at Dallas.

I'm not sure which is the bigger story- the fact that the Cowboys dominated the game, or the fact that the Saints looked utterly terrible for the majority of the game.

Patriots at Chiefs TONIGHT!
Good old Arrowhead Pond will be where the NFL action will be this Monday Night. Kansas City [, Missouri] has already been jacked considering Major League Baseball's Kansas City Royals made the playoffs for the first time since the World Series-winning Royals of 1985. Tonight, however, it's all about the NFL team. Ready to invade Arrowhead Pond are some boys from the Boston area. The 2-1 Patriots will look to leave Kansas City with a win against the 1-2 Chiefs. Considering Kansas City has so many fountains, maybe the Chiefs will need to throw some coins into some of those fountains for good luck. Anyhow, who'll win this one?
The line favors NE by 2.5 tonight.

I went to Wembley last night to see the Dolphins wreck the Raiders.
Now I knew the Raiders were bad. But not that bad. They need a #1 draft pick again, and soon. And they need to use it on someone other than the fastest at the combine or JaMarcus Russell.
Or maybe, as a Broncos fan, they can stay the whipping boys for the division.
I've watched 2 Dolphins games this year, one on the telly and one live - they won both. Should I watch more Dolphins games? That way they might actually beat the Patriots to the division.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that Dennis Allen will probably be looking for another job at the end of the season- if not sooner.

Fins were awesome last night at Wembley, just destroyed the Raiders (not surprising but still)
Niners finally getting a second half TD was good too. though it was close against the Eagles.

And to think that I said I wouldn't watch this game because the Pats would own the Chiefs. Boy do I look like a massive idiot for saying that after the first half of the game.

Boom. Guess who just got fired?

After week 4, is a fair assumption to say that the AFC East and NFC South are arguably the worst divisions in the NFL at present?

Just fire everybody! That'll work. Nothing like a good old fire sale when a team is failing.
It's early, but here are the standings so far for all 32 teams. This would be a glimpse of what the playoff picture could look like if the playoffs started today:
--- AFC ---
EAST: Buffalo, Miami, and New England (2-2 each), NYJ (1-3)
NORTH: Cincinnati (3-0), BAL (3-1), PIT (2-2), CLE (1-2)
SOUTH: Houston (3-1), IND (2-2), TEN (1-3), JAX (0-4)
WEST: San Diego (3-1), DEN (2-1), KC (2-2), OAK (0-4)
--- NFC ---
EAST: Philadelphia and Dallas (3-1 each), NYG (2-2), WSH (1-3)
NORTH: Detroit (3-1), GB, MIN, and CHI (2-2 each)
SOUTH: Atlanta and Carolina (2-2), NO and TB (1-3 each)
WEST: Arizona (3-0), SEA (2-1), SF (2-2), STL (1-2)
So currently, Cincinnati and Arizona are the only two teams currently unbeaten. CIN and ARI do not have each other on the schedule, so it's possible both teams COULD run the table without these two playing each other in the regular season. Only way they WOULD meet is if Bengals and Cardinals ends up being this season's Super Bowl.
The only winless teams currently are both in the AFC- Oakland and Jacksonville. My Texans already handed Oakland back in Week 2, and since Jacksonville is a division opponent, we will have to deal with JAX twice. Oakland is off this week after getting plastered by Omnis' Miami Dolphins in London. Wait... London Dolphins? I kind of forgot what NFL Europe team London had. Or if there ever was an NFL Europe team in London. Anyhow, OAK and JAX are hoping neither has to settle for getting a First Round draft pick.
Those the standings for you. Are there any teams, players, or anything else that has surprised you so far this season? What about players and teams that are underrated?

Every team in the afc east is having some major issues. It's going to end in a huge crap-shoot likely.

The first week of October football begins with two teams with a 2-2 record. Tonight, it's the Minnesota Vikings playing at the Frozen Tundra of the Green Bay Packers. Got to wonder who'll win this one.
Green Bay is favored by 8 tonight according to one line report. Good luck to both MIN and GB.

Battle of the NFC North. I want to see The Vikings win, but sadly, I think Green Bay will win this one.

Ponder seems more focused on helping the Packers win rather than help the Vikings win. All he's done in this game is demonstrate poor game management and throw interceptions.

I really wonder how the Bengals vs. Patriots game will turn out. That might be a good match up even though NE is kind of struggling so far this year.

You never know- Phillip Rivers might feel bad and go back to his old interception throwing ways. But the loss will really depend on how bad the defense plays since a bad offense is a given.
