Unbelievable action in the 1pm games. Two go into overtime, 2 more games ending in the last minute of regulation, and another disappointing performance from the Minnesota Vikings.
Some instant analysis:
- Chris Weinke comes off the bench to lead the Panthers to a game-winning TD score. First time since 2002 that Weinke has seen action in a game, and he played very well. Obvious chemistry with Ricky Proehl, which makes sense, as they're both 47 years old.
- The Saints got robbed of a chance to win it in overtime. Peterson misses a FG attempt, only to get a shot at redemption due to a ticky-tack penalty. They are the 'Aints.
- Memo to John Fox: On the road, always take the points.
- Player of the Day (thus far): Jared Allen, DE for the Kansas City Chiefs. 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles, Allen made life difficult for Mark Brunell.
- The Jaguars overtime win over Pittsburgh? Not that shocking. If Ward and Roethlisberger play, the Steelers win easily. With Tommy Maddox in there, the Steelers still nearly won that game. Jags should feel good, though. This is one they can build off.
- Yes, I am a jackass for changing my Bucs-Dolphins pick. Gus Frerotte on the road, Mac. Gus Frerotte on the road.
I'll be back later...
