NFL Brief- Week 1

Well the first week of the NFL season couldn't have been much better... especially if you are a fan of any other team other than the Patriots. Crushing news to a team that won 18 games and lost one big one as their leader, Tom Brady, suffered a season ending knee injury. Career backup Matt Cassel, who has been a backup ever since leaving high school stepped in and helped the defending AFC champions to a 17-10 victory over the Cheifs.

Brett who?-- while the Jets welcomed Brett Favre en route to a one touchdown victory over the Dolphins, Aaron Rodgers started his tenure as the Packer's QB with a primetime performance. A very economical 18-22 passing , 2 TD's and one Lambaeu Leap helped the Pack beat the division rival Vikings in our first monday nighter of the season. Green Bay faithful can start buying #12 jerseys with some confidence now. The second MNF football game proved to be Royal coming out party, Eddie Royal. The rookie from VA tech hooked up with Jay "chicken" Cutler for 146 yds and a TD as the Broncos decorated the Rrrrraiders 41-14.
