Extra, Extra, Read all about it... 2008- The year the NFL passed on the torch. With three weeks complete in the NFL season nobody is talking about Tom Brady (injured), Peyton Manning (winless at home), or Brett Favre (washed-up). The new crop of young QB's has finally come to harvest. Philip Rivers (#1 passer rating), Eli Manning (3-0), Tony Romo (3-0), Aaron Rodgers (Brett who?), and Jay Cutler (3-0) lead a new crop of young NFL players taking this league to another level.
To the game of the week... Jacksonville at Indi. Peyton Manning looked better, but still showed signs of rust and Josh Scobee Dooby Doo hit two late field goals to help the Jags pass the Colts 23-21. The Colts may be homesick, they are winless at their brand new Lucas Oil Stadium (including preseason). RCA dome where have you gone??? With injuries clearly still plauging the Colts defense, Maurice-Jones Drew and Fred Taylor lit up the Colts defense as both rushed over 100 yards and MJD tallied a TD. The Colts get a much needed bye next week while the Jags return home to play the Texans.
Elsewhere-- The Super Bowl Champion GGGGGG- Men (sitll pains me to say that) took Overtime to beat the Lowly Bengals and remain undefeated. Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson should worry less about his name and more about not dropping passes. A dropped catch near the goal line in the 4th quarter made the Bengals kick for 3 and the tie 23-23 instead of going up 4 on the New York Football Giants. That kick forced overtime, where the Giants won with a 22 yard pooch of the boot of John "Circus Folk" Carney.
Undefeated teams through week 3-
NFC- Dallas, G-Men
AFC- Buffalo (not a typo), Baltimore, Teneessee, Denver
