Let’s take a look at some things that occurred in the NFL yesterday. The Detroit Lions broke their 19-game winless streak with a 19-13 win over the Washington Redskins, accompanied by rookie Matthew Stafford’s first solid performance at quarterback. It must be nice for the Lions to get that monkey off their back; the team can just move forward and play football. Brett Favre showed that he’s not out of miracles when he heaved a game-winning 40-yard touchdown pass to Greg Lewis in the waning seconds of their matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners, though, were that one play away from beating the Vikings without the services of Frank Gore, who was injured on his first carry of the day.
Peyton Manning looks to be firing on all cylinders as he tossed four touchdown passes in the desert last night to down the Cardinals. Manning looks the way of Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark quite a bit, as expected, but he seems to be developing a good rapport with Pierre Garcon as well. The Patriots righted the ship by taking down the Falcons and the Ravens dominated the Browns. Tonight, the Dallas Cowboys face the Carolina Panthers. It looks like Dallas running back Marion Barber won’t play, so keep an eye on the speedy Felix Jones in that game.
