Sunday's Hangover

A postscript on Sunday's action:

I'm pretty sure New England was unhappy about being written off. The Patriots plastered Cincinnati 38-13, and Laurence Maroney had his coming-out party, scoring two touchdowns and generally manhandling any Bengal that attempted to stop him.

There's still some air left in Mr. McNair. The Ravens' embattled (even at 4-0) quarterback led his team to a comeback win over San Diego to keep the Ravens unbeaten and prove that he's still the same guy that could play with an arm chopped off if he had to.

One game-winning drive wasn't enough, so... Peyton Manning took his team on what looked to be a game-winning touchdown drive, giving the Colts a 24-21 lead over the Jets. The Jets responded with a 103-yard kickoff return for a TD. So Peyton led his team on another game-winning touchdown drive. A wild Cal-Stanford type play failed for the Jets, and the Colts held on in the most entertaining game of the day.

I'm pretty sure Santana Moss is good. Moss caught three touchdowns -- including the game-winner in overtime -- as the Redskins beat the Jaguars 36-30 in overtime in a classic battle.

2-0 with Steve Smith. Carolina held off a late charge by the Saints to win 21-18, handing New Orleans their first loss and going to 2-2 themselves, pulling within a game of the division lead after being left for dead two weeks ago.
