Brett Favre joined Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 60,000 yards during the Packers’ 34-0 shellacking of the Vikings today. (Yes! I started the GB defense this week!) Adrian Peterson injured his knee thanks to an Al Harris helmet shot, but Jesus eventually rose and made his way to the bench. Expect Big Daddy Drew to announce a cool $37.62 bounty on Harris’s dreadlocks by noon tomorrow.
In other noteworthy news: Joey Harrington found Crumpler for a last second Falcons win over the Panthers; Big Ben and McNabb pulled off a few second-half heroics to lead the Steelers and Eagles to victories, respectively; and the Bills won their fourth in a row on a 34-yarder via Ryan Lindell’s foot. It was a nice ‘lil buffet of one o’clockers, actually.
Checking in on the current action: Reuben Droughns’ 1-yard TD run has given the Giants their first lead versus the Cowboys; Kurt Warner’s got the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals moving the chains; and Da Bears and Raiders are trying hard to out suck each other.
But hold on, there’s more! If you promise NOT to tell a friend about that ugly Bears-Raiders game, Madden and Co. will throw in an Indianapolis at San Diego game … FREE!
Can the Colts bounce back from their tough loss to The Greatest Team Ever? Can the Chargers give up 300 yards to Joseph Addai? Who knows? That’s why we watch the game, folks. Enjoy it.

Gus Johnson, calling that exhilarating Bills-Fins game today, just got done saying before the half that he thinks the Steelers are being slept on and that they could easily hang with the Patriots or Colts. DA says, “Suck on my Horse Balls, Gussy!” Browns 21, Steelers 9
Vikings running Jesus, Adrian Peterson, has 45 yards on nine carries. But Packers rookie Ryan Grant has 92 yards on 12 carries, including a nice 30-yard TD. Musonius Rufus, anybody? Anybody? Packers 13, Vikings 0
Stephen Jackson finally found the end zone, punching in a 2-yard touchdown near the end of his first quarter. Up next? Waldo! Rams 17, Saints 7
I love when a safety fucks up the look of an NFL score. Royals 8, Rockies 6.
The Klaus Daimler, Thanks A Lot For Not Picking Me Games
Redskins 12, Eagles 7
Jaguars 14, Titans 3
Dolphins 3, Bills 0
Panthers 10, Falcons 7

Minnesota at Green Bay, FOX
Last week, rookie sensation Adrian Peterson broke the single-game rushing record, picking up 296 yards and three touchdowns against the Bolts. So what can he possibly do for an encore? Well, personally I’m hoping to hear a “City Is Mine” or maybe an “Incarcerated Scarfaces” … but I guess another 200-yard game would be cool too.
Atlanta at Carolina, FOX
The Falcons have yet to win a road game, and the Panthers are winless in front of the home folks. This game is definitely going to end in a tie, Suss.
Denver at Kansas City, CBS
The Broncos are next to last in point differential this season (minus-101), just in front of St. Louis (minus-120). Yet, the Broncos are a game out of first place in the AFC West, while St. Louis is 0-8. This sounds a lot like my fantasy football team’s luck. (Seriously. I’m, like, 3rd in total points scored, but my record is 3-6.)
Buffalo at Miami, CBS
My Bills are suddenly making noise — winning four of their last five — and now they catch the pathetic Dolphins coming off a bye week. Yep. We’ll lose this game.
St. Louis at New Orleans, FOX
I don’t like New Orleans playing football games at one o’clock. It’s unsettling.
Cleveland at Pittsburgh, CBS
The Browns (5-3) need a win to keep pace with the first-place Steelers (6-2), who look to stay undefeated at Heinz this season. Is this the game of the day? It is if I’m eating a grilled-cheese sandwich that someone else made for me while watching it. Sure.
Jacksonville at Tennessee, CBS
In the 2007 season opener, Titans RB Chris Brown rushed for 175 yards as Tennessee won 13-10 in Jacksonville. Fortunately for the Jags, Chris Brown quit football to focus his attention on taking the R&B world by storm. LenDale White now anchors the TT running game.
Philadelphia at Washington, FOX
Come watch the pride of Wallaceburg, Ontario, Shaun Suisham, kick five or six footballs through the uprights!
