Only interesting things from that game are that there's one less undefeated team now and someone played a practical joke on Tyler Eifert, replacing his receiver's gloves with boxing gloves.

And that's exactly how it ended, so you didn't miss much.

The Bungles showed up this week. Don't know where the Bengals were. Eiffert drops 3 passes, AJ Greene can't catch, and Dalton throws way wide on 3rd and long. Lord give me patience! Still 8-1 ain't too shabby.

Monday Night Football:

Hou 10, Cin 6 - The 2nd game this weekend with such a low-score of 10-6, and a relatively boring game. This is a week-to-week league, and sometimes an undefeated team is going to get beat on a given night. Plus, this week was the week of the road team winning. ELEVEN of 14 games saw the road team get the win. That don't happen very often! Anyway, the Texans suddenly are playing some great defense. After starting the season 2-5, and allowing 48 and 44 to the Falcons and Dolphins, Hou has shut down teams in their last 2 games, to the tune of 6 pts per game. The combo of Hoyer and Yates at QB did just enough to win, with a TD pass to Hopkins being the game's only TD. Neither team ran the ball well, and Dalton did not play well for the Bengals, 197 yds / 0 TD / 1 INT / 3 sacks. Cin lost in turnovers 2-1, teams were even on 3rd down efficiency, and Cincy nearly doubled the # of penalties that Hou had. The total yds for both teams was 256 yds, so defense dominated. A total of 15 punts by both teams. Bengals are now 8-1, and the Texans are one of 12 teams that have 4 wins (11 teams are 4-5, 1 team is 4-6 with a bye coming up).

BREAKING NEWS:

Peyton Manning just threw another interception...

Does he hold the record for that yet?

 

[Jeff Porter]

Does he hold the record for that yet?

I had to look it up, although my guess was Favre is the record holder for passes intercepted:

1. Favre - 336
2. Blanda - 277
3. Hadl - 268
4. ...
5. Peyton Manning - 251

For active QBs, Brees is tied for 25th with 203, Eli Manning is tied for 30th with 191.

Another interesting thing I noticed: of the top 15 in career INTs, guess how many are in the Hall of Fame (or are a lock to be)? Ten. [<-- answer is in white font, swipe it by holding mouse down and moving over that area to see it]

 

[slinches]

That makes sense. If they throw a lot of INTs per game, they won't have very long to pile up career stats.

Again, the Cleveland Clowns are beat to submission by the Pittsburg Steelers. In fact, a one legged QB almost set a passing record against them.

On the news at Noon here they commented on the uniforms and the complaints that colorblind folks made.
They then changed a video clip into B&W and it was extremely had to tell the teams apart; the Jets were a little darker, but when they had a pile of 5 players you couldn't tell which team players were in the pile (remember the field is green/gray too).
I think the numbers were 1 in 12 people are red colorblind, 1 in 20 are green colorblind, but 1 in 200 are both Green and Red colorblind.

Hmm... Maybe that explains the popularity of boring white cars...

Whatever happened to Vick?
