Week 9 Update: Everybody was kung fu fighting…

Saturday night’s MMA show seemed to have carried over into the early games.

Atlanta 31, Washington 17.
Falcons head coach Mike Smith takes his position as the teams fearless leader seriously, so much so he got into the middle of scuffle following  a late hit on his QB.  The fighter ON the field today was Michael Turner, leading the offense for the 2nd week in a row. Turner struggled in weeks 1-7 with 118 carries, 403 yards, but have posted 38 carries and 317 yards in weeks 8-9 alone.


Arizona 41, Chicago 21. 
The Bears continue to get hit while their down, today they just decided to return the favor. Kurt Warner does the complete 180, after throwing 5 INT’s last week, he posted 5 TD’s today, prompting the Card’s to give Matt Leinart some playing time (1 interception worth).

Cincinnati 17, Baltimore 7.

Although fighting did not take place in the literal sense, Bengals beat on the Ravens to stay atop the AFC North. Theories on the Ochocinco dollar bill shenanigans:

  • He sweats Washington’s.
  • He Stole someone’s lunch money. 
  • He planned to wear his uniform to the strip club that evening (tiger stripes are slimming AND stylish).


Tampa Bay 38, Green Bay Packers 28.
Looks like first year Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris used the timeless yet effective ‘if we win, I’ll take everyone out for creamsicles’ strategy.  Rookie QB Josh Freeman seemed especially motivated, now UNDEFEATED in his NFL carreer, 14 -31 , 205 yards, three TD’s.

No longer winless, Tampa Bay now has company on the glorious 2009 NFL season’s biggest loser pedestal. Misery loves company, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, and Cleveland.

New Orleans 30, Carolina 20. Saints streak continues, safe to keep your beads ON and your shirt OFF! Jake Delhomme puts up one of his best performances this season, 0 TD’s and 0 INT’s!
Indianapolis 20, Houston 17.  The Colts remain the bridesmaid of the undefeated teams. And not even the drunk, slutty fun bridesmaid…. More like your awkward unattractive cousin your family forced you to include, so you put her on the far end of the group pics so you can just crop her out later.
New England 27, Miami 17. Laws of the Universe prevail: Dreamboat victorious, Joey Porter still insane.
Jacksonville 24, Kansas City 21. Note to Matt Cassel, emulating Jamarcus Russell is no way to go through the 2009 season.


Seattle 32, Detroit 20. Hawks win one for mediocrity.
San Diego 21, NY Giants 20. Game in 140 characters or less, @amandarykoff: Tom Coughlin was just outcoached by Norv Turner.
Tennessee  34, San Francisco 27. Is it too early to start the Vince Young MVP campaign?
