    87-yard run for Melvin Gordon puts Chargers up on Pats 7-0.

    Travis Benjamin (Chargers) field a punt at the 11, dropped it, picked it back up at his own 6, ran backwards into his endzone and got tackled for a safety.

    9-7 NE

    Easy pick followed by impressive runback for a TD for Eagles.

    Bengals LB with yet another pointless roughing the passer penalty allowing Indy to keep the ball. It was a play that wouldn't have been a penalty five years ago but is now, and Marvin Lewis is of course completely unable to control his players so they won't do it.

    Chargers go offside on opening kickoff of second half, Pats get a 71-yard return on the rekick.

    Zach Miller with a great TD catch for the Bears, but it looks like he messed his leg up while making it.

    And the NFL takes away a TD from the Bears maybe more confusingly than the Jets call.

    Saints now 5-2. I don't think anyone had that going into the season.

    Seahawks with the big break, as an incomplete pass by Wilson is recognized instead as a sack/fumble on review, and a Seattle player recovered the ball downfield for a first down. Two plays later Wilson throws a TD pass.

    Cowboys block a FG try and return it down to inside the 5. They score two plays later and take a 1 point lead.

    Watson is playing well for Texans.

    More than well - he's now the first QB since the merger to have 19 TD passes in his first 7 starts.

    Absolutely terrible INT for Wilson that might be the killer for Seattle.

    Marcus Williams was put in a position to succeed and gets an int in a big game for Houston.

    Amazing, Houston got rid of JAG journeymen and gave Obrien a good young QB to complement their offensive weapons and they are playing good football.

    Disappointing that on 3rd and 4, where a first down would ice the game, the Texans didn't give Watson a chance to win it on his arm or legs, but instead called a purely vanilla run up the middle that was easily stopped short of the first down. If Seattle wins this game I put the entire blame on the Houston coach and OC.

    And Wilson just completed a long pass for Seattle.

    Wilson to Graham for a touchdown with 21 seconds left. Bill O'Brien should be ashamed of himself.

    Sheldon Richardson with the big sack for Seattle.

    And now Watson throws up the prayer and it's picked off by Sherman.
