The NFL loses another undefeated, leaving only two, but the real story is the utter failures in Dallas and Philly. Did you miss them? Don’t worry. The Final Drive has got your back.
(2-2) Cincinnati Bengals 23(3-1) Buffalo Bills 20
And another undefeated falls! The Bengals played their brand of football and got the last second field goal to win over the Bills. Andy Dalton is slowly progressing into a legitimate NFL starter as the season draws on. Don’t get too down on the Bills though. 3-1 is a great start for a team no one thought would be anywhere near decent.
(3-1) Tennessee Titans 31(2-2) Cleveland Browns 13
WTF is up with Matt Hasselbeck? He looks like he’s 26 again, ready to tell Brett Favre what he’s going to do with the ball in overtime. Only this time he isn’t throwing interceptions. Even without Kenny Britt, the Titans lit up the Browns. Even Chris Johnson got in on the action with a 101-yard day. Welcome to the NFL season Chris.
(4-0) Detroit Lions 34(2-2) Dallas Cowboys 30
This was a collapse of epic proportions, magnified ten times because it came from the Cowboys. What a happy day it was. Tony Romo followed up his three touchdowns with three interceptions, two of which were turned in for six. Though I’m confused as to why it took Detroit so long to exploit the “Calvin Johnson versus any-Cowboy” advantage.
(1-3) Philadelphia Eagles 23
WAH-WAH. I don’t know how the Super-Eagles could give up their 20 point lead, but it’s all sorts of hilarious.
(3-1) Houston Texans 17(2-2) Pittsburgh Steelers 10
I wouldn’t have been sure the Texans would have been able to stave off the Steelers in a close game, but these Steelers are clearly not the same as we’ve seen in years past. Ditto for the Texans. Houston will likely continue aggravating and confusing experts everywhere in the next few weeks.
(3-1) Baltimore Ravens 34
(2-2) New York Jets 17
I have never seen a game with QB stats like this:
Sanchez: 11/35, 119 yards, 1 INT.
Flacco: 10/31, 163 yards, 1 INT
Seriously? Neither of them even completed 33% of their passes?!? I know these defenses are good, but this is ridiculous. Mark Sanchez just isn’t that good and Joe Flacco is too inconsistent. Oh yeah, this game took WAY too long, though the defensive scoring was hella-fun to watch.
Sexual Misquote of the Week:

Another week of NFL action in the books! Man I love this game. See you next weekend!
