(Miami vs. Carolina)

- Ponce de Leon sought the Fountain of Youth in Florida. Ricky Williams found it in Miami.

- Admit it. You didn’t think Ricky had any thing left in the gas tank did you?

- That benching served Joey Porter well didn’t it?

- Falling like flies, Miami’s offensive line comes through in the clutch.

- That kid, Chad Henne, keeps impressing.

- Watch out for Miami next year.

- Jake Delhomme shouldn’t be throwing the ball 42 times a game with DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart in the backfield.

- He may not get it much, but Steve Smith sure knows how to make a spectacular catch when he does.

(Minnesota vs. Seattle)

- Brad Childress gets a contract extension? Jimmy Johnson isn’t the only coach to fleece Vikings ownership.

- Watch the money? Favre gets a big bonus somewhere down the line.

- Childress owes him that much and more.

- 22 TDs and 3 INTs? Is this the Brett Farve we’ve come to know and love.

- Speaking of love, Favre spreading it around to all the non-named Viking receivers.

- You can tell the Vikings are getting that Super Bowl-run confidence.

- Blow outs like these and Minnesota may not need to worry about Favre falling apart at the end of the season. He’ll be sitting by the third quarter of each game.

- T.J. Houshmandzadeh may be rethinking his decision not to sign with the Vikings in the off-season.

- Where have you gone, Seattle offense?

- Justin Forsett – 8 carries for 9 yards? Ouch!

- How long will Jim Mora last in Seattle?

- Mike Holmgren anyone?

(Green Bay vs. San Francisco)

- Grant leads the charge for the Packer’s running game.

- Green Bay’s track star receivers get, well, on track.

- Greg Jennings streaks through the 49ers secondary like running the anchor leg on the 4 X 100.

- Aaron Rodgers returns to form.

- Don’t be surprised if the Packers make a push for the last wild card spot.

- Nice first TD grab by the Crab(tree).

- Vernon Davis continues his push to be considered one of the best tight ends in the league.

(New England vs. NY Jets)

- And we thought Rex Ryan’s April Showers were a big excessive last week?

- Get read for Cry me a River after the Jets pathetic display against the Pats.

- Mark Sanchez’s learning on the job experience continues.

- Chin up, Mark. Even Peyton had rookie days like this.

- Leigh (Bodden) for Three (picks).

- I still can’t believe Miami gave up Wes Welker (15 – 192 yards).

- There’s no question who Brady’s main man is, and his first name isn’t Randy.

- Okay, NBC, Belichick screwed up on the 4th and 2 call. Let … it … go.

(Cleveland vs. Detroit)

- The Browns secondary: Where careers are born. (Matt Stafford)

- The Lions secondary: Where careers are born. (Brady Quinn)

- If Stafford goes on to a Hall of Fame career, this game will be one of those in his highlight resume.

- Poor Eric Mangini. He can’t get anything right. Not even a timeout.

- Talk about handwriting on the wall.

(San Diego vs. Denver)

- Two ships passing in the night.

- One on its way upstream (Chargers), the other down (Broncos).

- Didn’t you used to be Josh McDaniels, potential coach of the year candidate?

- Chris Simms shouldn’t be on anyone’s roster.

- How embarrassing that a quarterback not even slated to start has to come in to replace you?

- Expect to see more fumbles like Knowshown Mareno’s with guys trying to extend the ball over the goal line for a touch down.

- At least the rookie has some fight in him. Ask Brandon Marshall.

(Oakland vs. Cincinnati)

- Speaking of fight, the Raiders, like their coach, still can bring it.

- Just when you want to give Oakland credit, you remember that they’re coached, er, owned by Al Davis.

- Nice effort by Louis Murphy to back into the end zone.

- Bruce Almighty!

- Gradkowski gets it done for da Raiders.

- Raiders’ unsung MVP, Brandon Myers.

- His strip and recovery of the fumble by Andre Caldwell was huge.

- Speaking of Caldwell, yes you caused your team a game it should have won.

- Dolt of the Week, easily.

- But the entire Bengals team seemed to sleep walk in the second half.

- So much for putting distance between yourself and the Steelers and Ravens who also loss.

- Bernard Scott did a good job in Benson’s absence, but did the Bengals miss Benson that much this time?

- One if by air two is by feet, Carson Palmer gets in with his legs, but his arm would have been more valuable to Cincy’s cause.

(Pittsburgh vs. KC)

- One team’s trash (Chris Chambers) is another team’s treasure.

- The Steelers special teams really, really sucks.

- Jamal Charles in Charge on the return unit.

- The Steelers likely would have won had Big Ben not gotten his bell run.

- Another nod to Hines Ward as a Pro Bowl candidate.

- The Steelers really, really miss Troy Polamalu.

- Even in defeat, I like Mike Tomlin. Classy coach. No excuses. Takes responsibility. You know he’s going to turn that squad around.

(Indy vs. Baltimore)

- Dallas Clark with the best catch of the day.

- Even when he's average, Peyton is spectacular.

- Ray Lewis still lays the wood even if he can still get junked out of his shoes.

- Garcon gonna see Ray Lewis in his nightmares.

- Oh no, don't, don't throw, Joe (Flacco).

- Ed Reed pitched the ball one time too many.

- The Colts defense is vastly underrated.

- Not considered among the elite but always getting the job done.

- Uh, Billy Cundiff, it's the field goals you don't make that land you on the unemployment line. Ask the man whose place you took.

- Matt Stover sticks it to his old team.

- Jim Caldwell, Coach of the Year?

(New Orleans vs. Tampa)

- The Saints ... too ... many ... weapons.

- The MVP of the league is down to three quarterbacks: Farve, Peyton and Brees.

- The Bucs need to return to creamscicle and white.

(Dallas vs. Washington)

- Romo saves the say with a tackle and a touchdown pass.

- Dallas D stepping up, offense, uh, not so much.

- Cowboys fans arrived at the new stadium and witness a baseball game break out.

- It's official: The Lions fleeced the Cowboys.

- I wouldn't be surprised if Roy Williams isn't with the Cowboys next year.

- If the Cowboys don't discipline Terance Newman, well, that's all you need to know about how lax an organization Jerry Jones is running.

- Dave Campo shouldn't have put his hands on Newman, though.

- The guy is a lazy receiver. And that's being kind to the word "lazy."

(Buffalo vs. Jacksonville)

- T.O. said he wanted to have more receiving yards than Roy Williams.

- One big day and he's already the frontrunner.

- I betcha he didn't even care that Buffalo won. He got his.

- This Fitzpatrick kid is growing into the starting spot.

- There's just no stopping Maurice Jones-Drew near the goal line.

- Watch out, but here come the Jags with a wild card spot at stake.

(NY Giants vs. Atlanta)

- Glory Days: The Boss (Kevin) leads the Giants party into the end zone.

- Tony Gonzalez still the most athletic tight end in the game.

- Either Eli found his mojo or his foot feels better.

- A little bit too late for Matt Ryan and the rally.

- Falcons may be outside looking in come playoff time.

(Chicago vs. Philadelphia)

- We know Jay Cutler wasn't a marksman in another life.

- He couldn't hit a receiver if you painted a bull's eye on his jersey.

- Paging Matt Forte.

- You can only keep DeSean Jackson in check for so long.

- When Robbie Gould is your biggest offensive scoring threat, your team is in trouble.

- Top 5 ... 1.) Colts, 2.) Saints, 3.) Vikings, 4.) Patriots, 5.) Chargers

- Bottom 5 ... 28.) Detroit. 29.) Seattle 30.) Washington 31.) Buccaneers 32.) Browns
