A great weekend of football, ending with Brett Favre becoming the only quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 teams in the league! Now that is a cool stat! I too went undefeated by getting all fourteen picks right this week! Here is the NFL review of week 4:
Detroit Lions at Chicago Bears
Pick: BEARS (correct) - Bears rookie wide receiver Johnny Knox broke the 21-21 tie after halftime, taking the kickoff 102 yards for the first return touchdown of his career. The Lions couldn't get anything going in the second half. After scoring three touchdowns in six drives of the first half, Detroit had minus-8 yards in the third quarter and then could only muster a field goal in three fourth-quarter possessions
Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns
Pick: BENGALS (correct) - Bengals kicker Shayne Graham nailed a 31-yard field goal during the final seconds of overtime to secure another come-from-behind victory for Cincinnati.
Oakland Raiders at Houston Texans
Pick: TEXANS (correct) - Raiders RB Justin Fargas was tackled in the end zone by Texans rookie LB Brian Cushing for a safety midway through the third quarter. Houston WR Jacoby Jones then took back Oakland's ensuing free kick 95 yards for a touchdown to give the Texans a comfortable 29-6 lead.
Seattle Seahawks at Indianapolis Colts
Pick: COLTS (correct) - Seahawks QB Seneca Wallace completed more passes, but only averaged 4.6 yards per pass play. Colts QB Peyton Manning nearly doubled that with 8.6 yards per pass play. The Colts have won 13 consecutive regular-season games, the longest current streak in the NFL.
Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: JAGUARS (correct) - The Jaguars scored on five of their first six drives, while the Titans continued to be their own worst enemy. With three more turnovers Sunday, the Titans now have 11 total on the season.
New York Giants at Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: GIANTS - Giants WR Steve Smith caught a career-high 11 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns. The Chiefs converted just 2 of 15 third-down attempts.
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots
Pick: PATRIOTS (correct) - Baltimore's potential game-winning drive stalled as Mark Clayton dropped a perfect fourth-down pass that would have given the Ravens a first-and-goal. The Patriots took a knee and ran out the remaining 28 seconds off the clock. The Patriots scored touchdowns on three of five trips inside the Ravens' 20.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Redskins
Pick: REDSKINS (correct) - Tampa Bay CB Aqib Talib had a career-high three interceptions. TE Chris Cooley's 17-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter got Washington kick-started though.
Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins
Pick: DOLPHINS (correct) - The Dolphins dialed up just 22 passing plays in an attempt to ease Chad Henne into his first career start. That was made possible by a ground game that totaled 250 yards and three touchdowns, including 200 combined rushing yards from Brown and Williams.
New York Jets at New Orleans Saints
Pick: SAINTS (correct) - New Orleans' defense actually outscored its offense. The Saints are known for their explosive passing game led by Drew Brees, but it was the defense that led them past the Jets with two touchdowns.
Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos
Pick: BRONCOS (correct) - The Broncos are off to a 4-0 start for the first time since 2003. ... Kyle Orton is 7-1 in his last eight starts. ... The Broncos have allowed 26 points in four games this season. ... The Cowboys haven't beaten the Broncos since 1995.
St Louis Rams at San Francisco 49ers
Pick: 49ERS (correct) - In pitching the shutout, the Niners allowed 177 total yards, had five sacks and scored two defensive touchdowns, including DE Ray McDonald's 11-yard fumble return in the fourth quarter.
San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: STEELERS (correct) - Mendenhall rushed for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 29 carries, all career-high marks. Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger threw for 333 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. It's the first game this season that Roethlisberger finished with more TD passes than interceptions. Jeff Reed hit a 46-yard field goal to give Pittsburgh a 38-28 lead with 43 seconds left. The Steelers led 28-0 in the third quarter but needed the late points to ice the win.
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings
Pick: VIKINGS (correct) - Favre is now only quarterback in NFL history to defeat all 32 teams in the league! The Packers, trailing 30-23, failed to recover an onside kick with less than a minute remaining. The Vikings led 30-14 in the fourth quarter, but had to hold off a rally from Aaron Rodgers and Co.
