WEEK FOUR LIVE GAME BLOG!!!
By TheDarkHorse
Welcome to Week Four of the National Football League. Lots of big games today. We’ll be following (and commenting on) all the action RIGHT HERE.
Eli Manning has the Giants rolling.
...but Mark Sanchez is aiming to steal the city's heart.
I’ve got Giants/Chiefs and Ravens/Patriots here, and I’ll also be checking in on RedZone.
Chiefs fumble the opening KO return. Giants ball inside the 20.
Lots of important games today.
After Week Four, we have a pretty clear picture of the where teams stand.
LOVE THE REDZONE.
What do you think of the smattering of pink on the field?
For a good cause.
Yeah, it’s for a good cause … some players are wearing the pink cleats, and coaches have hats with pink brims, too.
It’s certainly no worse than the Seahawks jerseys last week.
Manning TD to Steve Smith. Giants lead 7-0
How’s the Derek Anderson era going so far?
It started with 3 picks last week—–should pick up seamlessly from there.
I started Manning over Romo… hope it pays off.
Shaun Rogers blocks a Cincy FG attempt.
Donald Brown rushes in for a TD for the Colts, to lead the seahawks 7-0
Red Zone channel may be the greatest development in football viewing in our lifetime.
Anderson 3-and-out. Braylon Edwards big drop. CROWD IS FURIOUS.
I liked the Seahawks dayglow jerseys. I may be the only one though.
Cutler with a Elway-eque dive into the endzone for a TD.
Bears tie the Lions 7-7.
Outside of the opening game, Cutler’s been great.
Flacco to Mason for a TD to take the lead against the Pats.
Mason is hurt on the play (6 catches, 77 yds, TD already).
Cleveland has the ball for 45 seconds in the first quarter. This team is AWFUL.
Manningham has now had 3 passes bounce off his hands: 1 drop, 1 he hauled in for a long reception, and 1 just got picked off by KC.
Bengals pick up Browns fumble and return it for a TD.
Cleveland has scored 1 TD since last November.
I’m gonna’ turn off the TV and read a book.
Manning to Smith for the 2nd TD of the day. 14-3 NY
Cutler looks great today.
in Chicago, Johnny Knox returns the 2nd half opening KO for a TD
28-21 CHI, in what’s turning into the game of the day
Hakeem Nicks gets his first TD for the Giants … this game’s over
Cleveland has come back to life!
Josh Cribbs has gone insane!!!
CRIBBS!
Cincy/Cleveland and NE/Bal are the two best early games coming down the stretch
DarkHorse … Browns get the ball back in OT against the Bengals.
Ravens turnover the ball on downs inside the 20. Pats win
I was hoping big Shaun was going to get another block. Sorry tDH.
Mark Sanchez sacked and fumbled in the enzone, Saints recover.
New Orleans leads 17-0. Rude awakening for the Jets golden boy.
Here’s video of that Saints sack/TD:

Along with the 99-yd INT return for a TD by Saints CB Darren Sharper:

Bills and Rams look awful. Uggh.
Saints beating the Jets by 2 TDs
Cowboys/Broncos is really the only good late game. Dallas is up 10-7 in the 4th, but Denver is driving.
Wow, I’ve seen that Bengals GW field goal 6 times now, and it still doesn’t look like it went in.
Sanchez picked off AGAIN. His 3rd today. It’s over in NOLA.
Let’s see if the media turns on him. At 3-1, and with this being a non-conference game, probably not yet.
That TD run by Cutler was pretty awesome. Not huge yardage, but 3TDs and no INTs. Here’s video of the TD:

Brandon Marshall!!! Denver takes the lead over Dallas. What a run after the catch on that one. Orton is acting like he did something.
Oh COURTNEY, where for art thou?
Romo with a chance to tie it here … 25: seconds to go, 1st and goal
Denver hangs on!!! The Donkies start 4-0.
Josh McDaniels is the toast of the town. Completely shocking.
