Talk about a topsy tervy day in the NFL, Ravens fall, Steelers fall, Giants fall, Cowboys won, Bills won, and one of the better QB performances came from the hands of Tyler Thigpen? (4th quarter only) Here are my day after thoughts.

1. 49ers cure for bad teams4 weeks ago the San Francisco 49ers got their first win of the season by beating the Oakland Raiders, what followed was a three game winning streak for Oakland where they have outscored their opponents 115-37. Two weeks ago in London we've seen the 49ers pick up their second win of the season by beating the Denver Broncos, After the Bye week the Broncos bounced back with a massacre of their own with a 49-29 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, leading at one point 35-0. It just might be coincidence, and we don't know how the Broncos will go from here, or how the Rams will follow up their loss to San Francisco yesterday, but that is two bizzar turnarounds. Just a little thing to cross my mind while watching the scores from yesterday's game.

2. More Impressive run, Oakland or Cleveland?- True looking back on their last three games the Raiders run has seemed more impressive, 3-0, huge outscoring their opponent games, and now shares a lead in the AFC West, but i'm more impressed by what the Cleveland Browns have been able to do in their past three games, even in a loosing effort yesterday, which could have easily been another win, they are 2-1 against three tough teams who have a combined 20-7 win loss record. And their 2-1 record going up against the Saints, Patriots and Jets is more impressive than the Raiders three wins over the Broncos, Seahawks and Chiefs. Several of my friends during the draft thought I was crazy when I said If I were the Rams I would have passed on Sam Bradford with their #1 overall pick, taken Ndamukong Suh, then with their second pick taken Colt McCoy who was still on the board to be their new starting QB. No disrespect to Bradford who is doing an amazing job in St. Louis, but Colt is as a starter 2-2 against 4 of the top teams in the league who absolutely no one in their right mind would have picked against in favor of the Browns. Raiders are doing good, but the Browns are the most exciting team in the NFL for me to watch..

3. Unbelievable plays- Yesterdays games showcased an amazing horde of amazing plays which were some of the greatest plays and displays of athleticism I've seen all season. From the Jaguars Hail Marry miracle at the end of their game against the Texans, to LeGarrete Blout's mid air spin for a touchdown after being hit at the 1 for the Buccaneers, to Ochocinco's amazing tip toe touchdown reception against the Colts. I normally watch post game highlights for every game only once or twice Sunday night to see all the games best elements and everything else I missed while watching the Sunday games I normally watched. But yesterday had so many amazing plays, I was up til 1am watching them over and over, and even this morning running over to youtube to see if I could find some of those plays to rewatch. If you haven't seen them, turn on Sportcenter now and watch them. Or try and catch them now while you can here.

Players Shout Out!
Entire Dallas Cowboys Roster- Last week during my Mid season rankings I placed Dallas last, calling them a team with absolutely no heart. Yesterday, against the team I had ranked #2, with new interm head coach Jason Garrett, they played an amazing game and avenged a loss earlier this year to the same Giants. I could shuffle through and pick out their top players to list, but yesterday everyone on their roster stepped up their game, and for the first time we've seen the Cowboys play like the Superbowl team we thought they would be. Everyone on that team gets a shout out from me this week.

That is until Mike Vick showed up and out shined the Cowboys and Tom Brady in one swoop

He did have an amazing night last night. I actually called the police on Michael Vick, telling the cops that he was murdering the Redskins! His name has already been added to the conversation for League MVP this year, his performance alone last night might have been enough to secure that title.
