The Steelers looked awesome this week, granted, they played the lowly Browns, but they dominated the game on both sides of the ball. After a horrible year last year, Ben Roethlisberger played a great, mistake free game in which he passed for 4 touchdowns.
The defense played an amazing game as well, with 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovery. Mike Tomlin's debut really could not have gone any better. Now it's time to see them play against a real condender and see how they stack up.
Surprises in week 1:
- The Texans anniahlating the Chiefs, now unfortunetely this game was not on tv in my area, but the Texans absolutely dominated Kansas City, Mario Williams had 2 sacks and a fumble recovery for a TD, and Larry Johnson was rendered almost useless. I'm just curious to see whether the Chiefs are that bad, or the Texans are finally getting better. I think it's a little bit of both.
-Randy Moss' huge receiving day: After a few years in offensively inept Oakland, Randy Moss is playing with a legit QB and offense again and it's obviously making a world of difference. He ended up with 183 yards and a TD.
Chris Brown of the Titans also had a huge day against Jacksonville's once feared run defense, putting up 175 yards.
Besides that, it was a pretty predictable and uneventful week 1 in my book.
* Best wishes to the Buffalo Bills and especially to Kevin Everett, who suffered a serious spine injury and will likely be paralyzed. It's always sad to see such serious injuries in sports.
