Uh-oh, Bears fans. Minnesota’s juggernaut rolls along with Brett Favre at quarterback and Adrian Peterson running wild. The Vikings are 2-0 and have looked impressive. Maybe old-man Favre has something left in the tank after all.
STUD OF THE WEEK
Chris Johnson
The Tennessee running back was a one-man wrecking crew, which is not to say he wrecked the Titans in their loss to Houston. Johnson ran for 197 yards and two touchdowns and caught another touchdown. That’s something for her (left) to cheer about.
DUD OF THE WEEK
Tom Brady
Yes, you read that right. New England’s quarterback threw for 216 yards, with one interception and no touchdowns in the Patriots’ 16-9 loss to the New York Jets. At least he gets to go home to Gisele Bundchen (left).
THUD OF THE WEEK
Brian Westbrook
Philadelphia, already hampered by the loss of quarterback Donovan McNabb, watched spark-plug Westbrook (below) leave with an ankle injury in the Eagles’ loss to the Saints. That sound you heard was fantasy football players across the country screaming an obscenity.
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Miami vs. Indianapolis
7:30 p.m. ESPN
Relax, Northwestern fans. When you hear “wildcat,” it’s a reference to Miami’s offense.
