  • The New York Jets kept New England out of their end zone in a taut, 16-9 win over the Patriots, ESPN reports.

  • Drew Brees was 25-for-34 with 311 yards and three touchdowns as the New Orleans Saints clobbered the Philadelphia Eagles, 48-22.
  • Brett Favre broke an NFL record by starting for a 271st straight time, leading Minnesota over the hapless Detroit Lions, 27-13.
  • Kurt Warner set a single-game NFL record for completion percentage, going 24 for 26, as the Arizona Cardinals beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 31-17.
  • Chad Ochocinco fulfilled his promise to make a Lambeau Leap in Green Bay after scoring a touchdown—the difference in a 31-24 Cincinnati Bengals win over the Packers.

Ha! I'm happy anytime the Pats loose, and that it was the Jets makes it just that little bit sweeter. Too bad KC sucked it up so badly though...
