Kansas City Chiefs v/ Pittsburgh Steelers:
First: The Steelers defense made the Chiefs offense look sad. The game was over before half-time and the Chiefs had only managed to put up 42 yards of offense. If the Steelers were looking a little sickly before this week, they sure seem better now.

Second: Johnson’s post-interception tackle of Troy Polamalu might not have been illegal (it wasn’t) but it certainly wasn’t very nice. Actually, it was less the tackle that bothered me than it was Johnson’s attitude after he pulled Polamalu down by his hair; it wasn’t what you would call a classy play on his part.

Third: Here in Denver, they actually switched coverage from the KC game with something like 10 minutes left so that we could watch the closer Miami game. That doesn’t happen often and, for local KC fans, it cant’ feel very good.

Dallas v/ Houston
First: What’s this? A story about TO that isn’t negative in tone? Shocking.

Second: Dallas beat up the sad (but not, so far, as sad as the Raiders) Houston Texans. The tough thing about beating a team like Houston is that no one is impressed. If you beat them, well, so what? You were supposed to beat them. If you lose, well, that’s another story entirely.

Third: Which is, of course, why I’m a little worried about tonight’s Broncos-Raiders game.

Miami v/ New York Jets
First: Are the Dolphins better with Harrington instead of Daunte Cullpepper? Cullpepper, like Kurt Warner seems to be, might see his brilliant career end on a sad, injury-plagued note. What

Second: Miami still didn’t win, but it seemed like there was at least a chance.
