1. You Play to Win, Obviously: We commend the ballsy 2-point attempt by Herman Edwards in the Chiefs’ 20-19 loss in San Diego. The play call wasn’t terrible – Shaun Phillips simply kept containment. If the NFL employed college OT (it should), then KC kicks the extra point.

2. Big Ben as Jarret Lee: Gotta love how, in the same week the highest paid players in 2008 list is released with Ben Roethlisberger at the top ($27.7 million), the Steelers’ QB cost his team a crucial game against the Colts. He threw a terrible pass at the end of the first half that let Indy get a late TD. And then he threw another bad one late in the fourth that led to Indy’s eventual game-winning TD. Monday, on the 6 pm Sportscenter: “What’s wrong with Ben Roethlisberger?” Don’t try to blame the o-line, Mark Schlereth – he wasn’t under duress on either pass.

3. Statistical inequality: Minnesota won total yards against Green Bay, 361-184. Rushing yards: Minny 220, Green Bay 74. Time of possession: 36-23, Minnesota. Other goodies: Green Bay was 0-11 on third-down conversions, scored just one offensive TD, and gave up two safeties. Final: Vikings 28, Packers 27.

4. Titans 9-0: Kerry Collins attempted 41 passes on the road, completed 30, and didn’t throw an interception. The Titans rushed for a mere 20 yards and still beat the Bears. Perplexing, huh? About as quizzical as what CFL team Sage Rosenfels will be playing for next season. Saskatchewan is lovely this time of year.

5. Offensive Rookie of the Year: Joe Flacco has officially made it a three-player race. Atlanta’s Matt Ryan is your leader, closely followed by Flacco and Tennessee’s Chris Johnson. Denver’s Eddie Royal and Chicago’s Matt Forte have also been impressive. Is New England’s Jerod Mayo the defensive leader?

6. Jarret Lee Impersonation Day: Drew Brees threw three picks (loss). Gus Frerotte threw three picks (win). Ben Roethlisberger threw three picks (loss). Jake Delhomme threw four picks (win). Sage Rosenfels threw four picks (loss).

7. Monday Monday Monday: Because we’re enormous fans of Jordana Brewster, here’s the TV plan tonight – Chuck at eight, and then watching Gossip Girl on tape at 9. Arizona vs San Francisco does nothing for us, though we are mildly curious about whether or not the Leinart beer bong photos will be shown.

8. Thanks for Nothing: Sebastian Janikowski hit the crossbar on a 58-yarder with less than 20 seconds left that would have given us the cover at +10. They needed two scores, down 17-6, so thanks for at least trying.

9. Missing in Action: Tomlinson hasn’t scored since Sept. 28, and has just two 100-yard games this season. Trent Edwards, during Buffalo’s three-game losing streak against AFC East foes, has been sacked nine times and thrown five picks. Jeremy Shockey of New Orleans has played in six games and has fumbled three times and not yet scored.

10. When you’re wrong, you’re wrong: We had Baltimore winning maybe four games. They have six. Everyone missed Atlanta, so we don’t feel that bad. Way off on the Giants. And that Colts-are-done pick that was looking prescient two weeks ago when they lost at Tennessee, has been hampered by a dumb penalty on the Patriots last week, and two massive Big Ben miscues Sunday.
