It's Got to Be the Morning After

Somewhere, a lot of really good, exciting football games were on TV. Just not here.

Chiefs 41, 49ers 0: Worst. Loss. Ever. No, seriously, it was the worst shutout loss in 49ers history. It doesn't get better once you look at the stats either. The Niners total offense racked up less than 200 yards, Smith got sacked five times, they committed five turnovers, and the Niners couldn't touch backup QB Damon Huard once. Something to definitely to worry about too is that the Niners have fallen behind early in three of their games, to the tune of being outscored 82-20 in the first half over the season. In the first two, they rallied somewhat. This week, nothing. And there D has now given up 79 points in two games. Say goodnight to all those excited Niners fans.

Browns 24, Raiders 21: Well, the good news is that the Raiders actually scored some touchdowns-- by Lamont Jordan and Randy Moss even. Three of them, in fact. They even had a lead, 21-3. And that's pretty much your Raiders highlight right there. From there, the Browns, the 0-3 Browns, dominated the game and rallied to win. Okay, the Browns took the lead only in the last three minutes of the game, but the Raiders did pretty much nothing after going up 21-3 early in the second quarter. And here's your Raiders big concern: QB Andrew Walter was 9-23 for 68 yards.
