First, the topic buzzing all over the sports world...Should the rule that recalled Calvin Johnson's reception be changed? This rule, known as the Bert Emanuel Rule, is not new to the league or its players, but it is in constant questioning because of the way it can change a game. Had Johnson's reception been ruled complete the Lions would have won their third game in two seasons. Does the rule prevent receptions from being called complete after aid from the ground or does a great catch get negated because of it? The only thing that is known about this rule is that if anything will be changed about it, it will have to wait until March to even be a topic of real discussion!
A rather refreshing turn of events happened up in Seattle with Pete Carroll's return to the NFL. The Seattle Seahawks played division rival 49ers and to say that they owned the boys from the Bay is an understatement! In a game that started out looking good for the 49ers, that changed quickly! The Seahawks beat the 49ers 31-6! Seattle fans weren't the only ones to see great things from their formally disappointing team. Those in attendance getting soaked in Kansas City's New Arrowhead Stadium saw their team charge the Chargers in a 21-14 win. I think of all the games I watched on Sunday/Monday the Chiefs' fans were definitely the loudest.
The Jets and Giants both hosted teams in their new stadium. Results: 1-1. The Giants beat Carolina 31-18 while the Jets dropped their opener to the Ravens in a mistake ridden 10-9 loss. The most entertaining part of the Jets game was probably the fireman in charge of rallying Jets' fans in the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS! chant! That and the fact that good ol' Ray Lewis rocked a Jet or two for some classic Ray Lewis hits!
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the week was that the Indianapolis Colts dropped a game to the Texans for just the second time 34-24. This has many questioning what is happening in Indy?
Week 2 predictions to come later this week!
