[#000000]Finally football has reached ... Week #5. With seven teams entering Week #4 undefeated, by weeks end, only three teams remained unblemished. [/#000000]
[#000000][/#000000]
[#000000]With that being said, lets begin in New Jersey where the Colts remained unbeaten, as Peyton Manning led a last minute touchdown drive to stun the Jets 31-28. [/#000000]
[#000000][/#000000]
[#000000]In Baltimore, the Ravens improved to 4-0 as Steve McNair rallied his team in the final minute to knock off the previously unbeaten Chargers 16-13, while in the Windy City, the 4-0 Bears preyed upon the wounded Seahawks as they routed Seattle 37-6. [/#000000]
[#000000][/#000000]
[#000000]The Patriots found their winning step, as they stopped the Bengals dead in their tracks with a 38-13 victory, while the Panthers handed the Saints their first loss of the season, winning 21-18. In the two blowouts of the week, the Cowboys throttled the Titans 45-14, while the Chiefs dismantled the 49ers 41-0. [/#000000]
[#000000][/#000000]
[#000000]The Falcons used a dominating "D" to cruise past the Cardinals 32-10, while Mark Brunell connected with Santana Moss on a 68 yard touchdown pass in overtime to shoot down the Jaguars 36-30. [/#000000]
[#000000][/#000000]
[#000000]Finally, in the Monday Night finale, a second half barrage from Donovan Mcnabb and the Eagles, sent the Packers packing 31-9. [/#000000]

[font "Verdana"][#000000][size 2]Slow start ... skip, skip ... turnovers ... skip, skip ... offense plays well ... skip, skip ... no pass defense ... skip, skip ... Lions lose! ... skip, skip. So Lion fans, is this starting to sound like a broken record? Of course this is not the start we were all hoping for, but dog gone it, we still need to stay strong and have some hope. Rather than a broken record, couldn't we be a scratched CD? Simply clean it up a bit and it will play beautifully ... Right? So lets not begin to panic, lets get a win this week against the Vikes, because the dreadful thought of our team starting 0-5 will have us all screaming "YIKES"! "Time to buy another lottery ticket [laugh]"
