The Good: Tony Romo plays with broken ribs and punctured lungs to win in OT.
What a bounce back performance by Romo after a horrible 4th quarter in Week 1 against the Jets that cost his team the game. Romo made up for it by coming back into Week 2’s matchup with a punctured lung and broken ribs. He lead his team from behind to make it into overtime and then made the plays to give his team the win without his top two receivers, Miles Austin and Dez Bryant. This is exactly the type of game that he needed to quiet his critics.
The Bad: The Raiders defense giving up 5 touchdown drives in a row to the Bills.
The Raiders have more talent on their team in 2011 than they have had in probably over a decade, which includes their 2003 team that went to the Super Bowl. However, the constant turnover on their coaching staff is still killing this team. They are horribly undisciplined and it is probably going to cost them a shot at the playoffs. Injuries have hurt them as well, but they need to put it all together and play up to their potential on both sides of the ball in one game. If they can do that, they will be a hard team to beat. Until then, they will continue to lose games the same fashion they lost to the Bills. No team had ever in the history of the NFL scored 5 touchdowns in five straight possessions, and they allowed the Bills to do that to them. The Chargers are licking their lips after getting beat by the Raiders twice last season.
The Ugly: The Ravens getting blown out by the mediocre Titans.
How did the Titans win this game with Chris Johnson averaging 2.2 yards a carry? It is completely inexcusable that the Raven only ran Ray Rice 13 times in this game, when Flacco was clearly struggling and he had such a good game last week against the Steelers top run defense. The Ravens need to get better against the pass and they cannot let mediocre quarterbacks throw for over 350 yards on them. Flacco needs to play better on the road or this team is not going to make the playoffs.
