The power has gone off a few times at Ralph Wilson Stadium in lovely Buffalo, delaying the game and forcing fans at home to watch parts of Pittsburgh-Cincinnati. (The horror!) CBS seems to have its broadcast in order now, though ... just in time for an inspiring Bills drive which ended with a hilarious Marshawn Lynch hustle into the end zone. Buffalo
leads San Diego 20-14 heading into the fourth.
Buffalo seems real alive right now, making all the hard hits and keeping San Diego's usually potent offense off-kilter. LaDainian Tomlinson has done jack, the Bills are riding Darren Sproles into the ground, and most of Philip Rivers' throws have been of the shorter variety.
Meanwhile, St. Louis has pulled out to
a 31-7 lead (!) over Dallas on the back of a third TD for Steven Jackson. Still no Romo, despite a second Brad Johnson INT. Adrian Peterson is trying to keep Minnesota alive in Chicago (
41-31 Bears) with a violet-hued messianic 110 yards and two scores. Chicago has two special teams TDs: one on a twice-blocked punt (don't ask) and the other on a muffed Minnesota return. Also, Gus Frerotte is making the case for a Tavarisurrection (3 INTs).
Still
no points for Kansas City. Good news, though: Tyler Thigpen has relieved Damon Huard of duty. Huard's day just got a whole lot better.
