Woody's Mailbag: Broncos were fortuitous AND good against Titans - The Denver Post

The Titans had 46 yards of total offense in the second half. Remind me again how this is due to luck. Were there lucky developments in the game? Yes, definitely. But was the sole reason of the victory due to luck? No. The Broncos put themselves in position to win the game, and due to a little luck, that played out. But give the D at least a little credit!

Cheat Sheet: Detroit ready to turn corner? - NFL News - FOX Sports on MSN
I've been struggling coming to terms with the bizarre nature of the first four weeks of the NFL season. Of the 32 teams in the league, only one remains unbeaten. That squad? The Kansas City Chiefs, a team that’s averaged 3.3 wins over the past three seasons.
