The matchup of Rex Grossman and Eli Manning is one you'd think would result in one of the QBs getting benched in the near future if they don't play up to snuff. Grossman is throwing pretty well, all things considered, with over 200 yards passing and a score, even though most of his incompletions were — ready for this? — overthrown balls. As for Eli Manning, well, it looks like he has an endorsement for a solar-powered watch. "Unstoppable," the advertisement claims, describes both the quarterback and the watch. So wait, Eli Manning is solar powered? Well, it is raining in the game.
Meanwhile, I'm not sure who this Derrick Ward guy is — I'll check Wikipedia later — but he's seamlessly filling in for Brandon Jacobs with his first career 100-yard rushing game. Bears 13, Giants 7
We live in a terribly frightening world where a halftime lead over the Browns is actually an accomplishment. Especially for the Cardinals, who have 90 total yards of offense. Cardinals 14, Browns 10
Not only are Josh McCown and Tim Dwight both still in the league, but they combined for a passing touchdown. Raiders 14, Broncos 7
There are just McCowns, EVERYWHERE. Luke McCown is in at quarterback for the Bay near Tampa, and he's strangely keeping it interesting against New Orleans. It should be noted that the Tampa-NO game is also a 7-4 against a 5-6 team, just like the Bears and Giants, so it should be equally exciting, right? Right!? Saints 14, Buccaneers 13
