This was yet another exciting week in the NFL. The official referees returned to the field and one could immediately tell the difference. The games went much smoother and faster than before, having little to no questionable calls. Thursday night, the Baltimore Ravens (3-1) took on the Cleveland Browns (0-4). The Ravens had an impressive showing on offense and defense, which lead to their victory over the division rivals.
There were plenty of nail biters this week including a 24-21 overtime win for the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals (4-0) took on the Miami Dolphins and rallied late in the 4th quarter pushing the game into overtime. They forced an interception and drove down the field to kick a game winning field goal. This is the first time the Cardinals are 4-0 since 1974.
Other notable games from Sunday were a matchup between the New Orleans Saints (0-4) and the Green Bay Packers (2-2) and between the Atlanta Falcons (4-0) and the Carolina Panthers (1-3). Both games went down to the wire but the Packers and Falcons pulled through.
Sunday Night was a matchup between the defending Superbowl champion New York Giants and division rival Philadelphia Eagles. The game went down to the last minute. With a win in sight, the Giants had to kick a field goa. After missing the first attempt, everyone thought the game was over but the Eagles head coach, Andy Reid, called a time out. The Giants had one more chance to win the game, but the kick fell short, leading to a divisional loss.
Monday night football showcased the Chicago Bears (3-1) and the Dallas Cowboys(1-3). The game was a complete blowout with the Cowboys throwing 5 interceptions, leading to a win for Chicago. This coming Thursday has a notable matchup between division rivals, the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Rams.
