• Patriots 19, Jets 10: Brett Favre got a rousing welcome from the Meadowlands faithful, but after his introduction, things turned sour. The Jets -- who got plenty of love following a Week 1 win -- played a sloppy and uninspired game against the Tom Brady-less Patriots. Whether it be Jay Feely's missing a 31-yard field goal or Favre taking a 20-yard sack, the Jets put forth a C effort. The Patriots defense, as old as it is, still checked the Jets' inconsistent offense. The total yards in this game were all but even, but the Patriots managed to ugly up the game enough. Favre went 18-for-26 for 181 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Jets visit San Diego -- now 0-2 -- on Monday night next week. That won't be easy either.
  • Giants 41, Rams 13: The Rams are no good. The Giants toyed with them for a half but then blew them out of the building. Even Ahmad Bradshaw, who did not do much in Week 1, got in the act after Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress did their thing. The Giants' defense had an easy time, too. Justin Tuck picked off a pass and ran it back for a touchdown. The team is 2-0 and hasn't faced a test yet. That won't change next week, when they play the 0-2 Bengals.
  • Braves 7, Mets 4: Greg Norton (!) hit a go-ahead home run off Luis Ayala, who is far from perfect as the Mets' closer. David Wright (not clutch?) hit two homers and Oliver Perez pitched well, but that didn't do enough. With the Phillies sweeping a doubleheader, the lead in the National League East is one game.
  • Yankees 7, Rays 4: Carl Pavano picked up his third win, but Derek Jeter's hit parade is the big story. he shortstop tied Lou Gehrig for most hits at Yankee Stadium. If Alex Rodriguez were padding his stats by chasing an individual record with his team out of it, he would never hear the end of it. But Jeter is being celebrated. Not to take anything away from him, who should be a first-ballot Hall of Famer, but writing a sentence with both Jeter and Gehrig is almost an insult to Gehrig.
