I’m going to do a much more comprehensive review of what we learned from the NFL today when I have more time tomorrow. For now, though, I just want to touch on five different stats. Each of them is almost impossible to believe, but they all happened. Not surprisingly, three of them came from the same game:

1. 59-0. Quite simply – no pro team should be able to beat another pro team by 59 points. Very few college games should have a margin like that. To put this into context, only five games in the entire history of the NFL have had wider margin of victory, and the last of those was in 1940. This is impossibly ridiculous.

2. Five TDs in a quarter. Tom Brady threw for five TD passes in the second quarter. That has never been done before. Just think of what it required for that to happen. The Patriots had to get the ball back five times in one quarter, they had to be able to score quickly enough to give themselves the next chance, and then they had to shut the Titans down completely to get the next chance. That means that there had to be a minimum ofnine possessions in the quarter (there were actually 10), and five had to score. That absolutely should not be possible in the NFL.

3. 2 of 14 for -7 yards passing. That’s the passing line for the two Titans’ QBs. Just think about that for a second – 14 percent passing, and they lost yardage on those passes. They had a 15 yard completion and a -22 yard debacle. That’s it. Even JaMarcus Russell thinks that that is terrible. There are some good defenses out there, and there have been better ones over the years, but no defense should be able to shut down an offense to this extent – never mind one that is so injury-riddled that it had to bring Junior Seau out of retirement this week. This is indescribably, incomprehensibly terrible.

4. Raiders 13 – Eagles 9. Are we really supposed to believe that the Eagles are a legitimate contender after this result? This is a hundred kinds of embarrassing.

5. 10 of 29, 119 yards, five interceptions. Remember when Vinny Testaverde was throwing more interceptions than seemed possible, and they finally checked his eyes and realized that the problem was color-blindness – he couldn’t distinguish his receivers from the opposing players? Maybe Mark Sanchez should get his eyes checked. He was bad today – really, really bad. The comparisons to superstar QBs were flying all over the place after the first few weeks of his stellar play, but that was clearly premature. I’m not suggesting for a second that this means that Sanchez can’t or won’t have a very good career. It just means that we need to keep our heads when we are talking about rookie QBs. Flacco and Ryan were so notable last year because they were so rare.
