The MVP Thus Far
Week two is just about in the books, Drew Brees already has 9 touchdowns, and the Jets are the real deal. Week 2 can be a very interesting week in the NFL season. Since we, as fans, only have one game to base our perceptions on, some teams can be drastically overrated or vastly underrated. Teams that don’t look all that impressive, but win (Packers, Patriots) can show their true colors. However, teams that play well but lose in week one (Bengals, Raiders) can show that they deserve some more respect. In case you missed it, let’s recap some of the big stories from Sunday.
NFL Season Preview: NFC West

Can Kurt Work His Magic In 2009?
Don’t let a Super Bowl appearance fool you, the NFC West was a bad division last season. The best of the worst was the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona took a 9-7 record into the playoffs, got hot, and were only 35 seconds away from being the Super Bowl Champions. San Francisco experienced a mid-season resurgence after Mike Singletary took over as head coach and finished 7-9. Both the Seahawks and the Rams suffered various injuries throughout the year. Without a Quarterback, Wide Receivers, or an O-Line, Seattle finished 4-12. The lowly Rams were even worse, finishing 2-14. The Cardinals may have gone to the Super Bowl, but the Seahawks and Rams are fully recovered from their injuries. If anything, the NFC West could prove to be the most surprising division in the NFL.

Sanchez Will Have his Chance Tonight
The NFL pre-season has reached the halfway point. After tonight, every team in the NFL will have played two pre-season games. Tonight’s game, however, is an important one for rookie QB Mark Sanchez. Sanchez will get his first start of the pre-season against one of the toughest defenses in the NFL. A good showing by Sanchez could mean that he’s the guy for the New York Jets this season. A poor start, and the QB competition continues. With tonight being an important night for the young signal caller, let’s take a look at some of the other QB battles in the NFL.
From Super Bowl, to…

This Year Could Turn Out Very Different for Ken Whisenhunt
Are you ready for some football? Yes, the Hall of Fame has already been played, but football is back. While there are four games on tonight, the only one to be nationally televised is a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl. One of the biggest stories leading up to the Super Bowl was the Cardinals improbable run in the playoffs. When you consider that they lost 7 games in the regular season, went 3-7 outside of their division, and were 1-4 against playoff teams during the regular season, you start to wonderhow the heck this team caught fire. Some people even argued that the Cards were the worst team to ever make it to the Super Bowl. However, they gave the Steelers one heck of a game. If it wasn’t for a tip-toe catch by Santonio Holmes, the Cardinals fortunes would have been completely reversed. The team long seen as a joke, would have been World Champions. As we all know, that was not the case. Well, the new year is almost here for the Cardinals. Another chance to reverse their fortunes and seek out glory. However, tonight might be the only time the words “Arizona Cardinals” and “Super Bowl” are mentioned in the same sentence this season.
