Its Sunday afternoon in the Madden World and two games are still missing... Jones is again with his back on the wall... Where is Terminator-Coach Nuff

Quick Take: Packers hold off strong Chiefs, win 27-21

Greg Jennings gets in position to deliver the perfect block, opening the left side of the field and allowing Ryan Grant a 74yrd TD run on the first play of the Packer's second drive.

It was over when...

Charles Woodsom picked off Tyler Thigpen at the Packers 25, stopping the Chief's last drive with just a minute to play in the last quarter. Two strong run plays later, the Packers got a first down and KC ran out of timeouts.

Game ball

Packers RB Ryan Grant drove fear into the Chief's defenders, running for 150 yards and adding 93 yards through the air. He also scored all three Packers TDs. Two TDs came off big plays, the first when Grant scored after a 74 yrds run and the second when he broke a tackle on a short outside pass and juke moved past the safety to score after 69 yards.

Key stat

Aaron Rodgers had another strong game, throwing for 316yrds and hitting 70% of his passes. Although throwing an interception on his first pass of the game that led to the Chief's early lead, he managed to achieve a 97.2 QB rating.

Noteworthy

Two of the Chiefs TD came off Packers turnovers, the first when Derrick Johnson picked off A-Rod on his first pass of the game, returning it 16yrds into the endzone. The second Chiefs TD came after Ryan Grant fumbled the ball on the Packers 14yrd line. On the other hand, both Chiefs Interceptions were thrown deep in Packers territory, denying them well deserved points. Also noteworthy are the two unsuccessfull 51yrd FGs, the first one hitting the right upright and the second one being whistled back on a holding penalty. Bad luck for the Chiefs!!

Quick Take: Big plays lift Bengals past Bills, 38-26

Cedric Benson sheds several tacklers as he rumbles runs 18 yards to open the scoring in the first quarter
 

It was over when...

User-controlled LB Keith Rivers stripped the ball from J.P. Losman, and big DT Domata Peko recovered, with the Bengals up 35-14 and 2 minutes left in the third quarter. Although the Bills would put up a late rally, it was too little, too late.

Game ball

Cincinnati's LE Robert Geathers registered 3 sacks - a real difference maker in a game of two very evenly matched team. Geathers now has 7 sacks for the season.

Key stat

None - you would find it very hard to tell who won by looking at the stat sheet! Both QBs even had the exact same number of passing yards (253). Thus, big plays decided the outcome, and the Bengals simply had a few more of those, including a 46 yard INT return for a TD by Jonathan Joseph, a 57 yard catch and run by Kenny Watson on 3rd and 5, and a 43 yard bomb for a TD from Palmer to Chad "call me Ocho Cinco" Johnson.

Noteworthy

Trent Edwards left the game in the second quarter with a dislocated ankle, and is expected to miss 6 weeks... Against a stout Bills defense, Bengals RB Cedric Benson managed just over 100 yards rushing... Controlled for the entire game by coach Ickey himself, OLB Keith Rivers had a very nice stat line: 4 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 2 pass deflections, and most importantly, 1 BIG HIT.

Week 9 should be going along well, because the Phins, Bears and Rams have a bye week and it also marks the first week were the "Quick Play Rule" will be completely installed.
