NFL - Week Four Review

The only undefeated team in the NFL after four weeks is the Kansas City Chiefs?
No kidding.
The Chiefs are 3-0 following their bye week and the lone unbeaten team remaining after the Steelers lost a tough one at home in the closing seconds, 17-14 to the Baltimore Ravens. The Chicago Bears were blasted by the New York Giants, 17-3 as quarterback Jay Cutler was sacked NINE times in the first half. Cutler was knocked out of the game with a concussion as New York's defense tallied 10 sacks in the win.
There are still four winless teams as Detroit, Carolina, Buffalo and San Francisco lost once again. The Cleveland Browns earned their first win in 2010 with a 23-20 home win against Cincinnati.
After four weeks in the NFL, the division races are beginning to heat up as many teams are 2-2 and there is no real dominant team looming large this season.

St. Louis is tied for first place in the NFC West with Arizona and Seattle (2-2) after winning their second straight game as they toppled the Seahawks, 20-3 behind solid defense and rookie QB Sam Bradford, who threw two touchdown passes and had 289 yards through the air...
Speaking of Arizona, they were completely dominated by the host San Diego Chargers, 41-10 as the San Diego defense sacked Arizona quarterbacks nine times in the game, including four by linebacker Shaun Phillips, the Heftyinfo NFL Player of the Week.

Donovan McNabb emerged victorious in his return to Philadelphia as the Washington Redskins beat the Eagles, 17-12. McNabb had a TD pass and the Redskins defense knocked Eagles' QB Michael Vick out of the game in the first half and then held Kevin Kolb and the Eagles in check the rest of the way for the win...
