Okay, another post on a subject no one cares about, but for hours now I've been unable to get my head around today's Bengals-Browns game. Last week the Browns shipped their starting quarterback off to the West coast in a trade. Today his replacement, Derek Anderson (go Oregon State!), threw 5 touchdowns. A Browns quarterback threw 5 touchdowns. A guy who'd been the starter for a few days threw 5 touchdowns. A guy who'd been the starter for the Cleveland Browns for a few days threw 5 touchdowns ... no, in my head it just won't add up. But congratulations to Anderson and the Browns though.
Even if it's hard to comprehend, it was still quite the game though, if you like offense. It was the first game since the 1960s - yes, the 1960s - when two quarterbacks in a game both threw for 5 or more touchdowns (Bengals QB Carson Palmer threw 6), and Browns RB Jamal Lewis rushed for 215 yards.

I'm also regretting having gone to bed early last night instead of watching the Pats-Chargers.
