Detroit demolishes Kansas City, 48-3. Charles carted off with injured knee

We all knew Detroit would be good this year... But not this good. With Matthew Stafford healthy so far this season, the Lions ripped apart the reigning AFC West champs as they dismantled their defense and possibly all hopes for this season. Jamaal Charles left the game with what appeared to be an ACl injury, which would sideline him for the rest of the season. Matthew Stafford tossed for 294 yards and 4 TDs as he hooked up with Calvin Johnson twice. Detroit will look to improve their record as they travel to Minnesota next week; Kansas City will travel to San Diego next week. The Lions have been extremely efficient on offense after racking up 75 points in their two games. KC has only scored 10 points this season but they've been bullied on defense after letting up 89 points in only two games.

Cards give Hightower a reunion present, hand the game to the Redskins

During the week, Tim Hightower guaranteed the Washington Redskins would beat his former team, the Arizona Cardinals. The Richmond running back had 96 rushing yards against the Cards as tHe Redskins scored 12 points in the final quarter for a 22-21 win. The Cardinals intercepted Washington QB Rex Grossman twice in the first quarter but trailed 10-7 at the half. A stable running game from Beanie Wells and a 73-yard Kolb to Fitzgerald TD pass gave Arizona a 21-13 lead in the fourth quarter. Washington would come back to score an 18-yard TD to Santana Moss (failed 2pt conversion) and a 34-yard field goal punched in by Graham Gano. With about a minute left, the Cardinals came out rolling but the momentum was suddenly stopped when Chansi Stuckey fumbled at midfield and Washington closed out the game in a victory formation. The Redskins are a surprising 2-0 as they continue their dominance over the Cards by winning the past 8 match-ups. Arizona falls to 1-1 with a game against Seattle next week at Qwest Field.

Luck and Skill, Stanford punishes Arizona 37-10

Andrew Luck passed for 325 yards and 2 TDs as the Number 6 Cardinal routed the Wildcats 37-10. Arizona showed fight after trailing 16-10 at the end of the first half. The Wildcats could've taken the lead and the momentum when Foles passed to Juron Criner in the end zone, but a Stanford secondary would ensure the pass wouldn't be caught by committing pass interfence. Jaime Salazar would miss the ensuing field goal and Stanford would run away with the game behind the legs of Stepfan Taylor(235 rushing yards) and the arm of Andrew Luck(325 passing yards). The Cardinal will likely move to No. 5 after the Noles lost to OU. Arizona head coach Mike Stoops is now on the hot-seat after falling to 1-2 this season.

LSU's offense was effient as Spencer Ware rushed for 107 yards and Jarrett Lee led the Toger offense down the field to put up 10 points in the 4th quarter and put the game out of reach.
