Another ridiculous day in the NFL with plenty of upsets, touchdowns and interceptions. Biggest shock of the day? The fact that I’ve just worked out that I haven’t bought a new pair of pants in several years. I had a lot of time to think this weekend.

Story that took the World by Storm

Alright alright, keep your hair on, I’ll mention several candidates. I never talk about the Titans in a positive light so I’ll give them a shout out- they won to move to 6-0, not too shabby. The Bills beat the Chargers easily to move to 5-1, the Vikings and Bears shared 89 points in their game, the Packers battered the Colts and the Panthers hammered the Saints.

However, we all know what we’re going to talk about here, and that’s the Rams absolutely decimating the Cowboys in St. Louis. I’ve got absolutely no idea what’s happened to the Rams, but they look like a decent side all of a sudden.

However, as is always the case when Dallas are involved, a lot of attention will be showered upon the Texan team and Brad Johnson in particular (who threw three interceptions for the Cowboys) rather than the abilities of St. Louis and their running back Steven Jackson. With the Giants going to 5-1, a 4-3 record is looking decidedly dodgy for Cowboys fans who should now be genuinely worried about whether or not their team will make the playoffs.

But this game is not the biggest issue in this edition of the Fumble. No, the story of the week is the fact that I have lost the capacity to sneeze. It’s extremely frustrating. My nose is as blocked as my arteries will be if I continue to eat so much pizza, yet I cannot sneeze. I have that annoying tingly feeling the whole time and I can’t get rid of it, it’s really stressing me out!

Game of the Weekend

Vikings 41-48 Bears

When there is a game with 89 points involved and it is close, it’s highly likely to be given the game of the weekend award, and this column is not about to go all loopy on you and change that trend.

Hilarious special teams play, loads of interceptions and some fantastic running from Adrian Peterson, it’s well worth checking out here.

Play of the Day

For me, Lee Evans' one handed catch for the Bills showed outstanding athleticism and showed once again what a great receiver the man is becoming. Watch the video, go and make you tea or mocha bocha tocca latte or whatever those things are called, then come back and watch it again. Brilliant stuff.

Awards Section:

-Team:The St. Louis Rams or the Panthers might well have won this award were it not for the fact that the Titans have won once again and deserve some respect from me at last. Yes, it’s true, I annihilated them and their prospects for this season in my pre-season analysis, but I’m now ready to accept that I saw the situation (slightly) wrong. A fantastic running game, a ridiculously strong pass rush and a DL that barely allows for any yards on the ground makes up for their lack of aerial threat.

-Player:Plenty of great running back performances, and Clinton Portis, Steven Jackson, Thomas Jones and LenDale White all played like men possessed by the opportunity to take this award.

I don't usually base this award on stats, but I was incredibly impressed by Jeff Garcia last night. For a guy who looks as though he'll be moving into a care home for the elderly any day soon, to complete 27 of 36 pass attempts for 310 yards and a TD is incredibly impressive.

-Coach:I hate to give this award to the same man two weeks in a row, but what an unbelievable difference Jim Haslett has made. His side was incredibly well drilled against the Cowboys, played some great D and looked as though they were actually enjoying themselves playing the game. Looks like Haslett doesn’t need one of my infamous inspirational phone calls.

-Rookie:No doubt about it this week. Chris Johnson was absolutely flawless for the Titans, with 18 attempts on the ground for a massive 168 yards, an average gain of 9.3 yards and a TD. Johnson really looks like the pick of the draft (along with Matt Ryan) on the offensive side of things. He’s averaged 5.3 yards per run so far this season, and it’s not surprising that Titans fans are worshipping the East Carolina rookie. Well, I assume they are anyway.

Tim’s Favourite/Most Amusing/Most Interesting Moments of the 9-Hour Marathon :

1.I know it’s been said time and time again, but this whole ‘World Champion’ malarkey is slightly ridiculous. If you win the Super Bowl, you’re NFL champions, not world champions. I feel like I’m a giant douche for being annoyed by this

2.It was sunny in LA on an October afternoon. We won’t see the sunshine again until April. Fair?

3.Someone said last week I should take the Panthers more seriously. They’re correct, and I do now. Huge win over the Saints.

4.11 punts and no score in the first half of the game between the Browns and the Redskins (first time since 1981 for Washington). Eyes… so…. Sore…

5.Blimey, what on earth has happened to the Rams?!

6.Reggie Bush missing the Wembley game, very annoying. I know he’s not an every down back but he’s played well this season, would have been good to see him in London.

7.89 points in the game between the Vikings and the Bears! Well cut my hair and call me Brad Pitt, I didn’t see that one coming.

8.Lovely block from Brett Favre to help his RB in the 4th quarter against the Raiders. I love that guy.

9.Razor blades are so cheap in the States! The ads for them taunt me. I regularly refuse to wet shave due to the price of blades in the UK. Do the same, we can start a revolution!

10.There’s ‘good’ Eli and ‘evil’ Eli. What the hell was yesterday’s Eli?!

11.Seattle are 1-5, who saw that one coming? Very disappointing considering the coach is leaving at the end of the season.

12.The Panthers look outstanding and absolutely battered the Saints. Is the match up between the Chargers and New Orleans what we hoped it would be? I didn't see either side having a losing record at this stage of the season when I made my predictions.

13.Great work by Aaron Rodgers. I feel like his father; I'm so proud of him.

Players most likely to need some TLC

I thought Brett Favre looked as though he might not speak to anyone ever again after his Jets team lost to the Raiders. Having driven the team magnificently down the field (have a look at the last New York drive of regular time if you can), seen a 52 yard field goal made by Jay Feeley with eight seconds to go AND then winning the toss to gain possession in overtime, it's not surprising that he walked off the field like a man who'd just learnt his wife wouldn't be making sausages and mash for dinner. Horrible.

Giant douche award

I don’t care that the Raiders won the game. Mr. Tom Cable, next time you’re about to win your first ever game as an NFL coach, don’t try and psyche out a kicker who is attempting a 52 yard field-goal with only eight seconds to go. Reasons why? A) There’s a good chance the kick will be missed, B) it doesn’t really psyche anyone out and C) because you will look like an enormous douche if the kick is missed on the first attempt but made on the second. Tom, you are guilty of a ridiculous crime, and for that reason you are this column’s 7th Giant Douche.

The Raiders 8-8 Prediction Watch

2100: I’m not sure why, but going against ever instinct in my soul my heart tells me that the Raiders will win today…

2230: Looking OK, 3-3 and Russell throwing relatively well… this really is an incredibly boring game, I might gauge my eyes out in a minute.

2342: 10-10 with seven minutes left… I spell trouble….

2351: Three minutes to go, 13-10 to the Raiders…

0009: Alright, ultimate cluchibility from Jay Feeley to make a 52 yard field-goal with eight seconds remaining, but see Giant Douche Award for why I currently feel like ripping my hair out and rubbing it in Tom Cables face.

0042: They won. They actually won. 16-13 to the Raiders after one of the worst periods of overtime I have ever seen, their kicker sealed it with an enormous field goal after about 50 possessions each. It’s weird, although I want my prediction to come true, I actually don’t particularly like Oakland, so each victory (all two of them) is mildly painful.

The Raiders in 2008: 2-4.

I’m a great Fantasy Football player!

Is Brandon Jacobs the best pick I made in the draft? Considering some of the horrors I took, perhaps it’s not a big surprise to say ‘yes’. The big man sorted me out once again, and I’ve taken another easy victory even without Tony Romo. I’ve won four on the trot now and look pretty unstoppable. I provide tips at a price, give me a ring on 0845 50 50 50.

Calorie Meter

A day (not just evening) full of beers, pizza and soup. No, you haven’t suddenly gone barmy, I said soup. You see, I’ve got a horrible cold, and at about 2230 I realised that it was probably a bad idea not to eat any vegetables or anything remotely good for me. I ate some tomato soup and felt… dirty. I still do. I showered twice to try and remove the feeling of filth in my body but it didn’t work. If only I’d eaten the sausages in my fridge! Still well over 1500 due to a fat pizza, but it could have been so much more.

Girlfriend Annoyance Rating (GAR)

By default, it’s a 0/10. My beloved is away on a work trip, leaving me to enjoy the football with no possibility of being looked to for an intelligent comment. Strange times in the Love household, and I'm not altogether comfortable with the situation. I feel like a lost dog who's woken up on the wrong side of town. What am I to do?

Monday Night Football Prediction

What's the point in dwelling about the past? Sure, I might have predicted that the Giants would win 27-15, but what's a bit of bad luck between friends? You all know you can still count on me for a great tip before you go down to your local bookie. 2008 total: 4-3. (Does anyone ever actually go to betting shops anymore? I'm pretty sure most people bet online. What an incredibly boring discussion I'm having with myself here.)

Broncos Vs Patriots: I'm really looking forward to this game as I love how Denver play. I think it will be pretty close, with two teams who struggle against the pass facing each other. A high scoring affair with New England edging the game 34-27. Let the good times roll.

Another Fumble has been completed, and we're now only seven days away from a day out at Wembley as the NFL returns to the UK. I'm so excited that I might sneeze... if only. Thoughts on week seven?
