• Panthers at Vikings: Despite having the services of one Adrian Peterson, the Vikes trail Carolina 10-0 thanks to a 43-yard boot from John Kasay plus a rushing TD from Jonathan Stewart.

• Cardinals at Redskins: Clinton Portis has rushed for a touchdown, leading me to wonder how Brian Mitchell feels about things. The 'Skins are up 10-0 in the second quarter.

The Dolphins are leading 10-3 midway through the second quarter, with the saintly Ronnie Brown having rumbled in for two scores. There's a good chance that Tom Brady has yet to get out of bed this afternoon.

• Raiders at Bills: Lane Kiffin will not go down without a fight. His Raiders trail Buffalo by a single point. The Bills' lone TD so far came courtesy of back Marshawn Lynch, who's having himself a nice day so far.

• Bengals at Giants: New York is looking to establish its best start since the turn of the century (when they went 3-0 to kick off the season), but so far, Cincinnati appears to have other ideas. The Bengals lead the defending champs 10-7 midway through the second quarter.
