The Raiders beat the Chiefs on Sunday, improving their record in the last three years at Arrowhead Stadium to 3-0. (They're 7-24 at all other stadiums.) Darren Sharper recorded the ninth interception return for a touchdown of his career, tying him with Ken Houston, Aeneas Williams and Deion Sanders for the second-most in NFL history (Only Rod Woodson, with 12, had more.)

# Darren Sharper: 9th career pick-6. Only Rod Woodson had more-12. Ken Houston, Aeneas Williams, Deion Sanders also had 9
# Raiders record last three years at Arrowhead Stadium: 3-0. At all other stadiums: 7-24.
# Bengals DE Antwan Odom has 5 sacks today, and 7 through two games. He had 3 sacks all of last year.
# Jake Delhomme intercepted on fourth down and the Falcons are about to beat the Panthers.
# Brady throws incomplete on fourth down and the Jets will beat the Patriots, 16-9.
# Jason Jones of the Titans just got ejected for throwing a punch. What a wild Titans-Texans game.
# I'm sick of @DirecTV screwing up the blackouts, as it's doing right now in Chicago, where I can't watch Bengals-Packers
# Jaguars WR Nate Hughes drops a sure TD pass. Would get booed if any fans remained in Jacksonville.
# Rams fail to capitalize on a gift from the Redskins. Washington will win 9-7.
# Kurt Warner gave way to Matt Leinart after completing 92.3% of his passes today. New NFL record, assuming no more throws
# Fox goes to the blimp cam in Jacksonville, showing the whole stadium -- not even one-fifth full.
# Chad Ochocinco just did the Lambeau Leap. A Packers fan in the front row flipped him the bird and got on TV. Good times.
# Titans' Chris Johnson has 270 scrimmage yards. NFL record is 336 by Flipper Anderson in 1989. http://bit.ly/10Tnnw
# Kurt Warner is 20-of-21 today. Threatening Vinny Testaverde's NFL record for single-game comp % http://bit.ly/8lnyF
# Jets lead Patriots 10-9. This has the feel of about as big a game as it gets in Week 2.
# Hey, Jeff Backus: Don't bother blocking Jared Allen. Totally fine to let him drill Matthew Stafford.
# Cedric Benson has 78 rushing yards already today. Why is he so much better as a Bengal than he was as a Bear?
# Kurt Warner 18-of-19 for 173 yards. Cardinals' O just about perfect other than Beanie Wells fumbling.
# Anquan Boldin with a good catch of a deflected Kurt Warner pass. Everything is going right for the Cardinals' O today.
# Beanie Wells was a fumbler at Ohio State. He's still a fumbler with the Cardinals. Two fumbles today.
# Andre Johnson has 111 yards, and the second quarter just started. Remember: Matt Millen chose Charles Rogers over him.
# Former Mr Irrelevant, Rams LB David Vobora, beaten in coverage on pass to Mike Sellers. Bailed out when Sellers drops it
# Antrel Rolle returns a blocked FG for a TD. One of the most exciting players in the NFL with the ball in his hands.
# Brady to Moss, Revis intercepts. If Moss would have tried as hard on the route as he did on the tackle, he wouldn't have had to make it.
# Reggie Bush casually jogged out of the backfield while Drew Brees got drilled.Didn't block or turn to see if Brees needed him as a checkdown
# Next I'll compare Edelman and Welker to Ricky Proehl and say they make up for lack of speed with route-running, hands, hustle & intelligence
# Not to be one of those people who thinks all white WRs are the same, but Julian Edelman really does play like Wes Welker for the Pats.
# Maurice Jones-Drew's stiff-arm of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was the best hyphenated-name stiff-arm of all-time.
# Chris Johnson runs for 57-yd TD on 3rd&19. Kind of play call everyone rips if he gets tackled after 5 yards.
# Cardinals' offense looks good on first drive vs. Jaguars. They're up 7-0. Kevin Kolb also looks good, Eagles-Saints 7-7.
# Chad Ochocinco catches a pass, gets loudly booed at Lambeau Field. I'd cheer Chad. He makes the NFL more fun.
# Fox guys debating: Is LT running out of gas? Of course he is. A 30-year-old RB whose production has steadily declined.
# Does soon-to-be 38-year-old Pats WR Joey Galloway still have it? I have my doubts. We'll see today with Wes Welker out.
# McNabb out, Vick suspended, Kolb #1, Garcia #2. Injuries to both? DeSean Jackson/Brian Westbrook wildcat fun in Philly.

Jones-Drew's run was sick. That guy is awesome.
