Dallas owner, Jerry Jones, complained about the Giants faking injuries in order to slow down the Cowboys offense. Jerry must have been upset because isn't slowing down the Cowboys offense head coach Jason Garrett's job? The NFL set a record in Week 1 by throwing for 63 touchdown passes, the most ever in one week. What makes that record even more impressive is the fact that Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert failed to throw a single touchdown pass between them. Also, Geno Smith, Cam Newton, Christian Ponder, Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden, Josh Freeman, Terrelle Pryor, Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger combined for a total of nine touchdown passes; one from each of them. Can you imagine what the record could have been had every NFL team had an NFL-caliber quarterback? According to NFL media columnist Mike Silver, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez is frustrated with the Jets. Finally, Sanchez gets to walk in the shoes of every Jets' fan. The only difference being Sanchez will get paid $8.25 million for his frustration. S anchez was seen on the field throwing the ball left-handed prior to the Jets-Patriots game Thursday night. He may actually be on to something... Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola could miss anywhere between 2-6 weeks with a groin injury. That noise you hear coming from the New England area is the collective groan of the Patriots' brass getting kicked in the pocket book. Not only does Amendola fail to get through one game without getting hurt but Wes Welker shines in the national spotlight as he goes for 9/67/2 as Peyton Manning connected on nine of 11 targets with his new BFF. Is this another in a long line of karmic payback from Spygate? Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley wrote 'Chiefs suck!' on a napkin, but means no disrespect. Reportedly, this incident happened last Saturday night at a restaurant as Haley signed a napkin for a fan. The the next day the Steelers went on to lose to Tennessee 16-9, while the Chiefs blasted Jacksonville 28-2. I think what Haley meant was that the Chiefs sucked when he was their head coach and now he'll work that same magic as offensive coordinator for the Steelers. And I mean no disrespect when I say that. Steelers' offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey had his knee blown out in Week 1 by his own teammate. Steelers' offensive lineman David DeCastro was attempting to cut-block Titans defensive tackle Sammie Hill when he missed and nailed Pouncey, ending his season. This could ...

Three weeks from today everything shifts to the evaluation of this year's draft and what grades each team should receive. While it is too early to accurately grade any draft the day after its completion, it has always been done that way and, to the benefit of no one, will be done that way again. In the meantime, we'll continue to evaluate the Individual Defensive Player (IDP) ramifications of free agency 2013 as it unfolds, and this week take a gander at the NFC North. Once a division dominated by intimidating defenses, the former "Black and Blue Division" potentially boasts three of the more proficient passing attacks heading into 2013. While Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford and Jay Cutler figure to air it out plenty next season, the division has had more than its share of intriguing defensive free agency action. It's interesting to note that while Detroit and Chicago have been restocking and retooling thus far in free agency, the two teams that made the playoffs in 2012, Minnesota and Green Bay, have been very quiet. DETROIT: The Lions made the most of their scheduled visits as they landed former Houston free safety Glover Quin and Seattle defensive lineman Jason Jones. Both players will have an immediate chance to contribute as they fill positions of need on the Detroit defense. Lions head coach Jim Schwartz is familiar with Jones from their time together in Tennessee, and look for Detroit to utilize the 6-foot-5, 276-pound lineman at both end and tackle. He has 19 career sacks and has shown the ability to bring pressure from both the edge as well as from the interior when healthy. It's the staying healthy part of the equation that has held Jones back from reaching the potential he flashed early in his career. Detroit must hope that the reunion with Schwartz will rejuvenate Jones and he will help to pick up some of the sacks and tackles that they lost with the departure of Kyle Vanden Bosch, Cliff Avril and Sammie Hill. For fantasy purposes, Jones is an interesting name to keep in mind as a player that can put up surprisingly good numbers providing he stays healthy. Jones is not worth drafting in IDP leagues but does warrant keeping an eye on in leagues that require the defensive tackle position as a waiver wire option. Quin will step right in as the starting strong safety in Detroit alongside the returning Louis Delmas, who is slated to play free safety as of now. Wherever Quin ends up in the Lions secondary, fantasy owners can count on him to...
