NFL Season 2013
The first four weeks of this NFL season has been nothing short of exciting. Stocked with great games, injuries on and off the turf, some hot tempers and finger pointing, this season is setting up to keep fans and audiences on the edges of their seats.
Kicking off with the first game between the Ravens and the Broncos, the Broncs blew up that game winning by almost double. Winning the 'Funday Sunday' line up was the Pats, Seahawks, Lions, Chiefs, Jets, 49ers, Cowboys, Dolphins, Bears, Colts, Saints, Titans and the Rams. Eagles and Texans took the games Monday night.

Week 2 was a hot week with wins by Pats, Bills, Bears, Packers, Dolphins, Falcons, Saints, Raiders, Bengals, Chiefs, Ravens, Texans, Chargers, Cardinals, Broncos and Seahawks.
Week 3 on the other hand, even though it was filled with solid games, it was an interesting week outside of the games. Winners for the week were the Chiefs, Ravens, Panthers, Cowboys, Patriots, Titans, Jets, Seahawks, Broncos, Browns, Bengals, Lions, Saints, Dolphins, Colts and the Bears but there was a lot of action going on and off the AstroTurf between the players or their vehicles. The morning of September 24th started off with no shortage of NFL buzz.
Detroit Lions wide receiver, Nate Burleson, made small headlines when he was in a one-vehicle crash on Sept. 20. He broke his arm in two places when his car hit a median. Surgery was scheduled for Wednesday morning. Burleson was injured trying to prevent two pizza boxes from sliding off the passenger seat before he hit the median. However, Burleson's accident wasn't the only NFL news that morning.

After suffering a loss, a few of the Buffalo Bills started blaming EJ Manuel, rookie quarterback for the hit. Reeling off a solid win in week 2, many of the players passed the blame onto their younger counterpart, making it seem as though he didn't put as much effort into the week 3 game, but avoided to look at the way they played themselves.
Manuel got sacked eight times during the game, leaving one of wonder what happened to the O-line. There was a lag and slowness in the offence, letting Jets defence get to the player a number of times. Manuel stayed away from the middle to avoid getting hit again and it showed in the score. Coach Doug Marrone, first year Bills coach is reflecting on how things went on in last Sunday's game and knows where the teams needs to improve.
Coming out of some tense practices, Bills are expected to improve their offence. Fans will be glued to the TV sets this coming Funday to find out which of their teams has taken the wins, hopefully again.
