I will talk about three games that happened earlier today.
The first game will be the Steelers vs. Falcons game. The Steelers kicked a field goal in the first quarter to take the lead, 3-0. Then the Falcons responded in the second quarter with one of their own field goals. The Steelers marched down the field and kicked another field goal to take the lead,6-3 in the third quarter. The Falcons kicked another two field goals while the Steelers only kicked another one to tie it in the forth quarter at 9. The Steelers had a chance to win it with 40 seconds left on the clock when they lined up for a 40 yard field goal attempt, but the kick went wide right. So the game went into overtime, where RB Rashard Mendenhall ran for a 50 yard touchdown to win the game.

Next up we have the Bengals vs. Patriots game. The Patriots scored a touchdown on their first drive of the day in 2:51. The Patriots defense kept forcing the Bengals to punt the ball. The Patriots kicked a field goal to extend the lead to 10-0. At the end of the first quarter the Patriots lead 10-0. The Patriots scored another touchdown and kicked another field goal before the Bengals drove down field and kicked a field goal to get them on the board. Going into the locker rooms the Patriots were up 24-3. The Bengals kicked the ball off in the second half to Brandon Tate, and I'm sure they are regretting this right now. Brandon returned the kickoff for a 97 yard touchdown extending the lead to 31-3. Now this is where it gets interesting. The Bengal offense picks up its game and scores two touch downs to pull with in two touchdowns at the end of the third quarter. Both the Patriots and the Bengals scored in the fourth quarter to make it a final,
38-24. What's really important about this game is that Wes Welker who had a season ending injury near the end of last season, recovered from surgery and scored 2 touchdowns today.
Finally, since we do live close to these guys I will take about the 49'ers and Seahawks game. The 49'ers kicked an early field goal to take the lead 3-0. The Seahawk's offense looked like it couldn't get going. The 49'ers kicked another field goal to make their lead 6-0 over the Seahawks. Now this is where the Seahawk's started doing business. The Seahawks marched down the field where Matt Hasselbeck capitalized with a 1 yard touchdown run, taking the lead from the 49'ers. The Seahawks scored once more before halftime making their lead now 14-6. QB Alex Smith for the 49'ers was picked off by Marcus Trufant who returned the ball into the end zone for a 32 yard interception return. Deion Branch scored his first touchdown of the season to make the Seahawks lead 28-6 at the end of the third quarter. The Seahawks kicked a field goal to make it 31-6.
Final Scores: Atlanta Falcons 9 Pittsburg Steelers 15
Cincinnati Bengals 24 New England Patriots 34
San Francisco 49'ers 6 Seattle Seahawks 31
Tomorrows games will be thrillers for sure. The Baltimore Ravens face off with the New York Jets at 7:00 East Coast Time. Then the real Monday Night Football begins at 10:15 East Coast Time, when the San Diego Chargers play the Kanas City Chiefs.
