Week 1 surprises

September 12, 2008 at 3:25AM

1 Panthers

Carolina stunned the Chargers in San Diego and could be heading to Minny 2-0 after Sunday.

2 Bears

Our No. 2 surprise visits our No. 1 surprise after manhandling a rusty Colts team at Indy.

3 Bills

Yes, Buffalo still has a team. No, Jim Kelly retired. Yes, the Bills freakin' crushed the Seahawks.

4 Titans

Is it me or did Vince Young just suffer the most well-timed knee injury in NFL history?

5 Patriots

It might not happen often, but New England did win one without Tom Brady (right).
