And it begins again...
 Just trudging right along..
Brett Favre adds to his accolades in Green Bay, as he gets his 149th win as a starting quarterback in the NFL, and is now only 3 touchdowns away from breaking the "hallowed" record of touchdown passes.
But while Favre moves on, a few other quarterbacks worry about their future, as Trent Green has to be contining to look over his shoulder at John Beck in Miami, and with the signing of Byron Leftwich in Atlanta, Joey Harrington has to realize the hook is coming for the lowest scoring team in the league.
And while a lot of people would have guessed that Carson Palmer could put up a 6 touchdown performance, everyone is asking "Just who is Derek Anderson"? Of course, now everyone will be watching to see if he can repeat the "Battle of Ohio" performance.
And thanks to Derek Anderson and some abysmal perfomances elsewhere in the AFC, the Browns get off the bottom of the FH.com power rankings for week 2.
