The Cowboys dramatic comeback win over the Falcons, the Chiefs escaping LA with an overtime win, and the Seahawks goal line stand at the last second against the Patriots. Wow.

Nonetheless, I've watched the film, and saw where I went wrong in Week 1. It's time for a bounce back week, and get that Predix record up!  Week 2 promises to be another great
