Instant reactions: Week eight

My reactions from the eighth week of the NFL season. 

Carolina 31, Tampa Bay 13
That Cam Newton kid isn't a bad dual-threat quarterback. In fact, Colin Kaepernick and Russell Wilson, he was the first. 

San Francisco 42, Jacksonville 10
Denver, take note. This is how a good team is supposed to beat the Jaguars. 

New Orleans 35, Buffalo 17
Drew Brees ended this game early. The Bills are undoubtedly missing EJ Manuel. 

New England 27, Miami 17
The Dolphins spent their offseason trying to beat Tom Brady. For one half, it looked like it worked. 

Giants 15, Philadelphia 7
This once-proud rivalry looked more like a Bucs-Jags game. 

Kansas City 23, Cleveland 17
The Browns looked as good as a 3-5 team can against an 8-0 team. It was a good game between two of the AFC's top defenses. 

Detroit 31, Dallas 30
There was not a more exciting final minute of football anywhere this weekend. The Lions only won because Dallas choked in the end, but Matthew Stafford sure had a clutch game. 

Cincinnati 49, Jets 9
The Bengals put on a division champion's performance against a surprisingly decent Jets squad. This could be a signature game in Cincy's America's Game documentary. 

Arizona 27, Atlanta 13
The Cardinals defense crushed Atlanta's will Sunday afternoon. 

Oakland 21, Pittsburgh 18
Oakland should never be counted as an underdog at home against Pittsburgh. 

Denver 45, Washington 21
For three quarters, Denver appeared to be a mortal football team. Suddenly Peyton Manning took charge and the Broncos destroyed Washington late game. 

Night recaps to come.
