To be the champs you must beat the champs. 1-0
Here we go Steelers! Here we go!

>Given all the preseason predictions here, all the chest thumping, I thought there might be something about the NFL's opening weekend. Apparently not, at least not in this section. It seems not to have been noticed that the Chiefs, for whom great things were predicted in this space, lost their home opener. Or that the Broncos, for whom even greater destinies were foretold, lost to the Lambs. Can our fearless swamis possibly be tongue tied?!

>For me the best moment of opening Sunday, by far (even ahead of the Bears throttling the Packers 26-0 at Lambeau), occurred in last night's game between the Giants and the Colts. With the game being in New York on the eve of September 11, there were understandably many references to the anniversary. Ironically, the best moment was an unscripted one. Giants tight end Jeremy Shockey caught a touchdown pass in the front corner of the end zone and kept running to a cluster of policemen behind the field, on the grass but out of the playing area. He handed one of them the football, gave him a bear hug, and ran back to the field. Beautiful.
