What a crazy weekend for the top ranked teams.

New Mexico Lobos 34 New Mexico State Aggies 20
This is the biggest rivalry in New Mexico. For those who don't know, the Lobos play in Albuquerque and the Aggies play in Las Cruces. Santa Fe doesn't have a university nor a football team. Otherwise, the Lobos beat the Aggies for the 6th straight time. Boo-yeah!!

Steelers 6 Eagles 15

This was a tough game to watch. In summary, the Eagles defense dominated the Steelers offense, recording 9 sacks and beating the crap out of Ben Roethlisberger.

Week 1 - Steelers 38 Texans 17 

This was a dominate game by the Steelers in all phases (including halftime shows with country legend Charlie Daniels).

He only had 2 TDs all of last season. 2nd year linebacker from Michigan, Lamar Woodley had a sack and his first INT. James "Silverback" Harrison added 3 sacks and a forced fumble and an INT from Troy Polamalu.  Here's a funny photo of Troy and Hines Ward joking while Big Ben talks to the announcers:
