Brady finally looks comfortable with his receivers and is back to terrorizing the opposition with security blanket .

If not for a mercy decision to stop throwing the football, Roethlisberger would have shattered Norm Van Brocklin's long-standing single-game record.Roethlisberger spread the ball to nine receivers, sending and both over the 100-yard mark and generally looking like a man playing against boys. It's odd that we sometimes overlook Roethlisberger's casual greatne s, rarely placing him in the same category as Brady, Manning and Rodgers. Roethlisberger absolutely belongs in any conversation about the game's top signal-callers.The have rightfully earned , but the performances of the and -- led by their future quarterbacks -- allows a reminder that won't have an easy return trip to the .Here's what else you need to know from Week 8:The need to stop jerking around and start treating him like one of the NFL's top tailbacks. Ingram has looked dynamite . Even after getting shut down in Detroit last week, Ingram is averaging a sterling 5.7 yards per carry on the season. Going back to the end of last season, he has the same average of his last 102 carries.We finally got a glimpse of the explosive offense we expected the to unveil this season. hit and ; in the red zone; and Ingram  Jason Sanders Jersey ran like a man po se sed. Brees was 11-of-11 pa sing with three touchdowns in the second half. This was easily his best performance of the season, a promising sign going forward.' 203 first-quarter yards were the most in any quarter of his career. He's now 31 of 37 (84 percent) in his last five first quarters. The ' second-half collapse coincided with for their star quarterback.

Rodgers still finished with his fourth career 400-yard game.-- Chris We selingThis was a tale of two halves. and the owned the first two quarters, overpowering Detroit's top-ranked defense to forge a 21-0 lead at the break over the sleepy . was pristine out of the gate, standing strong in the pocket to complete 14 of his first 17 pa ses to seven different targets for 160 yards and two scores. The attack slowed to a halt from there, while the ' defense crumbled to allow 22 unanswered points, capped by 's as time expired.That game-winning boot didn't come without plenty of drama as Prater's first attempt from 43 yards was wide -- but saved by a delay of game flag on Detroit. With another try, Prater was money.Acro s the way, was a me s for two-plus quarters before drawing Detroit back into the game with five straight scoring drives. His pretty to in the third quarter gave Stafford 119 career touchdowns with the , snapping Bobby Layne's ancient franchise record. Without , and his top three tight ends, though, Stafford threw a slew of ugly pa ses and made plenty of head-scratching decisions. His ball placement can make life tough for Detroit's wideouts, but give Stafford credit: He did enough to give the life.-- Marc Se slerThis was an ugly win for the , as they played a sloppy game on both sides of the ball. The offense had multiple turnovers for the first time all season. dropped an end-zone pa s that was at the end of the first half. mi sed a pair of throws to tight end , both of which would have gone for touchdowns. The defense dropped interceptions and flubbed fumble opportunities. The champions are fortunate to be sporting a winning record. had his most impre sive game in two seasons. The offensive line didn't give him much room to operate, but he broke tackles and finished with the most yards by a running back this year. is averaging more yards per carry (4.3 to 4.2) than last year, but the aren't feeding him. He's averaging under 16 rushes per game compared to 20 over the past seasons. Citing sources close to the running back, NFL Media columnist Michael Silver reported on NFL GameDay Morning that Lynch harbors ill feelings toward coach from his training camp holdout and offseason proclamations about a reduced workload.-- Chris We selingOn the , we propped up Baltimore (5-3) as the cla s of the AFC North. Not so fast. The (4-2-1) on Sunday completed a season sweep of the with an imperfect  Bob Griese Jersey but gritty triumph that boiled down to one big play: With 47 seconds left and the Jerome Baker Jersey  down 27-24, appeared to fling an to . The veteran wideout, though, was flagged for offensive pa s interference, putting the would-be comeback on ice.The still mi s , but the offense was better than last week. After just against the , and friends opened the game with an authoritative 80-yard touchdown march and pieced together three scoring drives in the second half. Dalton, though, appeared to hand the tilt away in the fourth when he lost the ball on a strip-sack that took 39 yards to the Cincinnati 8.

Little did we know 10 more points would be scored.Two weeks removed from his 10-catch, 120-yard outburst against the , put on another show with five catches for 125 yards off a team-leading nine targets. He showed off his moves with a 48-yard grab on Cincy's opening scoring march before helping to set up the team's second touchdown with a 26-yard end around.
