Now, the Football Results

It's sad to say, but the People's Pigskin, like the Kansas City Chiefs, is no longer perfect.

The Internet's favorite fantasy football team finally had a bad day, losing to the Fighting Amish by a score of 89-72. Our season record is 4-1, tying us with the Amish for the division lead in the People's League.

You already know about the injuries that sidelined Knowshon Moreno and Darren McFadden. Here are the rest of the gory details.

Peyton Manning, QB: 26 of 44 passing, 244 yards, 1 interception, 3 rushes for minus-3 yards and 7 fantasy points. Yes, his Indianapolis Colts won, but Manning was far less than his usual self.

Michael Turner, RB: 19 rushes, 140 yards and 14 fantasy points. The yardage is a season high, and the stats would look a lot better if they included a touchdown.

Kevin Smith, RB: 3 rushes for 16 yards, 1 reception for 17 yards and 2 fantasy points. Smith did not play a major role in Detroit's whipping of the St. Louis Rams.

Calvin Johnson, WR: 4 receptions, 54 yards, 1 touchdown and 11 fantasy points. It's a good thing Johnson found the end zone when he did. He left the game with a shoulder injury that still has his coach concerned.

Chad Ochocinco, WR: 3 receptions, 20 yards and 2 fantasy points. He was the target when Palmer threw the late interception that allowed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to beat the Cincinnati Bengals.

Dwayne Bowe, Flex: 2 receptions, 33 yards and 3 fantasy points. No bonus points for dropping a pair of passes that get you featured on ESPN's "Come On, Man."

Antonio Gates, TE: 5 receptions, 92 yards, 1 touchdown and 15 fantasy points. If only Gates could protect the punter.

Tennessee Titans, D/ST: 3 interceptions, 6 sacks, 27 points allowed and 11 fantasy points. Only the points allowed kept this from being an epic performance.

Matt Bryant, K: 2 for 3 on field goals, 2 for 2 on extra points and 7 fantasy points. Bryant finds himself second in the NFL in scoring. Not bad for what's normally a throwaway position.

As for the Pigskin, there's no time to feel sorry for ourselves. We have a matchup against cowboys romero this week. That means you need to vote on our lineup polls, which can be found right under the NASCAR ones. Speaking of NASCAR, we'll be back with a look at this week's track.
