9/15/11 Podcast: Week One NFL Recap

The NFL season officially arrived this past weekend and it got off to an explosive start. In week one, quarterbacks threw for a total of 7,842 yards - a new NFL record. That number is even more impressive when you consider Minnesota Vikings QB Donovan McNabb passed for 39 yards.

Three players threw for over 400 yards (Drew Brees, Cam  Newton and Chad Henne) and one threw for over 500 yards (Tom Brady). It was a wild week and it's only going to get better.
