But during the week, his attitude was out of control. After complaining about not receiving the ball enough to the media, he then said he should be traded to Dallas. Apparently his negative energy was all the Bengals needed to get rid of so they could get on track. His backup, former Auburn star Rudi Johnson, totaled 117 yards and a touchdown.

Another team that managed a big-time upset was the Arizona Cardinals. They took the San Francisco 49ers to overtime and eventually came out victorious, 16-13. As the Guru noted last Thursday, Marcel Shipp is a big upgrade over raggedy old Emmitt Smith. And in his second game since replacing Smith, he carred the ball 35 times for 165 yards. The Cards sure needed every one of those yards as Jeff Blake only threw for 97 yards.

Since we are on the subject of sorry teams, lets keep it going.

As the Chicago Bears edged the Detroit Lions, 24-16, they unknowingly made the Guru 2-0 when picking the Bears to win their games. Leading the way was Chris Chandler's 207 yards and a touchdown. Surprisingly enough, Brian Urlacher only had four tackles on the day. But hey, it's not like he really needs to prove himself on the field now that he has Paris Hilton on the roster.
