"Shazam!"

Do you remember how Gomer Pyle used to cheerfully declare, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"?Well, that was the voice I heard again and again this past Sunday as I was watching the Week Six NFL action unfold.

I was so surprised by what I saw!

I was surprised that the Giants were beaten by more points (21) than the Browns (13).

I was surprised that the lowly Bills went into New York and upset the Jets.

I was not surprised that the Patriots beat the Titans, but I was astonished that they made it look like a pro team playing a high school team. 59-0! Have they no pride left in Tennessee? What happened to the team that started 2008 10-0 and ended at 13-3?! That's really one of the most amazing stories of this NFL season.

I was likewise amazed that the Redskins let the winless Chiefs come in and beat them at home. Wow, how ugly is that situation in Washington?

I was surprised that the Broncos stayed perfect on the road against a Charger team that needed the game more.

I was surprised that the Bengals lost at home to the Texans -- and then to read later that Houston QB Matt Schaub leads the NFL in TD passes! (There's a trivia question that you could win a few dollars with right now, with Tom Brady and Drew Brees being everyone's natural guesses.)

I was surprised that the Seahawks, who had just obliterated the Jaguars 41-0 the week before, would get so badly beaten at home by the Cardinals.

And I was stunned that the Eagles lost to the Raiders. Good teams don't lose that game.

So, what to make of the 2009 NFL? The Jets and Ravens both burst out of the gates with 3-0 records and grabbed their division leads, only to lose three consecutive games, dropping to .500 and forfeiting their leads. The Saints are crazy good, the Titans are crazy bad, and Brett Favre is 6-0 for the first time in his looooong career.

Shazam!
