HOT: Thad Lewis

Came off the practice squad to throw for 216 yards and two TDs (he ran for one as well) in 27--24 OT loss to the Bengals. Most popular guy in town no longer second-string QB.

HOT: Kansas City

Chiefs move to 6--0 as Arrowhead crowd sets stadium noise record of 137.5 decibels. Your move, Seattle.

NOT: Chris Kaman

NOT: Redskins

NOT: Eye Sore
