Heeeere's Johnny!!!

Okay, so maybe it wasn't just that he was running up video game totals against Division II opponents. Johnny Knox can play.

In his home debut for the Chicago Bears and just his second NFL game ever, the former ACU WR scored his first career touchdown - a game-tying score in the closing minutes, no less, and against the defending Super Bowl Champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears went on to beat the Steelers, 17-14, to even their record at 1-1.

Knox finished with 6 catches, the first of which he stretched out to catch to keep a drive going, for a total of 70 yards and that TD. Besides the passes thrown by Jay Cutler, Knox also caught the attention of the Chicago press.

His fellow former Wildcat, starting FS Danieal Manning, tied for the Bears' team lead in tackles with 8.

Bernard Scott didn't see a lot more playing time in his second game for Cincinnati, but the second of his two carries in Green Bay was a big one: a 6-yard scoot on 3rd and 2 to keep the Bengals driving and the ball away from the Packers. Cincy hung on for a 31-24 victory to even its record at 1-1.

It's a bit surreal to see guys whose exploits I had the pleasure and challenge of trying to somehow describe on the ACU radio broadcasts play at Lambeau Field and lead one of the NFL's storied franchises to victory over a world champion.

We'll always have Portales.
