Player of the Week — Antowain Smith: 26 points
Nibsism of the Week I, II and III — We’ve come to expect a Nibsism nearly every week from Nibs, but how about 3 of them? Yes indeed … he started 3 players who were on bye weeks: Brian Griese, Mike Anderson (both Broncos) and Deuce McAllister (Saints).
Nibsism of the Week IV — We haven’t come to expect a Nibsism from our illustrious lawyer friend in the Pacific Northwest, but the Big Bang started a bye week player as well: Broncos WR Rod Smith.
