Upon further review...
Here's a look back at the highlights and lowlights of Week 4 in the NFL:
* The Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts look like the teams to beat in their respective conferences. But the Baltimore Ravens look pretty scary when you consider Steve McNair is still adjusting to a new offense and players. He's had his struggles, but McNair has come through leading clutch drives in the past two games. Only one concern: The Ravens have beaten the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3), the Oakland Raiders (0-3) and the Cleveland Browns (1-3). The Chargers, though, were 2-0 heading into Sunday.
* Think Donovan McNabb misses T.O.? He is the third-rated passer in the NFL, with a passer rating of 106.0. He also has a league-high nine touchdown passes. Can't wait for T.O.'s return to Philly.
* Former Gopher Laurence Maroney was one of the stars of the weekend, with 125 rushing yards on 15 carries. Did you see his 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter? He ran through at least four tackles. There are a lot of teams that probably wished they had taken him before the 21st pick. Could the Vikings be one?
* Tennessee's Albert Haynesworth did one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in sports. And I think it's truly telling of his character. Maybe he can be forgiven. But stomp on Dallas center Andre Gurode's helmetless head a second time and it's inexcusable.
Five games was too lenient.
* Proof that great running backs are only as good as their offensive line: Edgerrin James has yet to top 100 yards in a game, and he had 20 carries for 41 yards Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons.
* Finally, a closing comment from someone I greatly respect, SI's Peter King, among his I think, I think points: "Minnesota falling a couple of smart Brad Johnson completions short of winning in Buffalo."

Yes, Williamson does need to do a better job of making the catches. He should have had Johnson's duck down the left sideline.
