What does this tell you?
Marquand Manuel's interception Sunday was his first in 62 NFL regular-season games, including 23 starts. Manuel had one in the post-season for Seattle last year, but his career interception total should tell you all you need to know about his ball skills.

Setting the tone
On wide receiver Greg Jennings' 75-yard touchdown reception, 70 of the yards came after the catch. And from that point forward, the Packers never trailed. That completely changes the complexion of a game and the approach that a coach and quarterback can take.

Wins & picks
Anybody notice that Carson Palmer, Matt Hasselbeck and Rex Grossman threw a combined seven interceptions Sunday, but their teams all won? Palmer threw two as Cincinnati beat Pittsburgh, 28-20; Hasselbeck threw three in Seattle's 42-30 victory over the New York Giants; and Grossman threw two as Chicago edged Minnesota, 19-16.
Just goes to show that good teams can overcome interceptions. That their quarterbacks don't have to be perfect every week for them to win.
