The roll call of top passers on Sunday was a veritable who's who of the NFL's elite QB class: Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Donovan McNabb, Brett Favre, Eli Manning, Rex Grossman, … wait, Rex Grossman? For the second consecutive week, the Rex effect was hitting on all cylinders, producing 289 passing yards and 4 TDs in a dismantling of a Detroit defense that everyone was lauding after it held Seattle to nine points in the opener.

After two weeks, Grossman ranks first in the league in passing TDs and fifth in passing yards – this from a guy that everyone, save the Chicago coaching staff, wanted benched in favor of Brian Griese during the preseason. Now, it can certainly be argued that the Bears haven't faced the stiffest of competition yet (Green Bay and Detroit), but, to be honest, they don't face that many pass-tough defenses moving forward, either.
