Normally in the Monday column, we quickly review the injuries with fantasy significance from the prior day's games. There really weren't many of those on Sunday, though. So instead, we'll begin by trying to answer the largest question confronting the NFL:

What the heck is Bill Belichick doing?

The issue isn't whether or not he's running up the score – of course he is. The issue is what he's trying to achieve. Is Belichick just a creepy moral relativist and an unfeeling super-genius? Or is he something else? Maybe he's just a fantasy owner who drafted Wes Welker in all of his leagues, and Laurence Maroney in none.

It's not just Belichick's decision to go for it on fourth down deep in Washington territory with 11 minutes left, ahead 38-0. And it's not just the decision to go for it on fourth-and-two with 7:16 remaining, leading 45-0. Nor is it the decision to return Tom Brady to the field in the fourth quarter of the previous week's 49-28 victory over winless Miami.

No, if you've been

"It's 13-nil," said my friend Dave, an American living in London. He was calling from Wembley early in the third quarter of the Giants-Dolphins game.

"I'll give you the highlights," he said over significant background cheering. "Miami (stinks), which you know. New York (stinks) a little less … It's raining. Lots of rain. And the roof is open … Among fans who care, the crowd is probably 70-30 for the Giants … Tough to find a hot dog … No updates on Liverpool-Arsenal … Miami brought cheerleaders. There's maybe 60 of them."

He paused.

"They're everywhere."

"Would it be safe to say that these are the 60 hottest women in England right now?"

Longer pause.

"If you print that, I won't argue."

In my correspondent's estimation, the stubborn ebullience of the Dolphins cheerleading squad was the highlight of New York's 13-10 win. He seemed to think that Ted Ginn Jr.'s late touchdown upset an overwhelming majority of English bettors.

It probably decided a few fantasy match-ups, too. The most

Monday is inevitably a day of anxious injury tracking. If you're a Ronnie Brown owner, there's just no way to focus on your job at the moment. You really have to wonder what the net impact of fantasy football is on workplace productivity, don't you? Brandon Funston alone probably costs U.S. businesses over a billion dollars a year.

Sunday was another cruel day, injury-wise. Here are the tweaks, aggravations and sprains that we'll be monitoring all week …

Ronnie Brown, knee
Quick, can you name all the running backs who've outscored Ronnie Brown this season in fantasy leagues?

The answer, of course, is nobody. Not LaDainian Tomlinson, not Larry Johnson, not Adrian Peterson … nobody. Brown's 125 fantasy points lead all running backs. He was injured while trying to make a tackle on an interception return in the second half of a 42-7 game. "I didn't feel anything pop and I just got it twisted up," he later told reporters. Fears of an ACL injury were expressed following the game, however.

At times, it's like Randy Moss is playing in a low-resolution video game, where the football seems to travel through defensive players before it's caught. The highlights defy interpretation. And logic. And the standard model of physics.

Early in the second quarter against Miami, Tom Brady threw something that looked like the pass Jim Harbaugh threw at the end of the 1995 AFC Championship game. Just a big heave into coverage, high and toward the goal-line. If that's Deion Branch or David Patten or Troy Brown on the other end, it's a silly pass.

But Randy Moss isn't like those guys.

The Dolphins defensive backs covered him as well as they're legally allowed to. Unless they had access to shovels and pepper spray, there was nothing left to do. Moss was sandwiched. He still came down with the ball and a 35-yard touchdown. Watching the replay, CBS' Dan Dierdorf said, "That was strictly a case of, 'I want it more than you do.'"

Um … no. That was a case of, "I have a 48-inch vertical and

If Matt Hasselbeck had actually been crushed by that giant overhead TV camera that fell on Sunday night, the Monday Injury Rundown would be much more interesting. And we'd recommend that you add Seneca Wallace.

Instead, Week 6 wasn't quite as disastrous as the past few Sundays for most of you, injury-wise. But if it's Monday, an Arizona quarterback must be either injured, despondent or both …

Kurt Warner, elbow
This looked awful. Julius Peppers fell directly onto Warner's left elbow while the two players were pursuing a fumble, and the Cardinals QB reportedly tore ligaments. According to Michael Silver, Warner wrote in an email to friends and family that "he believed that through the power of prayer he would be miraculously healed before undergoing the exam."

This sort of thing worked for Jon Kitna in Week 2. But just in case, you might scan the waiver wire. The 39.8 percent-owned Jeff Garcia (at Detroit) and 2.0 percent-owned Damon Huard (at Oakland) both have reasonably good Week 7

Late in the first half at Soldier Field, the Minnesota Vikings had the ball at their own 33. It was second and 10. Chester Taylor had just been stuffed on first down. The Chicago Bears led 14-7.

Then Adrian Peterson took a handoff from Tarvaris Jackson and ran left.

He cut at the line and exploded up field. Brandon McGowan had both arms around Peterson's left leg at the 45, but the rookie shrugged off the tackle. He made an obscene cut at the 50, causing Adam Archuleta to lose his footing and skid away. Another cut turned Charles Tillman around. Peterson veered toward the right sideline, switching the ball to his right hand. He then found himself in a footrace with Tillman and Brian Urlacher.

Peterson won.

Touchdown, Minnesota.

There may not be five running backs in the NFL with the combination of skills necessary to make that run. In fact, it's possible there aren't two.

The 67-yard TD wasn't the only play where Peterson outsprinted Tillman, either. He did the same on a 73-yard

For too long, Trent Green has been viciously attacking people with his face. Last season it was Robert Geathers. This year it's Travis Johnson. The Houston defensive tackle has bravely chosen to speak out against Green's aggression:

"At 12:01, I had a lot of respect for Trent Green. At about 12:20, I said (expletive) Trent Green."

At about 12:20 on Sunday, Green suffered a concussion attempting to block Johnson on a completely chaotic play. While Green was motionless and unconscious, Johnson left us with this heroic image. If the NFL gives out a sportsmanship award, someone should really sculpt that scene for the trophy.

Green will likely miss several weeks after sustaining his second serious concussion within the past 13 months. "When I saw him down on the field," Ronnie Brown told the Miami Herald, "I just started to pray." And Travis Johnson started to taunt. We all deal with adversity in our own way.

Cleo Lemon will likely start for the Dolphins in Week 6, and keeper candidate John
