Matt Hasselbeck is the recipient of this week's Samsung game ball of the week. Hasselbeck was awesome on Sunday throwing for 311 yards and 2 touchdowns. He found 11 different open receivers during the game.

The only thing that makes me feel better about Kenny Britt's injury is that the Titans have a quarterback this year who is competent enough to lead an offense without him on the field. He already spreads the ball around, and he will get the most he can out of the cast of receivers he has left.

How smart does Mike Reinfeldt look right now for pursuing Hasselbeck? There was a lot of debate early on about how good he would be in this offense, but so far he looks like the perfect fit for what Mike Munchak and Chris Palmer want to do on offense. I seriously doubt Kerry Collins would be putting up these numbers here.
