Ben Roethlisberger, Knowshon Moreno and Darren McFadden: Hot Sunday Trends

Ben Roethlisberger, Knowshon Moreno and Darren McFadden are trending high as the early games progress in Week 6 of the NFL.

There's been a lot of action, but let's look at what people are keying in on with their Internet searches.

Of the early games, Roethlisberger is the only hot search. Other searches are focusing in on the late afternoon games.

Roethlisberger had a pretty decent first half, outside of an interception to Joe Haden. Other than that, Roethlisberger has thrown for 80 yards and a touchdown.

Roethlisberger was greeted with cheers by the hometown crowd.

Knowshon Moreno practiced this week, so unless there's a last-minute glitch with his health, expect Moreno to see at least some playing time versus the Jets today.

The official injury status of Darren McFadden's hamstring is unknown as of this writing since the Raiders have yet to release their inactive list.

With Bruce Gradkowski out and Jason Campbell having been benched once already this season, the Raiders need all the offensive weapons they can muster.

Aaron Rodgers is playing despite the concussion he suffered last week, so hopefully he is fully recovered.

With 169 yards and a touchdown on 13 attempts, he's looking pretty good through one half.

No official word on Brett Favre's elbow as of this writing, either. Whatever the status, everyone else is predicting he'll play, and I see no reason to disagree with that assessment.

Favre may complain about the pain during the week, but he always shows up on Sunday.
