After three weeks we're down to just 5 undefeated teams. Let's take a closer look at those teams this week -

The Cincinnati Bengals were off this week, but have relied on their offense so far with 22 runs scored their first two games. 26 year old CF Pop Corkhill is hitting .556 with 5 RBI so far this season. Ernie Burch and Sean Hopkins have each driven in 4 runs this year. The Bengals will need to rely on their offense though, as they've already sent two different starters to the mound, Harry Jenks and Ed Lowe.

41 year old Milt Foss is proving he's still got plenty of gas left in the tank as he won his second game and the Tennessee Titans improved to 3-0 this week and are leading the ABC South. Foss has an ERA of 0.71 so far this year in 25 1/3 innings, striking out 9 and not walking a batter. 34 year old Cletus Boyar is having a big season for the Titans, hitting .385 with a homer and 3 RBI

In the NBC East the Eagles knocked off another division rival this week, beating the Cowboys 4-1. Hardie Henderson improved to 3-0 on the year with a 5 hitter, walking none and striking out 4 and won his first career Player of the Week Award. Henderson also picked up an RBI triple at the plate. 25 year old Joe Muller is hitting .308 for the season and picked up 2 key hits in the Eagles win over the Cowboys.

The Vikings finished last year with a 7-9 record, but improved to 3-0 on the year with an 11-4 win over the Rams. CF Rusty Messer had 4 hits in the win, and scored 4 times to lead the Vikings, but every starter had a least 1 hit in the win.

Last but not least, the defending World Champion New Orleans Saints improved to 3-0 on the season with a 5-2 win over the Redskins.
