The Associated Press
In the past 12 years, there's usually been something on the line when Washington traveled to Philadelphia.
But that was back when it was Joe Gibbs vs. Buddy Ryan, grudge matches like "the body bag game," so called by Ryan because his Eagles knocked out Stan Humphries and Jeff Rutledge on a
Monday night and the Redskins ended the game with running back Brian Mitchell at quarterback.
This year? It's two of the NFL's three winless teams coached
by men likely to be employed elsewhere soon: the Eagles' Ray Rhodes and the Redskins' Norv Turner. Worse, neither can get the first pick in next year's draft, which goes to Cleveland, it reenters the league as an expansion team.
The Redskins have scored more But they've also given up 169 points in their five losses, most in the NFL. And despite committing $57 million to defensive tackles Dan Wilkinson and Dana Stubblefield, they're next-to-last in the league against the run, worse than last year, when they were 28th.
"How can it be any worse than what it is right now?" asks Rhodes, whose team has scored just six touchdowns in five games.
"I mean, it's bad, man. ... I'm not going to say anything's rock bottom. I'm just saying right now that we've got to find a way to get this thing turned around." he said.
"Talent doesn't mean a whole lot if you don't put the effort out," says middle linebacker Marvcus Patton. "You've got to do a lot of things to let that talent show. You have ready to play, be confident in what you're doing."
Someone will have a little more confidence after Sunday's game. But probably not for long.
The Seahawks got the Pacific Northwest excited by starting 3-0 against the Eagles, Cardinals and Red
skins. Then came road trips (and losses) to Pittsburgh and Kansas City.
Denver (5-0) at Seattle (3-2)
The Seahawks could win here, just because the Broncos are probably due for a letdown. The Broncos have routed Philadelphia and Washington, too, with little fall off from the injured John Elway to Bubby Brister.
Elway may be back this week, but Warren Moon's cracked ribs mean that John Friesz, who replaced Moon in the Kansas City mud last week, or Jon Kitna, the designated quarterback of the future, will start. Seattle also will dust off Brian Blades to see if he can provide an alternate to receiver Joey Galloway.
Elvis Grbac returns for the Chiefs in this meeting of two AFC teams with Super Bowl aspirations. Kansas City's only loss was in Jacksonville, where special teams let the Chiefs down.
Kansas City (4-1) at New England (3-1)
New England's 30-27 win in New Orleans may have been a wakeup call. Drew Bledsoe, often maligned in New England, pulled an Elway-Montana-Marino in that one, driving the Patriots for the winning field goal in the final minute after throwing three interceptions.
"It makes you feel good to know that we've got a quarterback that can get the job done," says rookie running back Robert Edwards. "No matter what the situation is, he's not going to choke under pressure."
San Francisco (3-1) at New Orleans (3-1)
Two weeks ago, the 49ers sent Atlanta a message about being top dog in the NFC West. They're in the same position this week.
But this time San Francisco is coming off the 26-21 disaster in Buffalo, where it tied a league record with 22 penal
ties. That won't happen again, although the New Orleans defense is good enough to make things difficult, particularly if Jamie Brown, the 49ers' new left tackle, isn't any better.
The Saints seem to be winning back the paper-bag brigade, even though they lost last week for the first time.
of how we played," says Mike Ditka. "I'd rather hear them say they're proud of how we won."
"People were coming up after the game saying how proud they were
Miami (3-1) at Jacksonville (4-
0) (Monday night)
There's more at stake here than the championship of Florida between intrastate rivals meeting for the first time. Both would love to play in a Super Bowl in their home state: the game is in Miami this season.
The Dolphins hope that last week's 20-9 loss to the Jets doesn't start them on their annual slide to mediocry. They've won their first three in four of five years now, but haven't been better than 9-7 the past three seasons.
The Jaguars need a breakout game — three of their four wins are by a total of 11 points.
Atlanta (3-1)
at New York
Giants (2-3)
The Falcons
are 9-3 since
midway through
last season, although none of the wins are against teams with winning records. This one is Dan Reeves' first game against the Giants since he was banished from the Meadowlands, meaning both teams should be fired up.
There's nothing wrong with the Giants that a little offense wouldn't cure. Bad as that offense is, it's only next to last in the NFL — Dan Marino and the Dolphins are worse.
Carolina (0-4)
at Dallas (3-2)
This is the
kind of game the
Cowboys might
lose if Barry
Switzer was still the coach. But Chan Gailey is getting the most out of less talent than Switzer had in his early years, including Jason Garrett, who is 2-1 in his two starts in place of Troy Alkman.
The Panthers embarrassed themselves in Atlanta last week, and Kerry Collins stepped down as the team's quarterback. His replacement will be Steve Beuerlein, a former Cowboy.
Pittsburgh (3-1) at Cincinnati
The Steelers worked during their bye week on getting the offense back on track, particularly the passing game, which has suffered from the free agency loss of Yancey Thigpen and the confusion of Kordell Stewart under new offensive coordinator Ray Sher-
man. They've also had to shuffle the offensive line because of injuries.
Neil O'Donnell will probably be back at quarterback against his old team. But the Bengals, who
start three rookies on defense,
are following the same old pattern:
the past three seasons,
they've started 6-20 and finished
New York Jets (2-2) at St. Louis (1-3)
Bill Parcells can confuse anyone — he's been saying Glenn Foley is his quarterback, but Vinny Testaverde started last week, even though Foley insisted his ribs were healthy. It's back to Foley now, but the bigger question may be Curtis Martin, who bruised his right thigh.
Looking for omens? The Rams have lost eight straight at home since beating another New York-New Jersey team, the Giants, last Sept. 21.
San Diego (2-3) at Oakland (3-1)
Where's Vince Evans? For the second week in a row, Ryan Leaf has almost as much experience as the opposing quarterback. He's thrown 127 passes in his five games, while Donald Hollas, who replaces the injured Jeff George, has thrown 146 in six-plus NFL seasons.
The Raiders, whose wins are over the Giants, Cowboys and Cardinals, are another of those AFC West teams who could contend for the NFC East title. The Chargers aren't — they lost to the Giants, the only loss the division has to an NFC East team.
Chicago (1-4) at Arizona (2-3)
The Bears, who led in all four of their losses, finally figured things out last week, falling behind 27-10 against Detroit before rallying to win. Still, they've been outscored 61-0 in third quarters this season.
Buffalo (1-3) at Indianapolis (0-4)
Both teams got their first wins last week, the Bills in impressive fashion. 26-21 against the 49ers.
The Colts' 17-12 win over San Diego was Peyton Manning's first win as an NFL quarterback, although the offense covered 3.3 and 5 yards to get its final three scores, all field goals.
