The Washington Redskins are currently 1-2, with their one win being a two-point win over the lowly touted St. Louis Rams. They even lost to the Detroit Lions, ending the Lions' 19-game losing streak. When you barely beat the Rams, lose to the Lions, and have Albert Haynesworth and London Fletcher in your front seven, you have problems. Redskins head coach Jim Zorn didn't raise any heads last season as the team ...

After defeating the Cleveland Browns 34-3 Sunday, the Baltimore Ravens wonátheir third consecutive game of the season. The Ravens now hold a one game lead over the Cincinnati Bengals, and a two game lead over the hated Pittsburgh Steelers. Racing to the team's second ever 3-0 record, the Ravens seem to be winning in a way that Ravens fans are not used to. Joe Flacco has led the Ravens through the air, ...

Last season, Chris ôBeanieö Wells was considered to be one of the best running backs in college football. He just came off a monster sophomore season where he rushed for 1,609 yards, which was a Ohio State rushing record for a sophomore. á He hurt his foot in the Buckeyes season opener last year.

This was not how the script was supposed to read for the defending Super Bowl champions.á With one of the NFL's easiest (at least on paper) schedules, the Steelers seemed a sure bet to steamroll their way to the playoffs. Not so on the field. Pittsburgh has faltered to 1-2 and has seen their season defined by an injury to star safety Troy Polamalu and sloppy second-half play by both offense and ...

As I sat in the Edward Jones Dome Sunday afternoon and watched the Green Bay Packers beat the hapless St. Louis Rams, I couldn't stop a wandering eye from glancing up at the far side of the building. There on the ring of honor, beside Rams greats like Marshall Faulk and Merlin Olsen, and other St. Louis football icons like Dan Dierdorf, were digital displays providing scores and stats from around ...

Remember last week? Remember life before Sept. 27, 2009? It was a time fraught with anxiety, despair, hopelessness. It was a time where columnists like myself were predicting that last SundayÆs game against the Washington Redskins was going to be the Detroit LionsÆ last chance at a victory until after their Week Seven bye. Now, suddenly, that seems a bit hasty. This team has finally won a game, and in somewhat convincing fashion. They didnÆt ...
