The New England Patriots-San Diego Chargers matchup tonight is a rematch of the AFC Championship Game last season, but that can't erase the fact that both teams have lost to the Miami Dolphins this season.
CLEVELAND -- These out-of-town guests are smug, rude and inconsiderate. New Yorkers who hang out in New Jersey, they treat every place they visit like they own it.
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Carolina Panthers against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just the thought makes the teams seethe.
Despite not making a single throw in practice this week, quarterback Aaron Rodgers is prepared to start for the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Seattle.
Nathan Vasher's right wrist was sound enough for him to participate in all of practice Thursday. The telling sign, though, will be how the Bears handle their cornerbacks Sunday at Atlanta. A Pro Bowl selection in 2005, Vasher already has ceded playing time to Corey Graham in certain running situations, and after Graham turned heads filling in for Vasher last week at Detroit, he's not coming off the field for good.
The Bears hoped a one-game suspension would lead to an epiphany, and Tommie Harris says he found God.
I was faced with an odd decision Sunday morning, one I couldn't have fathomed before the season.
Saints starting cornerback Tracy Porter will miss the rest of his rookie season after dislocating his right wrist during Monday night's game against Minnesota.
Reputations are difficult to shake, not that Kyle Orton cares one bit. One prognosticator in Detroit picked the Lions to win their first game Sunday against the Bears. His reasoning? The Lions were not so bad that they couldn't beat Orton at Ford Field.
The Detroit Lions will have to fire Rod Marinelli if they don't want him to be their coach.
NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Saints committed so many blunders, not even Reggie Bush's record-tying two punt returns for touchdowns could make up for them in a 30-27 loss Monday to the Minnesota Vikings.
Its hard to say what was most impressive about the Bears today.
HOUSTON -- Headed for what appeared to be another loss, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts staged a stunning comeback with the help of a colossal collapse by the Houston Texans.
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- With every rock-solid read and on-target spiral, Matt Ryan takes another step toward making everybody forget Michael Vick, Bobby Petrino and everything else in the Atlanta Falcons' ugly recent past.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Eli Manning threw two touchdown passes, Brandon Jacobs ran for two more scores and the unbeaten New York Giants scored on their first five possessions en route to a 44-6 rout Sunday of the Seattle Seahawks.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Adrian Wilson nearly sat out Sunday's game against Buffalo because of a sore hamstring. The decision to let him play brought a painful, early end to Bills quarterback Trent Edwards' day.
DENVER -- Buccaneers quarterback Brian Griese has one more bad memory of Denver to digest.
The day after Notre Dame missed two more field goals, making the Irish 1-for-7 for the season and 7-for-20 since the start of 2007, coach Charlie Weis said it's time for Plan B.
PHILADELPHIA -- A few of the Washington Redskins were walking off the field, high-fiving, hugging and celebrating another road victory when they looked up at disgruntled fans and gave them another reason to pout.
DETROIT -- Roy Williams wondered aloud after practice Friday what the fans might have in store if things didn't go well against the Bears.
Tony Romo passed for three touchdowns, including a 57-yarder to Terrell Owens in the fourth quarter, and the Dallas Cowboys squandered nearly all of an early 17-point lead before rebounding to earn a 31-22 victory Sunday against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.
