Week Three NFL News

It is no secret that the Dallas Cowboys defense has not played up to par leading up to their Monday Night Football match-up with the Carolina Panthers last night.

However, against the struggling Panthers offense, the Cowboys needed to come up with a big play. They got some from Terrence Newman and rookie linebacker Victor Butler.

Newman returned an interception 27 yards for a lead-stretching touchdown with...

When Ben Roethlisberger plunged into the end zone on a one-yard quarterback sneak with 3 minutes left in the third quarter giving the Steelers a 20-9 lead, many thought, "Same old Bengals... at least they stayed in the game this long."

However, Cincinnati wouldn't quit. The Bengals scored twice in the final period and held Pittsburgh off the scoreboard to take home their first win at home against the Steelers in 10 tries 23-20. It wouldn't be easy as Cincinnati used almost all of the time on the clock to complete...

With starting quarterback Donovan McNabb and star running back Brian Westbrook side-lined with injuries and Michael Vick making his return to the gridiron, the Philadelphia got big performances from their youngsters as Kevin Kolb and LeSean McCoy had big days for the Eagles.

Kolb threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns, McCoy had 84 yards rushing and one touchdown, and DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek each had 100-plus yards receiving and one score for the banged-up Philadelphia Eagles.

While Kolb became the first quarterback to...

When children play in the schoolyard they often imagine themselves down by four, scrambling around the pocket and firing a winning touchdown pass as time is about to expire.

Well the Minnesota Vikings could not have dreamed up the scenario any better on Sunday afternoon when Brett Favre zipped a 32-yard pass to Greg Lewis in the back of the end zone in the final seconds to steel a victory from the San Francisco 49ers.

The final play started with just 12 seconds on the...

It may only be Week 3, but both the Dallas Cowboys and the Carolina Panthers feel like tonight's game is a must-win as they both look to turn their their seasons around by string together a few wins.

The story of these two teams has been all about the quarterbacks. At 1-1, Dallas defeated Tampa Bay 34-21 in its opener behind a great performance by Tony Romo while the Panther are 0-2 after some truly awful play from Jake Delhomme.

Vegas is calling the Cowboys heavy favorites at home. NFL odds makers have Dallas at...

When Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell connected with Rock Cartwright for Campbell's second touchdown pass of the day with about two and a half minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Lions fans couldn't help but think, "Here we go again." But the Lions player kept on fighting.

On this day the Lions, who had lost lost 19-straight games dating back to December of 2007, would finally put to rest the thoughts of breaking Tampa Bay's record 26 straight loses. Now, with a 19-14 win, Detriot is 1-2 and holding a better record than seven other...

Sunday night in prime-time, Peyton Manning and the 2-0 Indianapolis Colts head to Glendale to take on the 1-1, defending NFC Champion, Arizona Cardinals in what should prove to be an exciting offensive match-up.

With Manning and Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner leading their respected offenses, both teams look to keep up the winning ways after both teams were questioned following lackluster week one performances.

Odds makers have this one pegged as a close one as the Vegas line is sitting at...

If the 1-1 Cincinnati Bengals expect to take the next step and become a playoff contender, they need to start winning some games against divisional foes like Pittsburgh, especially at home.

That is exactly what they are going to try to do as the Steelers look to win their ninth straight against the Bengals at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday afternoon in Cincinnati.

NFL odds makers recognize the progress the Bengals are making, but not enough to call them home favorites as the Vegas line is...

Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field, Eagles head coach Andy Reid will be without starting quarterback Donovan McNabb, but Philadelphia has the what might be the most impressive contingency plan in the league.

Philly employs three quarterbacks who have been selected to a combined 12 Pro Bowls, but it's looking more and more like their signal caller against the Kansas City Chiefs could be making his second career start. All eyes will be on the man that might take Kevin Kolb's place for a few snaps when Michael Vick plays in his first regular season game in 33 months.

Odds makers are calling the Eagles more than a...

Sunday afternoon in the Meadowlands, two of this season's biggest surprises square off when the 2-0 New York Jets host the 0-2 Tennessee Titans.

Win-less for the Titans, might be a little deceptive as they have lost their first two by a total of six points. Tennessee opened with an overtime loss at the Pittsburgh Steelers before blowing a 14-point lead last week and falling 34-31 to Houston on a late field goal.

Vegas prognosticators have this one very close. NFL odds makers list the line at New York...
