Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
Brian Urlacher's 90-yard fumble recovery for a TD put the Bears ahead 24-0 with 6:04 to play. |
Bears' LB Urlacher. Had a sack, an interception, forced a fumble and returned a fumble for a TD. |
With five turnovers and seven sacks, the Bears took it to Chris Chandler, the top-rated
quarterback in the league, and really contained Michael Vick. They're
playing like a top defense in the league.

Tim Couch threw a 19-yard TD pass to Kevin Johnson with 1:15 remaining. |
Browns defensive line. Roughed up Doug Flutie all afternoon. |
You win with defense and the Browns are playing outstanding defense right
now. Let's talk about (playoff potential) after they play Tennessee and Baltimore in their
division. |

Jason Taylor picked up a fumble and returned it 1-yard for a TD and 27-10 lead to end the third quarter. |
Dolphins' RB Lamar Smith. Rushed 29 times for 144 yards and a TD in bruising performance. |
This is how the Patriots played three times and last week was how they
played once so, this is probably a better indication of the way they play.
When you turn the ball over and can't protect the quarterback, not too many
good things are going to happen. |
UP NEXT: Patriots (1-3) vs. Chargers (3-1) | Dolphins (3-1) at Jets (1-2) |

Chris Oldham returned a fumble 38 yards for a TD and 25-7 lead in the third quarter. |
Saints' RB Ricky Williams. Carried 30 times for 136 yards and TD, and had five catches for 42 yards. |
Ricky Williams was outstanding ... he controls the game and makes it a lot easier for the Saints to throw the
ball ... the
Saints are definitely among the NFC's best. |
UP NEXT: Vikings (1-3) vs. Lions (0-2) | Saints (2-1) at Panthers (1-2) |

Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
Jason Sehorn returned an interception 34 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter for the final score. |
Giants' CB Sehorn. Had six tackles and two interceptions, including the one for a key score. |
This was a sloppy game because both teams turned the ball over a lot. The
Redskins competed, played hard and tackled better (than in previous losses). |
UP NEXT: Redskins (0-4) at Cowboys (0-4) | Giants (3-1) at Rams (3-0) |

Jake Plummer threw a 35-yard TD pass to MarTay Jenkins with nine seconds left. |
Cardinals' QB Plummer. It was a fine grab by Jenkins, but Plummer engineered the drive and has doomed the Eagles five times in the final quarter. |
They were looking towards their next matchup against the Giants
and forgot they had a game with Arizona this week. They let the Cardinals
get ahead early, came back from behind, and then the let them win it in the
end. |

Kris Brown kicked a 48-yard field goal for the final score in the final minutes. |
Steelers' RB Jerome Bettis. Rushed for 153 yards on 23 carries, surpassing the 10,000-yard mark for his career. |
Jerome Bettis had an
outstanding day. He just lined up and ran the ball. That's Pittsburgh's game
-- when they can run the ball, they're going to win. |
UP NEXT: Bengals (2-2) vs. Browns (3-1) | Steelers (2-1) at Chiefs (1-3) |

Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
The Ravens built a 17-0 lead at halftime, insurmountable against their defense. |
Ravens RB Terry Allen. Fills in admirably with 108 yards and a TD on 22 carries. |
Histororically, an 0-3 start is not a good sign for Tennessee's playoff
hopes. With Jeff Fisher at the helm, the Titans need to get back to what
they do well -- Eddie George needs to run the ball. |
UP NEXT: Titans (0-3) vs. Bucs (2-1) | Ravens (3-1) at Packers (3-1) |

Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
Rian Lindell's 25-yard FG in the fourth quarter gave the Seahawks a 9-point lead. |
Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander. Rushed for 176 yards and two TDs on 31 carries. |
Trent Dilfer handled the Seahawks offense much better than we've seen this
season. Polished and ready, Dilfer got the ball to his receivers and the
Jacksonville blitz didn't bother him. |
UP NEXT: Jaguars (2-2) BYE | Seahawks (2-2) vs. Broncos (3-1) |

Rod Smith caught a 4-yard TD pass from Brian Griese in the fourth for the final points. |
Broncos RB Mike Anderson. Rushed 22 times for 155 yards and a TD in another strong showing. |
If Rod Smith is taken away, the Broncos need
someone else to go to because Eddie Kennison is not getting the job done. |
UP NEXT: Chiefs (1-3) vs. Steelers (2-1) | Broncos (3-1) at Seahawks 2-2) |

Mo Lewis returned a fumble 15 yards for a TD to make it 42-22 at the end of the third. |
Jets RB Curtis Martin. Rushed for 135 yards and two TDs on 26 carries. |
The Jets will have to play much
better on defense to have a chance at the playoffs. Offensively, they're
starting to spread the ball around a little bit and do some more creative
things -- which they needed to do. |
UP NEXT: Jets (2-2) vs. Dolphins (3-1) | Bills (0-4) BYE |
Raiders 28, Cowboys 21

Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
The Raiders went up 21-7 in the third quarter on a run by Tyrone Wheatley. |
Raiders WR Tim Brown. Solid outing with seven catches for 114 yards. |
In
practice, Quincy Carter fumbled three snaps and was throwing interceptions.
Carter pulling his hamstring was the best thing that happened to the Cowboys
today -- Anthony Wright gives the Cowboys the best chance to win.

Vinny Cerrato's analysis |
Mike Alstott broke free for a 39-yard TD in the fourth, and Brett Favre's final end-zone passes fell incomplete. |
Bucs LB Shelton Quarles. Returned an interception 98 yards for a TD. |
Offensively, the Bucs need to get the ball down the field a little more. They're playing so conservatively that it takes 8-12 plays to move the ball. |
UP NEXT: Packers (3-1) vs. Ravens (3-1) | Bucs (2-1) at Titans (0-3) |
