11/24/2008 8:50 AM
The Philadelphia Daily News reports after benching QB Donovan McNabb at halftime and watching Kevin Kolb suffer through a rough second half, Eagles coach Andy Reid now must decide who starts in four days, Thursday night against Arizona. McNabb finished 8-for-18 for 73 yards with two interceptions and a fumble. Kevin Kolb was 10-for-23 for 59 yards with two interceptions. The Eagles offense has now gone 99 minutes, 29 seconds since their last offensive touchdown, during the third quarter of last week's game against Cincinnati. They have now scored one offensive TD in 140:30. After the game, Reid said he had not made a decision about the starter for Thursday. Read more

Texans finally win on road, top clumsy Browns 16-6

Cleveland Browns
11/24/2008 8:46 AM
AP reports a disastrous season got even worse for the Browns (4-7), who lost their third straight at home and watched their ever-faithful fans leave by the thousands in the final minutes. Unlike the previous two losses, the Browns didn't blow a double-digit lead as they fell behind 10-0 early and never recovered. Quarterback Brady Quinn was replaced in the second half of his third start after throwing two interceptions, the second a killer inside Houston's 10-yard line. Quinn, who was given the job following Derek Anderson's early-season struggles, went 8 of 18 for 94 yards. Quinn was playing with a broken right index finger on his throwing hand, but the Browns never announced any injury when coach Romeo Crennel pulled the former Notre Dame star with Cleveland down 16-6 in the third quarter.

The Times-Picayune reports RB Deuce McAllister could be playing his final game at the Superdome on Monday night.  I could be jumping the gun here. A lot of things would have to fall in place for it to happen. But it's not as long a shot as it might seem. In fact, it's an inconvenient truth. Technically, McAllister has four years remaining on his contract with the Saints, but the reality is his roster spot is far from guaranteed next season. His salary cap number jumps from $4.5 million to $7.3 million. That's feature-back money, not role player money, and McAllister, at this stage of his injury-riddled career, is a role player -- at least in the eyes of his current employer. Read more
