Well, the Washington Redskins did it again – they walked into a division rival’s house and pinned a big ‘L’ on them. Going into the game, the ‘experts’ seemed sure that the Philadelphia Eagles would take this one, but then again, they said the same thing last week about Dallas. Here are some links to some of Sunday’s game coverage:

Hognostications-Week 5
Wow, wasn’t last weekend a great week for football? Congrats go out to tribeofjudah and Fios for an impressive 11-2 record. Many spots have changed last week and it’s definitely getting interesting. Rest assured though, there is a lot of football yet to be played.
THN Weekly with Andre Carter: Week 5
After their thrilling victory over perhaps the best team in the NFL, the Redskins solidified themselves as one of the top teams in the league and tightened up the already competitive NFC East, arguably the best division in football. The Dallas Cowboys were riding high atop the NFL standings at 3-0 before the Redskins served … Read more

The Six Pack: Pam Oliver’s Giant Head
1) One of my favorite moments from the Redskins win over the Cowboys was Troy Aikman saying, tentatively: “I believe the Redskins have won only once here in their past 13 games.” Really Troy? You believe? Because not only am I 100% certain of it, I also happen to know for a fact that you … Read more
‘Big D’ stands for ‘Dominated’
Okay, before we get started here, I need to complain a bit. I tune into Fox on Sunday at about 4 p.m., expecting to have to watch a few minutes of the early game before they send us out to Joe and Troy in Texas. Instead, I am forced to watch waaaay too much of a meaningless game between the Jets and Cardinals. It’s 56-35 Jets with two minutes to play – the game is over, why not switch to the late game? Just to add to my frustration, Boldin goes down (Warner’s fault, he led him right into the safety), and with all due respect to Boldin’s well-being, it just prolonged my frustration. Fox should have switched to the Redskins-Cowboys at 4:15, given that the Jets-Cards game was completely out of hand, so I wouldn’t have to miss half of the first quarter. End rant.
So I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong. And when I wrote last week that the Redskins would drop off the radar until later in the season, I could not have been more wrong. The words ‘Redskins’, ‘Cowboys’, ‘T.O.’ and ‘hot pants’ have been spoken more over the past few days more than the word ‘bailout’ (or is that two words?). So much for flying under the radar. We’ll just have to get used to being media darlings. *sigh* Tough work, but I think the Redskins are up for it.
Finally, and update on the lucky underwear – wore them again, and another win. That’s 2-0 for the lucky underwear. I’ll probably wear them again this week for the Eagles game, but then I’ll save them for a worthy opponent. I wouldn’t want to use up all our underwear-luck on the Rams or Bengals.
And now, for some oh-so-sweet, beaten-Cowboy drivel….
By The Numbers: Cowboys I
While the most important number put up by the Washington Redskins this week was the number 3, as in wins this season, here is a look at some of the other interesting numbers from Sunday’s 26-24 defeat of the Dallas Cowboys:

Corners Outstanding
There were a lot of good, even great, performances from Redskin players in their 26-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Were any of them better than those of Carlos Rogers and Shawn Springs? For most of the day, the job of trying to stop Terrell Owens fell to Springs; but when Springs strained his calf, … Read more
Skins vs. Cowboys Wrap-Up
