NFL Preview - Washington (3-7) at Philadelphia (6-4)

NFL Preview - Washington (3-7) at Philadelphia (6-4)

NFL Preview - Washington (3-7) at Philadelphia (6-4)



The Philadelphia Eagles enter the final six weeks of this NFL season with their sights set on another postseason berth. The Washington Redskins, on the other hand, are simply trying to make it through the year in one piece.

The bruised and battered Redskins head to Philadelphia this Sunday to take on the playoff-hopeful Eagles in the second and final regular-season meeting between the two NFC East members of 2009.

Washington took the field against the rival Dallas Cowboys last Sunday minus a trio of difference-making players in running back Clinton Portis (concussion), tight end Chris Cooley (ankle fracture) and massive defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (sprained ankle), then was forced to endure another significant injury when Portis' trusted backup, Ladell Betts, tore his ACL in the first quarter. Right guard Chad Rinehart went down to a season-ending broken leg later in the contest, while starting cornerback DeAngelo Hall suffered a sprained right knee that has left his status for this week's matchup in question.

The Redskins had already lost six-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle Chris Samuels, veteran guard Randy Thomas and second-year safety Chris Horton for the season, and there's a chance that both Portis and Cooley will join those three on injured reserve before year's end.

Despite its depleted roster, Washington held a six-point lead on the NFC East- leading Cowboys before a late touchdown lifted Dallas to a 7-6 win. The loss was the fourth in five games for the hard-luck Redskins and dropped the team to 3-7 on the season.

With Betts done for the year and Portis still having lingering effects from his concussion, which the six-time 1,000-yard rusher incurred in a November 8 loss at Atlanta, seldom-used special-teamer Rock Cartwright will handle most of the backfield duties on Sunday. The eighth-year pro acquitted himself well when called upon against the Cowboys, amassing a healthy 140 yards from scrimmage.

Philadelphia will also be without its main ball carrier for Sunday's showdown, with proven playmaker Brian Westbrook ruled out because of a concussion of his own, one he sustained in the Eagles' 27-17 triumph over the Redskins back on October 26. The standout back, who's missed three of the team's last four games, will be held out for another two weeks before undergoing a further evaluation.

Rookie LeSean McCoy has filled in for Westbrook and came through with a career-best 99 yards on 20 carries to help Philadelphia rally for a much- needed 24-20 victory at Chicago last weekend. The second-round draft choice accounted for the go-ahead points with a 10-yard touchdown run with 5:31 to play.

The Eagles were able to rebound from back-to-back tough losses to Dallas and San Diego and stayed a game back of the first-place Cowboys in the division standings. The Eagles are also one of three teams, along with Green Bay and the New York Giants, currently atop the pack in the race for the NFC's two Wild Card berths.

Cooley's injury also came in that Week 7 encounter between these clubs, and he'll sit out at least one more game as he recovers from a resulting surgery. Haynesworth, the anchor of Washington's front seven, figures to be a game-time decision.

SERIES HISTORY

The Redskins hold a 77-66-5 lead in their all-time series with the Eagles, but as previously mentioned, were 27-17 home losers when the teams met for a Monday night affair in Week 7. Washington swept a home-and-home against their longtime NFC East rival last season, including a 23-17 road win when the teams met in Week 5 and a 10-3 triumph at FedEx Field in Week 16. The Redskins are 2-0 in Philadelphia since last losing there in 2006.

In addition to their regular season advantage, the Redskins won the only postseason meeting between the clubs, a 20-6 road triumph in a 1990 NFC First- Round Playoff.

Eagles head coach Andy Reid is 13-8 versus the Redskins since taking over in 1999, while Washington's Jim Zorn is 2-1 against both Reid and the Eagles as a head coach.

WHEN THE REDSKINS HAVE THE BALL

Although quarterback Jason Campbell (2126 passing yards, 10 TD, 9 INT) attempted a season-high 43 throws in last month's loss to the Eagles, the Redskins would prefer not to be so reliant on the pass this time around. The former first-round pick did put up 284 yards and two touchdowns with his team forced to play from behind nearly the entire way, but was sacked six times as Washington's patchwork front line failed to hold up. Sophomore tight end Fred Davis (23 receptions, 1 TD) established personal-bests of eight catches and 78 yards upon taking over for Cooley in that game, and expect Campbell to look his way against an Eagles squad that has often struggled in defending that position this year. Washington also possesses a pair of reliable receivers in veterans Santana Moss (40 receptions, 2 TD) and Antwaan Randle El (34 receptions), while Cartwright (135 rushing yards, 13 receptions, 1 TD) showed good hands out of the backfield with a seven-grab, 73-yard performance last week. The versatile 29-year-old is also plenty fresh, as the 13 rush attempts he garnered in the Dallas game exceeded his combined total over the previous three seasons. Zorn will be hoping his new top back can provide a spark to an offense that ranks just 25th in total yards (309.6 ypg) and is averaging an anemic 14.6 points per game.

Washington will do its best to attempt to establish a running game and slow down an aggressive Philadelphia defense that is tied for second in the league with 30 sacks and has produced 23 takeaways, a number exceeded only by New Orleans for the most in the NFL this year. Energetic end Trent Cole (39 tackles, 8.5 sacks) took down Campbell twice in the teams' earlier meeting, while linebacker Will Witherspoon (62 tackles, 1 INT, 1 PD) returned an interception for a touchdown in addition to notching a sack and forced fumble in his first outing since coming over in a midseason trade with St. Louis. Cole has picked up at least one sack in seven of the Eagles' first 10 games. Philly's potent pass rush is one reason the club stands fifth overall in pass efficiency defense, with the play of cornerbacks Asante Samuel (27 tackles, 5 INT, 8 PD) and Sheldon Brown (27 tackles, 4 INT, 11 PD) factoring in as well. Both will be entering Sunday's tilt banged up but available for duty, but nickel back Joselio Hanson (29 tackles, 1 INT, 5 PD) won't be in uniform as he continues to serve a suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancers. Weakside linebacker Akeem Jordan (53 tackles, 1 INT, 5 PD) may also miss a third straight game because of a hyperextended knee, which would mean an extended role for grizzled vet and one-time Redskin Jeremiah Trotter (9 tackles).

WHEN THE EAGLES HAVE THE BALL

While Philadelphia ranks only 11th in total offense (354.7 ypg), no team in the NFL this season has been better at coming up with the big play. The Eagles have delivered 15 gains of 40 or more yards thus far, with fleet-footed wideout DeSean Jackson (42 receptions, 728 yards, 7 total TD) contributing more than his share of game-changing segments. The Redskins know first-hand of the flashy sophomore's home-run ability, since Jackson had a 67-yard touchdown run and a 57-yard scoring catch in the Eagles' win at FedEx Field last month. The 22-year-old also stepped up with a key 48-yard touchdown connection with quarterback Donovan McNabb (1929 passing yards, 14 TD, 5 INT) in the second half of last week's ousting of the Bears, and ended the game with 107 yards on eight catches. Tight end Brent Celek (50 receptions, 5 TD) has emerged as the top pass-catcher in Reid's trademark West Coast scheme, with rookie Jeremy Maclin (37 receptions, 4 TD) and slot receiver Jason Avant (27 receptions, 2 TD) having also developed into trusted targets for McNabb. McCoy's (452 rushing yards, 3 TD, 23 receptions) quick transition to the pro game has enabled the Eagles to take it slow with Westbrook and offer a necessary change- of-pace to an offense that's often reliant on the pass.

The Eagles may utilize a more run-oriented approach this week, however, considering Washington has surrendered a league-low 161.6 passing yards per game but has had its troubles in containing enemy backs. Dallas put up 153 rushing yards on the Redskins a week ago and took advantage of the glaring absence of Haynesworth (27 tackles, 3 sacks), a two-time All-Pro who regularly draws double teams from the opposition. His space-eating skills have allowed steady middle linebacker London Fletcher (90 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT) to roam free and make tackles, while also boosting the impacts of end Andre Carter (45 tackles, 8 sacks) and rookie outside linebacker Brian Orakpo (34 tackles, 7 sacks), the team's top two pass rushers. With Haynesworth out last Sunday, the Redskins registered just one sack of Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Washington is also hoping that Hall (43 tackles, 4 INT, 7 PD), the defense's most accomplished cover corner, can suit up and headline a secondary that limited Philly to 140 net yards through the air back in Week 7. Forcing turnovers has been a lingering problem, however, and the Redskins come into this game rated a dismal 25th versus the run (128.4 ypg).

FANTASY FOCUS

Even though both teams will be employing backup running backs, don't be hesitant to use either McCoy or Cartwright this week, and the latter could turn out to be an astute waiver-wire pickup for the fantasy stretch drive. Jackson's knack for long-gainers and huge game against the Redskins earlier this year make the young speedster a must-play, with Maclin worth consideration as a third receiver or flex option. Philadelphia's Celek and Washington's Davis are each solid choices at the tight end spot, but avoid all other Redskin receivers unless desperate. The inconsistent Campbell is also a very risky proposition as a starting quarterback, but McNabb should be able to generate some points even with a matchup against a tough pass defense. Start the Philadelphia defense if you've got it as well as Eagles kicker David Akers, who ranks in the top five in scoring this season.

OVERALL ANALYSIS

Credit the Redskins for continuing to play hard through all the injuries and turmoil, and don't expect Zorn's bunch to lay down in a divisional game against a fierce rival. Still, the Eagles simply are the better team here, boasting a noticeable advantage in offensive playmakers and a more opportunistic defense that should have its way with Washington's suspect front line. Last season's two losses in this series suggest this won't be a walk in the park, but Philadelphia's superiority in overall talent and home-field edge should be enough for the Birds to earn a needed win.

Predicted Outcome: Eagles 20, Redskins 13

In the midst of a tight three-team race for the NFC East lead, the Philadelphia Eagles can't afford a slip-up against the division's last-place club.

Based on the Washington Redskins' play away from the nation's capital, that shouldn't be a problem.

The Eagles look to hand the banged-up Redskins a team record-tying ninth straight road loss Sunday, but to do so they'll have to snap a two-game home skid against Washington.

Philadelphia (6-4) is trying to give the NFC East a third different winner in the past three seasons, but the two most recent champions are standing in their way.


The Eagles could have fallen a game behind the New York Giants and two in back of division-leading Dallas with a loss Sunday in Chicago, and entering the fourth quarter down 20-17 it looked like they might. But one drive after rookie running back LeSean McCoy lost what looked to be a critical fumble, he capped a 12-play drive with a 10-yard touchdown run to lift Philadelphia to a 24-20 victory.

"Before we started the drive, we kind of huddled up and said a few words," said McCoy, who had a season-high 99 yards filling in for the injured Brian Westbrook. "(Donovan McNabb) spoke to us and said, 'Let's go. We've been in this position before, let's do it.' And I think everybody just kind of got together and drove down, inch by inch and play by play."

The Eagles cap a stretch of four road games in five weeks by visiting Atlanta and the Giants to begin December, but in an East race that may come down to which team has the best record within the division, beating the Redskins (3-7) is critical.

Washington has lost five of six since a 2-2 start, but it hasn't been blown out. Five of the Redskins' seven losses have been by eight points or fewer, and they outgained both opponents that beat them by double digits, with four turnovers crippling them in a 27-17 home loss to the Eagles on Oct. 26.

Jason Campbell and Washington's offense outgained Dallas 324-305 on Sunday, holding a 6-0 lead with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Patrick Crayton caught a touchdown pass from Tony Romo with 2:41 to play, however, and the Cowboys held on to win 7-6 and hand the Redskins their eighth consecutive road loss.

"To lose it like that in the end in a hostile situation, it's just so hard,' coach Jim Zorn said. "Yet, we hung in there. I believe this is a special team of players who will not just chuck things in being 3-7."

A loss in Philadelphia would tie Washington's record for consecutive road losses at nine, set from Nov. 6, 1960, to Nov. 5, 1961.

Unfortunately for Zorn, his list of healthy players is seemingly dwindling by the day. Running back Ladell Betts, backing up the injured Clinton Portis, tore the MCL and ACL in his left knee Sunday, and two other Redskins joined him this week on injured reserved - including guard Chad Rinehart.

Rinehart is the third Washington offensive lineman to be put on IR, and guard Mike Williams is unlikely to play again this week due to an ankle injury. If he can't go, undrafted rookie Edwin Williams will get the start at right guard, becoming the 10th Redskins offensive lineman to start a game.

Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth (hip) and cornerback DeAngelo Hall (knee) are questionable, while tight end Chris Cooley (ankle) remains out.

"Brutal. Brutal. It's been brutal,' said running back Rock Cartwright, who on Sunday will make his first start since Dec. 27, 2003 - also against the Eagles. "Hate to lose a guy like Ladell. Hate to lose a guy like Rinehart. We lost a lot of key guys we planned on having for the season.'

The potential loss of Hall could be critical to the league's No. 1 pass defense (161.6 yards per game), while missing Haynesworth for a second straight week may allow McCoy more room to run.

Perhaps Washington's biggest concern, though, is DeSean Jackson. The speedy second-year receiver had eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown in Chicago, and he had a 57-yard TD reception and a 67-yard scoring run in the Week 7 win over Washington.

Jackson also returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown in a 23-17 home loss to the Redskins last season.

Donovan McNabb hasn't thrown an interception in six consecutive games versus Washington, but his TD to Jackson last month was the only one he's thrown in his past three contests against the Redskins.

McNabb has a career 76.2 passer rating at home against Washington, and Philadelphia's offense has produced one offensive touchdown in the series' past two games at Lincoln Financial Field despite not having a turnover.

NFL Preview - Seattle (3-7) at St. Louis (1-9)

NFL Preview - Seattle (3-7) at St. Louis (1-9)

NFL Preview - Seattle (3-7) at St. Louis (1-9)

- No running back in the NFL has touched the football more this season than Steven Jackson. With his team beset by an injury at the quarterback position, the St. Louis Rams star figures to be in line for yet another extensive workload when the Seattle Seahawks pay a visit to the Edward Jones Dome this Sunday for a matchup between NFC West members.

Shortly after a 21-13 home loss to Arizona this past Sunday, the Rams learned that starting signal-caller Marc Bulger sustained a fracture just below his left knee that will keep the two-time Pro Bowl honoree out for a minimum of three weeks. It's the latest bit of bad news for an organization that has won a meager total of six games over the past three seasons, the lowest amount in the league.

Jackson has been one of the few bright spots in what's been another dismal campaign for the Rams. The standout back put together a fourth straight 100- yard rushing effort in last week's loss to the Cardinals and has racked up 1,031 yards on the ground through the first 10 games, which trails only Tennessee's Chris Johnson for tops in the NFL.

The sixth-year pro's 116 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries still weren't enough to prevent St. Louis from being dealt a 10th consecutive home defeat and an 11th loss in a row to an NFC West opponent. The Rams have gone just 1-9 thus far under first-year head coach Steve Spagnuolo, who took over following the team's forgettable 2-14 season of 2008.

With Bulger sidelined for the immediate future, St. Louis will once again put its offense in the hands of Kyle Boller, the former first-round washout in Baltimore who's lost the last eight games he's started. The offseason addition's last such victory, coincidentally, came against the Rams while still with the Ravens, a 22-3 verdict on October 14, 2007.

Boller started twice for an ailing Bulger during Weeks 4 and 5 of this season and committed four turnovers in lopsided setbacks to San Francisco and Minnesota. The Rams generated only 10 points combined over the course of those outings.

Seattle will be out to rediscover its season-opening form, when the club pasted the Rams by a 28-0 count in the Emerald City back in Week 1. It's been mostly downhill for the Seahawks since that shutout performance, however, with the team having dropped seven of its next nine tilts to essentially fall out of contention in the playoff race.

The lowest point may have come in the team's most recent outing, a 35-9 shellacking by the powerful Minnesota Vikings in which Seattle mustered a franchise-worst four rushing yards. The defense was equally as lousy, with the submissive Seahawks allowing the ageless Brett Favre to complete 22-of-25 passes and throw for four touchdowns.

Seattle has now lost all five of its road games in 2009, all of which have been by double-digits. The Seahawks' last triumph in an enemy venue came at the Edward Jones Dome last December, a 23-20 decision on a last-second field goal from kicker Olindo Mare.

SERIES HISTORY

The Seahawks lead the all-time series with the Rams, 13-9, and currently own a nine-game winning streak over their NFC West rivals. Seattle was a 28-0 winner when St. Louis visited Qwest Field in Week 1, and swept its fourth consecutive home-and-home over St. Louis last year. The Seahawks took a 37-13 home decision in Week 3 and prevailed by a 23-20 margin at the Edward Jones Dome in Week 15. The Rams' last wins of any kind in the series came in 2004, when they swept a home-and-home with their NFC West rival and went on to defeat them at Qwest Field in an NFC First-Round Playoff.

The latter contest, a 27-20 road win for the Rams, marks the only postseason meeting between the teams all-time.

Seahawks head coach Jim Mora is 3-0 against the Rams, with a 2-0 mark while serving at the helm of the Falcons (2004-06) that includes a win for Atlanta in a 2004 NFC Divisional Playoff. Spagnuolo is 0-1 against both Seattle and Mora as a head coach.

WHEN THE SEAHAWKS HAVE THE BALL

Last week's futile display from the running game provided a good illustration of why Seattle ranks dead last in the NFL in rushing offense (84.4 ypg) and has attempted the second-most passes in the league this year. The Seahawks did show excellent balance in their season-opening win over the Rams, however, producing a season-best 167 yards on the ground to complement a 279-yard, three-touchdown day out of quarterback Matt Hasselbeck (1853 passing yards, 11 TD, 7 INT). Primary ball-carrier Julius Jones (392 rushing yards, 20 receptions, 4 total TD) delivered 117 yards on just 19 attempts in that game, with most of the damage coming via a 62-yard scoring burst in the fourth quarter. The veteran back missed last Sunday's contest with a bruised lung and ribs, though, and may be pushed to a supporting role in favor of second-year man Justin Forsett (255 rushing yards, 29 receptions, 2 TD) even if he's able to return on Sunday. Forsett backed up a career-high 123-yard, 17-carry showing upon replacing the injured Jones in a Week 10 loss at Arizona by totaling 80 receiving yards on eight catches against the Vikings, aiding an aerial attack that possesses two solid wide receivers in Nate Burleson (51 receptions, 662 yards, 3 TD) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh (54 receptions, 3 TD). Young tight end John Carlson (34 receptions, 3 TD) burned St. Louis for 95 yards and two touchdown grabs in the team's earlier meeting, but he's been more of an afterthought in the game plan in recent weeks.

The Seattle backs should find plenty of running room against a St. Louis defense that was gashed for 183 rushing yards by the pass-happy Cardinals a week ago and ranks a lowly 28th overall (146.4 ypg) in that category. The Rams also have allowed foes to convert 50.8 percent of their third-down chances, the highest rate of success in the league, while a non-threatening pass rush has compiled only 17 sacks on the year, quite a drop-off from the noted high- pressure units Spagnuolo oversaw during his previous tenure as the New York Giants' defensive coordinator. The top performers of this otherwise subpar group have been rookie middle linebacker James Laurinaitis (76 tackles, 2 INT) and safeties Oshiomogho Atogwe (62 tackles, 1 sack, 2 INT) and James Butler (30 tackles, 3 INT, 5 PD), while 12th-year end Leonard Little (19 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 1 INT) is still an effective edge rusher at age 35. Laurinatis amassed 14 tackles (10 solo) against the Seahawks back in September, while both Atogwe and Butler had interceptions of Hasselbeck in the loss.

WHEN THE RAMS HAVE THE BALL

St. Louis hadn't been striking fear into the opposition with Bulger (1469 passing yards, 5 TD, 6 INT) under center, and Boller's (481 passing yards, 2 TD, 3 INT) career track record gives the team's 22nd-ranked passing offense (185.6 ypg) even less of a threat. The Rams' inconsistency in throwing the ball has made Jackson's (1031 rushing yards, 3 TD, 35 receptions) achievements even more remarkable, and the powerfully-built back hasn't shown any signs of slowing down despite having averaged 25 touches per game. He surpassed the century mark in rushing yards for the sixth time this season in last week's defeat. Jackson may be running behind a revamped front line on Sunday, however. Rookie right tackle Jason Smith, the No. 2 overall pick in last April's draft, suffered a possible concussion in the Arizona game and is a question mark to play, and it's unclear whether right guard Richie Incognito will be able to make it back this week from a sprained foot that's kept him out for a month. When Boller does drop back to pass, he'll be working with a receiving corps that has potential but is painfully young, as wideouts Donnie Avery (30 receptions, 4 TD), Brandon Gibson (12 receptions) and slotman Danny Amendola (19 receptions) all have less than two years experience.

The Seahawks were able to hold Jackson to a modest 67 rushing yards and zero catches in the opener, and enter Sunday's clash with the goal of keeping St. Louis' offensive focal point in check once again. Seattle stands a respectable 15th in rushing defense (110.5 ypg) and has been able to withstand the season- ending loss of three-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu, as replacement David Hawthorne (71 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 INT) has filled in nicely and is coming off a 15-tackle effort against Minnesota. Strong safety Deon Grant (41 tackles, 1 INT) finished with 10 stops, but could miss his first game since 2000 after injuring his wrist in the contest. Cornerback Josh Wilson (29 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT) is slated to be back on the field after being held out last week with a concussion, which should help out a secondary that was shredded by Favre. The Seahawks have yielded 19 touchdown passes on the year, the fifth-highest number in the NFL, but do sport a pair of proven pass rushers in 11th-year pro Patrick Kerney (19 tackles, 4 sacks) and fellow end Lawrence Jackson (20 tackles, 4 sacks). Seattle sacked Bulger three times in the teams' previous meeting.

FANTASY FOCUS

It goes without saying that Steven Jackson should be locked into weekly lineups, but owners should still be prepared for a possible dip in production from the top-tier back this week. The Rams' workhorse failed to top 84 rushing yards and didn't score a touchdown in either of Boller's two previous starts this season, while the Seattle defense was able to keep both he and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson under wraps during the course of this year. No other St. Louis offensive player can be considered a reliable play, with Avery containing the greatest upside of the receivers. Seattle's running back situation is a bit muddled with Jones potentially back in the fold, but Forsett is still the best bet to get the most work and makes a solid choice due to his receiving skills and a matchup with a soft St. Louis defense. Hasselbeck is worthy of using as well, while those with Carlson on their roster shouldn't view his two-touchdown game against the Rams in September as an aberration. Neither Burleson nor Houshmandzadeh are elite fantasy receivers, but they're both steady contributors with a decent amount of value.

OVERALL ANALYSIS

While the Rams seem to be making progress and the Seahawks have been horrid on the road this season, Seattle's dominant victory back in Week 1 is a pretty good indicator as to which is the more talented team. And with St. Louis forced to start a backup quarterback who's been mistake-prone in the past, the chances of the Rams ending their string of misery against divisional foes don't appear very good. The Seahawks are capable of preventing Steven Jackson from running wild and have enough weapons on offense to exploit a St. Louis stop unit with plenty of holes, and they'll be tough to beat as long as they win or draw even in the turnover battle.

Predicted Outcome: Seahawks 24, Rams 13

Date: November 29, 2009 1:00 PM EDT

It's been almost a year since the Seattle Seahawks won a game on the road. That came against the St. Louis Rams, who have gone even longer without a victory at home.

The struggling Seahawks look to snap a six-game road losing streak while trying for a 10th consecutive win over the lowly Rams on Sunday.

While St. Louis (1-9) is tied with Tampa Bay for the worst record in NFC and has already clinched a third straight losing season, Seattle is not playing much better.

The Seahawks (3-7) are trying to avoid a third straight loss overall after falling 35-9 at Minnesota last Sunday. Seattle's six straight road losses have all come by double digits, and it has allowed an average of 32.5 points in those games. Its last road win came Dec. 14, 23-20 at St. Louis.


"We can't get used to this,' quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said. "We can't get used to losing."

Unfortunately for the Seahawks, losing has been the norm the last two seasons. Seattle is 7-19 since its last playoff appearance in January 2008.

"There's no magic potion. We've just got to perform (better)," said Hasselbeck, who was 19 of 26 for 231 yards and one interception against Minnesota.

The Seahawks, however, are averaging 29.7 points during their nine-game winning streak over the Rams. St. Louis, which has lost 10 in a row at home since beating Dallas in October 2008, last beat Seattle 23-12 on Nov. 14, 2004.

In order to continue dominating this series, Seattle must find a way to bounce back from another blowout loss.

Last in the NFL with 84.4 rushing yards per game, the Seahawks gained a franchise-low 4 yards on 13 carries against the Vikings.

Replacing the injured Julius Jones, Justin Forsett had rushed for 123 yards on 17 carries in a 31-20 loss at Arizona the previous week, but was held to 9 yards and a touchdown against Minnesota.

"We tried to stick with it, but there was a point where we were beating our head against a wall,' coach Jim Mora said.

Jones, who suffered a lung contusion two weeks ago against Arizona, will be a game-time decision for Sunday.

Whether Jones or Forsett is running the ball, the Seahawks have a chance for a big game on the ground against the Rams, who are giving up 146.4 rushing yards per contest. Seattle ran for a season-high 167 yards in a 28-0 season-opening win over St. Louis on Sept. 13.

Hasselbeck, who's been playing with broken ribs and a sore shoulder for about a month, was 25 of 36 for 279 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions against the Rams earlier this season. He's thrown for 2,915 yards and 19 TDs with nine interceptions while going 9-3 as a starter versus St. Louis.

St. Louis won't have quarterback Marc Bulger available Sunday, but should have star running back Steven Jackson in the lineup.

Despite missing practice Wednesday due to lower back spasms, Jackson should be ready as he tries for a fifth consecutive 100-yard rushing game.

"Oh, he's going to play,' Mora said. "Big deal. That's not unusual for a running back who's carrying the ball as much as he has, to miss a day of practice.'

Second in the NFL with 1,031 rushing yards, Jackson had 116 and a TD on 24 carries in a 21-13 home loss to Arizona last Sunday. Jackson, who became the first Rams player to post five consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, has rushed for 721 yards in 10 games against the Seahawks, but has failed to reach 100 yards in any single one of those contests.

Kyle Boller will make his third start of the season in place of Bulger, expected to miss three to six weeks with a broken left shin bone suffered last Sunday. The Rams have lost two in a row by a combined 13 points since beating Detroit 17-10 on Nov. 1.

Boller has thrown for 481 yards and thrown two TDs with three interceptions this season, but hasn't played since a 38-10 loss to Minnesota on Oct. 11.

"I think our offense has made huge strides,' he said. "It's one of those deals where I'm excited to be in there with these guys."

Boller has never faced Seattle.

NFL Preview - Kansas City (3-7) at San Diego (7-3)

NFL Preview - Kansas City (3-7) at San Diego (7-3)

NFL Preview - Kansas City (3-7) at San Diego (7-3)



- It's the AFC West, so something's gotta give.

Just a week after the Denver Broncos' six-game season-starting win streak reached four games on the flip side, the conference's warm-weather division is host to another watershed contest.

Well...sort of.

In one corner, the suddenly white-hot San Diego Chargers, who've turned yet another disappointing 2-3 start into yet another five-game skein that's given them ownership of the division's premier standings spot.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs enter with mediocrity's version of a hot streak after winning two in a row since the addition-by-subtraction move that sent Larry Johnson packing.

First-year coach Todd Haley's squad began turning around a 1-7 start with a not-so-surprising downing of the equally hapless Oakland Raiders in Week 10, then continued the climb with a much-more-shocking OT defeat of the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers seven days later.

Ryan Succop's 22-yard field goal in the extra session capped off a nine-point day Sunday and kick-started another game week's worth of optimism in the Missouri plains.

"I'm a rookie head coach and am passionate about what I do," Haley said. "I live and die every day on how it goes with this team - not just game day. When you care about something, there is going to be some emotion. It's easy to be positive when good things are happening."

The turnaround has registered with the media as well, yielding equally positive commentary from Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock.

"Good things happen when you expect positive results, when you put your mind in a positive place, when you treat the people fighting with you like they have as much invested in the outcome as you do," Whitlock said in a post-game piece Sunday.

"Haley's transformation from coaching mad man to competent leader has been going on for several weeks. Sunday, he finally struck the right balance. His team reflected his new spirit. The players wanted to shock the Steelers as much as their coach, whose father played and worked for the Steelers.

"Are things perfect between Haley and his players? No. But there's been a lot of progress."

As for the Chargers, their late-season brand of progress is hardly new.

Coach Norv Turner and Co. stumbled from the gate an inglorious 4-8 in 2008, then won four straight at the end to catch the Broncos and win the division en route to a second-round playoff appearance.

They began the stretch drive a bit earlier this time around, downing the Chiefs by 30 on Oct. 25 before subsequent defeats of Oakland, the New York Giants, Philadelphia and the Broncos, the last of which came last week by 29 points.

Denver had won the first go-round this season by 11.

The Chargers are 19-4 against the West since 2006 and have won three straight in the division.

"When you go beat a team like that, sometimes people assume, 'You went to Kansas City and you should beat them because they're not very good,' or 'You beat Oakland because they aren't very good,'" Turner said.

"Then you turn around and see Kansas City beat Pittsburgh and Oakland beat Cincinnati, two pretty good football teams, then it starts to reconfirm some of the things I believe. Maybe I haven't lost it completely in terms of understanding completely what this league is all about."

SERIES HISTORY

Kansas City holds a 50-47-1 lead in a regular season series with San Diego that dates back to 1960, when the Chiefs franchise was known as the Dallas Texans and the Chargers resided in Los Angeles. The Chargers have won four straight in the series, including a 37-7 win when they visited Kansas City in Week 7 and a home-and-home sweep of the Chiefs last season. San Diego took one-point nail-biters at both Qualcomm Stadium (20-19) in Week 10 and Arrowhead Stadium (22-21) in Week 15 of last year. The Chiefs last defeated the Chargers in 2007, when they came up a 30-16 winner in their trip to Qualcomm Stadium.

In addition to their regular season history, the teams have met once in the postseason, with the Chargers scoring a 17-0 home victory over the Chiefs in a 1992 AFC First-Round Playoff.

Turner is 4-6 against the Chiefs as a head coach, including 4-1 since taking over in San Diego. Kansas City's Haley is 0-1 against both Turner and the Chargers as a head coach.

WHEN THE CHIEFS HAVE THE BALL

Bereft of its two most identifiable names from the beginning of the season - Johnson and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe (suspension) - the Chiefs turned to no- name running back Jamaal Charles against the Steelers and were rewarded with a 97-yard kickoff return TD and a subsequent scoring catch from quarterback Matt Cassel. Recent acquisition Chris Chambers, an ex-Charger, is another key addition and caught four passes for 119 yards, including a game-high 61-yarder. He's averaged 24.9 yards per catch since joining Kansas City. Cassel, who led the New England Patriots to 11 wins in place of Tom Brady last season before a high-profile trade, completed 15-of-30 passes against Pittsburgh for 248 yards and a pair of scores. Cassel is 13-11 as a starter and has 32 TDs and an 84.6 passer rating. Tight end Leonard Pope caught his first TD pass last week since December 2007 with Arizona.

The Chargers continued a recent trend of stinginess against Denver, holding the Broncos to less than 300 yards of total offense to drop their weekly average for the season to a slightly more respectable 321.1. Of that total, 118.5 is on the ground and 202.6 is through the air. Linebacker Shaun Phillips leads a pressure-heavy defense with six sacks, two ahead of fellow linebacker Shawne Merriman. Cornerback Antonio Cromartie has three of the team's 10 interceptions. Linebacker Stephen Cooper, a product of the University of Maine, leads with 77 tackles - 57 solo. Phillips has 5.5 sacks in his last six games against the Chiefs, while Cromartie seeks a third straight game overall with an interception. Yet another linebacker, Kevin Burnett, had two sacks against Denver last week and has registered a career-best three so far in 2009. The Chargers had three interceptions in the teams' first matchup this season.

WHEN THE CHARGERS HAVE THE BALL

Don't look now, but standout running back LaDainian Tomlinson is turning back the clock. The former TCU star rumbled for 73 yards and a touchdown against the Broncos, a week after going for 96 yards and two touchdowns in a defeat of the Eagles. He averages 90.6 yards per game against Kansas City and has 458 yards on 135 carries overall. The rushing attack of Tomlinson and Mike Tolbert provided the bulk of a 203-yard ground attack against Denver. On average, though, San Diego picks up just 87.9 of its 336.2 total weekly yards via rush. In the air, quarterback Philip Rivers needs 379 yards to hit 3,000 for the fourth straight season. He is 9-2 at home against the West with an 84.1 passer rating. Wideout Vincent Jackson is a TD short of surpassing a career-high set last year. Tight end Antonio Gates, who leads the team with 52 catches, has nine TDs against the Chiefs - his most against any foe.

Stoutness hasn't been a hallmark of the KC defense, which has allowed a hefty 389.5 yards per week even with the two recent wins. Nearly 140 come on the ground, while 250.9 are through the air. Even the Steelers gashed the Chiefs, with Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger going for 32 completions, 398 passing yards and three TDs in defeat. A plus-3 turnover margin has helped turn the tide, including four interceptions in the past two games. Linebacker Andy Studebaker had his first two career picks against Pittsburgh and returned one 94 yards. End Wallace Gilberry and linebacker Tamba Hall each have 3.5 of the team's 15 sacks through 10 games. Linebacker DeMorrio Williams has a team-best 84 tackles and has deflected two passes. Helping the field position game has been busy punter Dustin Colquitt, who leads the league with 29 punts inside the 20-yard-line.

FANTASY FOCUS

For the Chiefs, a motivated Chambers is a logical choice against ex-mates, and the suddenly surging Charles is emerging as a much more pleasant alternative to the exiled Johnson. For the Chargers, it's the usual suspects - Tomlinson, Jackson, Gates, Rivers - against what figures to be a generous defense. Speaking of defense, San Diego's is more likely to provide worthwhile points.

OVERALL ANALYSIS

OK, we'll bite on a few fairy tales. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, heck... even the Great Pumpkin makes the list. But not the Chiefs on the road against a first-place divisional foe in the season's final stages. The matchups are too heavy in San Diego's favor, even in what some could portray as a trap.

Bottom line, the Chargers are too good. And Kansas City, well... isn't.

Predicted outcome: Chargers 27, Chiefs 14

Date: November 29, 2009 4:05 PM EDT

The last time San Diego faced Kansas City, the Chargers were in desperate need of an AFC West victory.

When San Diego hosts the Chiefs on Sunday, it will look to continue its push for a fourth consecutive division title.

The Chargers try to win their sixth straight overall and fifth in a row over Kansas City, which is attempting to notch three consecutive victories for the first time in three years.

Coming off a 34-23 loss to Denver six days earlier that dropped it 3 1/2 games behind the Broncos for the West lead, San Diego (7-3) routed Kansas City 37-7 at Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 25.


"Hopefully, this is something we can build on," Philip Rivers said after throwing for 268 yards and three touchdowns in that victory.

The Chargers have since gone undefeated, winning 32-3 last Sunday in Denver to move atop the division.

Rivers completed 17 of 22 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown, LaDainian Tomlinson and Mike Tolbert each ran for a score and the defense forced three turnovers and had three sacks in what coach Norv Turner called the team's most complete effort of the season.

"The best thing about it is that we're not anywhere near where we can be," said Turner, whose team looks for its first six-game winning streak since the end of the 2007 regular season.

San Diego, though, is not about to overlook the 3-7 Chiefs, who beat Pittsburgh 27-24 in overtime last week.

"For Pittsburgh to go in there and lose to Kansas City, that's a real eye opener to everybody in the NFL," offensive tackle Marcus McNeill told the Chargers' official Web site. "It doesn't matter who you play. You've got to come to play. We're on a little streak right now and we want to keep it going."

So do the Chiefs, who look for their first three-game winning streak since Oct. 22-Nov. 5, 2006.

"A lot of hard work has gone into it and our coaches and players and everybody has really bought in," said rookie Ryan Succop, who kicked the winning field goal against the Steelers.

That includes veteran wide receiver Chris Chambers, who caught four passes for a season-high 119 yards. His 61-yard reception in overtime set up the winning kick.

"I think the feeling is definitely good, the confidence is starting to build a little bit," said Chambers, who will face the Chargers for the first time since they waived him Nov. 2.

Chambers' production comes at a good time for Kansas City, as leading receiver Dwayne Bowe will serve the second of his four-game suspension Sunday for violating the league's policy against performance-enhancing substances.

Without Bowe, Matt Cassell looks to build on a solid second half last Sunday when he threw a pair of TDs, including a 2-yarder to running back Jamaal Charles with 4:54 left in regulation that made it 24-all.

"I've got to hand it to him, the kid's a fighter," coach Todd Haley said of Cassell, who threw for 97 yards with a career-high three interceptions last month against San Diego.

Charles returned six kicks for 147 yards in that game and had 158 return yards last week, including a 97-yard TD on the opening kickoff for the Chiefs' first kickoff return for a score in four years.

Charles will face a San Diego rush defense that is 21st in the league, allowing 118.5 yards per game.

Tomlinson, who has rushed for five touchdowns in the last four weeks, will be running behind newly signed right tackle Jon Runyan after Jeromey Clary (ankle) was placed on injured reserve.

Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie, who picked off his team-leading third pass last Sunday, is under investigation for assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting someone in the head with a champagne bottle at a San Diego bar early Monday morning.

Cromartie, who is expected to play this week, posted the following message on his Twitter account in response to the allegations: "I want to apologize to charger nation and my fans. There's sum stuff out abt me that's not true. It will come out. God Bless."
