The Rams opened 4-1 under new coach Scott Linehan before losing seven of eight, including a 42-27 defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday night. Playoff talk has evaporated for the Rams (5-8), even in the muddled NFC. ``If anyone brings up playoffs I try to correct them,'' running back Steven Jackson said after another nice day with 139 yards rushing and receiving was wast |

Dallas, which surrendered 536 total yards in front of a national audience, now owns just a one-game lead over both the Giants and Eagles in the NFC East, after both division rivals won on Sunday. New Orleans is now second behind the Chicago Bears for the top spot in the conference, which brings with it home-field advantage. The Cowboys had a chance to take over that spot, but dropped to 8-5 on the season. They have three games left on the schedule, with two at Texas Stadium. "We took a bad b |

The Packers are a Lambeau Leap because, seriously, what else do the people in Green Bay have to look forward to? The Arizona Cardinals are pitiful - always, forever pitiful. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a blue-collar offense led by a bruising, hardnosed running back like Franco Harris, Rocky Bleier or Jerome Bettis. Somewhere between Adam, Eve and the par |
