The close friends and former college teammates will be on opposite sidelines for the third time in four years Sunday when the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) host the New York Jets (2-2). ``It's actually weird,'' Pennington said. ``It's been weird for us to play against each other because we were teammates, and so when you see each other on the other side, you get a weird feeling, like I'm playin |

Both were left dumbfounded as Moss came down with the catch and ran untouched for a 68-yard touchdown to win the game in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars. When Brunell threw the pass, Gibbs heard one of his assistants in his headset yell, ``Don't go there!'' Once Moss caught it, the yell changed to, ``OK, go there!'' Brunell said the pass was so risky he will probably be advised by coaches never to |

Joe Gibbs' team has won two in a row and it is coming off an impressive 36-30 overtime win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team that was supposed to have one of the top defenses in the league. Washington shredded them for 481 yards, including 329 passing by Mark Brunell. Moss did the big damage, catching four passes for 138 yards and three touchdowns, including a g |

His three-touchdown performance in Sunday's overtime victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars was enough to give goose bumps to anyone who has played the position. ``Moss is the silent assassin,'' fullback Mike Sellers said Monday. ``He just puts in the work, doesn't say nothing. Even if he burns you, he won't talk trash to you. He'll just |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell practiced Friday for the first time this week and plans to start Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ``I feel good. I practiced today, so I expect to play on Sunday,'' Brunell said. ``The arm improved over the course of the week.'' The left-handed Brunell needed three stitches to repair a nasty cut in his throwing elbow following last week's victory against the Houston Texans. He has kept the arm wrapped all week to prevent infection |

| ``Believe me, there aren't very many things that you don't like about the way he plays. He's special.'' Part of the Colts' early struggles could be from playing two defenses expected to be among the league's top units, the New York Giants and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jets, who rank 30th overall in defense, have been a surprise for two reasons - the resurgent Chad Pennington and an opportunistic defense that has given New York the third-best turnover margin in the league - plus-five. It's pure Patriots, |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -In a perfect world, Byron Leftwich would be the quarterback for the Washington Redskins, and Mark Brunell would still be the quarterback for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Leftwich grew up on 58th Street in Southeast Washington. He and his older brother would cry when the Redskins lost. They'd play in the street Sunday afternoon, re-enacting their favorite plays from the game they just saw on television. Sometimes Leftwich would sneak into RFK Stadium to watch the games in person, aided by a ti |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Washington Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell tested his itchy, injured elbow with a few 20-yard tosses at the end of practice Thursday. He remained probable for Sunday's game against his old team, the Jacksonville Jaguars. ``He threw today. He's going to practice tomorrow,'' trainer Bubba Tyer said. The left-handed Brunell cut the elbow on his throwing arm during last week's 31-15 victory over the Houston Texans. He needed three stitches to close the wound and has kept the arm tightly wrap |

The Redskins were able to overcome the barrage of penalties in the matchup with the woeful Texans, but they know they can't make the same mistakes this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. At least the linemen have Thomas' kitty for motivation. Not only did no one have to add to the pot this week, but Samuels won some of his cash back as a prize for the best hit - a downfield block during a screen pass to tight end Chris Cooley. |

He said none of the three was involved in the beating.
