| Woodson struggled against San Francisco's Terrell Owens last week. "We did everything we could to stop Owens," said Callahan. "We put CHarles Woodson on him one-on-one, we had double coverage, we had bracket coverage. We had every conceivable coverage known to man, but he continued to break our secondary down." That sort of effort doesn't give much hope for Monday, since McCaffrey, Rod Smith and Shannon Sharpe are able to beat all sorts of coverages. COMING UP: The Raiders host the New England Patriots in Week 11. |

Denver took last Sunday off following its second straight win in Week 8, a 24-16 victory over the New England Patriots. In the wake of Oakland's collapse, the Broncos are viewed by many as the top team in the AFC. Head coach Mike Shanahan has a well-documented disdain for the Raiders, and he would love to knock the Silver and Black down a little further in the stand |

I think so, in a big way." LB Brian Urlacher is a tackling machine and Rosevelt Colvin has seven sacks on the season, so it won't be easy for McNabb and Staley. However, there are just too many holes in Chicago's defense to prevent the Eagles from another balanced showing. COMING UP: The Bears host the New England Patriots in Week 10. |
