Baltimore has always been known for its defense, but now with quarterback Joe Flacco leading a balanced attack, the club's offense appears ready to run with the best of them. That should come in handy this Sunday versus the New England Patriots. "We run the ball, we throw it, we just try to keep defenses unbalanced, on their heels," said wide receiver Derrick Mason after Sunday's win. "We don't want to be predictable. We want to go out there and try to attack them. We're not going to let o |

He was relegated to fighting for a backup spot in training camp this summer when Kansas City acquired Matt Cassel from the New England Patriots. However, Brodie Croyle won that job and started the season-opener for the Chiefs while Cassel recovered from a knee injury suffered in the preseason.

Though the team nearly blew a 17-0 first-quarter lead, Buffalo managed to post a 33-20 victory thanks to Terrell Owens' first touchdown in a Bills uniform and a perfect 4- |
