The Buccaneers held the Redskins to 277 yards after surrendering 462, 438 and 397 in losses to Dallas, Buffalo and the New York Giants. Tampa Bay stressed how it wanted to start fast and force turnovers, and it did. It also wanted to limit mistakes, which it didn't.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Not only have the New York Giants been good this year, also call them a little lucky. With Eli Manning facing the prospect of missing his first start since taking over as starting quarterback in the middle of the 2004 season, look who's coming to New Jersey to play Tom Coughlin's unbeaten team. It's none other than Al Davis' hapless Oakland Raiders (1-3), a team whose only victory came against the winless Kansas City Chiefs, and one that has scored nine points in its last two |

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - Eli Manning was back at practice on Friday, testing his injured right foot, and New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin indicated his starting quarterback is questionable for Sunday's game against Oakland. "If he gets to the point that the medical people think he can play and not be subject to an injury, then chances are he will play," Coughlin said. "He wants to play in the worst way but he's not going to go against the medical people." Manning missed the previous two d |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning returned to practice Friday and showed no ill effects of the injured right heel that kept him out the previous two days. Yet the team is still being cautious about his status for Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. Manning is listed as questionable and coach Tom Coughlin said it will more than likely be a game-time decision whether he will play. ``If the medical people think he can play, then he will play,'' Coughlin said. ``We |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning returned to practice and showed no ill effects of the injured heel that kept him out of practice for two days. Manning did the regular exercises with the team Friday, and at one point was leading sprints. He has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis in his right heel. Although Manning seemed to run a little gingerly, he did the regular stretching and squatting. When practice began, reserve David Carr took the first five snaps with the |

It's that showing in the second half against Houston that Oakland is hoping to build on this week when the Raiders travel to New York to play the unbeaten New York Giants. It won't be easy. The Giants are fourth in total offense and sixth in rushing, while the Raiders are 26th defending the run. New York is also the fifth-highest scoring team in the league, averaging 26.8 points a game.

One of three teams without a touchdown rushing, the Chiefs were dominated each of the past two weeks by Philadelphia and the New York Giants. Logically, the Cowboys might be a good chance for them to break through and get a win. Dallas took a 10-0 lead at Denver but wound up losing 17-10 and some critics say the Cowboys have a tendency to self-destruct. ``We can't depend on them to b |
