Last year, the New Orleans Saints and San Diego Chargers spent almost a week in London getting acclimated to the time change, but the Patriots and Buccaneers arrived late - much like the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins did two years ago. ``What we tried to do was to get all our work done in New England, all our preparation,'' Belichick said of the late arrival. ``We tried to cram three days ... into 2 1/2 (before arriving).''

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning participated fully in practice on Thursday after being limited during Wednesday's practice. Manning (foot) has amassed 1,390 passing yards and 11 touchdowns to just three interceptions this year.

Running back Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle/foot), who was limited during Wednesday's practice, was held out on Thursday. |

An out- of-sync offense converted a woeful 2-of-16 third-down opportunities and repeatedly bogged down within the red zone, while quarterback Donovan McNabb was sacked six times by an Oakland pass rush that was surprisingly pote |

It was day and night from the previous week, when Oakland was handed an embarrassing 44-7 road loss to the New York Giants. So like all teams in the NFL, the Raiders studied the film and redeemed themselves with an unexpected triumph in front of the home faithful. The Raiders used a lot of zone coverages on Sunday, but blitzed often in that package to throw the Eagles o |

| k) - It's official. The New Orleans Saints are the team to beat in the NFC, even if they won't admit it themselves. "I don't think you can talk big picture yet," said head coach Sean Payton after Sunday's 48-27 victory over the previously undefeated New York Giants, leaving New Orleans and Minnesota as the only teams left in the conference without a loss.
