| New Orleans. His quarterback rating in that defeat (46.6) was the second-lowest of his career. Now, the Falcons (4-3) are trying to snap their first losing streak of the Ryan era when they go up against one of the league's top defensive teams, the Washington Redskins, on Sunday. ``We know he's going to bounce back,'' running back Michael Turner said. ``Matt's cool under pressure. He's not being rattled back there or anything like that. As long as we protect him well and the receivers run nice crisp routes and |

| hings working out like this? ``No,'' Havner said. ``I mean, a lot of opportunities have presented themselves to me, and I'm just trying to take advantage of them. It's been pretty neat. It's been fun.'' Undrafted out of college and waived by the Washington Redskins just before the start of the 2006 season, the Packers signed Havner to their practice squad. He'd go through the same thing the next two seasons, failing to make the Packers' active roster coming out of camp and returning to the practice squad. Th |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The Washington Redskins will use their fourth punter this season when they play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Hunter Smith's right groin injury is acting up again, so the Redskins plan to sign former Dallas punter Sam Paulescu (poh-LEHS-kyoo) on Thursday. Smith pulled the groin in his kicking leg during the Oct. 4 game vs. Tampa Bay. Kicker Shaun Suisham punted for the rest of that game, then Glenn Pakulak was signed to handle the next two games. Smith aggravated his injury in the Phil |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Greg Blache is fed up with criticism of Dan Snyder. The Washington Redskins defensive coordinator broke his media silence Thursday to launch a vigorous defense of the team owner, saying ``Enough's enough.'' Blache said he was moved to speak after reading comments made by Hall of Fame running back John Riggins. In an interview on Showtime's ``Inside the NFL,'' Riggins said Snyder is a ``bad guy'' and that the owner's ``heart is dark.'' Blache described Snyder as ``one of the most generou |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Fred Davis had already paid his airfare to get out of town during the Washington Redskins' bye week vacation. He had even secured a ticket to see his college team, Southern Cal, play at Oregon. USC lost that game, by the way, 47-20. ``Good thing I stayed here,'' Davis said, shaking his head. Davis canceled his travel plans after Chris Cooley broke his right ankle in a loss to Philadelphia before the bye. With Cooley out a month, maybe longer, the 2008 second-round draft pick spent some |

Dallas has lost seven of its nine games versus the Eagles in Philadelphia since 2000 and is 5-13 overall in the series over that time period. WASHINGTON: For a change, the Washington Redskins actually received some positive news during a much-needed bye week that followed a 27-17 home loss to Philadelphia on October 26. Tight end Chris Cooley suffered what was initially feared to be a season- ending fractured right ankle in that game, bu |

CLINTON, Md. (AP) -Dan Snyder says his Washington Redskins have ``let everyone down.'' In a rare, in-season interview with reporters, Snyder said at a charity event that the team is embarrassed by its 2-5 start and hopes to turn things around soon. Snyder has been the subject of much ire from some fans. Signs critical of the owner have been confiscated at recent home games as part of the team's new crackdown on all signs and banners at the stadium. Snyder was asked about the sign ban but did not address t |

When he left the Chicago game, Stafford was just shy of what would have been his first career 300-yard passing day, and was one week removed from an effective performance in his initial NFL win, against the Washington Redskins. In Sunday's 17-10 loss to St. Louis, Stafford looked like a raw rookie again. The top overall draft pick completed just 14-of-33 passes for 168 yards with an interception, though he did rush for the Lions' lone touchdown, and completed a game-tying |
