ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Retired for nearly five years, Sherman Lewis was about to go to the senior center to call a bingo game when the Washington Redskins phoned. Lewis, therefore, left behind one set of ``I's'' - I-18? I-20? - and instead became a ``fresh set of eyes,'' inserting himself in an awkward situation with a struggling team. Less than 24 hours after getting the call at his home in the outer Detroit suburbs, the longtime NFL assistant was on the field Wednesday observing Redskins practice - with all s |

The end result, however, turned out to be more of the same for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Johnson's initial pass in Sunday's clash with the Washington Redskins landed in the arms of wide receiver Antonio Bryant for an eight-yard touchdown, the sophomore signal-caller's first-ever scoring strike in a regular-season game. Johnson produced few other significant plays in his starting debut, however, and the Bu |

The Chiefs will play the third of four straight meetings with the NFC East this Sunday at home versus the Dallas Cowboys, followed by a trip to the nation's capital against the Washington Redskins. All four teams in that division enjoy Haley's forte in passing the football, something Kansas City's secondary has gotten used to the past few weeks. The Giants had 273 passing yards one week after Philly scorched the Chiefs for 327 passing yards. |

WASHINGTON (AP) -Their offense languishing, unable to make much headway even against the NFL's worst defenses, the Washington Redskins called in some help Tuesday for coach Jim Zorn. They also made sure to point out, at least publicly, that they don't consider the new employee to be Zorn's replacement-in-waiting. The Redskins hired longtime NFL assistant Sherman Lewis as an offensive consultant, offering a ``fresh set of eyes'' to a team that ranks 27th in the league in scoring. Lewis has coached for 22 y |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -An MRI on Monday confirmed that Hunter Smith pulled a groin on his first punt in Sunday's 16-13 win over Tampa Bay. So the Washington Redskins might have to live without Hunter the Punter for a while. Coach Jim Zorn said the injury is not ``severe,'' but the team is planning to audition out-of-work punters on Tuesday to find a possible fill-in before next week's game against Carolina. Even if he can't punt against the Panthers, Smith could still play in the game as the holder on field g |
