Nil from Page 21 at san Francisco and Washington at san Diego. Chicago plays Green Bay monday night. Washington 2-0 at san Diego 1-1 this is the other half of the giants raiders redskins chargers round Robin played in the East last week moving West this week. It s a Streak game. Washington has won eight in a Row against acc teams six or those on the Road and also has five straight Road wins. San Diego has won seven straight at Home. The chargers who beat Miami 50-28 the first week Are embarrassed about what happened to their supposedly unstoppable offence in the Meadowlands. Now they face a team that has t Given up a touchdown for six straight quarters. All of which inspires Washington coach Joe Gibbs who lost linebacker Mel Kaufman and running Back Kelvin Bryant to injuries last week to say the giants have done the same thing to us. I know what kind of football team Well be facing out there sunday. The fact that they lost to the giants probably is the worst thing that could have happened to Seattle 2-0 at new England 2-0 one of these weeks someone will score a touchdown against the patriots who have allowed just nine Points in their first two games and arc looking like they re prime material for a return trip to the super bowl something no acc team has done in seven years. The sea Hawks Haven t exactly sloughed off defensively it took them five minutes into the seventh Quarter of the season before they yielded a to. This week they have a Chance to show they re not the 1985 sea Hawks who won two then lost two for the entire 16 weeks of the season. The key two in and out quarterbacks who have been More in than out this season Tony Eason and Dave Kring. Miami 1-1 at new York jets 1-1 a key game even on the third week of the season because it puts the loser in the Chase Mode for the immediate future. An interesting sidelight when Miami s Dan Marino throws his eighth pass he will have 1,500 for his career and become the top rated passer in National football league history ahead of Joe Montana. Marino will be throwing against a new York secon Dary that s already going the Way of last year s one injury after another. Jerry Holmes Back from the United slates football league and recovered from a sprained ankle Steps in As the latest answer at the battered left Corner. Atlanta 2-0 at Dallas 2-0 the Falcons Are a much better team than we faced last year says Dallas coach Tom Landry of a team that has already reached 50 percent of last year s win total. Moreover surprisingly David Archer has the top passing rating in the pfc. But Dallas is a mite tougher than the Falcons two victims. New Orleans and St. Louis. The cowboys seem to have been rejuvenated by the presence of Herschel Walker. Tony Dorset his Job Security threatened bounced Back from a sprained ankle to run for 117 Yards against Detroit and Walker managed to average 8.5 Yards per carry. Denver 2-0 at Philadelphia 0-2 the Broncos try to wrap up he six Day Conquest of Pennsylvania against a team that May have spent its emotion in the win one for buddy game they lost last week in overtime to the bears. Eagles coach buddy Ryan who spent training Camp Quick six a prom Cleveland s Felix Wright 22 blocks a punt by Cincinnati s Jeff Hayes thursday night. Frank Minnie Field recovered the Ball in the end zone for a touch Down in the game at Cleveland. The underdog bengals surprised their intrastate rivals with a 30-13 Victory cutting and demoting veterans is starting to bring them Back Kenny Jackson will Start at wide receiver again and Michael Haddix is once again the fullback. Can tight end John Spagnola be far behind Chicago 2-0 at Green Bay 0-2 the season is Only two games old and the packers already look like a team competing for the top draft pick. What they have going for them Here is resentment. In the first game last year the bears unleashed Wil Liam the refrigerator Perry As a fullback in the second they unleashed him As a pass receiver and the two teams ended up in a Brawl. But half of these pack ers d9n t remember anyway Forrest Gregg s House cleaning cleared out More than 20 of the Guys who were there. Quarterback Jim Mcmahon May be Back but docs it make any difference St. Louis 0-2 at Buffalo 0-2 can this be the week that Jim Kelly leads the Bills to their first win of the season and their fifth in the last 35 regular season games it almost came last week but the Bills blew a 10-Point fourth Quarter Lead in Cincin Nati then lost in overtime when Kelly threw an interception. The cardinals somebody sometime has got to whip somebody coach Gene stalling says of his defense. Is there anything wrong with that every once in a while you whip the Guy who is trying to Block you and make the los Angeles rams 2-0 at Indianapolis 0-2 the rams Are Back on last year s wave length winning and Boring people to death at the same time. Jim Everett won t be ready for another year yet so Steve Bartkowski s Knees will probably have to stand up for the rest of the season. Rookie Jack Trudeau is it for the Colts now that Gary hog Boom s gone. The rams Are not the easiest of teams to debut against. New Orleans 1-1 it san Francisco 1-1 despite the falloff from Joe Montana to Jeff Kemp the 49crs arc still a Quality team. The saints who picked off seven Green Bay passes last week remain a building team although the building process May be seeded up under Jim Mora. Two items Kemp did t do half bad last week 19 of 24 for 252 Yards and the saints traditionally Don t do half bad against the 49crs. Every once in a while. New Orleans wins one like their 20-17 Victory at candlestick last year. Houston 1-1 at Kansas City 1-1 two improved teams but the oilers improvement probably Means More than the chiefs it s a lot easier to become a contender in the acc Central than in the acc West. But Houston still has growing pains like giving up the big play at the wrong time last week a 55-Yard touchdown pass by Cleveland s Bernie Kosa with 2 10left. Pittsburgh 0-2 at Minnesota 1-1 the St Celers May be better off on the Road Pitts Burgh is used to better and there arc fans there who think they d do better bringing Terry Bradshaw and Franco Harris out of retirement. The Vikings defense which allowed Detroit to Rush for More than 224 Yards allowed Tampa Bay Only 83 on the ground. On the other hand that May say More about Tampa Bay than Minnesota. Tampa Bay 0-2 at Detroit 1-1 if at first you Don t succeed. The bucs have played the first two weeks like they want to try for the first pick in the draft again after losing to Jackson to baseball. The Lions Only played that Way last week against Dallas losing three fumbles and netting Only 184 Yards.
