It's not easy to compile a passer rating of 0.00. All the greats have tried. Most have failed.

There was Atlanta's Kurt Kittner. Gave it all he had against the Saints last November, 8-for-27 for 80 yards and two INTs. Way too effective. That's an 8.7.

There was Detroit's Mike McMahon in December, going a brilliant 4-for-11 for 36 yards and an interception against the Panthers. Not quite. That's an 8.1.

There was Oakland's Tee Martin, also last December, completing 2 of 11 passes for 14 yards and an interception against the Chargers. Not good enough. That's still a 1.7.

Jeff Garcia accomplished something this past Sunday that all quarterbacks dream of but few achieve. That elusive combination of a dismal completion percentage, multiple interceptions, no touchdowns and an anemic yardage total that add up to a big giant nothing.

The 0.00 passer rating.

Not 0.01. Not 0.02.

Zero.

Atlanta's Randy Fasani did it in 2002 with a 5-for-18, three-INT, 46-yard masterpiece against the Buccaneers.

Washington's Tim Hasselbeck pulled it off last December with his 6-for-26, four-interception performance against the Cowboys.

But you kind of expect that from Hasselbeck and Fasani.

Garcia entered the Browns' game against the Cowboys with the fourth-highest passer rating in NFL history, trailing only Kurt Warner, Steve Young and Joe Montana.

None of them ever produced a triple-zero, so that makes Garcia the highest-rated QB in NFL history to produce a game this wretched.

Garcia, perhaps still fighting frostbite on his throwing hand from his days with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL, passed 27 times, completed eight, threw three interceptions and in one remarkable three-hour period saw his career rating plummet from 88.4 to 87.2, which dropped him below Peyton Manning and Daunte Culpepper from fourth to sixth on the all-time passer rating list.

Garcia averaged 2.6 yards per pass and 17 yards per quarter. In the second half, he completed as many passes to the Cowboys -- three -- as to the Browns.

Spurgeon Wynn and Mike Pagel would have been proud.

More obscure, bizarre and ridiculous from the NFL's Week 2

• Cowboys QB Vinny Testaverde did something this weekend that Troy Aikman never did, Danny White never did, Roger Staubach never did, something even Steve Pelluer and Jason Garrett never did: Threw for 300 yards in consecutive regular-season games as a Dallas Cowboy.

Testaverde, with his 322-yard performance against the Browns, not only became the first 40-year-old to pass for 300 yards in consecutive games, he became the first Cowboys QB in 38 years to surpass 300 yards in back-to-back regular-season games. Don Meredith threw for 394 yards against the Eagles on Nov. 6, 1966, and 406 against the Redskins seven days later.

Testaverde is the first QB since Warner in 2001 to pass for 300 or more yards the first two weeks of the season. He has more 320-yard games than the Cowboys had in their previous 85 games.

• Dolphins QB A.J. Feeley is the Eric Gagne of football. Not much of a starter but a great a finisher. Sunday was typical Feeley: 12-for-26 for 137 yards, 0 TDs and 2 INTs in the first three quarters, then 9-for-13 for 81 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter. In his career, Feeley has completed 54 percent of his passes with a 69.6 passer rating in quarters 1 through 3 and completed 68 percent of his passes with a 95.0 rating in the fourth quarter ... Redskins RB Clinton Portis hadn't lost a fumble since Oct. 12, 2003, when he was a Bronco, and teammate Mark Brunell hadn't thrown an interception since Dec. 29, 2002, when he was a Jaguar. In the second quarter against the Giants on Sunday, Portis fumbled and Brunell threw an interception 57 seconds apart.

• Testaverde and Garcia were a combined 5-for-18 for 82 yards with 0 touchdowns and 5 interceptions in the final 16 minutes of the Cowboys-Browns game with a combined passer rating of 5.7 ... Ravens RB Jamal Lewis's best game this year is 62 yards. His worst game last year was 68 yards ... Eagles QB Donovan McNabb's sixth touchdown pass this year came on his 62nd pass of the season and in the second game of the year. His sixth TD last year came on his 267th pass in the 10th game of the year

• Bears RB Thomas Jones is averaging 86 yards and 5.3 yards per carry in his last seven games. In his previous 15, he averaged 20 yards per game and 2.8 per carry ... Late in the third quarter of the Redskins-Giants game, Redskins QB Patrick Ramsey had thrown three interceptions in his last 132 passes over seven games. He then threw three interceptions in the span of 11 passes over the next 7:57 ... Warner has no interceptions after two weeks for the first time in his career.
