INSIDE THE NFL
The Buzz

1. The Quarter Back The Broncos' Terrell Davis has three
100-yard rushing quarters this season. Only Jim Brown (104.3)
has had a career average of at least 100 yards on the ground per
game; in three-plus seasons Davis has averaged 101.2. He is 25,
and, barring catastrophic injury or the loss of his migraine
medicine, he can start working on his speech for Canton.
2. A Pathetic Waste Four weeks ago Redskins defensive tackle
Dana Stubblefield got in coach Norv Turner's face and asked what
he was going to do about the team's smelly play. Hey Stubby: The
fish stinks from the head. The Skins paid you and fellow tackle
Dan Wilkinson $13 million in signing bonuses alone during the
off-season, and the two of you have combined for 30 solo tackles
and 2 1/2 sacks. How bad is the defense? Leading 24-10 midway
through the fourth quarter on Sunday and pinned at their own
four-yard line, the Cowboys called 11 straight running plays,
the last a six-yard touchdown run by Chris Warren, who along
with Emmitt Smith ran for more than 100 yards.
3. Coming Attractions In the span of 35 days beginning this
Monday night, Jacksonville, which used to be a big Dolphins town,
plays its two biggest home games ever: against the Dolphins and
the Buccaneers.
