MONDAY NIGHT MADNESS!!!
One of the leagues oldest and most revered rivalries returns to Monday Night Football. The Washington Redskins brought back Joe Gibbs to lead their team to victory. Meanwhile, in Dallas, the Cowboys look to legendary coach Bill Parcells to bring them back to the glory days of old. Both teams are starting the season at 1-1, and both are looking to make a statement on their first Monday Night game of the year.

Gibbs and Parcells, between the two of them, have five Super B rings and seven Conference Championships. Unfortunately for their respective teams, neither Dallas nor Washington has seen much post season action as of late.
Parcells will look to his crafty, old veteran, QB Vinny Testerverde, to take the helm and air it out to his newest addition, WR Keyshawn Johnson. Johnson will likely be open against the smaller backs, especially underneath, as WRs Terry Glenn and Antonio Bryant will look to stretch the field and taking the safeties with them. Although RB Eddie George has lagged in production over the past years, look for George to step up and have a solid performance, now that his back-up has been put on the IR.
On the other side of the ball, the Dallas Defense will look to keep QB Patrick Ramsey in check. With starting QB Mark Brunell questionable, you can count on this defense to put his backup to the test. The Redskins have also become a rejuvenated team with their "new/old" coach back in charge. Gibbs, the Redskins most winningest coach, wants his Washington team to bounce back from a disappointing loss last weekend. RB Clinton Portis has proved to be a tremendous addition to the ranks, and should be a dominant factor in this week's game, assuming that Ramsey can get the passing game started by utilizing WR Ron Gardner. If Ramsey and Gardner get a good start, Portis should be able to take over.
With neither team playing stellar defense to start of the 2004-2005 campaign, look for both quarterbacks to air it out early. If they can stretch the defenses, their powerful running backs can set the tone for the ground game. Although, on the ground, Washington has the advantage....Dallas clearly owns long ball threat. Who will prevail and pull out the victory in front of a packed house at FedEx Field in Landover, MD??? Time will tell.
Cowboys and Redskins....back on Monday Night!!!!
