NFL

Around the NFC

Published December 2, 2003

BEARS: The team lost G Chris Villarrial (ribs) in the first half and T Aaron Gibson (sprained knee) in the second half.

CARDINALS: Rookie Anquan Boldin was held to four catches. His 7-yard reception in the second quarter made him the 12th NFL rookie to go over 1,000 yards receiving.

COWBOYS: After calling November "showtime," coach Bill Parcells referred to the final month as "the home stretch." It starts Sunday in Philadelphia. The division-leading Eagles have won seven straight since losing to the Cowboys. If Dallas wins, the teams would be tied but the Cowboys would own the tiebreaker by having beaten Philadelphia twice.

EAGLES: Panthers RB Stephen Davis ran for 115 yards, the seventh straight game the team has given up 100 or more yards rushing.

FALCONS: QB Michael Vick, who broke his leg in preseason, likely will make his first start Sunday night against Carolina. "The leg feels great, and I'm just looking forward to getting back out there," Vick said a day after he played for the first time, a 17-13 loss at Houston. "It's the same old, same old. Just going out there and playing football."

49ERS: The team has an interception in eight successive games. ... RB Garrison Hearst sprained his right knee in the third quarter and did not return.

GIANTS: CB Will Allen could be sidelined for the rest of the season with a sprained foot. His was one of three serious injuries in the team's fourth consecutive defeat. G Wayne Lucier and TE Marcellus Rivers, who has been starting for the injured Jeremy Shockey, sprained their knees.

LIONS: WR Charles Rogers, who broke his collarbone in practice on Oct. 7, will go on injured reserve this week, ending his rookie season.

PANTHERS: Rookie tight end Mike Seidman will miss the rest of the season with a torn ligament in his left knee.

RAMS: Torry Holt has 25 career 100-yard receiving games, tying Jerry Rice for the most in the first five seasons.

REDSKINS: RB Ladell Betts returned after missing four games with a broken arm.

SAINTS: Deuce McAllister's nine-game 100-yard rushing streak ties him for third all-time with Walter Payton and Fred Taylor; Barry Sanders holds the record with 14.

SEAHAWKS: The offense has posted consecutive 400-yard performances against two of the league's best defenses: Baltimore and Cleveland.

VIKINGS: The team returned home depressed after its 48-17 loss. "I am not happy," coach Mike Tice said. "I'm embarrassed for the organization, for me, for ownership, for the fans and for you, the media, who follow us."
