Games to watch
• Cowboys (5-2) at Eagles (5-2): The winner will take charge of the NFC East. Philly is 2-0 in the conference with wins the past two weeks against the Redskins and Giants, and its offense was dynamic against New York. Young receivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin and tight end Brent Celek will be difficult matchups for the Cowboys.
Dallas has won three straight with a revved-up offense and a revitalized pass rush. Miles Austin has done everything Terrell Owens might have -- and a lot more quietly.
• Chargers (4-3) at Giants (5-3): Back in 2004, these franchises made big news off the field with a draft-day trade after the Chargers grabbed Eli Manning at the top of the proceedings and the Giants took N.C. State's Philip Rivers fourth. They have yet to face each other.
Right now, Rivers is outplaying Manning, whose Giants have lost three in a row. Rivers gets to face a porous New York secondary, but he also has a suspect offensive line that must neutralize defensive ends Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora.
Ravens (4-3) at Bengals (5-2): A chance for the Bengals to legitimize their status as contenders comes this week and next, when they are at Pittsburgh. Cincinnati had a bye on the same weekend Baltimore was re-establishing itself by handing Denver its first defeat.
In their last meeting, the Ravens blew a late lead at home to the Bengals, keying Cincy's winning drive with some awful penalties. Carson Palmer, Cedric Benson and Chad Ochocinco have been making opponents pay for such things all year.
