Series Notes
21st regular-season meeting. Redskins lead 14-5-1 not counting their 1991 playoff victory that provided the most memorable matchup. Known as "The Seat Cushion Game" in Washington, the Redskins humbled Deion Sanders and the cocky, young Falcons 24-7 with a dominating performance in the rain at RFK Stadium. The fans celebrated by flinging their seat cushions onto the field as the Redskins advanced to the NFC Championship Game.

Series Notes
85th regular-season meeting. Dolphins lead series 48-36, not including 1-2 mark in the postseason. The Patriots have won 10 of the last 15 meetings but last year Miami snapped New England's 21-game regular-season winning streak with a 38-13 victory in Foxboro when they unleashed the Wildcat on an unsuspecting Patriots' defense and gained 461 yards. The Patriots won the rematch in Miami 48-28 with Matt Cassel throwing for 415 yards and 3 TDs.

Series Notes
88th regular-season meeting. The Bears lead 55-26-6 and have won the last three. The teams last met in 2006 and, in Arizona, the game is known as The Monday Night Meltdown. The Cardinals (1-4) at the time led the undefeated Bears, 23-3. But they let the Bears score three touchdowns in the final quarter to lose, 24-23. That touched off former coach Dennis Green's famous post-game rant. "You want to crown them, go ahead and crown their asses," he said, his voice rising. "But they are exactly who we thought they are, and we let them off the hook."

Series Notes
28th regular-season meeting. Ravens lead series 15-12. The Ravens had lost three straight at Cincinnati before winning there last season. The Ravens lost the earlier meeting with the Bengals last month, 17-14. With the help of three defensive penalties by the Ravens, Cincinnati drove 80 yards down the field in the final two minutes. Andre Caldwell's 20-yard touchdown catch won the game with 22 seconds remaining.

In last year's regular-season finale, the Panthers defeated the Saints 33-31 to capture the NFC South division championship.
