NFL Bottom 10: Washington makes its way to the top
- Share via
First it was announced that Washington gave quarterback Donovan McNabb a five-year, $78-million contract extension, the most given to a man who lacks cardiovascular endurance.
Then it was revealed that if McNabb is released at the end of the season he actually will get only $3.75 million.
At this rate, by Sunday, he will be paying Washington to play.
His signing so inspired the Skinned that they went out and posted a 0-for-10 mark on third-down conversions en route to a 28-59 pasting by the Philadelphia Eagles.

6. Buffalo (1-8); 7. Cincinnati (2-7); 8. Denver (3-6); 9. Arizona (3-6); 10. Houston (4-5).
Rout of the weak: Green Bay (6-3) over Minnehaha (3-6).
Crummy game of the weak: Detroit (2-7) at Dallas (2-7).
Dishonorable mention: Detroit couldn’t even beat a winless team (Buffalo) on Sunday, losing its 25th straight road game, an NFL record.
