    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (212) 450-2000 * FAX (212) 681-7573 WWW.NFLMedia.com Joe Browne, Executive Vice President-Communications Greg Aiello, Vice President-Public Relations FOR USE AS DESIRED NFC-POW-12 11/29/06 COWBOYS QB TONY ROMO, REDSKINS S SEAN TAYLOR & SEAHAWKS K JOSH BROWN NAMED NFC PLAYERS OF WEEK 12 Quarterback TONY ROMO of the Dallas Cowboys, safety SEAN TAYLOR of the Washington Redskins and kicker JOSH BROWN of the Seattle Seahawks are the NFC Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Players of the Week for games played the 12th week of the 2006 season (November 23, 26-27), the NFL announced today. OFFENSE: QB TONY ROMO, DALLAS COWBOYS • Taking center stage on Thanksgiving, Romo completed 22 of 29 passes (75.9 percent) for 306 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions for a 148.9 passer rating in the Cowboys’ 38-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Romo’s five touchdown passes tied the franchise single-game record and he became the sixth Dallas quarterback to accomplish the feat. The last Cowboy to throw five touchdowns in a game was Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback TROY AIKMAN in 1999. The former Eastern Illinois star connected with wide receiver TERRY GLENN in the first quarter on a 30-yard scoring strike. The Cowboys scored twice in the second quarter on a two-yard TD pass from Romo to Glenn and a one-yard touchdown pass from Romo to running back MARION BARBER. Romo and Barber teamed up again in the third quarter with a two-yard score and Romo’s final TD was a seven-yard toss to wide receiver TERRELL OWENS.

  • Training Camp Tracker by Katie Carrera
    C M Y K E10 DAILY 08-01-07 MD SU E10 CMYK E10 Wednesday, August 1, 2007 S The Washington Post Professional Football MIKE WISE Making Pieces Fit For Peace of Mind here aren’t many more top priorities this preseason for the Washington T Redskins’ offensive line than keeping Jason Campbell upright. One job. That’s it. So whatever cutting-and-pasting Joe Bugel has to do in the wake of Chris Samuels’s injured right knee should be done with the utmost concern for the health and well-being of the 25-year-old starting quarterback. Buges knows this, of course. The man who fed and watered the original Hogs — who was in charge of a line last season that represented a sliver of light amid a nasty storm — now has to find a way to achieve that goal. Samuels going down is the first sign of real adversity of training camp, and while it shouldn’t send the congregation into a panic, it’s enough to create a serious domino effect at the position. Bugel and his boss, Joe Gibbs, have a real dilemma now that Samuels most likely will miss anywhere between three and six weeks (for now, the projected return is a month). Do they gamble at left tackle on a young buck like undrafted Maryland rookie Stephon Heyer, an affable, strapping lad who goes 6 feet 6, 325 pounds — and who, by the way, at 1:30 p.m. yesterday went from Pluto on the depth chart to getting most of the repetitions with the first-team offense? Heyer was so pumped afterward, he actually referred to Jon Jansen and Casey Rabach as “legends.” His promotion, which may not last until tomorrow but also might hold up until Saturday against the Baltimore Ravens in a scrimmage — in which hitting the quarterback is not allowed — is also a sign that neither Jason Fabini, who has started 114 games in his NFL career, nor Taylor Whitley has the complete confidence of the staff at this minute.

  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WERNER ENTERPRISES OUTLAND TROPHY AWARD DINNER SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 9, 2019 For the 22nd consecutive year, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) has awarded Omaha the Outland Trophy Award Dinner presentation. This year the Werner Enterprises Outland Trophy Award Dinner will be held Wednesday, January 9, 2019, at the Downtown DoubleTree Hotel, Omaha, Nebraska. The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards announced on ESPN Thursday, Dec. 6, from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA, that Quinnen Williams from the University of Alabama, is the winner of the 2018 Outland Trophy. This year’s winner and his coach will be in attendance at the Dinner on January 9th. Quinnen Williams, NG, Alabama (6-4, 295, So., Birmingham, AL): The upstart sophomore leads unbeaten Alabama with 14.0 tackles for loss for minus-58 yards and is tied for 11th in the SEC with 5.0 sacks. He too posted a career game against LSU, tallying career highs in tackles (10) and sacks (2.5) and tying a career high in tackles for loss (3.5). Williams clogs the middle and allows those around him to create havoc – Alabama has had at least 10 tackles for loss in five of 10 games and in three straight. The Crimson Tide's 36 sacks (3.60 per game) are both tied for No. 3 nationally. The FWAA awarded the Outland Trophy Award Dinner to the Greater Omaha Sports Committee in 1997. Since that time the Sports Committee has presented the Outland Trophy to Aaron Taylor – NU (’97), Kris Farris –UCLA (’98), Chris Samuels –Alabama (’99), John Henderson
