FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NFL-REG-13 11/28/06

FINAL MONTH OF SEASON RATCHETS UP THE PRESSURE; THREE DIVISION TITLES CAN BE DECIDED THIS WEEK; BENGALS-RAVENS KICKS IT OFF THURSDAY NIGHT

December’s coming. In the NFL, that means things are about to get really hot.

“We’ve got a lot of football left to play,” says Broncos . Five weeks, to be exact. In that time, clubs that seem to have things locked up sometimes slip up. Teams trying to hang on suddenly take off. It’s the NFL way.

Right now, in five of the eight divisions, no more than two games separate the first- and second-place clubs, and in four of those divisions, those teams still have to play each other.

“It’s difficult, because there’s such parity between the teams,” says safety MADIEU WILLIAMS. “Each team is so evenly matched week in and week out.” It sure will seem that way for the next five weeks.

In Week 13, three teams can clinch their divisions. The rundown:

• can clinch the AFC North with a win.

• BEARS can clinch the NFC North with a win or tie.

• can clinch the AFC South with a win, or a Jacksonville loss, or an Indianapolis tie and a Jacksonville tie. The Colts can earn a playoff berth with three different scenarios.

Some of the key games in Week 13, which kicks off on Thursday night:

BALTIMORE RAVENS (9-2) at CINCINNATI BENGALS (6-5) (Thursday, NFL Network, 8:00 PM ET)

STORYLINE: Don’t spot them 17!

That’s what happened in the first week of November the first time these AFC North rivals met. Four minutes into the game, the Ravens had a 14-0 lead, one that grew to 17-0 before an eventual 26-20 Baltimore win. That was the Ravens’ second victory in their current five-game winning streak.

Baltimore knows Cincinnati will come out gunning. Bengals QB , with three TD passes in each of the last three games, has been lethal to WR in those games. With 573 receiving yards in them, Johnson is second in history only to Houston’s CHARLEY HENNIGAN (612 yards in 1961) in a three-game span. The duo will go against a defense that leads the league in with 20.

Baltimore is second in the NFL to San Diego in sacks (39 to 41) and comes off a nine-sack game against Pittsburgh. Do something like that, said Ravens LB , and “you send a message to the next team you play.”

Big-time matchup to watch: Bengals RDE JUSTIN SMITH (6.5 sacks) vs. LT JONATHAN OGDEN.

****************************************************************************************************************************************** NFL FACTOID

SUCCESSIVE DOUBLE SHUTOUTS: It happened only twice in 20 years. This Sunday, it will occur for the second consecutive week. When Baltimore plays Cincinnati, it will mark the second week in a row (Chicago vs. New England in Week 12) that teams coming off shutouts face each other. It happened only twice before since 1980 (12/14/86, San Diego vs. Seattle; and 12/14/03, Jacksonville vs. New England). ******************************************************************************************************************************************

SAN DIEGO CHARGERS (9-2) at (5-6)

STORYLINE: Slow down LT.

’Cause it’s nearly impossible to stop LA DAINIAN TOMLINSON completely. The San Diego RB is on pace to break the NFL season TD record of 28. He has 24 with five games to go. Twenty-one of those scores have come in the Chargers’ last seven games. And he has a career-best five 100-yard rush games in a row.

Whatever game plan Buffalo defensive coordinator PERRY FEWELL develops, it’s up to the players, says Bills DT LARRY TRIPPLETT, to follow it closely. “It’s us having faith in the scheme and being where we’re supposed to be,” Tripplett says. “The scheme is going to make plays for us.”

Aside from the “LT” show, the spotlight also will be on the first meeting of two 2004 first-round who rank in the top 10 in NFL completion percentage. San Diego’s (No. 4 overall in ’04) has completed 65.0 percent of his passes (ranked fourth) and Buffalo’s J.P. LOSMAN (No. 22 in ’04) has connected on 63.8 percent (ranked eighth).

The Bills – who played the Chargers twice a year in the early days of the AFL -- will wear their ’60s uniforms.

DALLAS COWBOYS (7-4) at (6-5)

STORYLINE: Lots of good angles in this one.

First of all, it’s a division battle for first. And right now, the Giants hold the tiebreaker, having defeated in Week 7 when Cowboys QB saw his first NFL action. In fact, the Giants have a perfect NFC East record (3-0).

Sunday, Romo -- who went from that game to excite Dallas fans by building a 4-1 record with wins in his last three outings – will, for the first time, face a team for the second time. So his moves will not be a surprise to the Giants.

Nor will be TIKI BARBER’s to the Cowboys. Barber – fourth in the league in rushing (1,080 yards) – is the only RB this season to break 100 yards against Dallas’ fourth-ranked NFL rush defense. And he’s due. After five 100-yarders in six games, Barber has been under 100 the past two weeks.

Another Barber – Dallas’ MARION BARBER – pairs up with JULIUS JONES for a potent Cowboys rushing attack. Close to the goal line, Barber is the man. He leads the NFC in rush TDs with nine, with all but one at five yards or less.

With all the drama of their loss last week to Tennessee, the Giants are re-focused. “We’re upset about that game,” says center SHAUN O’HARA, “but we realize the urgency we need to have for this game.”

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (7-4) at (7-4) (Sunday, NBC, 8:15 PM ET)

STORYLINE: They’re back…and he’s starting.

That’s as in , MATT HASSELBECK…and .

The first two played their first game together for Seattle since September 24 on Monday night, and after some first-half rust for QB Hasselbeck in his first action since October 22, it seemed like old times. Hasselbeck threw for three second- half TDs in a 34-24 win over Green Bay. Alexander became only the third RB in history to rush 40 times for 200 yards in a game (40 carries, 201 yards; , 1977, and , 1997).

Last year’s NFC Champion looks like it is primed for the playoff push. “Hopefully, this is just the start of what we can do,” says Seahawks rookie CB KELLY JENNINGS. “Now we have to build from this.”

They will start that building against a rookie QB who will play in his first NFL game – new Broncos starter JAY CUTLER, the team’s 2006 first-round selection from Vanderbilt.

Denver hopes to spark the Broncos’ offense for the December push with the strong- armed Cutler, who is the first rookie QB to start for Denver in 14 years ( on December 12, 1992).

CAROLINA PANTHERS (6-5) at (5-6) (Monday, ESPN, 8:30 PM ET)

STORYLINE: Stop Julius. Watch Brian.

Those are two of the main jobs for each team Monday night as both clubs seek to forget about last week’s losses and concentrate on the next five games, period.

The Eagles and QB JEFF GARCIA will have to handle the league’s top sacker, DE (11.0). He is often double-teamed, which opens up lanes for other defenders.

Those defenders will have to watch that doesn’t run by them. The RB has four 100-yard rush outings in his past five games, including three in a row. WEEK 13 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30
