By sweeping the Super Bowl champs, Browns can trash talk. And if they still played at Municipal Stadium is would be all the more fitting.

SEATTLE 23, at BUFFALO 20

Seahawks win despite Matt Hasselbeck’s “efficient” 16-for-23, 134-yard performance. Those Trent Dilfer lessons are finally rubbing off.

George Seifert’s dark glasses hide the pain of a coach who hopes he soon will wake up from the nightmare that is the Panthers.

Second consecutive underwhelming effort has Rich Gannon feeling ornery in victory. He’s just setting a good example for Jon Gruden.

at PITTSBURGH 20, JACKSONVILLE 7

Kordell Stewart plays his best game in years. It’s easy to be focused with Jonathan Quinn (Medicine Man?) as your counterpart.

at ARIZONA 45, DETROIT 38

It was touch and go there for a while, but order was restored. What could be better than 0-10 by supper time on Thanksgiving?

Bronco-killer Kent Graham comes to the rescue and all of a sudden those Redskin kids are finding ways to win like all good teams do.

ST. LOUIS 24, at NEW ENGLAND 17
