Times NFL writer Sam Farmer poses--and answers--the burning questions for this week’s games:

Q: Which young quarterback is better, Daunte Culpepper or Donovan McNabb?

A: We’ll find out Nov. 11 when the Vikings visit the Eagles.

Q: Any teams catching a big-time break early in the season?

A: The Chargers. None of their first five opponents--Washington, Dallas, Cincinnati, Cleveland and New England--finished with a winning record last season.

Q: What did Marty Mornhinweg do to deserve the Detroit coaching job?

A: Matt Millen, the new Lion general manager, said he prayed for the right answer and Mornhinweg’s name kept popping up. Mornhinweg’s response? God was right.

Q: What’s the toughest part of coaching the Redskins for Marty Schottenheimer?

A: No more ripping Dan Snyder or Jeff George like he did on TV.

Q: How did Raider Coach Jon Gruden crack People Magazine’s list of 50 most beautiful people?
