Marvin Lewis made a name for himself as the architect of the <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Baltimore</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> Ravens defense that took Super Bowl glory a few years ago. After getting passed over for a HC job Lewis left the <ST1LACE><ST1LACENAME>Charm</ST1LACENAME> <ST1LACETYPE>City</ST1LACETYPE></ST1LACE> for <ST1:STATE><ST1LACE>Washington</ST1LACE></ST1:STATE> as DC before landing in the <ST1LACE><ST1LACENAME>Queen</ST1LACENAME> <ST1LACETYPE>City</ST1LACETYPE></ST1LACE>.<O></O>
Lewis would have to be proud of the job Gregg Williams has done with a Skins “D” ranked #1 in yards allowed (261 YPG) and #3 in points allowed (16.6 PPG). Offensively the Skins look even worse than the Ravens did under Trent Dilfer as Mark Brunell has the lowest rating in the NFL (67.4). The lefty has completed only 51% of his passes for 1188 yards and 7 TD. <O></O>
<ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Clinton</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> Portis has been solid for Joe Gibbs with 810 yards on 4 YPC and 2 TD. The Skins also have a pair of decent WR to go to in Laveranues Coles and Rod Gardner if only someone could deliver the ball to them. <O></O>
The Bengals are 0-4 SU/ATS on the road as <ST1:CITY><ST1LACE>Carson</ST1LACE></ST1:CITY> Palmer has completed only 56% of his passes for 1680 yards and 6 TD. Palmer has also thrown 10 picks and has been sacked 19 times.<O></O>
