PITTSBURGH - Pre-kickoff squibs from the 101st Backyard Brawl, in which West Virginia has won eight of the last 10 meetings with Pitt in the Steel City (at three sites):

PHILADELPHIA - After 10 years, Donovan McNabb has learned to rely on a few rules for life in the fishbowl that houses NFL quarterbacks.

Player of the Year

For only the second time this season, the Eagles failed to register a quarterback sack in Thursday night's 48-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

--Running back Brian Westbrook notched only his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season, collecting 110 yards on 22 carries.

PLAYER NOTES --G Max Jean-Gilles fractured his ankle in Thursday's win over Arizona.

They lost two key starters from their Super Bowl run, and still the Giants' defense is getting the job done.

The groundwork for the modern National Football League was laid in 1966, when owners from the NFL and the upstart American Football League agreed to a merger.
