Week 10: Nail Biters All Around in Tense Weekend
Emmitt Smith's 39 yard TD scamper secured BUD the top spot in the regular
season after only 10 weeks, but money slots 2-4 are still open. The
12 teams in the middle jockeyed for postion in some tense and heartbreaking
games this weekend.

BST 42 BR 37 Terry Kirby's 5 yard TD catch was the big play as BST
held off the BR rally Sunday night. Any other Miami player catching the
pass would have thrown the game to BR. Earlier in that same game, a holding
penalty negated a Tony Martin TD that would have changed the outcome.

JK 41 CZ 39 Eric Pegram's three touchdowns allowed JK to slip past
CZ in another wild game. JK won despite the 49'er combo notching only a
pair of bonus points. CZ has to wonder: He won with 18 last week, but scores
44 and 39 in two other games and loses.

MOS 35 CJ 26 MOS had one of those games where Denver was clicking, and
CJ felt the effects of his Barry Sanders trade. Sanders was kept under wraps
while Detroit was getting waxed, but CZ's Bill Brooks and Eric Metcalf were
scoring. CJ's 3-7 record shakes him out of the pack, and he looks at a likely
high seed opponent in week 14.

BUD 39 BAR 25 "BAR none" continues... The afformentioned Emmitt Smith
had a walk in the park vs PHI with 14 points.  Also tallying 14 for BUD was
Curtis Martin. All this without points from a QB. And do we need to mention
how great BUD's year is and how miserable BAR's is? No.

STP 33 WAL 30 WAL is dropping like a rock: three straight losses and
four of the last five. DAL QB's are spare with their TDs and his recievers
have gotten very quiet. STP finds himself alone in second thanks to the efforts
of Craig Heyward.

DP 36 GTS 34 DP sits in third place with points to spare. Starting TWO
backs for the first time this season, he missed out on 20 points from Brian
Blades and Willie Davis. By the way IRVING FRYAR scored for the first time since
week 2! GTS continues to be plagued by players in street clothes... Michael
Jackson and Fred Barnett didn't play.

OUT 41 TAL 40 This was one of hose games that it took a while to sort
out.   your regular players score on Monday night, and you didn't start him!
It could have been poetic justice that Ricky Watters' 2 yard run was set up
by TAL's Calvin Williams, but no. OUT drops to fourth with his third loss in
four games and wonders if this will cost him a bye in week 14.
