Onside kicks: 10/10/04
Sunday, October 10, 2004

Miami's offense is so-o-o-o bad that it has scored two touchdowns in four games -- one fewer than it has allowed on three interceptions returned for scores.

Miami's offense is so-o-o-o bad that the Dolphins' 32 points in four games is a feat accomplished nine times in single games by Dan Marino's offense during the 1984 season.

Tight end Eric Johnson leads the 49ers with 28 receptions. Steelers tight ends have combined for four catches. The moral? Maybe it's don't throw to the tight end because the Steelers are 3-1 and the 49ers 0-4.

Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney leads the league with seven sacks, a pace of 28 that would smash Michael Strahan's record. That on-pace stuff, though, is hard to keep up.

Philadelphia is the only team to win its four games by at least 10 points each, quite a stat except the Falcons are the only other team with four wins.

Emmitt Smith's 290 yards rushing is his best start after four games since 1999, when he had 409.

Rudi Johnson's 123 yards rushing last week were the most by a Cincinnati back against the Steelers since 1989.

Rayfield Wright and Cliff Harris will join the Cowboys' Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium, a group that now includes 14.

Washington offensive tackle Ray Brown, who turns 42 in December, is the last of the 1987 replacement players still in the league.
