Problem: The Falcons began their season at home in an inter-conference battle with the Miami Dolphins. After a scoreless first quarter, Atlanta took off in the second quarter as quarterback Matt Ryan completed a 1-yard touchdown pass to fullback Ovie Mughelli, followed by kicker Jason Elam making a 36-yard field goal. In the third quarter, the Falcons continued their stellar play as Ryan completed a 20-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tony Gonzalez (with a failed PAT). Atlanta would conclude its well-performed game in the fourth quarter as Elam nailed a 50-yard field goal. Afterwards, the Dolphins would get their only score of the game as quarterback Chad Pennington completed a 9-yard touchdown pass to running back Ricky Williams. Tony Gonzalez (5 receptions, 73 yards, and a TD) would become the 21st player in NFL history to collect 11,000 career receiving yards.

Problem: The Giants needed this division win to keep pace with the Eagles, and they had no trouble getting it. The rushing duo of Bradshaw and Jacobs combined for 200 yards and all four touchdowns (two each) as high winds discouraged Manning's passing game. For the first time this year, the Giants scored on each of their first two drives, taking a 14-point lead before the Redskins even managed a first down. From that point, the New York defense dominated, forcing six fumbles, recovering four, and intercepting two Donovan McNabb passes. Former Redskin Devin Thomas made an impact in his Giants debut by blocking a Hunter Smith punt to set up Tynes' field goal and wrap up a crucial win. Notably, the Giants now held the distinction of being 3-1 all-time against potential Hall of Fame coach Mike Shanahan.

Which team is Mike Shanahan on?
Answer:
Eagles
