Washington - Upon hearing of Tim Russert's death, Gianmarc Manzione had no idea what shocked him more - the passing of the seemingly vital journalist or that the news reduced him to tears. The Tampa, Fla., English professor abruptly ended a road trip with his girlfriend to attend Russert's wake yesterday in Washington. He stood in line with hundreds of viewers similarly, inexplicably moved - people who had never met the host of NBC's Meet the Press but who had watched him, respected him and shared an hour of their lives with him every Sunday morning.

Only days removed from Willis McGahee's much-anticipated return to Buffalo, all of the swagger has disappeared from the Ravens' running back. During his 20-question session with reporters yesterday, McGahee repeatedly showed his uneasiness about reliving his acrimonious divorce from the Buffalo Bills, whether it was swaying back and forth nervously, fidgeting with his gloves or carefully measuring his words. So, what are your feelings toward Buffalo? "Buffalo is a nice city," he said.

But with that self-described "ugly" victory, it seemed the Ravens took a step backward rather than forward ... about six years backward.

ASHBURN, Va. -- As he waited for the airport to open after an autumn storm piled two feet of snow on Buffalo, N.Y., three weeks ago, Troy Vincent's cell phone kept ringing.

"Finally, it means something," said Williams, the hefty defensive tackle. The Bills, however, aren't yet in the postseason for the first time since 1999, and they need help to get there. But few thought it would come to this after the Bills' 0-4 start. "Tom Jackson, Michael Irvin, we were the joke," said cornerback Troy Vincent, referring to two ESPN broadcasters.

A Ravens offense devoid of electricity - and now Jamal Lewis - plods along today into M&T Bank Stadium in search of a big play, a touchdown and a dose of respect. The NFL's two-game suspension of Lewis begins against the Buffalo Bills (1-4), taking away 245 pounds of brute force and 40 percent of the Ravens' total offense. Lewis pleaded guilty earlier this month to using a cell phone to set up a drug transaction before he became a Raven. Left in his absence is a pressing question: Can the Ravens' already struggling offense survive without him?

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins have made road games their own version of the Rubik's Cube, the SATs and brain surgery all wrapped into one.

Today's 4:15 game between the Redskins (3-3) and the Buffalo Bills (3-3) at Ralph Wilson Stadium marks the beginning of a five-game stretch during which Washington will play four away from FedEx Field.
