COWBOYS @REDSKINS Sunday, 8:20p.m. TV: Chs. 11, 4 Radio: 980AM Line: Redskins by 3 The Washington Redskins should know by the time they take the field Sunday night at FedEx Field to face the Dallas Cowboys whether the game will be a playoffs-or-bust deal for them. The Redskins and Cowboys will be playing with the NFC East title at stake. The NFL announced Sunday night that the game was being moved to 8:20 p.m. under the sport's flexible-scheduling arrangement with NBC. So while there is a scenario in which the Redskins could reach the NFC playoffs as a wild-card team even if they lose to the Cowboys, it already will have played out before the prime-time game in Landover.

Anne Arundel County Executive Janet S. Owens made one of the most important appointments of her four months in office yesterday when she named a 26-year police veteran the county's new chief.P. Thomas Shanahan, 45, who has been acting police chief since Owens took office, has worked for the county since he was a teen-ager and has demonstrated strong leadership skills, Owens said.Shanahan, who started working at the department as a cadet at age 19, earned a master's degree in applied behavioral sciences from the Johns Hopkins University in 1996 and has been deputy chief, patrol captain and sergeant in the homicide unit.

Proving that there are no sure things, San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Mike Shanahan announced yesterday that he was going to stay with the team rather than accept an offer to become head coach of the Denver Broncos.Shanahan's decision, which would have been a complete surprise a week ago, opened the door in Denver for Wade Phillips, a drawling, wisecracking son of former Houston Oilers and New Orleans Saints coach Bum Phillips, to become the Broncos' new head coach.Keeping Shanahan means that the 49ers will not have to hire their third offensive coordinator in three years, but it will cost them.

— In a performance befitting their dismal, error- and injury-filled campaign, the Washington Redskins stumbled their way through a 34-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in their final game of the season Sunday. Rex Grossman kept team and individual turnover streaks intact with his 20th interception of the season. Poor tackling and breakdowns in pass coverage led to big scoring plays for the Eagles (8-8). Ineffective red zone play and penalties kept the Redskins from scoring themselves.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan made a surprise move Sunday, benching former Ravens backup John Beck and returning to Rex Grossman as the team's starting quarterback in an attempt to spark his struggling offense and end a four-game losing streak. It didn't do the trick. Washington managed to move the ball a little better but still could not score touchdowns and fell, 20-9, to the Dolphins, giving Shanahan the first five-game losing streak of his coaching career and the Redskins their first such streak since 2001.

The Stanley Cup has been hugged, kissed and photographed thousands of times and dented at least once since June, when the Bruins defeated the Canucks to win their first championship since 1972. Fixing the damage caused when the Cup fell off a table was simple. Now the Bruins have the hard job: defending it. The NHL season begins Thursday with three games, including the Bruins playing host to the Flyers, and the Penguins — minus concussion victim Sidney Crosby — in Vancouver.

— It was only a beginning for John Beck and the Washington Redskins, and doubts about the inexperienced quarterback surely will linger after his first preseason start. But this much was revealed: The former Ravens backup seems capable of running coach Mike Shanahan's offense. Beck knows what offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan expects of him. The Shanahans' confidence in Beck, privately questioned even among employees at Redskins Park, might not be crazy after all. In an efficient preseason debut Friday night, Beck didn't do anything to embarrass himself or his mentors during a 16-3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Wide receiver Antonio Bryant was released Sunday by the Cincinnati Bengals, who signed him to a four-year, $28 million deal in March thinking he would be their long-term complement to Chad Ochocinco . It's the second time in two years that the Bengals went after a high-profile free agent receiver, then changed their minds soon after signing him. They got Laveranues Coles to replace T.J. Houshmandzadeh last year, then released him...

LANDOVER, Md. — It isn't just how you practice that matters to Mike Shanahan. How you park your car counts too. Shanahan, the Redskins' new coach, runs an organized and efficient program that adheres strictly to the book. His book. That became even more apparent recently when Dan Steinberg, who writes the D.C. Sports Bog for WashingtonPost.com, detailed some of the training camp rules Shanahan has for his players. Some of them are predictable: Players are required to run — not walk — to and from the huddle, on and off the field and 5 yards past the ball during drills.

The Washington Redskins announced that training camp will be held at Redskins Park for the eighth straight year. Mike Shanahan said when he was hired as coach in January that he liked the idea of going away for training camp, but he has since changed his mind, citing the facility's meeting space, practice fields and proximity to fans. The large crowds have caused some logistical issues in recent years, but players mostly prefer staying at home. The Redskins last went away for camp in 2003, when they were in Carlisle, Pa.

At the lectern stood Mike Shanahan , who has a five-year, $35 million contract that gives him final authority over football decisions as head coach and executive vice president of the Washington Redskins. Seated at a nearby table was Bruce Allen , the first general manager Dan Snyder has hired in 11 years of owning the team. And nowhere on the stage was Snyder, who sat next to his wife, Tanya , as a member of the audience in the Redskins Park auditorium in Ashburn, Va. It was the first time he hasn't introduced a new coach, a powerful symbol of how the balance of power has shifted within a proud franchise.
