- Tackle Igor Olshansky made one tackle and assisted on two others (including a sack) as the Dallas Cowboys shut out the Washington Redskins, 17-0 to clinch a playoff berth. Guard Kyle Kosier also started the game.
- Carolina Panthers’ tackle Geoff Schwartz made his second straight start the team’s 41-9 dismantling of the NY Giants in their last home game at the Meadowlands. The loss also knocked them out of playoff contention.
- Aaron Podlesh made four punts (36.5 yard average, including a 47-yarder) in the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 35-7 loss to the New England Patriots, who won the AFC East title.
- The Minnesota Vikings lost a thriller in overtime to the Chicago Bears, 36-30 on Monday Night Football. Still no Sage Rosnefels sighting.
- San Diego Charger long-snapper David Binn appeared in the team’s 42-17 win over the Tennessee Titans.
UPDATE: I have been remiss in not announcing that Antonio Garay, a six-foot-three, 303 pound defensive end for the Chargers, returned to the NFL on Dec. 17 after missing the 2008 season. In Sunday’s game against the Titans, Garay assisted on one tackle. He previously played for the Cleveland Browns (2003-04) and Chicago Bears (2006-07). Thanks to Bob Wechsler for the note.

Defensive end Antonio Garay made one tackle in his first appearance with the Chargers on Friday night against the Titans.
Thanks, Bob. I’ll have to add him to the list now.
