Brandon Meriweather was contrite for his comments to the media about injuring other players.

"I spoke to Brandon. He is passionate about the game, and I know he is sorry for what he said," NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said in a statement. "He is concentrating on helping his team win the rest of the season. Brandon knows that all players have a responsibility to each other and to play within the rules of the game."

Meriweather was suspended for illegal hits against the Chicago Bears.

"I guess I just got to take people's knees out," Meriweather said. "That's the only way. I would hate to end a guy's career over a rule, but I guess it's better other people than me getting suspended for longer. You just have to go low now, man. You've got to end people's careers. You got to tear people's ACLs and mess up people's knees. You can't hit them high anymore."

Daniel Snyder met with Roger Goodell to discuss the name of the Washington Redskins.

Snyder met with Goodell one day before a scheduled meeting with the Oneida Indian Nation, a group that would like the Redskins to change their name.

Goodell has stated that the decision is Snyder's to make, but that the NFL must listen if even a single person is offended.

Robert Griffin III fumbled twice in the Washington Redskins loss on Sunday with one of the two lost to the Broncos.

Dr. James Andrew said that Griffin's knee is "okay."

Griffin took a huge hit from Broncos' nose tackle Terrance Knighton.

The Trench Counter attempts to determine which teams win the battle at the line of scrimmage and isolate flukish plays. With seven weeks of data in the books, the Trench Counter can identify teams that are overrated or underrated relative to their record and the perception of oddsmakers in Vegas.

Here are three games that are vulnerable for bettors based on the Trench Counter.

Green Bay Packers (6.32) at Minnesota Vikings (-3.98), Packers -8.5:  Minnesota has struggled mightily over the past two weeks in the Trench Counter, averaging -9.60, even worse than the Jacksonville Jaguars (-8.30). Despite injuries to their receivers, Green Bay has put together a string of great games, placing them third in the year to date rankings. Add in Adrian Peterson's hamstring injury and the Packers cover at Minnesota.

Washington Redskins (-0.97) at Denver Broncos (4.56), Redskins +13.5: Since Week 2, the Redskins have moved up in the Trench Counter rankings from 30 to 19. Denver on the other hand, has been average over the past three weeks. This one we focus on trends. With Robert Griffin III now playing like last year's version, the Redskins may not win this in Denver, but they keep it close enough to take it with the big spread.

Seattle Seahawks (9.49) at St. Louis Rams (-5.64), Seahawks -10.5:  Yes, Seattle plays much worse on the road than at home. Yes, Seattle lost two of the past three seasons at St. Louis. Yes, Seattle only outscored four road opponents by a total of 14 points. However, none of those teams had Kellen Clemens starting at quarterback. Seattle, the top team in the Trench Counter rankings, win and cover.

Jordan Reed has emerged as one of the NFL's next dominant tight ends.

Reed was a third round pick by the Washington Redskins.

"The guy will be sensational," Jaworski said, per ESPN.com. "He's one of the guys that jumps off the tape at you. I like to use the word 'flash.' We saw a little bit of it earlier this season but clearly against Chicago I saw a lot more of it.

"We were talking here, he reminded us on the field of an Aaron Hernandez," Jaworski said. "He has that kind of wide receiver movement for a big guy. This guy is going to scare the hell out of defenses. They can't load up the box when you have the ability to get him down the field matched against linebackers and safeties. That's a mismatch. He has a chance to be really good. We talk about splash plays; the splash plays against Chicago came from him."

Pro Football Focus reports that Reed has caught 84 percent of his targets, which leads all tight ends.
