The signing came at a crucial time for Washington, as backup running back Ladell Betts is expected to miss two-to-four weeks with a sprained knee suffered in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the St. Louis Rams. Alexander earned the NFL's MVP award after the 2005 season in which he rushed for 1,880 yards and 27 touchdowns. After leading Seattle to Super Bowl XL, Alexander struggled through two injury-plagued seasons, rushing for only 1,612 yards and 11 tou |

RAMS: CHANGE RESULTS IN WIN In all fairness to fired head coach Scott Linehan, perhaps change was all the St. Louis Rams needed. How else do you explain St. Louis getting its first win of the season on Sunday, a 19-17 victory over Washington, despite making the same mistakes that have plagued the team all year?

| (Best E Casino) - When the Oakland Raiders and St. Louis Rams fired their coaches within 24 hours of one another following Week 4, every pundit from coast to coast was asked which team had the better chance to immediately rise from the ashes. Strangely enough, it was the Raiders - they of the 20 wins since 2003 - that were offered up as the best hope. Some of that had to do with the woeful state of the Rams, but the thinking had at least a little to do with the way the Raiders had played over the first mont |

Washington had taken a one-point lead on Clinton Portis' second touchdown of the game with 3:47 left, but St. Louis went to work with the ball at its own 24.
