Problem: San Diego took the lead late in the second quarter when Philip Rivers threw a TD to WR Vincent Jackson, giving San Diego a 7-0 lead going into halftime. Rivers had a bad first half completing only 1 of 10 passes, the only completion being a touchdown. The 3rd quarter saw San Diego add to their lead making it 10-0. But Seattle RB Shaun Alexander narrowed the gap with a rushing TD making it 10-7, San Diego would answer back with a field goal to make it 13-7, but on Seattle's ensuing drive they allowed another Alexander TD to make the score 14-13 and they would allow a field goal to give Seattle a 17-13 lead. With time running out San Diego drove down the field and Rivers would connect with a 37-yd pass to Jackson to give the Chargers a 20-17 lead with only&#160;:29 seconds remaining. The defense would hold and the Chargers continued their winning ways setting a team record 13th win. The win also clinched a first round bye and set up the Chargers to control their own destiny the next week against Arizona, as a win would clinch them homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.

Problem: The season started about as well as it could have, as the Washington Redskins started the season 6–2, with their two losses coming by a combined 11 points to the 2008 New York Giants season and 2008 St. Louis Rams season. Furthermore, Redskins star Clinton Portis led the NFL in rushing yards and Jason Campbell was just 40 pass attempts away from breaking Bernie Kosars record of consecutive passes to start the season without an interception. However, things turned for the worse on the eve of the United States presidential election, 2008, when they were routed 23–6 by the 2008 Pittsburgh Steelers season and Clinton Portis injuries finally caught up to him. The Redskins continued to struggle, falling all the way to 7–7, with their only win during that six-week period being a 3-point victory of the then-2–8 2008 Seattle Seahawks season, who would finish the season 4-12. The Redskins managed to upset the 2008 Philadelphia Eagles season in Week 16, but were eliminated from playoff contention after the 2008 Atlanta Falcons season defeated the 2008 Minnesota Vikings season 24–17 that same week. The Redskins lost the final game of the season 27–24 to the 2008 San Francisco 49ers season, despite having a 17–7 lead at halftime, losing on a Joe Nedney field goal as time expired.

Which two teams did the Redskins lose to at the start of the 2008 season?
Answer: New York Giants

Problem: Including the 2014 season, the Cowboys have won the NFC East 22 times in their 54-year history. After quarterback Tony Romo completed a 25-yard touchdown pass to TE Jason Witten late in the third quarter, Romo eclipsed Troy Aikman as the all-time leader in passing yards in franchise history. The throw put Romo at 32,961 passing yards in his career, passing Aikman's career total of 32,942. Romo finished the game with 218 yards, putting him at 32,971 for his career. At the start of the game, Murray had a total of 1,686 yards on the season and needed only 87 yards to pass Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith's team record for the most rushing yards in a single season with 1,773 yards set in 1995. However, with Murray still nursing the injury, coupled with an early Cowboys rout, Murray ended up with only 22 carries for 59 yards on the day, leaving him with a total of 1,745 yards for the year, just 28 yards short of Smith's single season record with one more game left to be played.

How many more passing yards does Romo get over Aikman?
Answer:
29
