Still, the specter of Steve Walsh coming back to beat Johnson's Cowboys certainly is on the mind of the coach who traded Walsh to New Orleans. Johnson will change his team's defensive signals for today's National Football League meeting with Walsh, who was dealt to New Orleans on Sept. 25. "It does concern us that Steve knows as much about our defense as anybody," Johnson said.
"It's the same defense we ran for four years at Miami. He's gone against it a lot in practice. We'll have to change our signals."

A bad officiating call against the Raiders and two missed field goals by Norm Johnson in Denver separate Seattle from first place.
