PHILADELPHIA _ Sooner or later, every head coach faces a crisis such as the one Andy Reid endured last week.

Actually, it's too soon to be sure that the crisis has been endured. There are five games left on the schedule, all of which are fraught with peril for Reid's young team. It may turn out that the crisis was merely postponed, thanks to the mediocre opponent the Eagles beat Thursday night in Kansas City.

Still, Reid handled the first portion of the test better than his predecessor, Ray Rhodes, did when faced with his defining crisis in November 1996. No one knew it at the time, but it was during one monthlong period that Rhodes lost the handle on what had been, until then, a very promising tenure.

For Rhodes, the test arrived after a big victory in Dallas gave the Eagles a 7-2 record and first place in the NFC East.
