Why week




















The seven-day week spread throughout the Near East. Other cultures in the surrounding areas got on board with the seven-day week, including the Persian empire and the Greeks. Centuries later, when Alexander the Great began to spread Greek culture throughout the Near East as far as India, the concept of the seven-day week spread as well. Scholars think that perhaps India later introduced the seven-day week to China. Finally, once the Romans began to conquer the territory influenced by Alexander the Great, they too eventually shifted to the seven-day week.

It was Emperor Constantine who decreed that the seven-day week was the official Roman week and made Sunday a public holiday in A.

Their defense currently ranked sixth in the league, only allowing They are also only giving up Prescott is playing at an elite level and is an MVP candidate. He is averaging yards a game, and has a four-to-one touchdown to interception, and Prescott just broke the record for the most passing yards ever on a Bill Belichick lead team.

A record could help distract from the fact that the Cowboys have been hit hard by the injury bug and not just among backups. Defensive end Dorance Armstrong and cornerback Maurice Canady are questionable to return against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Cowboys are hoping wideout Michael Gallup can make it back for the next game as well.

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a defensive mastermind. His game plan helped hold Brady to barely over 50 percent completions and no touchdowns. They held a powerhouse Bucs offense to one touchdown and not even 20 points.

Belichick is the best of all time at taking what an offense does best away.
