>> the other side of the ball is coming off the worst performance of the season. giving up 33 points to cam newton and the panthers. >> he was special. anytime you have a guy who can, you know, who can run, throw the ball, he can run, he can throw. he's got the total package. he's going to play in this league for a long time. >> execute. find the holes in the defense. we need to put it on. i mean, we need to find ourself and regroup, come back with a positive attitude, that's it. >> reporter: with the injuries and a suddenly struggling defense, the season could be slipping away if they don't right the ship against buffalo on sunday. >> when ever you lose, it takes something out of you. we work hard to win the football games. but, we are professionals. we have a good defense and a

good team. even though they are 1-5, they are still really good football teams. the record didn't show it. the panthers are putting up four and five. the same thing with philly. it's our job to go out and stop the football games. we falling short the past two weeks. it's something we have to put behind us. we have to move on to buffalo and get the job done. >> i call it the first team with ten wins. we are still in there. we are not in a desperate mode right now. more urgent, obviously, because we want to get on track and to the mood of things and the winning way of things. >> reporter: that's brian. his fellow line backer, london fletcher has a hamstring issue. he left the game early. no word on how healthy he will be for the upcoming game against buffalo. this is a tough stretch. buffalo, a tough team. you are playing them in toronto

dangerous mix. each year, children and costumes are burns. there are reports of an 8-year-old girl suffering first and second degree burns when a candle came in contact with her halloween costume. a 4-year-old boy sustained second degree burns over 40% of his body when his costume ignited. we decided to show what can happen when costumes come in contact with fire. we bought a pink princess, sponge bob, a muscle shirt and accessories like a big and a boa. all had warning labels saying keep away from fire or keep away from open flame. we touched the pink princess with a flame and it quickly spread. consumer product safety commission says halloween costumes should be flame resistant or retardant. this says keep away from flame, believe it. next up, sponge bob made of foam

material. he burned quickly. within two minutes, this costume is almost completely consumed by fire. the muscle shirt burned and melted. accessories like wigs can be dangerous. this burned fast and melted into a smokey, hot mess. children and adults alike use these feather boas to create costumes. be careful. it was a black, melted mess in no time. 30 seconds later, no boa left. the most dangerous is a 100% cotton sheet. cotton burns very quickly. within 45 seconds, completely consumed. it amazing folks how quickly they go up in flames. if you want to reduce the risk of your costume if you are making one, catching fire, the washington hospital fire has a recipe to make it more fire

resistant. four ounces of borick acid with bora xarks. soak the costume and let it drip dry. one more thought while the lighted jack lanterns are a symbol of halloween. put a tiny flashlight inside. it makes it bright and cheerful. you don't have to werery about the flames. >> keep it safe. great tips. we are dressing up and getting ready. >> thank you, liz. coming up on news 4 at 5:00, a series of rape chargin
