Colts top Browns for 5th straight win CLEVELAND Colts defensive end Robert Mathis scooped up Derek Anderson's fumble and rumbled 39 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter as the Colts won an ugly 10-6 decision over the Cleveland Browns yesterday. Indianapolis stayed in the thick of the AFC playoff chase with their fifth straight win. Mathis' big play helped bail out Peyton Manning and Indy's high-octane offense, which failed to score a TD. The Browns lost their fourth straight at home and may have lost quarterback Derek Anderson and tight end Kellen Winslow for an extended period. Winslow went out on the first play of the third quarter with an ankle injury. Anderson injured his left leg in the final two minutes. Third stringer Ken Dorsey came in for the final three plays and was intercepted on the Browns' last snap.
Clayton leads Ravens over Bengals 34-3 CINCINNATI Receiver Mark Clayton threw a touchdown pass on a reverse, then made a spectacular one-handed catch for a 70-yard score yesterday to help the Ravens beat the Bengals 34-3 yesterday. Baltimore have won six of their past seven games with a renowned defense and an offense coming into its own behind rookie quarterback Joe Flacco. The Bengals tied their club record with 11 punts and managed only six first downs. Ryan Fitzpatrick filled in for the injured Carson Palmer for the seventh straight game, but was ineffective. The few thousand fans left in the stands cheered when third-string quarterback Jordan Palmer came in during the closing minutes, then booed when his first pass was intercepted by Jim Leonhard and returned 36 yards for a touchdown.
No. 1 Tide vs. No. 2 Gators for SEC title NEW YORK To earn a national championship, Alabama or Florida will have to win two games matching No. 1 vs. No. 2. The top-ranked Crimson Tide and second-ranked Gators held their spots in the AP Top 25 yesterday, setting up the 40th game matching the highest ranked teams in the AP Top 25. Alabama and Florida will play Saturday at the Georgia Dome in the Southeastern Conference title game. The winner is virtually guaranteed a spot in the BCS national championship game in Miami on January 8th. Ohio State, whose regular season is over, is No. 10 in the latest poll. The Buckeyes are also tenth in the latest BCS ranking out yesterday. Cincinnati is 13th in the BCS and in the AP poll. The Bearcats are headed to a BCS bowl -- likely the Orange or Sugar -- for the first time in their history.
Browns' Winslow hurts ankle CLEVELAND Browns tight end Kellen Winslow, already playing with a sprained right shoulder, left yesterday's game against Indianapolis with an injured ankle. Winslow was hurt on the first play of the second half while blocking on a running play. He was helped to his feet but walked to the sideline without assistance and was taken to the locker room for X-rays. The Browns said Winslow's return was questionable. Winslow has had injury problems throughout his five-year career. He broke his leg in his second game as a rookie and then missed the entire 2005 season after sustaining a serious knee injury in a motorcycle accident. Winslow has undergone at least four operations on his knee, which developed a staph infection while he was recovering. Winslow hurt his shoulder on November 17th at Buffalo.
No. 20 Ohio State beats Dayton 76-61 COLUMBUS, Ohio Jantel Lavender scored 27 points and Samantha Prahalis had 17 to help No. 20 Ohio State beat Dayton 76-61 yesterday. The Buckeyes rallied from a 10-point deficit in the second half to win in the final of the Buckeye Classic. Kristin Daugherty had 18 points and Justine Raterman 16 for the Flyers, who went up 49-39 when Kendel Ross hit a 3-pointer with 12:40 to play. Patrice Lalor gave the Flyers their last lead at 52-50 with 9:20 remaining but Lavender followed with a free throw and short jumper and Sarah Schulze hit a 3-pointer hit to put Ohio State ahead 56-51. Dayton couldn't get closer than five the rest of the way.
Akron runs past Fairleigh Dickinson 85-41 HACKENSACK, N.J. Nate Linhart came off the bench to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds as Akron routed Fairleigh Dickinson 85-41 in a Legends Classic game last night. Brett McKnight and Anthony Hitchens both added 12 points for the Zips, who hit 47.1 percent from the field and forced the Knights to commit 22 turnovers. Terence Grier, Cameron Tyler and Kamil Svrdlik each had eight points for FDU, who hit just 22.7 percent of their shots and went 1-for-9 from 3-point range. Akron was in command from the start and held double-digit leads for most of the game. The Zips opened the game with a 20-7 run and jumped out to a 43-23 lead at the break. They then started the second half with a 9-0 run and held FDU to just one basket during the first 10 minutes of the half.
Kent State rallies to beat Seattle in OT SEATTLE Anna Kowalska scored 18 points and Kent State outscored Seattle University 13-1 in overtime for an 89-77 victory in the consolation game of the Husky Classic yesterday. Kent State's Stephanie Gibson sent the game into overtime with a layup that tied the score at 76 with 37 seconds left. The Golden Flashes came back after trailing 42-29 at halftime and being behind since the 9:03 mark in the opening half. Kent State got four points each from Gibson and Ellie Shields in overtime. Shields finished with 14 points, while Gibson had 11 points and eight assists. The Lady Redhawks were led by Breanna Salley's 17 points. |
