Monday, October 25, 2010 – Daily News – 3B NFL Round-Up Steelers 23, Dolphins 22 MIAMI (AP) — The officials eventually got it right that Ben Roethlisberg- er fumbled at the goal line. The Dolphins were still left feeling wronged. An officiating mistake negated Roethlisberger’s late fumble, and the Steelers kicked the game-winning field goal on the next play Sunday. Jeff Reed made an 18-yarder with 2:30 left, allowing Pittsburgh to escape with a 23-22 win. One play earlier, with Pittsburgh trailing 22-20 and facing third-and-goal at the 2, Roethlisberger fum- bled as he dived across the goal line on a quarterback draw. The play was ruled a touchdown as both teams scrambled for the loose ball in the end zone. After a replay review, referee Gene Steratore announced that Roethlis- berger fumbled before scor- ing. But Steratore said his crew had no clear evidence as to which team recovered the ball, and the Steelers (5- 1) were awarded possession at the half-yard line, allow- ing Reed to kick the winner. The Dolphins (3-3) then lost the ball on downs, gain- ing only 4 yards in four plays. Ravens 37, Bills 34 OT BALTIMORE (AP) — The Bills came close, but Billy Cundiff kicked a 38- yard field goal with 10:57 left in overtime after Ray Lewis stripped the ball from tight end Shawn Nelson, and Baltimore squeezed past winless Buffalo (0-6). Joe Flacco threw three touchdown passes for the Ravens, who survived an uncharacteristic perfor- mance by a defense that was shredded for 505 yards. Baltimore (5-2) trailed 24-10 late in the first half before scoring 24 straight points to take a 10-point lead into the fourth quarter. Buffalo’s Ryan Fitzpatrick then threw a 17-yard touch- down pass to Lee Evans with 5:46 left, and the Bills forced overtime on a 50- yard field goal by Rian Lin- dell with 4 seconds left in regulation. Fitzpatrick went 29 for 43 for 373 yards and four touchdowns — three to Evans and another to Steve Johnson. Patriots 23, Chargers 20 SAN DIEGO (AP) — New San Diego kicker Kris Brown missed a 50-yard field goal attempt with 23 seconds left as New Eng- land escaped with a win. Brown lined up to try a 45-yarder that would have forced overtime, but guard Louis Vasquez was whis- tled for a false start. Moved back five yards, Brown’s attempt was long enough but bounced off the right upright. Brown was signed last week because Nate Kaeding has an injured groin. Leading by three with two minutes left, New Eng- land gambled on fourth- and-1 from its 49 and Ben- Jarvus Green-Ellis was stuffed for a 1-yard loss by Antwan Applewhite. Coach Bill Belichick had chal- lenged the spot of the previ- ous play and lost, costing him his final timeout. San Diego then moved to the 27. New England (5-1) pulled into a tie with the idle New York Jets atop the AFC East. The Chargers fell to 2-5. Seahawks 22, Cardinals 10 SEATTLE — Olindo Mare kicked five field goals, Matt Hasselbeck threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams and Seattle took advantage of five Arizona turnovers. The Seahawks (4-2) took over first place in the NFC West despite an unim- pressive performance. Four times in the second half, Seattle had possession inside the Arizona 20 and settled for Mare field goals on each occasion. Arizona rookie quarter- back Max Hall didn’t make it through the third quarter, getting knocked out of the game with a ‘‘blow to the head’’ on a sack by Chris Louis (3-4). Jackson fin- ished with 110 yards on 22 carries, hiking his career total to 7,324. Browns 30, Saints 17 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — David Bowens returned two of Drew Brees’ four interceptions for touch- downs and the Browns stunned the defending champion Saints. Rookie Colt McCoy passed for only 74 yards but got his first win as an NFL starter — a desperately needed one for the strug- gling Browns (2-5). Scott Fujita and Sheldon MCT photo Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger fumbled the ball in the end zone as Miami Dolphins Chris Clemons (30) and Paul Soliai (96) attempted to stop the drive in the fourth quarter. The Steelers were awarded possession. Clemons on what looked to be a clean hit. Derek Ander- son led a pair of scoring dri- ves, but the Cardinals couldn’t get closer. Redskins 17, Bears 14 CHICAGO (AP) — DeAngelo Hall tied an NFL record with four intercep- tions, running one back 92 yards for a touchdown, and Washington sacked Jay Cutler four times while forcing six turnovers. Hall tied a record held by 18 others and became the first to pick off four passes since Deltha O’Neal did it with Denver in 2001. His one-handed interception and TD return late in the third quarter were made for the highlight reel and put the Redskins ahead for good, sending Chicago to its third loss in four games. Washington equaled its win total from last season and joined a growing line of teams that has pounded Cutler. He now has been sacked 19 times in his last three games. Falcons 39, Bengals 32 ATLANTA (AP) — Roddy White had a spectac- ular day for Atlanta, catch- ing 11 passes for 201 yards. The Falcons (5-2) squan- dered a 24-3 halftime lead, falling behind when Cincin- nati (2-4) took advantage of two turnovers and ripped off 22 straight points in the third quarter. White put the Falcons ahead to stay with his sec- ond touchdown, an 11-yard reception early in the fourth. He then made a leaping catch on the 2-point conver- sion to make it 32-25. After Cedric Benson’s fumble, Michael Turner scored on a 3-yard run for a two-touchdown lead. Chad Ochocinco gave the Ben- gals a chance with a late 8- yard TD catch, but the Fal- cons recovered the onside kick. Titans 37, Eagles 19 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kerry Collins threw three touchdowns to Kenny Britt, who had the best game of his career two days after being involved in a bar fight, and Tennessee scored 27 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Britt had the best receiv- ing game in the NFL this season. He caught touch- down passes of 26, 80 and 16 yards and finished with seven receptions for 225 yards — all career highs for the second-year player on a day when he didn’t start as punishment for his role in the fight. The Titans (5-2) won their NFL-best 12th straight over the NFC with Collins making his first start in a year. Vince Young was side- lined by a sprained left knee and ankle that had him still limping in pregame warmups. The Eagles (4-3) blew a 19-10 lead despite sacking Collins three times and forcing him into three turnovers. Buccaneers 18, Rams 17 TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Josh Freeman led another Tampa Bay fourth-quarter comeback, throwing a 1- yard touchdown pass to Cadillac Williams with 10 seconds remaining. Connor Barth kicked four field goals for the Bucs (4-2), who trailed 17-3 before battling back to sur- pass their win total for last season. Sam Bradford threw two short touchdown pass- es and Steven Jackson became the Rams’ all-time leading rusher before things unraveled for St. Brown also had intercep- tions for Cleveland. Brees was sacked three times, once by Fujita, a defensive leader for the Saints last season. The Saints (4-3) trailed all game and got no closer in the second half than 20- 10 on Brees’ 11-yard pass to David Thomas early in the fourth quarter. Chiefs 42, Jaguars 20 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Derrick Johnson returned an interception for a score and Matt Cassel threw two TD passes to Dwayne Bowe for Kansas City. The Chiefs (4-2) ran for 236 yards and three TDs while overcoming several penalties. Jacksonville’s Todd Bouman, who hadn’t thrown a TD pass in the regular season since 2005, was signed this week after David Garrard sustained a concussion and backup Trent Edwards hurt his thumb. Still, the Jaguars (3- 4) trailed by only one point late in the third when Bouman stepped up and threw an ill- advised pass to Johnson, who made a juggling interception and ran 15 yards for a TD that put KC on top 28-20 with 5:13 left in the third. Bouman was 18 for 34 for 222 yards and two TDs and two intercep- tions. HOME SERVICES DIRECTORY 7900 Runs Every Monday - Wednesday - Friday $ $ with a 3 month commitment Blinds Need Blinds?
