Lions-Steelers
Jerome Bettis acted like a man ready to retire. He received two standing ovations, signed dozens of jerseys and footballs for his teammates and posed for pictures on the field for a half-hour after the game ended.
What Bettis hopes is the Pittsburgh Steelers delay his anticipated retirement for four more games.
Bettis matched his career high with three touchdown runs in what likely was his final game in Pittsburgh and the Steelers overcame some sloppy defense to beat the Detroit Lions 35-21 Sunday, securing their 10th playoff appearance in 14 seasons under coach Bill Cowher.
The Steelers (11-5) will play AFC North champion Cincinnati, a 37-3 loser to Kansas City, at 4:30 p.m. Sunday in a wild-card game. Pittsburgh won at Cincinnati 27-13 on Oct. 23, but effectively lost the division title with a 38-31 loss to the Bengals in Pittsburgh on Dec. 4.
``We play them twice a year and we know them,'' Hines Ward said. ``We'll take our chances going to Cincinnati. ... It's not going to be easy, but we're more comfortable with them.''
Pittsburgh avoided a playoff rematch with New England when the Patriots lost 28-26 to Miami. The Steelers lost AFC championship games at home to the Patriots last season and during the 2001 season.
``It didn't make any difference to me who we play,'' safety Troy Polamalu said. ``We have unfinished business with both of them.''
Bettis, the fifth-leading rusher in NFL history, said last week he wanted to ``do something special'' if this was his final home game. He had only 41 yards - Willie Parker ran for 135 - but scored on runs of 1, 5 and 4 yards to help the Steelers overcome an early 14-7 deficit.
Bettis could think of only one better way to end his career - playing in the Super Bowl for the first time.
``I told the guys, `We've got to get there - I'm running out of time,''' said the 33-year-old Bettis, who came back this season mostly for the chance to play in the Super Bowl in his Detroit hometown.
Still, the Steelers' challenge is a big one. No sixth-seeded team has made it to a conference championship game, much less the Super Bowl, since the NFL's present playoff format was adopted in 1990. To get there, the Steelers might have to beat the Bengals, Colts and Patriots, all on the road.
``But I think if any team could do it, it's this team,'' said Polamalu, who thinks the Steelers are playing better now than a year ago, when they were top-seeded after winning their final 14. ``Maybe that's why our season has gone the way it has.''
The Steelers allowed Joey Harrington to throw three touchdown passes after giving up only one touchdown and 12 points in their previous three games, but won their fourth in a row following a three-game skid. The Lions (5-11) finished their fifth consecutive losing season with six losses in seven games.
This wasn't the kind of game the Steelers wanted to take into the playoffs - Ben Roethlisberger was only 7-of-16 for 135 yards and threw his first two interceptions in four games - but Bettis supplied an emotional lift.
``It was his day,'' Ward said.
For a team that needed to win to make the playoffs, the Steelers seemed to lack desperation after Antwaan Randle El scored on an 81-yard punt return less than two minutes into the game. Harrington threw scoring passes of 12 yards to Marcus Pollard and 1 yard to Cory Schlesinger to put the Lions up 14-7.
``We gave them a game, gave them a little scare, but it wasn't enough,'' Lions coach Dick Jauron said.
Bettis scored the Steelers' next three touchdowns, celebrating the final one early in the third quarter by waving his arms to encourage a long, loud standing ovation from the crowd of 63,794.
When the Lions cut it to 28-21 on Harrington's 15-yard TD pass to Roy Williams, the Steelers starters stayed in and Bettis returned to the game, getting several more ovations and two video tributes on the Heinz Field scoreboard. His final carry was a 4-yard run to the Steelers 41 with 3:10 to play, giving him 13,662 yards in his career.
Like Bettis, the Lions have decisions to make. Among them is whether to bring back Jauron, who replaced Steve Mariucci when the Lions were 4-7, and Harrington, a former first-round draft pick.
``A big part of me wants to stay and right what we started, but there's another part that wants to go somewhere else and get a fresh start,'' Harrington said. ``Two months ago, the consensus was I should have been on the first thing smoking coming out of town.'' |
Lions-Saints

It was an ugly game in an ugly season for both the Detroit Lions and the New Orleans Saints.
So bad, in fact, it took the ugliest of kicks in the final seconds to win it.
Jason Hanson rushed on to the field and kicked a 39-yard knuckleball field goal as time expired, giving the Lions a 13-12 victory Saturday in a game that, for three quarters, featured two of the NFL's tailenders.
There were six field goals, no offensive touchdowns, dropped passes and spotty play by two quarterbacks still trying to figure out where they fit with their teams.
``Winning like this shows character,'' said Detroit quarterback Joey Harrington.
New Orleans, which lost on a bizarre penalty and rekick on the final play two months ago against Atlanta, figured to have this one locked away when John Carney kicked his fourth field goal for a 12-10 lead with 1:52 to play.
Harrington, who had been benched twice this season, struggled most of the game before connecting with Roy Williams for two big completions on the Lions' final drive.
The first came on fourth down, a 40-yard sideline catch. On the second, with about 13 seconds left, Williams caught the ball in the middle of the field.
``I knew it was going to come my way,'' said Williams, who had dropped two passes earlier. ``I told myself, `You better not drop it, they'll make fun of you the rest of your life.'''
The Lions were a bit lucky. Coach Dick Jauron considered spiking the ball to stop the clock, but Hanson and the kicking unit were already running on the field. That meant everyone else had to hustle off.
As the last seconds ticked off, Hanson launched a low kick that knuckled through the uprights for the win.
``It was done like it should have been, but I would have liked to have killed the clock and given them time to set up,'' Jauron said. ``I was watching the clock because that would have been a bad way to lose the game.''
Until that drive, the Lions had done little on offense. Hanson's two fourth-quarter field goals were their only offensive points. The Lions also got a 21-yard fumble return for a touchdown by defensive tackle Shaun Rogers in the second quarter.
For the Lions (5-10), it was an amazing victory in a season in which their fans protested their bad play and the management of team president Matt Millen. The win snapped a five-game losing streak.
``There have been times the coaches have not believed in me, and there have been times the players didn't believe in me,'' said Harrington, who was 17-of-30 for 210 yards in his third crack as the starter. ``But I never lost faith in myself.''
For New Orleans (3-12), it was just another tough loss in a season full of mistakes. It was also eerily reminiscent of the defeat against Atlanta, when the Falcons missed a kick in the final seconds, but were awarded a retry when the Saints were flagged for holding.
``We have fumbles returned for touchdowns, other teams make plays and we don't,'' said safety Dwight Smith.
The Saints have lost 10 of their last 11 in a season in which they played ``home'' games in New Jersey, San Antonio and Baton Rouge, La., after Hurricane Katrina.
Harrington's return began with an efficient 16-play drive that took Detroit to the Saints 4 before the threw his 12th interception. He underthrew the 6-foot-3 Williams on a fade route and 5-9 cornerback Fred Thomas picked it off. After picking up five first downs, the Lions would get only two more until the fourth quarter.
Todd Bouman wasn't much better at the beginning of his second start for New Orleans. A week after committing five turnovers in a loss to Carolina, Bouman was sacked and fumbled.
He kept a lid on the turnovers as the game wore on, twice leading drives to take the lead in the second half. Carney kicked field goals of 35, 47, 33 and 20 yards.
``We had chances to score touchdowns all day. I missed some guys,'' said Bouman, who was off by inches on several deep passes. ``It's just a disappointing loss.''
``The defense played well enough to win all day, except at the end,'' said Saints coach Jim Haslett. ``In this league you can't kick field goals and win.''
You can if it's the last one of the game. Now maybe the folks back home will quiet down a bit.

Bengals-Lions

Bengals 41, Lions 17
DETROIT (AP) - The Cincinnati Bengals have shed their laughingstock image, winning their first division title since 1990 against a team that fits their former reputation.
Carson Palmer threw three touchdown passes in the first half and Deltha O'Neal had one of three interceptions to lead the Cincinnati Bengals to a 41-17 victory over Detroit.
``It's a great accomplishment, and it's one of the many goals we set out to do,'' said Palmer, who has thrown 30 TD passes this season, breaking Ken Anderson's team record by one set in 1981. ``We still have two tough games left, and a chance to get a bye.''
Cincinnati (11-3) won its fourth straight game to claim the AFC North, adding to a sensational season after 14 straight years without a winning record.
``Even a garbage can gets a steak now and again,'' said offensive tackle Willie Anderson, a Bengal since 1996.
Hundreds of fans made the short trek from Ohio to celebrate. They gathered behind the Bengals' bench and near the exit late in the game to cheer in a near-empty stadium that was jeering the home team at every opportunity when it was almost full.
``It was a weird, eerie feeling,'' Palmer said. ``It was quieter when we were on the field than it is at home.''
The Bengals have a chance for their best record ever, having gone 12-4 in 1981 and 1988. They made the Super Bowl both years.
If they make it to the title game again, they'll return to Detroit's Ford Field.
``I'm happy and elated, but our biggest goal is to get back here,'' Anderson said.
The reeling Lions (4-10) lost their fifth in a row, and seventh of eight since sharing the division lead.
``We are suffering,'' said Detroit's interim coach Dick Jauron, who fell to 0-3.
The tone was set on the opening kickoff when Detroit's R.W. McQuarters fumbled. By the end of the first quarter, the Bengals led 17-0 after Palmer threw two TDs and they forced two turnovers.
``That's what you fear against a team like that,'' Jauron said.
Palmer was 28-of-39 for 274 yards with three TDs, matching a season high, and two interceptions. He connected with Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, who left the game with an ankle injury, and Kelly Washington on scoring throws.
Johnson had a career-high 11 catches for 99 yards, and when he caught a 1-yard TD pass in the first quarter, the flamboyant receiver looked around before simply handing the football to the official.
``This game was too important,'' he explained. ``I just wanted to play it safe, because we needed a win.''
Rudi Johnson had 117 yards rushing and two TDs. He scored on the first drive after halftime to put the Bengals ahead 31-7, and added a second TD early in the fourth.
Detroit's Jeff Garcia was 13-of-21 for 138 yards with one TD and three interceptions, including one to O'Neal, who broke a team record with 10 interceptions. Garcia was replaced by Joey Harrington early in the fourth quarter, a move that drew cheers, and Harrington finished 6-of-7 for 77 yards and a TD.
Harrington, the third pick of the 2002 draft, acknowledged it might have been his last home game as a Lion.
``I realize the cutthroat nature of this business and the produce-now mentality, and we haven't done it,'' Harrington said.
Artose Pinner ran for 55 yards for the Lions, playing in place of Kevin Jones (elbow). Roy Williams caught a TD pass in the second quarter. Charles Rogers turned a short toss from Harrington into a 35-yard TD to make it 38-17 midway through the fourth quarter.
Before the game, hundreds of fans marched to protest Lions president Matt Millen, who has led the franchise to an NFL-worst 20-58 record the past five seasons.
As promised, many fans wore orange - Cincinnati's color - during the game. They chanted ``Fire Millen!'' throughout the game before most fans decided to head home in the second half.
``We understood what they were after,'' Williams said. ``They hoped we would lose so they could get what they want to happen in management, or with players they want gone. I think their plan went well.''
Notes: Houshmandzadeh said he will play next week. ... In four games against the NFC North, the Bengals have 18 interceptions. ... Rogers caught his first TD since Sept. 28, 2003, and had three receptions for a season-high 71 yards. ...Cincinnati S Anthony Mitchell started in place of inactive Ifeanyi Ohalete (ribs) and DT Shaun Smith was in for inactive Bryan Robinson (foot).

Packers-Lions-Safety Reversed

Lions get safety, lose it on official's call
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - The Detroit Lions thought they took the lead with a safety after two flags were thrown in the end zone in the fourth quarter of a 13-13 game against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night.
Turns out they had nothing at all.
With the ball at the Packers 1, Brett Favre handed off to Samkon Gado, who ran right and was stopped in the end zone by linebacker Earl Holmes.
As Gado was falling, he tossed the ball forward, and fullback Vonta Leach recovered.
After a lengthy discussion by the officials, referee Mike Carey called intentional grounding on Gado for a safety and Detroit declined a holding penalty against right tackle Mark Tauscher.
Packers coach Mike Sherman threw a red challenge flag, but the play was not reviewed. After another lengthy officials' conference, Carey returned to clarify that the throw by Gado was legal because he was outside of the pocket.
``It's a bad rule,'' Lions coach Dick Jauron said. ``When he explained the situation, a ball carrier is a passer when he's behind the line, and he can throw the ball, he has all the protection the quarterback has. If he's out of the pocket, he doesn't have to throw it near anybody, just to the line.''
The holding, which appeared to occur in the end zone on a television replay, was spotted inside the 1, and the Lions declined that penalty to bring up second down. Holmes, in an expletive-filled tirade, said he couldn't fathom the call.
``I have never seen nothing like that, never heard anything like that,'' Holmes said. ``There's no other way to tell me that was not a safety. You can't explain it. ... As soon as you question or you say something or you criticize the officials, you get a pink slip in your letter on Wednesday saying you did this or did that.''
NFL game observer Joe Rhein told The Associated Press that officials err on the side of caution in a situation with a flag thrown at the goal line.
``You don't want to give a team a cheap safety, so that's the thinking and the rationale behind the call,'' Rhein said. ``It's not reviewable, it's a judgment call.
``When in doubt, you don't want to give the cheap score, so that's where they start thinking. So now, where did the contact start, where did it wind up, that's all the judgment call of the officials.''
Carey did not comment on the call after the game.
The sequence happened just after the Lions failed to score three times from the Packers 1, ending when Jeff Garcia couldn't sneak in on fourth down behind center Dominic Raiola and right guard Damien Woody with 7:07 left.
Ryan Longwell kicked a field goal with 9:43 left in overtime and the Packers won 16-13.
``It shouldn't have came down to the officials,'' Lions receiver Roy Williams said. ``We should have punched that ball in and should have won this game.''

Vikings 21, Lions 16
DETROIT (AP) - Brad Johnson heaved a pass, pumped his fist and shouted with joy.
The Minnesota Vikings are back - and Johnson is, too.
Johnson threw two touchdowns, including an 80-yard pass to Koren Robinson that fired up the 37-year-old quarterback, and the Vikings held on to beat the Detroit Lions 21-16 Sunday.
Minnesota's mess is becoming a distant memory. Detroit's is getting worse.
The Vikings (7-5) have won five straight, salvaging their season after a bad start and the now infamous boat party.
``We've gotten ourselves out of a deep, deep hole,'' Johnson said. ``We're back in the ballgame, with four games left.''
Detroit (4- has lost five of six and didn't seem to be sparked by Dick Jauron in his debut as interim coach. In just six weeks, the Lions have gone from sharing the division lead to being mathematically eliminated from the race.
Fed-up fans booed quarterback Jeff Garcia throughout the game, and directed their anger toward team president Matt Millen during much of the second half.
``Man, this is supposed to be our home stadium,'' said receiver Roy Williams, shaking his head. ``This felt like a road game.''
The Vikings appeared to be in control leading by 15 early in the third quarter after Michael Bennett's second TD, but the Lions rallied before losing their eighth straight in the series.
Artose Pinner scored on a 6-yard run to make it 21-16 with 7:38 left after cornerback Brian Williams had an interception return for a score negated by a penalty.
The Lions got the ball back at their 7 with 2:46 left after Paul Edinger - punting in place of injured Chris Kluwe - made a low, bouncing kick.
Detroit drove to midfield before Garcia's up-for-grabs lob was intercepted by leaping safety Corey Chavous at Minnesota's 2 with 52 seconds left.
``I was glad we got back on the field because in those situations, you want an opportunity to make a play,'' Chavous said.
The Lions led once - briefly. After Jason Hanson kicked a field goal on the opening drive, Johnson needed only one play to put the Vikings ahead with his long pass to Robinson.
Johnson, who was 17-for-23 for a season-high 256 yards, is 5-0 since starting in place of the injured Daunte Culpepper.
``He's throwing it on time and he's throwing it precise,'' Robinson said. ``He's like Greg Maddux.''
Johnson has thrown eight TDs and just two interceptions after Culpepper had twice as many interceptions (12) as TDs (six) before having season-ending surgery on his right knee.
Bennett had 79 yards rushing and a 7-yard TD, and caught a 5-yard TD to give the Vikings a 21-6 lead in the third quarter. Robinson caught four passes for 148 yards, surpassing his previous season total, and a TD.
The loudest cheers at Ford Field came when a fan held a ``Fire Millen'' sign behind Minnesota's bench in the third quarter.
Security scurried to take the sign away and more messages like it, but ``Fire Mil-len!'' chants could not be stopped. One fan amused the crowd as he ran from section to section, dodging security, holding up an anti-Millen sign.
``That was crazy stuff,'' said Edinger, whose game-winning, season-ending kick while playing for Chicago led to Millen's hiring.
The Lions are an NFL-worst 20-56 since Millen took over the franchise in 2001.
Garcia, who was cheered as Joey Harrington's backup, was booed regularly as Jauron's-picked starter and the rest of his teammates didn't escape the wrath of the crowd.
``We worked on that,'' Minnesota coach Mike Tice joked. ``We talked about getting the crowd to boo them early.''
Garcia finished 17-of-35 for 126 yards and an interception.
``We don't have the confidence in each other that we need to make plays,'' Garcia said.
A play after Hanson's 45-yard field goal gave Detroit its only lead, Johnson lofted a perfect pass to Robinson, who simply ran past cornerback R.W. McQuarters for the score.
``We put that play in on Thursday. We knew it was coming,'' Robinson said. ``They said that they wanted to go at R.W. McQuarters, and he happened to line up on me.''
It was Minnesota's longest play of the year, and was Johnson's longest pass since 1996.
``What a great throw from Brad. He's having hernia surgery tomorrow,'' Tice joked. ``He threw that thing as far as he could throw it.''
When Garcia threw a pass at Williams' feet on the ensuing possession, the crowd chanted ``Jo-ey! Jo-ey!'' in a humorous moment because those same fans have jeered Harrington throughout his career.
Notes Detroit WR Charles Rogers, the second pick overall in 2003, was inactive despite being healthy and RB Kevin Jones (thigh) also did not play. ... Kluwe and RB Mewelde Moore injured ankles during the game. ... Detroit LBs Boss Bailey (ankle) and Nate Wayne (ankle) and FS Jon McGraw (shoulder) were injured. ... Culpepper attended the game.
