SAN DIEGO (AP) - LADAINIAN TOMLINSON SCORED TWICE TO CONTINUE
HIS CLIMB UP THE CAREER RUSHING AND SCORING LISTS, AND THE SAN
DIEGO CHARGERS BEAT THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 31-23 YESTERDAY.
IN SPITE OF THE LOSS, EAGLES QB DONOVAN MCNABB WAS HOT FROM THE AIR, THROWING FOR MORE THAN 400 YARDS ON 55 ATTEMPTS:

MCNABB

EAGLES RUNNING BACK BRIAN WESTBROOK LEFT THE GAME WITH A CONCUSSION WHICH HE SUSTAINED DURING THE OPENING DRIVE OF THE SECOND HALF. THIS WAS WESTBROOK'S SECOND CONCUSSION OF THE SEASON. THE EAGLES ARE NOW 5-4. THEY FACE THE CHICAGO BEARS NEXT SUNDAY NIGHT.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - THE PITTBURGH STEELERS WERE BEATEN BY THE
CINCINNATI BENGALS AT THEIR OWN GAME AT HOME IN PITTSBURGH. THE BENGALS DID IT BY RELYING ON A DEFENSE THAT SMOTHERED BEN
ROETHLISBERGER AND THE SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS BY HOLDING THEM TO FOUR FIELD GOALS AND ONE BIG SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY FOR AN 18-12 VICTORY YESTERDAY. CINCINNATI ALSO BEAT THE STEELERS BACK ON SEPT. 27.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - PHILADELPHIA 76ERS FORWARD MARREESE SPEIGHTS (SPITES) WILL MISS SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS WITH A LEFT KNEE INJURY. SPEIGHTS WAS INJURED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF A 94-88 LOSS IN CHICAGO. AN MRI YESTERDAY REVEALED HE HAS A PARTIAL TEAR OF THE MEDIAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT IN HIS LEFT KNEE. SPEIGHTS HAS AVERAGED 13 POINTS AND 6.4 REBOUNDS IN THE FIRST 10 GAMES.

STATE COLLEGE, PA. (AP) - PENN STATE'S BOWL PROSPECTS ARE ABOUT
AS CLOUDY AS THE FUTURE FOR ITS TWO TOP JUNIORS. A BOWL
CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES BERTH IS STILL A POSSIBILITY AFTER THEIR 31-20
WIN OVER INDIANA AND LOSSES BY OTHER POTENTIAL BCS CONTENDERS SUCH AS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, MIAMI AND IOWA. WHEREVER THE NITTANY LIONS END UP, THAT GAME COULD BE THE LAST FOR LINEBACKER NAVORRO BOWMAN AND TAILBACK EVAN ROYSTER.

INDIANPOLIS (AP) - THE INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ARE STILL UNDEFEATED.
THE 9-AND-0 COLTS RALLIED FROM 17 POINTS DOWN IN THE FOURTH QUARTER TO BEAT NEW ENGLAND 35-34 FOR THEIR FIFTH WIN IN THE LAST SIX MEETINGS WITH THE PATRIOTS.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - THE 9-AND-0 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS TIED THEIR BEST
START IN CLUB HISTORY BY GRINDING OUT A 28-23 VICTORY OVER THE
1-AND-8 ST. LOUIS RAMS. DREW BREES OVERCAME TWO INTERCEPTIONS WITH TWO TD PASSES AND REGGIE BUSH ADDED A PAIR OF TOUCHDOWNS.

AVONDALE, ARIZ. (AP) - JIMMIE JOHNSON CLOSED IN ON HIS UNPRECEDENTED FOURTH STRAIGHT NASCAR SPRINT CUP DRIVERS TITLE WITH A VICTORY AT PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY. WITH JUST ONE RACE LEFT IN THE CHASE FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, JOHNSON HOLDS A COMMANDING 108-POINT LEAD OVER MARK MARTIN IN THE STANDINGS AND NEEDS TO FINISH 25TH OR BETTER IN NEXT WEEK'S RACE AT HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY TO RACE INTO THE RECORD BOOKS.
