MIAMI (AP) - An officiating mistake negated a late fumble at the
goal line by Ben Roethlisberger, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kicked
the game-winning field goal on the next play. Jeff Reed made an
18-yarder with 2:30 left, and the Steelers escaped with a 23-22
win.

MIAMI (AP) - The Steelers lost three starters with injuries in
yesterday's game against Miami, including two players from their
league-leading defense. Defensive end Aaron Smith torn the triceps
in his left arm, and linebacker LaMarr Woodley was sidelined in the
first half by a hamstring injury.

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 the Titans scored 27 unanswered
points in the fourth quarter to beat the Eagles 37-19 yesterday.
The Eagles blew a 19-10 lead despite sacking Collins three times
and forcing him into three turnovers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Philadelphia coach Andy Reid is
switching quarterbacks again and says Michael Vick will start
November 7th against Indianapolis in the Eagles' next game after
their bye week. Vick was the third quarterback during yesterday's
loss to Tennessee as he recovered from injured rib cartilage.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Having the best record in baseball meant
little in October for the Phillies. The two-time defending NL
champions came up short in a year where nothing less than a World
Series title is considered success. Heavy favorites to win their
third straight pennant, the Phillies were eliminated in six games
by the San Francisco Giants.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Columbus midfielder Eddie Gaven set up a
penalty, assisted on a goal and made two saves to help the Crew
beat Philadelphia 3-1 in their regular season finale yesterday. The
Union wrapped up their inaugural season with eight wins, 15 losses
and seven ties.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - A University of Pittsburgh spokesman says
men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon helped rescue two men from a car
accident near the city. Athletics spokesman Greg Hotchkiss says
Dixon was heading north on Interstate 279 Saturday night when a car
swerved, hit a guardrail and flipped over.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) - United Arab Emirates swimming
officials are citing "overexertion" as the cause of U.S. national
team swimmer Fran Crippen's death and deny reports that the
American had a heart attack during a race in the country. The
26-year-old from suburban Philadelphia died Saturday while
competing in the FINA Open Water 10-kilometer World Cup.
