Jets Quarterback Mark Sanchez Will Sit Out Against Bucs With Injured Knee

December 9, 2009

By Aaron Kuriloff Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) — New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez will sit out this week’s National Football League game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an injured right knee. Kellen Clemens will start in Sanchez’s place. Coach Rex Ryan said that he was taking the advice of team doctors and benching Sanchez, who sprained his knee diving to pick up a first down in the third quarter of last week’s win over the Buffalo Bills. “I just think we’d be taking an unnecessary risk,” Ryan told reporters . “I think it’s in the best interests of him and of our football team that we make this decision and that we do it now.” Ryan said Sanchez was “mad as a hornet” at his coach, “but that’s good. I was mad at him, he’s mad at me, so we’re even.” Ryan said after the Bills game that he’s encouraging Sanchez to avoid risky play. New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi visited the Jets’ training center last week to give Sanchez sliding lessons.

Dolphins Running Back Ronnie Brown to Miss Rest of Season With Foot Injury

November 18, 2009

By Erik Matuszewski Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) — Miami Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown will miss the rest of the National Football League season because of a right foot injury. Brown, 27, ran for a team-leading 648 yards and his eight rushing touchdowns were tied for fourth-most in the NFL. He also took direct snaps from center in Miami’s “Wildcat” formation, which doesn’t use a quarterback. Brown was hurt during the Dolphins’ 25-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 15 and today was placed on the season-ending injured reserve list, the team said. Ricky Williams will take over as the lead back for the Dolphins, who at 4-5 are tied with the New York Jets for second place in the American Football Conference’s East Division. Williams has rushed for 558 yards and six scores. To contact the reporter on this story: Erik Matuszewski in New York at matuszewski@bloomberg.net

Giants Lose Fourth Straight Game in NFL as Colts, Saints Remain Unbeaten

November 8, 2009

By Erik Matuszewski Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) — The Indianapolis Colts remained one of two undefeated teams in the National Football League with a 20-17 win over Houston, while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers picked up their first victory in almost a year. The Colts improved to 8-0 as Peyton Manning passed for 318 yards and Joseph Addai scored two touchdowns at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Colts blew a 13-3 lead during the second half before Addai’s two-yard touchdown run with 7:11 left in the fourth quarter gave them the lead for good. Indianapolis and the New Orleans Saints are the only two undefeated teams left in the NFL. The Saints (7-0) host the Carolina Panthers today. The Buccaneers had been the league’s only winless team before today’s 38-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Rookie Josh Freeman’s third touchdown pass gave the Buccaneers a 31-28 lead with 4:14 left and Tanard Jackson scored on a 35-yard interception return with 35 seconds remaining to clinch the team’s first win since Nov. 30 of last season. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Chicago Bears 41-21 as quarterback Kurt Warner tied a career-best with five touchdown passes at Soldier Field in Chicago, a week after throwing five interceptions in a loss to Carolina. Randy Moss hauled in a 71-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady as the New England Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 27-17 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. It was the 140th career touchdown reception for Moss, who tied Terrell Owens for second place all-time behind Jerry Rice (197). In other NFL games during Week 9 of the regular season, it was Atlanta 31, Washington 17; Cincinnati 17, Baltimore 7; and Jacksonville 24, Kansas City 21.
