Seahawks beat Cowboys 21-20 in stunner
Jan 6 2007 11:59PM (CT)
SEATTLE (AP) - All Tony Romo had to do was put the ball down and let Martin Gramatica make a short kick. He couldn't do it _ and the Seattle Seahawks are still alive in the NFL playoffs. Romo's botched hold on a 19-yard field goal try with 1:19 left forced the Pro Bowl quarterback to scramble left, but he was tackled at the 2 and the Seahawks escaped with a 21-20 victory in the wildest of wild-card games Saturday night.

Colts' D steps up in 23-8 win over K.C.
Jan 6 2007 11:57PM (CT)

At least it was for the most prolific passer of his generation.

Bill Cowher resigns as Steelers coach
Jan 6 2007 5:29AM (CT)
PITTSBURGH (AP) - His was the best known jaw in the NFL, a jutting block of granite that perfectly reflected his toughness and passion for winning.
