Tired of getting brushed back in the NL championship series, Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers came out ready to fight their way back against Philadelphia.  The result was a 7-2 victory on Sunday night to trim Philadelphia’s lead to 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

Both benches and bullpens cleared Sunday night in Game 3 of the NL championship series, moments after Los Angeles Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda threw a pitch over Shane Victorino’s head.

Jamie Moyer sure looked his age against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 45-year-old Philadelphia left-hander — the second-oldest pitcher to start a postseason game — put the Phillies in an early hole Sunday night and they never recovered.

Philip Rivers threw three touchdown passes and San Diego’s defense stuffed the New England Patriots for a dominating 30-10 win on Sunday.

Celizic: With four games were decided in the final 10 seconds and Cards beating Cowboys in overtime, never have NFL fans had so many reasons to watch every game to the bitter end.

Sean Morey blocked Mat McBriar’s punt and Monty Beisel scooped up the ball and scored from 3 yards to give the Arizona Cardinals a crazy 30-24 overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Josh Brown kicked a 49-yard field goal on the last play of the game Sunday, giving the St. Louis Rams a 19-17 upset of the Washington Redskins to end an eight-game losing streak over two seasons and make Jim Haslett a winner in his St. Louis head coaching debut.

Matt Schaub threw interceptions on Houston’s first two possessions, but ran for a 3-yard touchdown with 3 seconds left, leading the Texans to a 29-28 victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

Jason Elam made the most of his second chance, kicking a 48-yard field goal on the final play to give the Atlanta Falcons a stunning 22-20 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

A questionable pass interference penalty on Leigh Bodden put Minnesota’s woeful offense in position for a 26-yard field goal by Ryan Longwell with 9 seconds to go that lifted the Vikings to a 12-10 victory Sunday, keeping the Lions winless on the season.

Donovan McNabb and the Philadelphia defense wouldn’t allow a bizarre blocked field goal to ruin an otherwise dominant day.

There is a little secret these Jaguars carry. After starting 0-2, Jacksonville's now 3-3 entering its bye week. And when the Jaguars rest, convalesce and return from the bye their next six opponents own a combined record of 11-25.
