| ad them to their fifth straight win last week, because the defense did all the work. The Titans are likely to require more of Young's services on Sunday, when they put the streak and their slim playoff hopes on the line against the similarly hopeful Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Tennessee tied a franchise record with three defensive touchdowns in a 24-17 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last Sunday at LP Field. Chris Hope and Pacman Jones both returned interceptions for touchdowns, while a third de |

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -The past two weeks have been a microcosm of the Miami Dolphins' season. On Dec. 10, they beat the New England Patriots, 21-0. This past Sunday, they lost to the Buffalo Bills, 21-0. ``This is a week-to-week, a day-to-day job,'' center Rex Hadnot said. ``You're only as good as your last game and obviously, we didn't perform well in our last game.'' Inconsistency has been the most consistent theme for the Dolphins in 2006, which will wind up being the franchise's fifth consecutive |

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -Receiver Peerless Price returned to practice Thursday, but the Buffalo Bills fear they could be without starting fullback Daimon Shelton against Tennessee. Coach Dick Jauron gave Shelton ``an outside chance'' of playing after he missed his second straight practice because of a concussion sustained in a 21-0 win over Miami last Sunday. If Shelton can't play, the Bills would use reserve tight end Brad Cieslak as their primary fullback. Jauron was more hopeful about Price, saying |

| New York, NY (MySportsbook) - San Diego Chargers standout running back LaDainian Tomlinson, Indianapolis Colts defensive end Dwight Freeney and Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman took home the weekly AFC honors for Week 15 of the 2006 campaign. Offensively, Tomlinson continued his MVP-like year with a season-high 199 rushing yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns in San Diego's 20-9 win over the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday night. The six-year veteran's first touchdown of 15 yards was his 180th point o |

| t Michael Corleone's signature line in that movie pretty much sums up my feelings towards the New York Jets. The Jets were left for dead last week with regard to the playoff picture in the AFC after giving a half-hearted effort in a home loss to the Buffalo Bills. But with their season on the line and their backs against the wall, the Jets, as they have done all year under first year head coach Eric Mangini, bounced back on the road and defeated the Minnesota Vikings, 26-13, at the Metrodome.

| (MySportsbook) - Buffalo Bills quarterback J.P. Losman had one his best performances as a pro in Sunday's 21-0 victory over the AFC East-rival Miami Dolphins. Losman threw for 200 yards and matched a career high with three touchdown passes for a career best rating of 142.5 in a 21-0 shutout at a wet and windy Ralph Wilson Stadium. Losman, who is learning a new system, has put in back- to-back solid efforts, both wins, and hasn't thrown an interception since a Week 13 loss against San Diego. "As the season |

| Zach Attack: Thomas shines in Buffalo |

12/20/2006 |
| |
| (MySportsbook) - Zach Thomas was all over the field on Sunday, but his sterling 21-tackle effort went for naught in Miami's 21-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Not only was it Miami's second loss in three games, but it also finished the team's faint playoff hopes. The Dolphins were officially eliminated from postseason contention. But Thomas could not be faulted. In addition to his 11 solo tackles and 10 assists, he also forced a pair of fumbles. The 21 stops tied his second-best total in the regular season. |
