Rogers' 23-inning scoreless streak is tied with Jerry Reuss (1981 Dodgers) for the third-longest in a single postseason, trailing only Lew Burdette's 24 innings for Milwaukee in 1957 and Christy Mathewson's 27 for the New York Giants in 1905. "I'm no Christy Mathewson, that's for sure, but I've had scoreless streaks before," Rogers said. "I'm so glad it's happening now for us as a team, it helps us win. But I will never put myself in the category of someone like that or even rem |

Now Bledsoe and his blockers are bracing for another challenge Monday night - the New York Giants, who boast a defense that just sacked Michael Vick seven times. If the Giants (3-2) got to the slithery Vick seven times, what will they do to the, uh, non-slithery Bledsoe? As a point of reference, consider what they did to him last December: F |

Brown was beaten by Plaxico Burress for a game-winning, 31-yard TD catch in a 30-24 overtime loss to the New York Giants in Week 2. Lewis, a Pro Bowl selection two years ago, bit on a fake and gave up Joe Horn's tying 48-yard TD catch in a 27-24 loss to the Saints last week. Lewis was replaced by second-year pro Sean Considine and both are expected to play against T |

| |
| (MySportsbook) - The winner of Monday night's skirmish between the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium will be labeled a contender. The loser, meanwhile, could very well be branded a fraud. In the contentious NFC East division race, the margin for error is slim enough that one performance, whether good or bad, will elicit a world of judgment from the outside. The team that moves to 4-2 on Monday will be described as a foremost division contender along with the resurgent Philadelphia Eagles. |

While the Steelers made a statement this past Sunday, the Falcons were handed a tough loss on their home field by the New York Giants. Atlanta held a 14-3 edge early in the third quarter, but the Giants closed the game out with 24 unanswered points. The score has yet to be close at the end of a Falcons game this season.

| East Rutherford, NJ (MySportsbook) - New York Giants running back Tiki Barber hinted again Thursday this will be his final season in the NFL, but hinged a bit when asked if his decision to retire was 100 percent. "It's week six of the NFL season, so I won't say that," Barber said. "I know that I have the Dallas Cowboys to come this week, and I have ten games after that. That's what's important. That's whats important for this locker room." Barber's retirement story was brought into the limelight by the New |

He's probably one of the fastest people in the league, so we're going to have our problems just trying to keep him in the pocket.'' The Steelers can take a hint from the New York Giants, who sacked Vick seven times last week in a 27-14 victory. They took an aggressive yet disciplined approach, preventing Vick from getting to the edge, and put big hits on him - including a cheap shot as he stepped out of bounds in the closing minute |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -New York Giants all-time leading rusher Tiki Barber said Thursday that he is firm in his decision to retire after the season. ``I've been talking about retirement for years now, and it has nothing to do with being physical or money or Hall of Fame,'' Barber said. ``It's all about my desires, and for me to change them would compromise my integrity and would compromise who I am as a person and what I've always stood for.''
