He complained of a tired leg late last week, and the leg became sore during Sunday's 19-3 loss to the New York Giants. Novak was 5-of-7 on field-goal attempts in five games during Hall's absence last year, including a winning kick in overtime against Seattle. Both of his misses were blocked. Novak later kicked in five games for the Arizona Cardinals after Neil |

Baltimore is 0-2 all-time against Carolina, including a 10-7 loss in the 2002 season-opener. That game marked the first win for Panthers head coach John Fox, who served as defensive coordinator on the 2000 New York Giants team that fell to the Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. Current Ravens offensive coordinator Jim Fassel was the head coach of that Giants club. |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -A third day of tests Tuesday found no broken bones in the right foot or ankle of New York Giants Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey, who was hobbled during last Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Shockey was forced off the field in the 19-3 win over Washington with what was described as a foot injury. X-rays after the game did not reveal any broken bones. More tests Monday also found no problem. Shockey had one catch against Washington for 13 yards, giving him a do |

Only the Green Bay Packers (28) have allowed more passes of 20-plus yards than Washington (21). The New York Giants set up scores with completions of 44, 46, 27 and 21 yards against the Redskins in Sunday's 19-3 victory at the Meadowlands. The Giants' 411 yards were the most by an opponent since Williams took over the defense in 2004. The Redskins (2-3) are ran |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Oft-injured Pro Bowl tight end Jeremy Shockey of the New York Giants underwent a test near his right ankle on Monday and had another one scheduled for Tuesday.

However, Shockey had more tests in the area of his ankle on Monday and more were planned, coach Tom Coughlin said. ``Quite frankly, to be honest with y |

The Dolphins are 1-4 and have lost seven of the last eight games at the Meadowlands, not including a 2003 win over the stadium's other tenant, the New York Giants. Only one team in Miami history has recovered from a 1-4 start or worse to finish with a .500 record; the 1986 Dolphins rallied to end that season 8-8, yet still missed the playoffs. Still, such a start isn't always a death knell. There are nine |

The Chargers took Eli Manning with the No. 1 pick, then sent him to the New York Giants for Rivers and a fistful of picks. Roethlisberger went to the Steelers with the 11th pick. Roethlisberger at least has what the Chargers haven't come close to getting: a Super Bowl ring. It was also another matchup between coaching pals Cowher a |
