| head coach John Fox swore that his team would fight to the bitter end over the final three games of the season, despite its playoff chances hanging by a thread. But midway through the second half of the Panthers' 37-3 shellacking at the hands of the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, it became pretty apparent Fox's team had waved the white flag. Carolina, which now stands at 6-8 after suffering its fourth consecutive defeat, actually still has a remote chance of reaching the postseason because of the deplorable state |

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Bill Cowher sent this message Tuesday to those convinced he has decided not to return as the Pittsburgh Steelers' coach next season: Not so fast. Cowher cautioned he hasn't made up his mind whether to retire after this season, despite being unsigned past the 2007 season. He also insisted he hasn't dealt with any post-Super Bowl burnout and, at age 49, has not lost his desire to coach or deal with NFL players. ``I don't think so,'' Cowher said. ``Do I look burned out? I love the challenges a |

| Charlotte, NC (MySportsbook) - Carolina Panthers defensive end Mike Rucker will miss the rest of the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. Rucker suffered the injury in the second quarter of the Panthers' 37-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday when he got tangled up between players. "We'll miss him not just as a player but as a guy who's been out there through the good and the bad and is somebody we lean on," said Carolina head coach John Fox. Rucker's season ends with five sack |

"I knew it was going to be a feast or famine game," said Parker. "(The Panthers) have a tough defense, but the offensive line and the tight ends just stuck in there and kept pounding." Ben Roethlisberger threw for 140 yards and a touchdown, while also running for a score for the Steelers (7-7), who hav |

| (MySportsbook) - It's not the Super Bowl preview that some might have expected at the outset of the year, but Sunday's matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium projects as a heated battle nonetheless. The reigning world champion Steelers cling to a fraction of life in the postseason race, after Bill Cowher's team followed up its dismal 2-6 start by winning four of its last five contests.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -This is the week that can officially end the Carolina Panthers' season. A win over the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-7) on Sunday would keep Carolina (6-7) mathematically alive for a playoff spot. But a loss would certainly cement the Panthers' status as one of the biggest busts of 2006. Picked by many to win the Super Bowl this year, the Panthers must win their final three games of the year to have a chance to make the playoffs. It's hardly what Keyshawn Johnson signed up for when he agreed |
