OFFENSE: WR HINES WARD, PITTSBURGH STEELERS • Before a national audience in Heinz Field Sunday night against division rival Cleveland, Pittsburgh’s HINES WARD caught a game-high eight passes for 124 yards (15.5-yard average), including a 51-yard TD catch from fellow receiver ANTWAAN RANDLE EL on a reverse option pass in a 34-21 victory.

    SGT. YORK TROPHY In July 2007, the Nashville Sports Council and the Ohio Valley Con- ference announced the creation of the Sergeant York Trophy which goes to the winner of the quadrangular season football series between the four Ohio Valley Conference schools located in the state of Tennessee – Austin Peay State University, University of Tennessee at Martin, Tennessee State University and Tennessee Technological University. The award is only the second traveling trophy that involves more than two teams in college sports; the other is the Commander in Chief’s Trophy which has been contested between Air Force, Army and Navy annually since 1972. The award is presented by Delta Dental of Tennessee and Farm Bureau Health Plans of Tennessee. In a close race, Tennessee State and Austin Peay shared the inaugural award, fi nishing with identical 2-1 records in 2007. Tennessee State took the trophy home with it thanks to a one-point victory in overtime over the Governors; that game was decided by a blocked extra point by NFL First Round Draft Pick Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. The award is named in honor of Alvin C. York, the most noted Soldier of World War I. As a corporal in the 2nd battalion, 328th Infantry, in the Battle of the Meuse River-Argonne (Oct. 8, 1918), York and seven other soldiers captured 132 prisoners, was promoted to sergeant and received the Distinguished Service Cross, the French Croix de Guerre, the French Legion of Honor, the Croce di Guerra of Italy and the War Medal of Montenegro. Upon his return to the United States in 1919, he was bestowed the Congressional Medal of Honor.

  • Colts Keep Rolling: Go for 9-0; Season's Second Half
    NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE 280 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017 (212) 450-2000 * FAX (212) 681-7573 WWW.NFLMedia.com Joe Browne, Executive Vice President-Communications Greg Aiello, Vice President-Public Relations FOR USE AS DESIRED NFL-REG-10 11/8/05 COLTS KEEP ROLLING: GO FOR 9-0; SEASON’S SECOND HALF KICKS OFF WITH BIG DIVISION CLASHES 8-0 and 16-of-17. Those records for this season and over the past two seasons are the NFL’s best. And they both belong to the Indianapolis Colts. With their 40-21 victory Monday night over New England, the Colts are the NFL’s only undefeated team…only the 23rd club in history with an 8-0 record (their best start ever)…and the winningest club (16 of 17, .941) over their past 17 regular-season weeks. This Sunday against Houston, they can become the first club to go 9-0 since the 2003 Kansas City Chiefs. “We’re halfway there,” says Colts running back EDGERRIN JAMES. “We’ve got to keep it rolling.” The Colts are definitely rolling as the NFL begins the second half of its 2005 season, but there are other teams that are also moving along quite nicely, some surprisingly so off their record of last year. Three of the NFL’s divisions are led by teams that did not reach the playoffs last year – the AFC North (Cincinnati, 7-2; 8- 8 in 2004), NFC East (New York Giants, 6-2; 6-10) and NFC North (Chicago, 5-3; 5-11). Carolina (6-2; 7-9), which missed the playoffs last year, is tied with Atlanta for the NFC South lead.
