Atlanta Falcons 12/05/2006 10:19 AMThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Falcons rookie RB Jerious Norwood, too caught up in the moment to truly grasp the magnitude and excitement of his 69-yard touchdown run that sealed Atlanta's 24-14 victory over Washington on Sunday, got to watch himself on film during Monday's team meeting. "That was a big thumbs up," said Norwood, whose down-home delivery sounds as if he's got you on the porch, telling you tales of yesteryear. "It happened so fast. It was like an outside zone stretch play. The corner was thinking I was going outside, but I set him up like I was going outside and made a cut inside. When I made him miss, it was off to the races then. The last line of defense, I just got him all turned around. Before I knew it, I was in the end zone.

Detroit Lions 12/05/2006 8:22 AMThe Detroit Free Press reports HC Rod Marinelli said the Lions would probably look at DT Shaun Rogers one more time this week and then decide whether to put him on injured reserve, ending his season. In October, when he received a four-game suspension for using a banned dietary supplement, Rogers took the opportunity to have minor surgery to correct a nagging knee problem. Since becoming eligible to play again, Rogers has missed two games.Read more
