Yesterday in Sports: NFL Week 15

Many teams clinched their playoff births yesterday, some even clinched their divisions. The Broncos, Patriots and Colts all clinched their division and will all get at least one home game during the playoffs. The Patriots clinched by beating the Miami Dolphins 41-13. The game was close going in to the second half as the Pats lead 14-13, but they outscored Miami 27-0 in the second half. Tom Brady threw for 287 yards and two touchdowns, including a 27 yard touchdown to Rob Gronkowski in the third quarter.

The Broncos beat the Chargers 22-10 in San Diego yesterday. Peyton Manning threw for 233 yards and a TD even though he was playing with flu-like symptoms. Phillip Rivers threw two interceptions and only one touchdown in the loss. C.J. Anderson rushed for 85 yards on 29 attempts for Denver.

The Colts beat the Texans to clinch their division yesterday. The final was 17-10. Luck threw for under 200 yards with 2 TD's while Tom Savage came in for the Texans to replace injured Ryan Fitzpatrick. Savage had 127 yards and 1 interception.

The Cardinals also clinched the playoffs yesterday due to the Eagles loss to the Cowboys, 38-27. The win for Dallas puts them back into first in the NFC East. Mark Sanchez tossed 2 INTs and 0 TDs while Tony Romo lead the Cowboys with 3 TDs and no INTs. The Bill's upset the Packers 21-13. No touchdowns were thrown in this game and both QBs combined for 3 INTs.

In the NBA Kobe Bryant passed Michael Jordan on the all time scoring list, moving into third. It was his 32,293 he passed him on. Kobe is over 6,000 points away from Kareem for 1st on the list...

The Chicago White Sox signed Melky Cabrera to a 3 year contract in the $40 millions. He hit over .300 last season to go along with his 16 HRs.
