| CINCINNATI - With the help of replay that went their way, the Bengals held on for a win. Eagles Jerseys .Then they glanced at the rest of the AFC North results and realized what had happened.The defending division champions are once again in control.A 14-13 win in Tampa on Sunday left the Bengals (8-3-1) with more than a game lead over the rest of the division. Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland all lost, falling to 7-5.And the schedule gives Cincinnati a chance to finish it off. The Bengals play two against the Steelers and a game in Cleveland during December.Safety George Iloka described it as a sense of relief when the Bengals realized that the division race has finally broken open — and broken Cincinnatis way. The Bengals host the Steelers on Sunday with a chance to all but eliminate the Steelers from the division title race.Weve just got a little more breathing room, Iloka said on Monday. It always helps when we win a game and other teams lose. Guys were definitely happy about that.The NFLs toughest division finally has a clear-cut leader.All three teams were three games over .500 — an NFL first — heading into the weekend. The Bengals played one of their poorest games and got the help of a replay overturn in the closing seconds. A review showed that Tampa Bay had 12 players on the field for a pass completion that had moved the Buccaneers well into field-goal range.That one replay changed everything in the division.Cincinnati is in solid shape to reach the playoffs for the fourth season in a row. And the Bengals are heading into December on a hot streak.The win at Tampa Bay marked the third straight week the Bengals had won on the road, which is a franchise first. The defence has finally straightened out, which is the most encouraging sign.And Cincinnati takes a lot of confidence and what amounts to a 1 1/2-game lead into the final stretch of the season.Its winning time, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said on Monday. This is when you grow. This is when the real players show up, because this is an opportunity to really make something special happen.People remember what you do in December. Thats the old term: December, January football is where its at.January has been Cincinnatis worst month. The Bengals have lost opening-round playoff games each of the past three seasons — two in Houston, last year at home to San Diego — and havent gotten a post-season victory since the 1990 season.The whole theme of this season was to get to the playoffs again, and win this time. A 24-3 loss to Cleveland at Paul Brown Stadium on Nov. 6 in a Thursday night game knocked them out of first place, but theyve regained control with those three straight road wins.The biggest questions in December involve Andy Dalton, who was sick in Tampa and threw three first-half interceptions before helping the Bengals pull it out. Dalton has been erratic all season — he had a passer rating of only 2.0 in the loss to Cleveland — and will be under the biggest scrutiny heading down the stretch.Coach Marvin Lewis said on Monday that he never considered benching Dalton on Sunday even though he was sick and played so poorly in the first half — 7 of 11 for 62 yards with three interceptions and a passer rating of 39.In the second half, Dalton went 12 of 16 for 114 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 115.1.I thought he did a great job coming back in the second half after having a very, very poor first half, Lewis said. He missed throws, he missed things that hes supposed to do within the offence, and he heard about it at halftime. I thought he responded to it.He came back and played a great second half.Notes: The Bengals placed LB Jayson DiManche on the injured reserve list with a broken right forearm suffered on Sunday. Theyll look at their options before filling his roster spot. ... The right tackle job is open to competition. Marshall Newhouse and Clint Boling shared time there Sunday. Starter Andre Smith is out for the rest of the season with a torn left triceps.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Avonte Maddox Jersey . Unfortunately for Toronto, that surge was too much to handle as the Stars scored six straight goals and ended the Marlies season with a 6-2 victory on Tuesday. Toronto had built a 2-0 lead on goals by Frazer McLaren and Peter Holland, but Texas charged back with a wild rally late in the second period to spark its trip to the Calder Cup final. Dallas Goedert Eagles Jersey .ca. Hi Kerry, Love reading your column and loved watching your analysis on the TSN broadcasts!And were now in Round 2! Bruins! Canadiens! We know all about the great games of the past from the players, the broadcasters and the writers. http://www.eaglespromart.com/dallas-goedert-eagles-jersey/ . - Rookie Kyle Larson will start from the pole position Saturday night in the NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway after a thunderstorm arrived just in time to wash out qualifying.UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Kyle Okposo called former Islanders star Bryan Trottier a mentor. He made his teacher proud on a night New Yorks career-leading scorer was honoured on Long Island.Okposo scored three of his career-high four goals in a wild third period, and the Islanders rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 and move back on top of the Eastern Conference on Friday night.When I came into the league, my first rookie camp (Trottier) was there, Okposo said. I just kind of picked his brain. The way that he carried himself and still carries himself is something that I really look up to and try to emulate.Trottier won the Stanley Cup four times with the Islanders and twice with the Penguins. He tops New Yorks career scoring list with 1,353 points.Okposo seemed to be trying to catch him in one night.He netted New Yorks first goal, got the tying tally in the third, put his team ahead moments later, and then punctuated the Islanders fourth straight win with goal No. 4 inside an electric Nassau Coliseum.To score four is pretty special, said Okposo, who has 13 overall this season and a career-best 13 against the Penguins. The atmosphere — it was awesome out there. I havent really heard it that loud since we played these guys in the (2013) playoffs.The Penguins seemed poised to overtake the Islanders atop the Metropolitan Division and tie Tampa Bay for first in the East, but they failed to hold leads of 2-0 and 3-2.Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby had two goals and an assist in a losing cause.We just didnt raise our level enough in the third. We didnt make smart plays, Crosby said. They are a good team. You give them chances like that, they are going to put them in.Okposo cut New Yorks deficit to 2-1 in the first period, tied it 3-3 at 6:42 of the third, and put the Islanders ahead with 8:09 remaining. He added an insurance power-play goal with 2:39 remaining, and Michael Grabner scored an empty-net goal with 1:13 left.They took the momentum with the tying goal. Had a real surge, Penguins coach Mike Johnston said. They took over the game.Okposo had help from his linemates, captain John Tavares and Josh Bailey, who both had three assists. Bailey sent a perfect feed to Okposo in the slot for the go-ahead goal.I seem to have some puck luck agaainst them, Okposo said. Josh Sweat Jersey. They have been such a good team for a long time. They did a really good job of limiting our opportunities. They frustrated us.Crosby gave the Penguins the lead in the first with a power-play goal and then assisted on David Perrons man-advantage tally. He scored again with 4.4 seconds left in the second period to break a 2-2 tie.Crosbys three points gave him 50 this season, tying him for the team lead with Evgeni Malkin, who had one assist. The Islanders (30-13-1) lead Pittsburgh (26-11-6) by three points.New York, which returned from a 5-2 trip, has won four straight. The Islanders are 3-1 against Pittsburgh this season with one meeting remaining.Our division is heating up and there are some really good teams that are chasing us now, Okposo said. We just want to keep getting better.Jaroslav Halak made 21 saves and outdueled fellow All-Star Marc-Andre Fleury, who stopped 29 shots and heard taunting chants of his name.Ryan Strome added a goal for New York, and Tavares notched his 200th NHL assist.Were in first place now, but that can change real quick, Tavares said. All these wins are big wins, but youve got to go out there and continue that.Crosby made it 1-0 when he put in a rebound of Chris Kunitzs shot with 9:08 left in the first.Just 1:30 later, Crosby helped set up Perrons ninth goal and fourth in five games since being acquired from Edmonton on Jan. 2.The Penguins scored two goals on two shots in 55 seconds of combined power-play time in the first. After netting only two man-advantage goals in 10 games, Pittsburgh has four in the past three.New Yorks second power play failed to produce a goal, but the Islanders cut the deficit in half just seconds after the advantage. Tavares drove down the left side of the Penguins zone, made a slick move to get around defenceman Simon Despres, and slid a pass across the crease to Okposo, who guided the puck in with his skate with 3:09 left.Strome tied it with 7:29 left in the second when he swept in a loose puck in the crease, but Crosby put the Penguins back ahead 3-2 during a delayed penalty.NOTES: The Islanders have outshot their opponents in 15 straight games. ... The Penguins recalled D Scott Harrington from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL).
