Matt Hasselbeck went 25-for-34 with 198 yards and two scores while Justin Forsett and Deion Branch each caught a score for the Seahawks (5-7), who have won two straight. Victor Cruz JerseySAN DIEGO - Peyton Manning has his MVP award and nothing more, outdone again in January by the San Diego Chargers.Brandon Jacobs Jersey . Speedy little Darren Sproles scooted 22 yards for the winning score 6:20 into overtime and the Chargers beat the Colts 23-17 in an AFC wild-card game Saturday night, ending Indianapolis nine-game winning streak a day after Manning won his third Associated Press NFL MVP award. Sproles came up big on a night when the Chargers played the final 2 1/2 quarters without LaDainian Tomlinson, who stood on the sideline in obvious discomfort from a groin injury. Fifty years after the Baltimore Colts won the first overtime game in league history by the same score over the New York Giants for the NFL title, Indianapolis wasnt so fortunate. It was victimized by Sproles, who rushed 23 times for 105 yards, caught five passes for 45 yards, had 106 yards on four kickoff returns and 72 on three punt runbacks. "Its disappointing to lose a playoff game," Manning said. "We certainly had some chances to win, but give them credit. We had chances to put the game away, but we just didnt do it." The Chargers (9-8) won the overtime toss. Indys Darrell Reid called heads, but referee Ron Winters flip came up tails. Sproles sent the Chargers into the second round of the playoffs, either at Tennessee or Pittsburgh, by finishing off the only series of overtime with his TD run around left end against an exhausted defence for the Colts (12-5). San Diegos winning drive was aided by two defensive holding calls, the second against Tim Jennings on third-and-8. On the next play, Colts linebacker Clint Session was whistled for grabbing Sproles facemask. Sproles scored on the next play, shedding a defender at the five-yard line. Sproles TD run sent Qualcomm Stadium into bedlam. It was San Diegos fifth straight win; the Chargers needed the previous four victories to secure the AFC West title with an 8-8 record. Last season, the Chargers pulled off a 28-24 upset at Indianapolis in the divisional round after Philip Rivers and Tomlinson both went out with knee injuries. This was the fourth time the teams met in two seasons and the sixth time in five years. The Chargers have won four of the six. San Diego got its first sack of the game at a key time, when Tim Dobbins dropped Manning at the Colts 1 on third down with two minutes left, forcing a punt and giving the Chargers the ball at the Indy 38. Nate Kaeding kicked a 26-yard field goal with 31 seconds left to force overtime. It was the 25th overtime game in the post-season, including one game in the AFL. The last overtime game in the playoffs was last seasons NFC title game, won by the New York Giants and Mannings little brother, Eli, against Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. Another star for the Chargers was Mike Scifres, whose booming punts continually pinned the Colts deep in their territory. Scifres punted six times for an average of 52.7 yards, including a 67-yarder. Still, Manning caught the Chargers napping on a 72-yard touchdown play that for a while seemed like it was going to stand as the winner. Facing third-and-5 from the Colts 28, Manning quickly lined up and took an immediate snap that caught cornerback Antonio Cromartie so flat-footed he was looking at the Chargers bench when receiver Reggie Wayne went speeding past him and safety Paul Oliver. Wayne caught Mannings pass at the Chargers 45 and was gone for a 17-14 lead. The Colts came up with two turnovers in the end zone. Sproles was hit at the two-yard line and fumbled into the end zone late in the third quarter, with Raheem Brock recovering. Rivers kept San Diegos next drive alive with a 13-yard scramble followed by a one-yard sneak on fourth down, but then overthrew Chris Chambers in double coverage and was intercepted in the end zone by Antoine Bethea. The teams traded TDs early, with Indys Joseph Addai scoring on a one-yard run late in the first quarter and Tomlinson scoring on a three-yard run early in the second quarter. The Colts went ahead 10-7 on Adam Vinatieris 43-yard field goal midway through the second period before Sproles nine-yard run just before halftime put the Chargers ahead 14-10. Manning was 25-of-42 for 310 yards. Rivers was 20-of-36 for 216 yards, with one interception. Jordy Nelson Jersey . One of the teams owners, Washington businessman Bruce Levenson, said Monday "there is no truth to the rumour" the ownership group has been involved in discussions about taking the team out of Atlanta, including with a Vancouver group reportedly interested in relocating the Thrashers to Hamilton. Authentic Calvin Johnson Jersey . Les Blackhawks ont ainsi mis fin à une courte série de deux défaites et ont éviter de subir trois revers daffilée pour la première fois de la saison.

Johansson, who also scored a power-play goal 1:06 into the game, took Alexander Ovechkins centering pass and put a backhand shot past Carey Price for his 11th goal of the season to give Washington its third and final one-goal lead. Knuble added an insurance goal with his 17th with 3:07 left in the third. Jahvid Best Jersey . Bray hit 18-of-34 passes for the Vols (4-6, 1-5 SEC) who won their second straight and their first conference game in six tries.

Chinas snooker prodigy Ding Junhui left on Monday for his debutant show at the World Snooker Championships in Crucible Theater near London with the company of his broker and best friend. Chinas Ding Junhui reacts during the 2007 World Snooker China Open in the first round game against Barry Hawkins March 29 in Beijing. [Xinhua] The young man, who had just celebrated his 20th birthday last Sunday, yawned as he filled the form before the desk at the airport. I didnt have enough time for training these days at home and I will concentrate on that once I am in London, said Ding, fresh from three-month overseas competitions and kept busy with a host of engagements at home. With less than two weeks from his first appearance at the snookers top level tournament, where he is due to meet Rockets Ronnie OSullivan, his arch rival cum idol, during the first round, the young man seems not to be well-prepared for the do-or-die clash. To tell the truth, I have not felt the atmosphere of this top-level tournament, he said at the Beijing Capital International Airport before leaving. But I hhave already had many games with him (OSullivan), so I will see him as an ordinary rival, Ding encouraged himself. Authentic Ahmad Bradshaw Jersey. Things didnt go well since year beginning for China Ding, who is tipped as a future world number one by many of his rivals and snooker fans. He suffered a wild onslaught by OSullivan at the Masters final in January and then saddled first-round exits at two Opens later. That, however, was not the end of Dings low time this year as he was humiliated by a third earliest knockout this year at China Open by wildcard Barry Hawkins 5-3 late in March. Clearly, Ding was under pressure, said Hawkins, the person who also sent Ding off at last years Championships qualification. Though having not reached the realm of NBA star Yao Ming and hurdles sensation Liu Xiang, Ding has already drawn much attention home and abroad as a regarded future world number one. Now ranked world number nine, the promising world number one is desperate to get training in an aura of peace rather than being enveloped by media and fans wherever he goes. The 2007 World Snooker Championships will kick off April 22. ' ' '
