Overdosing on injuries

Football: It may not have been pretty, but it was a win for Big Blue who took down the Steelers, 21-14...Plaxico Burress did not start after missing a scheduled treatment on his neck Saturday...Brett Favre lead the Jets to a 28-24 victory over the Chiefs...According to his wife Deanna, Brett's the same old guy, even after this latest round of rumors...The Cowboys edged the Bucs, 13-9, but not without cost, as TE Jason Witten went out with bruised ribs...The Saints held onto a 37-32 win over the Chargers in London...Probably not a debut to remember for Mike Singletary and the 49ers...Click here for the rest of Sunday's scores.

Hockey: Red Wings forward Johan Franzen will be out for three to four weeks with a sprained left knee. The injury was suffered during the Wings 6-5 SO victory over the Blackhawks...After missing the first four games with injury, Rick DiPietro is questionable for Monday's game against the Rangers after leaving during Saturday night's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes...Speaking of the Rangers, after a scary incident in the second period of their 3-1 win over the Blue Jackets in which coach Tom Renney was hit in the head with a hockey stick, Renney took to the bench in the Rangers 3-2 OT win over the Penguins...The NHL trade deadline is reportedly being moved to March 4.



Nascar: Congratulations to Carl Edward on winning at Atlanta on Sunday.
