NASCAR
A pileup at Talladega knocked Little E out of the Chase, but Jimmie Johnson remains in the driver's seat • Tony Stewart's 43-race victory drought ends

The NFL
The Cardinals tried it and failed, but the Patriots are confident that staying on the coast is the right move • Will Miami's Wildcat offense keep purring?

Fantasy Football
Kyle Orton's prospects rise while those of a more regarded QB in his division fall • Pick up the kicker from one of the league's best offenses

OUT OF REACH
Michigan State wideout Mark Dell couldn't quite pull in Brian Hoyer's pass during last Saturday's Big Ten game against Iowa. Hawkeyes safety Brett Greenwood applied the pressure. The Spartans still prevailed, 16--13, in East Lansing, Mich.
