Tucker Sends Lions Into Playoff Mix Backwards

((HT: ESPN))

Justin Tucker seemed to be the only offense the Baltimore Ravens needed Monday with 6 field goals as they knocked off the Detroit Lions 18-16 in the Monday game of the week...

Here's the highlights of the Ravens winning ugly and not caring...


Harbaugh chose to let Tucker try the longest kick of his career -- by 5 yards -- instead of going for it on a 4th down and 8 from the Detroit 43.

"If they send me out there, they have reason to," Tucker said. "It's because they think I can make the kick."
Tucker told Harbaugh he was good from that distance after hitting from 53 earlier in the evening...and earlier in the quarter...

Detroit, now 7-7, has lost four of five, and are now third in the NFC North behind the Bears and Green Bay.

J.J. Whorton With The Catch Of The Year For Central Florida

Central Florida was trailing Temple 36-29 with two minutes left and then J.J. Whorton did this.



"Honestly it's a blur right now to me," Worton said. "Everyone is talking about it. I'll have to see if on film to remember it. I remember I caught it and after that everyone else was yelling and crazy. All glory to God right now. I couldn't be more happy with the team right now. It's a great day for UCF."

Whorton's touchdown just tied the game.  It took this Blake Bortles to Rannell Hall 64 yard completion....



To set up Shawn Moffitt's game winning field goal.



The Knights escaped Philly with a 39-36 win over Temple.

"I told the players when they go to church tomorrow, make sure they're in the front pew,"  UCF head coach George O'Leary said. "Somebody's looking out for them. That's why you never, never give up. That's the resiliency of the team."

Ole Miss Upsets LSU 27-24 Capping A Wild Day In The SEC

LSU's National Championship hopes died Saturday night in Oxford, Mississippi.

Ole Miss kicker Andrew Ritter nailed a 41 yard field goal with two seconds left to win it for the Rebels 27-24.



“I knew I had to make that second one." Ritter said.  "The first one was going to be the difference, but I was fortunate enough to have another opportunity. I had to for my team; I didn’t want to let them and these unbelievable fans down. I just put it in God’s hands and I was fortunate enough it went through.”

 "That kick will make memories of a lifetime for him." Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. "I envisioned it just how it happened."

The vision of Rebel fans celebrating a Magnolia Bowl win over Ole Miss and then the chaotic celebration in the Ole Miss locker is one Freeze won't forget.

“It’s pretty crazy in there right now." Freeze said.  "It’s great to beat one of your biggest rivals and to capture the Magnolia Bowl for Ole Miss."

Ole Miss defensive end Cameron Whigham summed up what Ole Miss' win over LSU means.

This is the biggest win of my life; I’m just so proud to be a part of the Ole Miss family and be able to compete with my brothers each Saturday for 60 minutes.”  Whigham said.
