Monday Night's Quick Hits

Monday September 26, 2005
ESPN reports that league officials have revealed an extra 52 seconds were inadvertently added to the fourth quarter of the Steelers-Pats game. New England scored on an Adam Vinatieri field goal from 43 yards out with just one of those 52 seconds still on the clock to edge the Steelers 23-20.

The Kansas City Chiefs cost me a 10-to-1 payoff on my parlay card (not that I gamble or anything) on Monday Night. And they didn't need an extra 52 seconds to do it.

The Associated Press has learned Minnesota safety and special teams captain Willie Offord will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

The San Francisco 49ers are moving Mike Rumph back to cornerback.

The Detroit Lions got back to work Monday after having not played during the bye week. (They didn't really play the week before in Chicago either.)

Despite gutting it out on Sunday, the Philadelphia Inquirer says Eagles kicker David Akers will be on the shelf for a while with a torn hamstring.
