AJACCIO, Corsica -- World rally championship leader Sebastien Ogier won the Tour of Corsica on Sunday but will need to wait a bit longer before securing a fourth world title. Cheap Randy Jones Jersey .The Frenchman dominated the asphalt rally from the opening leg, when he swept all four stages, then comfortably held onto his lead in wet conditions to win by 46.4 seconds.What I really wanted was to win this rally, said Ogier, whose previous win at his home rally was in 2013, when the race was held in the northeastern region of Alsace. Its my first win in Corsica ... We showed strong pace on the first day and managed the rest of the weekend perfectly.Driving a Hyundai, Belgiums Thierry Neuville ended runner-up ahead of Ogiers Volkswagen teammate Andreas Mikkelsen, who was a further 23.6 seconds behind. It was Mikkelsens first podium finish since winning in Poland in July.Ogier extended his overall lead over Mikkelsen to 68 points and can seal the title at the Rally of Catalunya, from Oct. 13-16. The Frenchman needs 16 more points to become only the fourth driver with four world rally titles.British driver Kris Meeke won both Sundays stages but finished 16th after hitting a tree early on Saturday.

The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos. http:///...key-henderson-jersey . 4 Villanova with a 96-68 drubbing on Monday. Wragge hit 9-of-14 from behind the arc, matching Kyle Korvers school record for 3-pointers in a game set in 2003, as Creighton (16-3, 6-1 Big East broke a conference record with 21 treys in the rout. Dak Prescott is looking more and more capable of becoming the first rookie starting quarterback to take his team to a Super Bowl.Whatever whispers there were as recently as a month ago that Prescott would be replaced in the Dallas Cowboys lineup when Tony Romo returned from a back injury, forget about it. Romo is healthy now -- and he is most definitely the backup.Prescott, only a fourth-round draft pick, just keeps producing, pairing with another rookie, running back Ezekiel Elliott, to lead Dallas to a 9-1 record on the strength of the first nine-game winning streak within a single season of the storied franchises history.Prescotts latest impressive performance came in a 27-17 victory Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, a team that entered the day with the NFLs No. 1 defense. All Prescott did was shake off punts on Dallas opening four possessions to wind up 27 of 36 for 301 yards and a trio of TD passes.With the outcome in the balance, Prescott completed 14 of 15 throws in the second half, leading Dallas on drives of 92 and 88 yards, capping each with a scoring toss to Dez Bryant.Clearly, the kid can play. Hes also seen as a leader.Were going to follow that guy. Were going to continue to keep following that guy, Bryant said. The way that he adjusts and the way he handles his business, it says a lot about him.Prescott and first-round pick Elliott -- if anyone else receives serious consideration for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, it would be an upset -- have been consistent as can be this season. So even if its surprising to hear Cowboys owner Jerry Jones insist hell continue to stay away from Super Bowl chatter, its OK for everyone else to consider it a real possibility for his team.In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL seasons 11th Sunday:TEARING IT UPRedskins WR Pierre Garcon made quite a sideline statement as Washington beat defensively challenged Green Bay 42-24 on Sunday night to set up a Thanksgiving Day showdown against division rival Dallas: He ripped a yellow foam Cheesehead in half.DIRTY DOZENGive the NFL credit for getting this one right: Hoping to add some intriguue before last season to the ever-boring extra point, the league made it the equivalent of a 35-yard kick instead of 18. Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic. On Sunday, a record 12 PATs went awry -- including two each by Mike Nugent of the Bengals and Robbie Gould of the Giants. Consider this: In 2014, at the old distance, eight extra points were missed all season. Two significant takeaways: No more assuming that a TD is worth seven points, and 2-point conversions are going to increase in popularity.NOT HAPPYCardinals coach Bruce Arians did not want to discuss the officiating after his teams 30-24 loss to the Vikings, but his son wasnt shy about expressing his thoughts on one particular key play, firing off a tweet with an obscenity directed at the NFL and its game officials. Jake Arians -- who kicked for the Buffalo Bills in 2001 -- was angry about what happened right before Minnesotas Xavier Rhodes took back one of his two interceptions 100 yards for a TD: The Cardinals thought receiver John Brown was held by Vikings defensive back Captain Munnerlyn before the pick. Im sure well turn that into the league, Arizona QB Carson Palmer said, and Im sure theyll come back and say it was holding.CATCHING, TOOSeattle QB Russell Wilson is known for his running ability and passing, of course, but he revealed another talent in a 26-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles: He can catch, too. Finally looking healthy the past two weeks after struggling with leg injuries for the seasons first two months, Wilson scored with an over-the-shoulder, 15-yard TD grab on a throw from wideout Doug Baldwin.ELIMINATEDWhat some might have figured was a foregone conclusion since, oh, Week 1 or so is now official: The Cleveland Browns were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention by falling to 0-11 with a 24-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Could 0-16 be far behind?---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
