CINCINNATI -- A pair of third-place teams knew exactly what this one meant. Deacon Jones Womens Jersey . Either the Bills or the Bengals were going to walk off the field feeling their season was just about gone.Despite losing two more key players, the Bills were the ones still standing at the end.LeSean McCoy ran 7 yards for a touchdown before suffering a thumb injury on Sunday, and Buffalos defense held on at the end for a 16-12 victory over Cincinnati Bengals.Were in a desperate position, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said. You look at it: We were kind of two teams teetering on the brink.The Bills (5-5) had lost three straight heading into their bye week. When they lost both McCoy and top receiver Robert Woods in the first half, things looked bleak. They piled up 183 yards on the ground -- the most against the Bengals this season -- to bust out of their long slump.Theyve got yet more injury problems, but at least theyre still in position to end their run of 16 seasons without a playoff appearance.I feel deflated about the injuries, coach Rex Ryan said. I know what this team can do. If we are healthy, we are going to be pretty tough.By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in six years.Playing their first game at Paul Brown Stadium in nearly a month, they couldnt move the ball consistently or make an extra point.Yes, its tiring, cornerback Adam Pacman Jones said. Its depressing. Its nerve-wracking. Whatever you want to call it.To make matters worse for Cincinnati, receiver A.J. Green left with a severely injured right hamstring on the Bengals first pass of the game. He couldnt bend the leg and was taken off on a cart.You never want to lose a guy like that, quarterback Andy Dalton said. Hes the best receiver in the league, so when you lose him it hurts.Some takeaways from Buffalos slump-busting win:RUN IT: Even with McCoy out, the Bills showed why they were ranked No. 2 in the league in rushing. Mike Gillislee filled in and picked up 72 yards, averaging 5.1 per carry. The Bills averaged 5.4 overall against a defense that has struggled to stop the run all season.Its good to spread the ball around, said quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who ran for 39 yards. It wasnt pretty by any means, but we got a win and thats all that really matters.DEFENSIVE TURNAROUND: The Bills came in leading the league with 30 sacks, but theyd also given up a lot of big plays as well -- seven completions of at least 50 yards. After Green got hurt, they clamped down and didnt allow a completion of more than 21 yards. They knocked down Daltons desperation pass in the end zone to end it.Its a look-at-me-now moment, Bills linebacker Preston Brown said.A.J.s INJURY: The Bengals will be without Green for the foreseeable future. He ranked third in the league in catches and second in yards receiving. Hes their only consistent deep threat, and it showed against the Bills. None of the other receivers had a catch of more than 16 yards.CANT RUN IT: Cincinnati had trouble running the ball again, which played into the Bills hands. Jeremy Hill managed only 62 yards on 16 carries. The Bengals ran for a total of 93, only 3.4 yards per carry.All season, its been mistake after mistake, Hill said.UPRIGHT KICKS: Mike Nugent hit the upright on both of his extra-point attempts while compensating for the wind. Nugent also missed an extra point and a field goal during a 27-27 tie with Washington on Oct. 30 in London.It just drives me crazy to have a poor performance that contributes to a loss, Nugent said. Thats the second time thats happened this year, that Ive contributed enormously to a loss. If I did what I was brought here to do, wed have two less losses, in my opinion.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Nolan Cromwell Youth Jersey . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. Custom Los Angeles Rams Jerseys .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court. http:///...ckerson-rams-jersey/ . Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons. SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Fernando Alonso says he will make contact with Sebastian Vettel if the Ferrari driver repeats the move he pulled on him at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday.Vettel passed Alonso for seventh place on lap 42 at Interlagos, forcing the McLaren driver wide at the exit of Juncao and on to the run-off area. Alonso immediately complained over team radio, but race director Charlie Whiting saw no need to launch a stewards investigation into the move.Talking about the incident after the race, Alonso issued a warning to Vettel telling him not to attempt a similar move in the future.I dont think there will be any action against Vettel today, as they [the stewards] havent said anything yet, Alonso said. There was a tarmac run-off and I just used it, but if there was a wall for sure I would either have to hit the wall or hit him, which is what Ill do next time. Ill hit him and hell lose more points than me.Arguably, Alonso could have backed off, but he maintained Vettel wwas in the wrong. Deacon Jones Youth Jersey. .In the rain we dont have the same visibility as in the dry, the mirrors were wet too, so I couldnt see anything behind me. In the end nothing happened, I went down the tarmac run-off but there will come a day in which someone will have to hit him so that he understands the track is for all of us.Alonso finished the race tenth after a spin at the final restart behind the safety car and believes his car was capable of a lot more.There were quite a few mistakes today, many spins, I had my own that cost me a lot of places, but visibility was low. Starting 10th in a chaotic race should have given us the possibility to do better than 10th at the end.It was a very stressful race for everybody, the only thing you had to do was to keep the car on the road, so it was difficult, but we got a point and now theres just one race to go.
