The TEN<\/p><\/div>\n

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)<\/p>\n

1. The Cincinnati Bengals’\u00a0A.J. McCarron\u00a0is the first Alabama player\u00a0to win an NFL game as a starting quarterback\u00a0since\u00a0Jeff Rutledge\u00a0did that for the New York Giants in 1987. McCarron, replacing the injured Andy Dalton,\u00a0led the Bengals to a 24-14 victory over San Francisco Sunday.<\/p>\n

2. Seattle’s Russell Wilson\u00a0is the first\u00a0quarterback in NFL history to pass for at least three touchdowns with no interceptions in five consecutive games.<\/p>\n

3. The Kansas City Chiefs, who beat Baltimore Sunday for their eighth straight win,\u00a0are the only team in league history to win eight straight immediately after\u00a0a five-game losing steak.<\/p>\n

4. Kobe Bryant scores 31 points to lead the Lakers to an 111-107 win over Denver\u00a0for their fifth victory of the season.<\/p>\n

5. The Dodgers announced Tuesday they will unveil a statue of Jackie Robinson at some point during the 2016 season.<\/p>\n

6. Hisashi Iwakuma, whose deal with the Dodgers fell through last week, might receive as much as $47.5 million in a three year deal with the Seattle\u00a0Mariners.<\/p>\n

7. Glendora is off to a 5-5 start under new HC Marcus Bryan,\u00a0after Tuesday night’s loss to Monrovia. Bryan took over for the legendary Mike Leduc who went to Damien.<\/p>\n

8. “El Rancho is starting a “bring Medrano to ER”\u00a0page.\u00a0lol…Desperate! Rather pathetic.”\u00a0– MVS Commenter “NewWorldOrder”.<\/p>\n

9. On this day in 1972\u00a0the “Immaculate Reception” gives the Pittsburgh Steelers an improbable\u00a013-7 win over the Oakland Raiders in the AFC Divisional Playoff\u00a0game. With 30 seconds left and the Steelers down 7-6, Franco Harris caught a pass from Terry Bradshaw\u00a0that was intended for Johnny “Frenchy” Fuqua. The pass bounced off the hands of Raiders’ safety\u00a0Jack Tatum\u00a0and was scooped up by Harris who ran for the game winning touchdown. There has been a controversy ever since because\u00a0people contend that the ball\u00a0 hit either Fuqua or the ground\u00a0either of which would have resulted in an incomplete\u00a0pass by the rules at the time.\u00a0The officials ruled touchdown.<\/p>\n

10. Happy Birthday to former Dodger and current Boston Red Sox star Hanley Ramirez who turns 33 today.<\/p>\n
