NEW YORK, N.Y. - Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers hung on to the NFLs top spot after a closer-than-expected win against the Atlanta Falcons.The Packers (10-3) received nine of 12 first-place votes Tuesday in the AP Pro32 power rankings, which are decided by a media panel that regularly covers the league.The Packers led 31-7 at the half before getting a 43-37 victory over the Falcons on Monday night.(Packers) defence looked very shaky in home win, Fox Sports John Czarnecki said.The New England Patriots (10-3) earned two first-place votes and remained No. 2 after their 23-14 win over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday night.An impressive road win in San Diego, ESPNs Herm Edwards said of the Patriots. Darrelle Revis is making a huge impact for that defence.With tiebreakers against the other AFC division leaders, the Patriots are in a strong position to grab the top seed in the AFC. The can clinch the AFC East again with a victory at home over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.Tom Brady has been a screaming maniac on the sidelines this year. A very simple reason why: He knows this can be a special season — a Super Bowl season — and he wants to make certain everyone around him is prepared to seize the moment, Newsdays Bob Glauber said.The Seattle Seahawks (9-4) grabbed the other first-place vote and moved up from No. 5 to No. 3 after a 24-12 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.Were now seeing a Seattle team that looks a lot like last years Super Bowl winner, and that identity is returning at the right time in the season, said Jenny Vrentas of The Monday Morning Quarterback said.The Denver Broncos (10-3) and the Eagles (9-4) each dropped one spot to No. 4 and No. 5, respectively.The Arizona Cardinals (10-3) moved up to No. 6 after a 17-14 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs that ended a two-game losing streak.The Cardinals will probably make the playoffs, but a four-game stretch in which Arizona hasnt scored more than 18 points doesnt bode well for upcoming games against St. Louis and Seattle, Foxsports.coms Alex Marvez said.The Indianapolis Colts (9-4), who can clinch the AFC South win a win over the Houston Texans on Sunday, are at No. 7.The Colts are overcoming both the opposition and themselves of late, Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News said.The Detroit Lions (9-4), Dallas Cowboys (9-4) and Baltimore Ravens (8-5) rounded out the top 10.The Eagles and Cowboys play Sunday night in a matchup that could go a long way toward deciding the NFC East title.Its a rematch of Philadelphias 33-10 win on Thanksgiving. The game is in Philadelphia, but the Cowboys are 6-0 on the road this season.Will they finally win a must-win game in December? NBC Sports Tony Dungy asked of the Cowboys.The Washington Redskins (3-10), who have lost five in a row, fell to No. 30 ahead of only the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans, who are both 2-11.Robert Griffin III has already had more lives in the nations capital than Richard Nixon, said Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.___AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Derrick Coleman Jersey . The time off didnt slow them down. Tyler Zeller scored a season-high 18 points and grabbed a career-best 15 rebounds, Kyrie Irving added 14 points and the Cavaliers pushed their winning streak to five games Tuesday night with a 114-85 victory over the skidding Philadelphia 76ers.

Spiller is keeping his spirits high even though the Bills running backs short- and long-term future in Buffalo is up in the air.Speaking on Monday for the first time since breaking his collarbone two weeks earlier, Spiller said it was too early to determine whether he can be cleared to play before the end of the season.I dont want to put a percentage on it, Spiller said. Im just taking it one day at a time. If the doctors clear me and everythings well, obviously, I want to play.As for what happens once his contract expires after this season, the Bills 2010 first-round draft pick said hes not considered the possibility of having played his final game in Buffalo.Im not really worried about all that stuff, Spiller said. Thats going to take care of itself. My biggest thing is just getting back healthy.Spiller was hurt in a 17-16 win over Minnesota on Oct. 19, when he was tripped up from behind and landed heavily on his left shoulder following a 53-yard run.Spiller had surgery the following day and was placed on the reserve injured/designated to return list. That means hes eligible to begin practicing in four more weeks, and available to resume playing in Week 16, when Buffalo travels to play Oakland on Dec. 21.He called it one of those freak accidents, and is disappointed he cant contribute to the Bills bid to make a second-half playoff push.At 5-3, the Bills returned to practice following a five-day bye weekend off, and prepare to host Kansas City (5-3) on Sunday.Spillers rehab is currently limited to lower-body work to keep his legs fresh and cardio-therapy. He declined to provide a timetable as to when he can begin lifting weights.I havent really gotten down about the whole situation, he said. Ive just kept them blinders on.The 53-yard run was Spillers longest of the season and came in a game the Bills lost co-starting running back Fred Jackson to a groin injury. Jackson is expected to misss two more weeks.ddddddddddddThe injuries have forced the Bills to go with backups Anthony Dixon and Bryce Brown, who combined for 59 yards on 29 carries in a 43-23 win over the New York Jets on Oct. 26.The Bills running attack was struggling even when Spiller and Jackson were healthy.Buffalo is averaging just under 100 yards rushing per game. Thats a considerable drop off from last year when the Bills finished second in the NFL by averaging 144 yards rushing.One issue is an unsettled offensive line that featured two rookie starters before sixth-year player Kraig Urbik replaced rookie Cyril Richardson at left guard against the Jets. Another issue has been adapting to the change at quarterback since veteran journeyman Kyle Orton took over for EJ Manuel in Week 5.Orton is less mobile and more of a pocket passer, unlike Manuel who posed a threat to take off and run.By comparison, Orton has improved the Bills passing attack. In going 3-1 since taking over, Orton has gone a combined 95 of 141 for 1,128 yards passing with nine years passing and three interceptions. Hes also engineered two game-winning drives in the final minute.Last week, offensive co-ordinator Nathaniel Hackett said he remains committed to running the ball even if its getting stopped. He said the ground attack keeps defences honest, opens up the Bills play-action passing game and becomes integral with the cold weather settling in Buffalo.NOTES: DT Marcell Dareus was a late arrival for practice because of travel delays. ... Richardson and WR Mike Williams were excused from practice because of personal matters. Coach Doug Marrone said Williams should be back for practice Wednesday while Richardson could miss a few more days. ... WR Marquise Goodwin, who missed two games with a hamstring injury, and LB Ty Powell, who missed a game with an ankle injury, returned to practice.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
