MIAMI (AP) – Tim Tebow rallied the Denver Broncos for
two touchdowns in the final 2:44 of the fourth quarter to force
overtime, and Matt Prater’s 52-yard field goal gave them a
come-from-behind 18-15 victory Sunday over the stunned Miami
Dolphins. The Broncos appeared beaten when they trailed 15-0 with 5:23
left and took over at their 20. At that point Tebow was 4 for 14
for 40 yards. But he threw two TD passes sandwiched around a successful onside
kick, and scored a 2-point conversion standing up with 17 seconds
left to tie the game. In overtime, Denver’s D.J. Williams sacked Matt Moore to force a fumble and recovered it at the Miami 36. Three plays later Prater hit the game-winner.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Left-hander Derek Holland dominated the
Cardinals lineup last night, throwing eight and a-third innings of

in Game 4 of the World Series. The best-of-seven Fall Classic is
knotted at two games apiece headed into tonight’s game in Texas.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) – The Saints matched the highest point-total

Conference football.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) – Luke Donald scored an improbable
victory at the PGA Tour’s season ender in Florida, and captured the

the leaderboard with six birdies over his last nine holes and
finished two strokes better than runner-up Justin Leonard.
