Caleb Sturgis missed a 34-yard field goal badly late in the opening quarter, and the Miami Dolphins were hearing boos from their home fans during a scoreless first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake gave his team the ball at the Cincinnati 25 after stripping it away from Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton late in the quarter. On fourth-and-1, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin sent in the field-goal unit, to the dismay of some in the crowd. Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was 2 for 4, collecting only 9 yards.

Gary Nova is going to remain the quarterback for Rutgers. Coach Kyle Flood announced late Thursday that Nova will start Saturday against Temple despite poor performances in consecutive losses. Nova completed 7 of 15 attempts for 138 yards and threw three interceptions in a 49-14 loss to Houston last Saturday before being relieved by Chas Dodd in the third quarter. Nova got the nod but will be on a short leash after throwing seven interceptions in the last two games.

Romo backs Bryant, just like audio from rant (Yahoo Sports)

With audio now available to back up Dez Bryant's claim that he was saying only positive things at Tony Romo in a sideline rant last weekend, the Dallas quarterback was ready to offer a passionate defense of his top receiver. Romo took care of it without the arm-waving that landed the emotional Bryant in the headlines again. Sure,'' Romo said Thursday in the Cowboys' locker room. That's because he knew the cameras would catch what was happening right in front of him - Bryant waving his arms wildly, walking away from the quarterback, turning around abruptly to yell a few more things while coach Jason Garrett made an effort to steer him in another direction.

Giving the power conferences more autonomy in a restructured NCAA could help address the ''existential threats'' that plague college sports at their highest level, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. The five conferences - the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and ACC - don't want to leave the NCAA or even form their own division, Delany said Thursday. ''We're not talking about pay for play,'' Delany said, speaking at the Big Ten's basketball media day. ''We have to be able to do what we need to do in order to address those issues, and we need the authority to do it.'' The NCAA has been battered by a series of scandals over the last year, most centering around money.

Shanahan on Haynesworth: 'lazy, lack of passion' (Yahoo Sports)

Mike Shanahan leveled a scathing critique at Albert Haynesworth on Thursday, saying the former Redskins defensive lineman was ''lazy'' and had a ''lack of passion'' and ''lack of character.'' The Washington Redskins coach was responding to comments made this week by Haynesworth, who told Tennessee Sports Radio that Shanahan is ''conniving,'' self-centered and will run quarterback Robert Griffin III ''into the ground.'' Asked for his reaction, Shanahan began his answer and then stopped himself and started over - because he wanted to ''say it the right way.'' Then he hammered home a zinger. Haynesworth became an NFL punch line when he needed 10 days to pass a conditioning test at the start of training camp and lost his starting job.

Nick Foles has the Eagles' starting quarterback job back. Foles will start against the Raiders (3-4) Sunday in Oakland, two weeks after he suffered a concussion after completing just 11 of 29 passes for 80 yards in a lifeless 17-3 loss to the Cowboys. The Eagles (3-5), after all, have tried three quarterbacks and coach Chip Kelly is not afraid to shake things up. Michael Vick could come back as the starter, when healthy.

Brian Wright was unexpectedly thrust into coaching in 1994, when a leg injury ended his playing career. One day after Carl Pelini sent Florida Atlantic's program into a tailspin by acknowledging to school officials that he used an illegal drug and tendering his resignation, Wright ran the reeling Owls through practice for the first time since agreeing to be the interim head coach. His voice cracked a couple of times, he vowed to do right by the Owls' senior class, and he adamantly insisted that he had no knowledge of Pelini or now-former defensive coordinator Pete Rekstis - who also resigned as part of the scandal - doing any drugs. It's to get Florida Atlantic football and write a positive story at the end of the season.'' At 2-6, the Owls hardly seem like a bowl-bound team.

Former NFL player Abdullah rails against NFL (Yahoo Sports)

Former Cardinals defensive back Hamza Abdullah took to Twitter on Thursday to blast the NFL and Commissioner Roger Goodell for not doing enough to ensure players' well-being. In dozens of profanity-laced tweets, Abdullah said on his verified account that the NFL treats players like slaves, that Goodell would sell his ''soul for a dollar,'' and that the league should play for psychiatric evaluations for its players. Abdullah also implied that he had suicidal thoughts, tweeting that ''Every time I go to sleep, I pray that Allah takes care of my family, just in case I don't wake up.'' In the next tweet, he adds, ''And quietly, I'm disappointed sometimes when I do wake up.'' Abdullah's brother, Husain Abdullah, is a defensive back for the Kansas City Chiefs. Husain Abdullah said during training camp the brothers wanted to make sure they did the pilgrimage while they had the health and means to do so.

Redskins' Davis says he's 'nodded off' in meetings (Yahoo Sports)

Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis said Wednesday he's ''nodded off'' during meetings, but he said it's something every player does. He also said he wishes the Redskins had traded him this week if he's not going to be a part of the team's plans for the rest of the season. The 2008 second-round draft pick has talent, but his career has been hindered by injuries and a four-game suspension in 2011 for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. He re-signed with the Redskins for a one-year deal, hoping to parlay a big season into a hefty multiyear contract in free agency next year.

Oneida Nation requests meeting with all NFL owners (Yahoo Sports)

Representatives of the Oneida Indian Nation have requested a meeting with all 32 NFL owners during Super Bowl week, hoping to persuade them to get the Washington franchise to drop the nickname Redskins. Ray Halbritter, an Oneida representative and leader of the ''Change the Mascot Campaign,'' said Wednesday that his group asked in a meeting with NFL executives that Commissioner Roger Goodell and Redskins owner Daniel Snyder ''visit our homelands.'' The Oneidas also asked for an amendment to league bylaws to prohibit franchises from naming a team with any term that is a racial epithet. Halbritter says the dictionary defines the word 'redskins' precisely like that.

''We hold ourselves to a standard here,'' Chun said.

Lewis continued playing despite being hurt on the first play from scrimmage in a 35-17 loss at New Orleans on Sunday.

Josh Gordon emerged from the other side of the trading deadline exactly where he wanted. After all the talk, all the rumors, all the ''noise,'' Cleveland is still his NFL home. And now that he's staying with the Browns, Gordon is determined to become an elite wide receiver. ''That's what I'm striving for, to be one of the best.'' Those words were surely soothing to the Browns' front office, which listened to trade offers for the talented 22-year-old with a troubling track record up until Tuesday's deadline.
