25 - Consecutive road losses for the Detroit Lions before they ran off five straight wins in their last five away games, culminating in a 34-30 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Lions have been adept at playing from behind, coming back in all three of their road contests this season. No deficit was larger than Sunday's: The Lions trailed 27-3 in the third quarter and looked to be done. But, led by Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson, the team went on a 31-3 run, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with less than two minutes to go.
0.72 - Yards per carry for Tufts in its 28-9 loss to the Bates Bobcats on Saturday. This put added pressure on senior quarterback Johnny Lindquist, who tossed four interceptions with zero touchdowns. It also led to a series of short fields for the Bates' offense, which capitalized and put points on the board multiple times. The loss was just the team's second to the Bobcats since 1986. Tufts will look to get its first win of the season when Bowdoin comes to Zimman Field on Saturday.
5 - Return touchdowns in Sunday night's matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets. After Ed Reed forced a fumble that was taken into the end zone by Jameel McClain on the Jets' first offensive play, Joe McKnight took the ensuing kickoff 107 yards to the house. Each team added an interception return for a touchdown, while Baltimore forced one more fumble that was returned all the way en route to a 34-17 victory.
2005 - The last time the men's and women's soccer teams both defeated Trinity on the same day before doing so once again on Sunday. The women's side controlled their game from start to finish and walked away with a 2-0 victory, while the men's team won in exciting fashion with a golden goal. Interestingly enough, the men also won in overtime back in 2005. Thanks to the pair of victories, the women now sit third in the conference, while the men moved up to sixth.
1 - Starts by Matt Moore in the Major Leagues before taking the mound Friday in Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series against the Texas Rangers. Despite his inexperience, Moore dominated the Rangers' potent offense for seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits. He easily out-dueled Texas ace C.J. Wilson, earning the win in a 9-0 Rays victory. After yesterday's game, the Rangers now lead the series 2-1.
3 - Number of penalty stroke goals scored by the Dyer twins this weekend, including one game-winner from each twin on Sunday. Tufts senior co-captain Taylor Dyer scored against Trinity on Sunday in overtime to clinch a 3-2 Tufts win, while Taylor's sister, Tatum, who goes to American University, fired one past Temple for an Eagles victory the same day. Taylor's first goal of the weekend came Saturday against Amherst.
