An elusive rookie made all the difference by darting through the Steelers' defense.
The Dallas Cowboys followed a big win over the New York Giants in the opener with a worrisome loss on the road - just like last year.
Five Southeastern Conference players received improper benefits during their college careers, including former Alabama offensive tackle D.J. Fluker, according to a Yahoo Sports report released Wednesday.
Yahoo cited text messages and financial records of former Alabama defensive end Luther Davis and an unnamed NFL source who said Davis was a go-between for the players with NFL agents and financial advisers.
The players named in the report were Fluker, who started on two national championship teams, Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray and defensive end Maurice Couch, and Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox and wide receiver Chad Bumphis.
All three schools issued statements Wednesday saying they are investigating the allegations.
