Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

-- Steelers 18, Bengals 16-- First time I watched an NFL game and worried for the officials' safety; Bengals acted worse than the inmates in Longest Yard.

-- Bengals' last playoff win is in 1990; they had the ball and the lead with less than 1:40 to go, but fumbled. Just a horrific way to lose.

-- When the NFL Draft rolls around in April, teams will talk about drafting guys with character; when you have too many guys with low character, you get stuff like tonight, losing a game because you have no poise.

-- Big toll for Pittsburgh; Roethlisberger hurt his shoulder, Antonio Brown got a concussion on the fateful personal foul before the GW field goal.

-- Next week in the AFC: Steelers-Broncos, Chiefs-Patriots

-- Chiefs 30, Texans 0-- KC ran opening kick back for TD; highlight of game for Houston was the trajectory of that kick before Knile Davis caught it.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.......

13) USC 103, Arizona 101 4 OTs-- Andy Enfield is turning around USC's fortunes; they're 14-3, 3-1 in Pac-12, winning this wild game, as Arizona goes 0-2 on its swing to Tinseltown. Nine players played 40:00+ in this marathon.

12) Pitt 86, Notre Dame 82-- January 9-- it was Pitt's first true road game all season. Teams from big conferences are playing fewer non-conference road games, making it harder to gauge what they'll do when they get to conference play.

11) North Carolina 84, Syracuse 73-- ESPN treated Jim Boeheim like he was coming back from two tours of duty in Middle East, as opposed to a suspension for coaching a program that skirts the NCAA's rules. It pays to be friends with Coach K.

10) Biggest upsets: LaSalle/Southern Miss both won as 12-point home dogs. LaSalle only used six guys the whole game- the one sub played 15:00.

9) Georgia Tech 68, Virginia 64-- Big win for Brian Gregory; they talked a lot on the Wisconsin game yesterday that Tony Bennett could probably have the Badgers job if he wants it, but is Wisconsin a better job than Virginia?

8) South Carolina 69, Vanderbilt 65-- Gamecocks are a very quiet 15-0; guess they will have to beat Kentucky before anyone believes in them.

7) Washington 99, Washington State 95 OT-- Huskies are atop Pac-12 at 3-0; USC is 3-1, Arizona is 1-2, UCLA 2-2. No easy outs in this league

6) Wichita State 83, Southern Illinois 58-- Salukis are much-improved, but their first taste of the big-game atmosphere didn't go well against the veteran Shockers.

5) Wm & Mary 78, Northeastern 60-- Tribe avenges loss to Northeastern in finals of CAA tourney last March. CAA is a wide-open league once again.

4) Omaha 79, South Dakota 73-- Mavericks were down 52-31 with 15:12 left but won despite playing zero possessions of man/man defense during the comeback. They have solid, veteran guards who are ballhawks. Omaha attacks basket well, gets to foul line a lot- this was an exceptional road win.

3) Wyoming 59, UNLV 57-- Dave Rice is a terrific guy, but this UNLV team is now officially a train wreck and change is on its way, just a matter of when. You watch the game and you get the feeling the coaches have no idea who they really trust to put on the floor in the last 3:00 of a close game. And it shows.

2) 13 hours of watching college basketball is a fine way to spend a winter day.

1) Could somebody please buy Mike Tomlin a jacket? Guy is standing outside in a freakin' typhoon and doesn't know enough to put a coat on.
