Phil Dawson's 36-yard field goal in the final seconds lifted Cleveland over Chicago, 13-10, in the final preseason tilt for both clubs at Browns Stadium.

Colt McCoy took the majority of the snaps and finished 13-of-13 for 131 yards for the Browns, who open their 2010 season September 12 in Tampa. Brett Ratliff wound up 10-of-15 for 93 yards and an interception.

Joe Martinek carried 20 times for 109 yards and a touchdown and Tom Savage completed 10 of 19 passes for 148 yards and a score, leading Rutgers to a 31-0 rout of Norfolk State in their season openers Thursday night.

Martinek, a junior tailback, eclipsed 100 yards for the fifth time in his career. His 6-yard touchdown run in the third quarter enabled the Scarlet Knights to increase their 6-0 halftime lead after a sluggish first half.

Quarterback Stephen Garcia and freshman tailback Marcus Lattimore each ran for two touchdowns and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier won his 18th straight college opener 41-13 over Southern Miss on Thursday night.

Garcia got things started with a 22-yard touchdown run and Lattimore followed with first-half scores of 3 and 7 yards to send the Gamecocks to a surprisingly easy win against the Golden Eagles.

Chase Utley drove in six runs and hit a grand slam to cap a nine-run seventh inning Thursday night as the Philadelphia Phillies overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies 12-11.

Utley's six RBIs tied a career high and came after Ryan Howard and Jayson Werth also went deep during the big inning in which the Phillies collected nine hits and all but buried the Rockies' playoff hopes.

Mark Brunell's 51-yard touchdown throw to Santonio Holmes shortly into the fourth quarter put the Jets in front, and New York held on for a 21-17 victory over the Eagles in the team's final preseason game.

Holmes made four catches for 97 yards on a night when most starters for both teams did not play. Brunell started for New York and completed 11-of-17 passes for 118 yards and two touchdowns, while Kellen Clemens was 7-of-13 for 70 yards.

One perfect series and done for Sam Bradford.

No doubt, facing the Baltimore Ravens' second-string defense made it easier for the No. 1 pick.

Dennis Dixon completed his only pass of the night for a 23-yard touchdown to Emmanuel Sanders in the second quarter the Steelers beat Carolina, 19-3, in the preseason finale for both teams.

Dixon, who accounted for the game's only touchdown, could begin the season as the starting quarterback for the Steelers. With Ben Roethlisberger due to begin his suspension, the Steelers could have gone with Byron Leftwich as the starter. However, Leftwich hurt his left knee during the second quarter Thursday and was taken to a local hospital for an MRI.

Duane Bennett rushed for a career-high 187 yards and Jon Hoese scored three touchdowns just days after deciding to make the trip to lead Minnesota to a grinding season-opening 24-17 win over Middle Tennessee on Thursday night.

Bennett becomes the first 100-yard rusher for the Gophers since 2008 and dominated the Blue Raiders over Minnesota's two game-clinching drives. He rushed for 64 yards as the Gophers held the ball for 15:41 on their way to a field goal and Hoese's 1-yard dive with 3:09 left.
