Bengals edge Colts 30-28 in preseason finale
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Cedric Peerman had a 93 yard touchdown run in the third quarter and the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Indianapolis Colts 30-28 on Thursday night in the preseason finale for both teams. Peerman finished with 100 yards rushing, and Jordan Palmer completed 10 of 14 passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns for the Bengals (3-2). Starting quarterback Carson Palmer played for one possession which netted a field goal. Colts quarterback Peyton Manning didn't play, and most of Indy's starters took the night off.

Browns lose rookie RB in 13-10 win over Bears
CLEVELAND (AP) - Montario Hardesty can't seem to outrun his knee problems. Cleveland's highly touted rookie running back, whose career at Tennessee was slowed by knee injuries, hurt his left one in the second quarter of Thursday night's 13-10 win over the Chicago Bears, a potentially major blow to the Browns' running game. Fellow rookie Colt McCoy got his first pro start and went a perfect 13 of 13 for 131 yards in two-plus quarters. The former Texas star fumbled his first snap, but finally showed some potential in easily his best performance of an otherwise rough preseason. Quarterback Todd Collins, recently signed by Chicago to back up Jay Cutler, completed 10 of 15 for 139 yards and a 15-yard TD pass to tight end Greg Olsen for the Bears.

Iowa gives Ferentz extension through 2020
IOWA CITY, IA. (AP) - Iowa says it is extending coach Kirk Ferentz's contract through 2020. Ferentz's current deal runs through 2015 and pays him roughly $3 million per season. Ferentz's new deal will total nearly $3.7 million a year. School officials expect the deal to be signed Friday. The announcement Thursday comes just two days before Iowa kicks off its most anticipated season in years. The ninth-ranked Hawkeyes, coming off an 11-2 season and a win in the Orange Bowl, host Eastern Illinois on Saturday. Ferentz is in his 12th season as the head coach at Iowa. Last season, he was named the Big Ten's Coach of the Year for the third time.
