CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Tom Brady couldnt get into the end zone against a defence thats developing a reputation for taking down the leagues top quarterbacks. Aaron Rodgers found out. And so did Brady, running on empty all game long. The Bengals ended Bradys streak of 52 consecutive games with a touchdown pass on Sunday, sacking him on his first pass attempt and keeping the pressure going. The defence even helped BenJarvus Green-Ellis get into the end zone for the games only touchdown in a 13-6 victory over the previously undefeated Patriots. It was so impressive that defensive co-ordinator Mike Zimmer was handed a rain-drenched game ball in the locker room. "Thats a great accomplishment," coach Marvin Lewis said. "I dont normally give out game balls, but I gave that one to Zimmer. They played well today. They were tight in coverage most of the day. Upfront, they got after it." Geno Atkins sacked Brady on his first pass attempt, and the Bengals (3-2) dropped him four times overall. And that wasnt all: New England (4-1) failed to get into the end zone after a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter. One yard too much for New England? Stunning. "Im bummed that we lost," Brady said of his broken streak. "I think thats all that really matters." A driving rain moved in just before New Englands final chance. After a couple of dropped passes, Brady threw one toward the goal line and Adam "Pacman" Jones made a juggling interception inside the Cincinnati 5-yard line. Some finish. "We knew we were going to have our hands full, but we were able to get to Brady on the second play," defensive tackle Domata Peko said. "After that, you could see he was a little shaky. If you hit somebody enough, theyre going to make mistakes." Brady had thrown a touchdown pass in 52 straight games, the second-longest streak in NFL history behind Drew Brees 54-game streak. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since a 16-9 loss to the Jets on Sept. 20, 2009. "All week long, all you guys were talking about was Tom Brady," safety Chris Crocker said. "We wanted them to be talking about us." They are now, with good reason. Two weeks earlier at Paul Brown Stadium, the Bengals defence stymied Rodgers in a 34-30 win over Green Bay, overcoming four turnovers by Cincinnatis offence that gave the Packers good field position. Brady never got into a rhythm against Cincinnatis unrelenting pass rush. He finished 18 of 38 for 197 yards with one interception and a paltry passer rating of 52.2. Cincinnatis defence even had a hand -- well, a shoulder -- in the winning touchdown. The Bengals had failed to score a touchdown during a 17-6 loss at Cleveland, one that left them looking to establish an identity on offence by running the ball. They did what they wanted in one grinding drive. Cincinnati went 93 yards in 14 plays for its touchdown, holding the ball for 7 minutes, 48 seconds. Peko came in as a blocking fullback on third-and-goal from inside the 1-yard line but took off too soon, a false start. Andy Dalton scrambled to the 1 on a keeper, and Peko came in and plowed the way for Green-Ellis to score on fourth down. Dalton was 20 of 27 for 212 yards with four sacks and one costly interception. He scrambled away from pressure and threw back across the field in the first quarter, getting intercepted by Brandon Spikes at the 8-yard line. It was the first time during his three-year career that Dalton threw an interception on a play that started inside the opponents 20-yard line. Given how the defence was playing, the one touchdown drive was good enough. "Its definitely fun to watch those guys go out and play," Dalton said. "Theyre doing so many good things, and to see what they do to a guy like Tom Brady and what theyve done to a lot of these quarterbacks -- theyre some of the best in the league. "Theyre playing unbelievable." Notes: Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski was inactive for the fifth time. Hes recovering from a forearm injury and back surgery. ...

Calgary finished atop the CFL standings with a 14-4 record and earned the right to host the West Division final at McMahon Stadium on Nov.TORONTO -- It took 36 games but Adam Lind finally found the fence. The Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter ended the longest home-run drought of his career with a two-run shot in the seventh inning Saturday afternoon to power Toronto to a 6-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. It was just the fifth homer of the season for Lind, who has hit more than 20 four times in his career. "Nice to join the party," Lind said with a wry smile. The happy-go-luck Jay with the ZZ Top-style beard has been contributing in other ways with his bat even if his long ball has been falling just short of late. He has registered a hit in 15 of his last 18 games with seven doubles and one triple. Lind is hitting .328 this season but hadnt homered since June 23. His previous longest run without a homer was 29 games in 2012-13. "It definitely lessens it a little bit," Lind said of his overall hitting success. "But ultimately home runs are where its at, not doubles and batting average." Toronto manager John Gibbons calls Lind a natural hitter. "Lindys got one of the nicest pure swings youre going to find in all of baseball," Gibbons said. "And against right-handers, theres not a better hitter out there." Edwin Encarnacion followed Lind with a blast of his own one pitch later as the Jays snapped a 3-3 tie. The power surge made a winner of knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who has won his last four decisions and six of his last eight. Dickey (13-12) gave up three runs on four hits in seven innings, striking out five and walking two. With the Rays swinging freely in the early going, Dickey varied his speed more than usual. His knuckleball ranged from the lows 60s to the low 80s. "I changed speeds today early in the count probably more than I have all year," he said. "I threw a lot of knuckleballs under 70 miles per hour early in the count. "I doubled up a few times, which I hardly ever do, with slow knuckleballs." It marked the 19th straight game that a Toronto starter had gone six innings or more, matching a 1998 run. The starters earned-run average over that stretch is 2.52. The Jays (77-70) have gone 12-7 over that run. "The rotation has been on some kind of roll. Theyve been great," said Gibbons. "We score, we win. "Thats the way it is with most teams I guess." Toronto lost the series opener 1-0 on Friday night, snapping a four-game win streak. The Jays have now won 10 of their last 13 outings, outscoring the opposition 70-30 over that span. "Theyve really held up their end of the bargain. All five of them," Gibbons said of his starters. "And one thing thats done too is its allowed our bullpen to kind of regroup a little bit and keep those guys fresh." Said Dickey: "I think a lot of people have doubted our rotation throughout the year. So for us as a group it feels good as a group to kind of hang our hat on being able to go deep in games consistently, which weve been able to do." The 39-year-old Dickey has now pitched 196 2/3 innings, approaching the 200 mark for the foourth straight year.dddddddddddd Casey Janssen pitched the ninth for his 23rd save as Toronto outhit Tampa 7-6. Linds drive over the centre-field fence also scored Jose Bautista, who was walked by reliever Brad Boxberger. Boxberger (5-2) gave way to Steve Geltz and Encarnacion drove his first pitch into the 200 level of left field for a 6-3 lead. Encarnacions 31st home run marked the eighth time this season the Jays have homered on back-to-back pitches. Encarnacion, who has hit five homers since coming off the disabled list Aug. 15, came into the game averaging a home run every 14 at-bats this season. Evan Longoria homered for Tampa Bay, his franchise-leading 183rd, before 31,268 spectators under the Rogers Centre roof. "The three balls that I hit well were probably the worst three knuckleballs hes ever thrown me," Longoria said of Dickey. "Sometimes thats just the way it works out." Tampa (71-78) is 4-4 in its last eight games, blowing leads of 4-0, 4-0, 3-0 and 2-0 in the losses. Tampas Jeremy Hellickson, making his 11th start since coming off the disabled list July 7 after elbow surgery in January, limited the Jays to three runs on four hits in six innings. He struck out eight and walked four Hellickson, the AL rookie of the year in 2011, has now faced Toronto in three of his last five starts. He lost 5-2 to Dickey and the Jays in Tampa on Sept. 2 but did not get the decision in the other two starts. Dickeys first inning lasted just seven pitches but the Jays were down 1-0 after six of them. Ben Zobrist led off with a double and scored on two straight infield ground balls. Tampa manufactured another run in the third after Kevin Kiermaier singled to right and advanced to second, having baited Bautista to throw to first. A groundout and wild pitch made it 2-0. Dickey escaped further damage when the Rays were unable to cash men on second and third after a two-out walk and Longoria double. Toronto went ahead 3-2 in the bottom of a messy third for the Rays. Ryan Goins got to first when a wild pitch saved him from a strikeout. He moved to second on an Anthony Gose single and scored on Hellicksons throwing error on a Jose Reyes sacrifice bunt. Gose then scored when Hellickson, a Gold Glove winner in 2012, couldnt handle a Bautista ball hit back to him. Linds fielders choice scored Reyes to put the Jays ahead. "That was an inning we cant let get away from us defensively and we did," said Tampa manager Joe Maddon. "Thats what got them back in the ball game." Toronto failed to take advantage in the fifth after loading the bases with two outs. Longoria tied it 3-3, leading off the sixth with his 21st homer of the season. The Rays benefited from slick fielding plays from Longoria at third base in both the first and second innings. Reyes matched him in the fourth, jumping high to stab a Yunel Escobar liner. Escobar pulled off a carbon-copy catch on Josh Thole in the bottom of the inning. Rays outfielder Matt Joyce was thrown out in the ninth for arguing balls and strikes.
