Vick becomes first QB to top 1,000 yards rushing
Football Betting Lines
12/24/2006 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick needed only 10 yards rushing in Sunday's game against Carolina to become the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in a single season. He got all of it and more on his first carry, an 18-yard jaunt three minutes into the game that put him where no quarterback has ever been before.
Vick took the snap in the shotgun at the Carolina 42-yard line and broke left, running 18 yards before being pushed out of bounds, giving him 1,008 on the season. The Falcons quarterback passed the previous rushing record for a quarterback, Bobby Douglass' 968 yards in 1972 for the Bears, in last week's 38-28 loss to the Cowboys.
Atlanta is the first team in NFL history to have a quarterback-running back tandem who both topped 1,000 yards on the ground, as Warrick Dunn entered Sunday's game with 1,053 yards on the ground.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
