RALEIGH, N. .C. -- The president of Major League Soccer says hes "a firm believer" there are markets in the Southeast that would support a team from his league. Mark Abbott spoke Thursday to a fan forum of about 100 during his visit to the Raleigh area. Abbott says MLS wants to add a second team in the New York metropolitan area to join the Red Bulls and give the league 20 teams. He says the league has no timetable for expansion beyond that. He identified three key factors that MLS evaluates in potential expansion targets. Among them: an ownership group financially capable of operating the team, a stadium seating between 20,000 and 25,000, and a market that can draw roughly that many fans and generate corporate support.

Louis Blues lost in the first round of the playoffs, but theyre not that far away from where they need to be. . The matchup between the top two rushers in the NFL didnt disappoint. The difference was Seattles rookie QB. Lynch ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, Wilson threw three first-half touchdown passes, and the Seahawks overcame 182 yards by Peterson in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday that could hold greater importance later in the season.CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Eighty yards to cover, little more than two minutes left, no timeouts to help. Rookie quarterback T.J. Yates faced his biggest challenge as he lined up for the snap. With savvy and a scramble, he pulled it off. Yates led the biggest drive in Texans history on Sunday, one that put them in the end zone and the playoffs. He threw a six-yard touchdown pass with two seconds left for a 20-19 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals that sent the expansion team into the playoffs for the first time. "Its pretty crazy," Yates said. "A lot of people in this organization have waited a long time for this. This is a special day for this team and this organization." In the span of a few wild minutes, everything broke their way. With their seventh straight win, the Texans (10-3) moved to the threshold of the playoffs. They hugged on the field then headed to the locker room, where they huddled around a television set and watched the final minutes of Tennessees game play out. They needed a Titans loss to clinch the AFC South. When time ran out on the Titans, preserving New Orleans 22-17 victory, the Texans screamed, hugged, and donned black championship caps and white T-shirts. Injured receiver Andre Johnson, who didnt play because of a strained hamstring, got a game ball for his part in turning the team into a winner. "Words really cant describe it," Johnson said. "Its something Ive been waiting for for a long time." Since their inaugural season in 2002, the Texans have been little more than a tease. Theyd come close to reaching the playoffs, only to fade and fumble in the big games. They couldnt quite get that breakthrough win. An unlikely rookie took them the last step. Yates, a fifth-round draft pick, got his chance when Matt Schaub and Matt Leinart suffered season-ending injuries in consecutive weeks. Making only his second start, Yates led the Texans on their biggest comeback of the season. With everything on the line for both teams, the Bengals (7-6) couldnt stop him. "A rookie quarterback beat us today," safety Chris Crocker said. "He did it with both his arm and his feet. I dont even know what to say. Wow." Wow, indeed. Yates scrambled 17 yards on third-and-15 to keep the drive going. A pass interference penalty on Adam "Pacman" Jones put the ball at the 6-yard line with 12 seconds left. Afterr an incompletion, Walter lined up wide right, cut to the middle of the field and was uncovered at the goal line.

The kid had come through when it mattered most. "Hey, were champs!" receiver Jacoby Jones said. "All my years Ive been playing, Ive never been on a team that got over the hump." Only 41,202 fans -- the second-smallest crowd in Paul Brown Stadium history -- showed up to watch the Bengals turn themselves into a long shot for the playoffs. Theyd lost three of their last four, including a 35-7 drubbing in Pittsburgh last week that essentially eliminated them from the AFC North race. Now, theyre going to need help getting the final wild card berth. "As far as the team goes, they are very disappointed and Im going to have to pump some air in them," coach Marvin Lewis said. "Before this game, we controlled our own destiny, and now I cant tell you what is going to happen." The Texans have kept winning while losing quarterbacks. They took the final step into the playoffs without Johnson, who was inactive Sunday because of a strained left hamstring. Yates and a solid defence pulled them through. Yates went 26 of 44 for 300 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and five sacks. Houstons defence was the stingiest in the AFC, and came through after the Texans fell behind 16-3 at halftime. Andy Dalton was sacked and fumbled, setting up Yates 6-yard touchdown pass that got the Texans some momentum early in the third quarter. "It did not look like we had any chance of getting out of here with a win," coach Gary Kubiak said. "But we have a young quarterback who believes in what hes doing." Notes: The Bengals managed 81 yards in the second half. Cedric Benson carried eight times and lost a yard overall in the half. ... Houston had one sack, leaving it one shy of the club record of 37 in 2005. ... Cincinnatis Mike Nugent kicked field goals of 22, 47, 49 and 28 yards. ... RG Bobbie Williams hurt his right ankle in the second quarter and didnt return. ... The crowd was smaller than one of the University of Cincinnatis two games at Paul Brown Stadium this season. The Bearcats drew 48,152 fans for a game against West Virginia on Nov. 12. Their game against Louisville on Oct. 15 drew 40,971. ' ' '
