(STATS) -- North Carolina A&T has had its fair share of memorable victories since Rod Broadway took over as coach in 2011. After another program-defining win last week, the Aggies will face back-to-back FBS opponents for the first time in school history when they visit Tulsa on Saturday.North Carolina A&T improved to 2-0 last weekend with the programs first-ever win over an FBS team, a wild 39-36 upset of Kent State in four overtimes. The victory enabled the Aggies, who had dropped all three previous meetings with FBS teams by an average of 39.7 points, to jump five spots in the STATS FCS Top 25 to No. 18.This is big for the program, the athletics department and the school as a whole, Broadway said. To do it in four overtimes is really something because I thought they would eventually wear us down because of their scholarship advantage.North Carolina A&T displayed its own depth as third-string quarterback Oluwafemi Bamiro led the way. Broadway replaced starter Lamar Raynard after he threw two first-half interceptions, and Bamiro was forced into action after backup Kylil Carter left the game late in regulation with an injury.Bamiro, a fifth-year senior, ran for a touchdown in the second overtime and threw for a score in the third OT. After Kent State kicked a field goal on the opening possession of the fourth overtime, Bamiro ended the game with a 15-yard TD pass to Denzel Keyes.We got down to our third guy and he stepped up for us, Broadway said. You know what, we are surrounded by some pretty good players. Femi made enough good plays for us to win. Were going to take it and move on.Broadway is 40-19 since taking over the Aggies, who went 1-10 in 2010 -- the season before he was hired. He led North Carolina A&T to a share of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship in 2014, the schools first title in 11 years, and the Aggies again won the MEAC last season to give them back-to-back conference titles for the first time since 1991 and 92.Broadway also led North Carolina A&T to a 24-21 road win over three-time FCS national champion Appalachian State in 2013 and a 41-34 victory over Alcorn State in the inaugural Celebration Bowl last year.Weve got a great opponent in North Carolina A&T thats coming in here that were actually 10-2 last year and won the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl, Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery said. Coach Broadways done a great job with his program, and he has won a ton of games no matter where hes been. So, weve got our hands full this week.Tulsa opened its season with a 45-10 win over San Jose State before being routed 48-3 last Saturday at Ohio State, which came in as the No. 4 team in the FBS.The Golden Hurricane allowed the Buckeyes to rush for 268 yards, and theyll now try to contain North Carolina A&T star running back Tarik Cohen. The two-time MEAC offensive player of the year and All-American ran for 133 yards and a score and added nine catches for 125 yards against Kent State.Cohen is the active FCS leader with 4,208 rushing yards and ranks fourth with 41 TDs on the ground.Randy Moss Jersey . "Trying to breathe," he said with a grin. Bernier stopped 42 of 43 shots on Monday night, including all 22 in a hectic middle frame, his heroic performance propelling the Leafs toward an undue point in their final game before the Christmas break.

Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday.Cincinnati Bengals topped the AFC North only to be pipped in the play-offs but divisional rivals Pittsburgh Steelers. Heres our ratings for the division.Cincinnati Bengals, 12-4 Geno Atkins showed hes one of the stars of the Cincinatti Bengals side It was more of the same from the Bengals which, for the vast majority of the 2015 season, was extremely impressive. But they couldnt lift their postseason curse - they havent won a single play-off game in 25 years - and unfortunately that unwanted record will define their year.They lost to Pittsburgh in the Wild Card round to bring the curtain down on their campaign, a pill that was even harder to swallow given the Bengals had won a regular season game against the Steelers. That victory had taken them to 7-0, a franchise-best start to a season, as they romped clear at the top of the AFC North. Their appearance in the play-offs was expected and was a franchise-best fifth in a row. But they wilted in the Wild Card round against Pittsburgh, failing to make their lead count and eventually going down 18-16 after a fumble from Jeremy Hill. Highlights as the Steelers beat the Bengals in the play-offs Star player: Like the Patriots Rob Gronkowski before him, Cincys Tyler Eifert has emerged as a modern era tight end who is redefining the position and becoming a frequent touchdown threat. He scored 11 in 2015.Grade: C. It was all looking so good for the Bengals who were on course for at least a B after storming to the top of the AFC North. But thats no good if you dont do the serious work.Pittsburgh Steelers, 10-6 Ben Roethlisberger reveals the severity of his MCL injury Ultimately their season was ended in the play-offs by the Denver Broncos, who went on to win Super Bowl, so theres no shame in that. Who knows if they would have gone further had star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered less through injury?Roethlisbergers frequent fitness concerns were an underlying limitation on the Steelers season - on paper, there are few better combinations than Big Ben throwing to Antonio Brown. In the end, far too much responsibility was placed on Brown. Highlights of a fully fit Ben Roethlisberger The Steelers, having sneaked into second-place in the AFC North, deserve great credit for battling through the Wild Card round with Roethlisberger and Brown both off the field due to injury. They beat the Bengals in a comeback partly attributed to two generously late foul penalties. At the next hurdle, they fell foul of the Broncos mean defence who prevented the Steelers from scoring any touchdowns.Star player: A total of 1,834 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns earmarks Antonio Brown as the Steelers top player, especially considering the emphasis that opposing defences placed on him.Grade: C+. Having gamely battled so far with a creaking Roethlisberger, the Steelers warrant a C+ but its a must do better in terms of keeping their top players fit and firing.Baltimore RRavens, 5-11 Steve Smith missed the majority of this season after an Achilles injury - watch here An immensely frustrating season has thankfully ended for Baltimore who were widely predicted last summer to challenge for a Super Bowl berth.ddddddddddddIt must be said, in their defence, that astonishing fitness issues that resulted in 22 names on their injured reserve list played a pivotal role in their underwhelming year.It was the first time in eight years under head coach Jim Harbaugh that the Ravens endured a losing season. Season-ending injuries to top players Joe Flacco and Justin Forsett were just two of the problems that affected Harbaughs side. Terrell Suggs played just a few minutes on the opening day before he was ruled out for the whole season and the Ravens duly slipped to 1-6 in seven games.Their season ended in Week 14 with defeat to Seattle when, to sum up their luck, the Ravens were forced to use third-choice quarterback Jimmy Clausen. A long offseason of rest and rehab is exactly what the doctor will have ordered. A particularly low moment for Baltimore which proved you should always play to the referees whistle Star player: This should be Flacco, Suggs or Forsett in an ideal season but at least Marshal Yanda, their offensive lineman, stayed healthy for the duration. He has been tied down to a long-term deal which reflects his importance.Grade: C-. It seems harsh but you cant give the Ravens anything above a C-. The head-scratcher is whether their medical department is doing enough for the players or whether this season should be filed as an anomaly.Cleveland Browns, 3-13 Watch this amazing finish to the game between Baltimore and Cleveland Where to begin? The personal problems around Johnny Manziel notwithstanding, 2015 was a nightmare year for the Browns which is best forgotten.Their record tied with Tennessee for the worst in the entire NFL and cost head coach Mike Pettine and general manager Ray Farmer their jobs in January. Having already finished bottom of the AFC North for four consecutive seasons, expectations were not high but putting in such a dire campaign was unforgivable.Manziel, who had manageable problems on the field before his personal issues began to outweigh them tenfold, did nothing to help his team but as a 23-year-old quarterback he was never expected to be the lynchpin. New coaching will be in place for next season - the Browns can hardly do any worse. Johnny Manziels first touchdown pass of the season Star player: This was a tough one to hand out but offensive lineman Joe Thomas has done nothing wrong all year, reaching a ninth consecutive Pro Bowl.Grade: F. It can only be an F, and wed be disappointed if Cleveland even queried that.Also See:AFC North: In FocusAFC South: In FocusAFC West: In FocusAFC East: In Focus ' ' '
