WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The good news for Purdue is that the Boilermakers are just three wins from becoming eligible for a bowl game.The bad news is how beat up Purdue is following its 34-31 overtime victory at Illinois over the weekend.Purdue likely lost leading receiver Dominique Young (29 receptions for 338 yards and a touchdown) for the season with a right knee injury suffered during the second half at Illinois. Coach Darrell Hazell said Monday he was waiting for an MRI result before confirming Youngs status.Purdue hopes to have leading rusher Markell Jones (shoulder) and standout middle linebacker JaWhaun Bentley (ankle) back in action this weekend against Iowa (4-2, 2-1 Big Ten) after each missed the Illinois game. Jones has rushed for 339 yards in four games and Bentley has 27 tackles.Running back Brian Lankford-Johnson started in Jones place and carried 18 times for 127 yards and a touchdown but left the game in the second half with a sprained shoulder and was replaced by Richie Worship. Hazell said he was confident Lankford-Johnson will be ready to play against Iowa.Defensive backs Myles Norwood and Tim Cason also missed some playing time at Illinois because of an assortment of bumps and bruises, but Hazell also hopes to have one or both back against the Hawkeyes.Its still early in the week, he said. Its a day by day thing, but they were in good spirits (Sunday).If either Norwood or Cason is unable to play, freshman cornerback Josh Hayes will get more action.For now, the Boilermakers (3-2, 1-1) are trying to enjoy the win. Quarterback David Blough said after suffering a 50-7 loss on Oct. 1 at Maryland, the comeback victory at Illinois is tremendously significant.There was nothing like getting a shot at redemption after (the loss at Maryland), said Blough, who ran for a touchdown and passed for another. Illinois was probably the most fun game Ive played at Purdue.The Boilermakers are now 3-23 in Big Ten games during Hazells four seasons at Purdue.Game notes Freshman kicker J.D. Dellinger has been selected Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week after his field goal in overtime won the game at Illinois ... In keeping with the Boilermaker train theme at Purdue, Hazell said Monday that Purdues version of the Wildcat formation is known as Amtrak, and another gimmick formation with offensive linemen aligned outside the norm is called The Polar Express. Purdue used both formations at Illinois.Vin Baker Bucks Jersey . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring.

He cant quite believe it took until age 39 and his 17th NFL season to finally get a shot on San Franciscos home field.I had everything arranged and set up before the season for my family and friends, and then I got hurt, Brady said. So it is (shocking), it is. It will be a lot of fun. Ive got a lot of people coming to the game and it will just be a great environment.This could perhaps be the only time Brady gets the opportunity, and he should feel pretty confident about his chances of winning with the AFC East-leading Patriots (7-2). The New England quarterback might have to change teams to visit Levis Stadium again after Sundays matchup with the Niners (1-8), losers of eight straight since a season-opening win against the Rams.He was there when Clark leaped high and pulled down the Montana touchdown pass that helped send San Francisco to its first Super Bowl after the 1981 season.I was, I think 4 years old and my parents brought me. I cried -- I wanted one of those foam fingers and I cried the entire first half, Brady recalled. Finally, my dad bought me one to shut me up for the second half. I think I have a picture of it.It was just a great. I remember we were on the opposite side of the stadium, and I started crying when everyone jumped up and screamed at the end when Dwight made the catch. I still have those memories.San Francisco went to New England in 2004 and again in 2012 to win 41-34 during the 49ers Super Bowl season.It was a great feeling to go up there, get that victory, especially against a team like that, quarterback Colin Kaepernick said. It was huge and it was another confidence builder for our team.Here are some things to watch for Sunday:BETHEAS FIRST PICK: San Francisco safety Antoine Betheas first career interception is still plenty fresh 10 years later. He has the ball at home in a case.It came with the Colts against Brady, in Foxborough, on Nov. 5, 2006, the first of three career picks he has of Brady passes.Its definitely something I remember, out there in Foxborough, BBethea said.dddddddddddd Of course Im always going to remember that, especially because it comes on a top-caliber quarterback.HOT TICKET: Brady, who grew up in nearby San Mateo, has arranged countless tickets for Sunday -- more than ever.I may never get the opportunity again, so its nice to have all the support, and Ive had a lot from the Bay Area over the years, Brady said. My high school, my elementary school, and I still have so many friends from growing up, and coaches, my family, my aunts and uncles, cousins. It will just be a lot of fun to be out there.KAEPERNICK IMPROVES: After failing to complete even half of his passes in each of his first two starts, Kaepernick has been much sharper the past two weeks after the bye.Healthy again after three surgeries, and promoted in favor of Blaine Gabbert last month, he is completing 59 percent of his passes for 304 yards, three touchdowns, one interception and a 96.8 passer rating.ROOKIE WOES: Patriots rookie defensive back Cyrus Jones returned last week against Seattle after being a healthy scratch for three straight games following his ejection during New Englands win at Cleveland on Oct. 9. During an up-and-down first year, he also has struggled to find consistency as a kick returner.Jones performance will determine how much he is on the field.It doesnt necessarily stay the same, Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. It hopefully gets better, but we just have to evaluate those performing opportunities.LEWIS RETURNS?: Pats running back Dion Lewis was taken off injured reserve last week, but was inactive against Seattle. He has made progress since returning to practice, but the Patriots are unlikely to rush him.New England is getting great production out of LeGarrette Blount, who leads the league with 12 touchdowns rushing. James White has also been a solid pass catching option out of the backfield, hauling 33 receptions for 290 yards and three touchdowns.I think any time a player is coming back from missing a significant amount of time, theres a certain buildup process, Belichick said of Lewis. Its hard to predict how thats going to go.---AP Sports Writer Kyle Hightower in Boston contributed to this report.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
