SPORTLIGHT
Dec. 19
2004–The Kansas City Chiefs are the first team in NFL history to have three backs rush for more than 150 yards in a game in one season. Larry Johnson had 151 in a 45-17 win against Denver, matching the amount Priest Holmes had against the Broncos earlier in the season. Derrick Blaylock rushed for 186 against New Orleans.
2005–Toronto goalie Ed Belfour moves into sole possession of second place on the NHL's career wins list in a 9-6 victory over the New York Islanders. Belfour, who had lost five straight starts since moving into a second-place tie with Terry Sawchuk, wins his 448th game despite allowing six goals on 33 shots.
