Tanuvasa adds to
his sack list

By Pat Bigold

Denver Broncos defensive end Maa Tanuvasa added another Drew Bledsoe sack to his belt last night in his team's 27-21 victory over the New England Patriots at Mile High Stadium.

It came in the third quarter on 2nd-and-9 at the New England 30. Tanuvasa blew in to drop the Pro Bowl quarterback for a nine-yard loss.

Tanuvasa has five career sacks against Bledsoe.

Former University of Hawaii kicker Jason Elam booted field goals of 42 and 53 yards for Denver.

Among Hawaii's other roster players in the NFL:

Running back Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala (St. Louis) didn't have a carry in a 20-13 victory against the Baltimore Ravens but caught a pass from Kordell Stewart and turned it into a 17-yard gain and a first down.

Arizona Cardinals running back Adrian Murrell (Leilehua) had only 35 yards on 13 carries in a 38-10 loss to Dallas.

San Diego Chargers' linebacker Kurt Gouveia (Waianae) had one tackle in a 16-14 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Itula Mili (Kahuku) saw time in a 38-0 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles but didn't catch a pass.
