Newton's 4 TDs lead unbeaten Panthers past Packers 37-29
By STEVE REED
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Cam Newton was determined to protect the Carolina Panthers' house on Sunday at all costs.
That meant the fifth-year quarterback tearing down a large Green Bay Packers banner before the game that was hanging over the inside wall of the stadium - and later taking down the Packers by throwing for three touchdowns and running for another in a 37-29 win.
Newton threw for 297 yards as the Panthers (8-0) took an important step toward securing home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Every other NFC team has at least two losses, including the Packers (6-2).
Carolina has now won 12 straight regular-season games, including seven straight at home.
''There was a Green Bay banner in Bank of America Stadium - and that just doesn't match,'' Newton said. ''... We take pride in having an edge and playing in Bank of America Stadium and playing in front of the Carolinas every week, and it's something that I feel it was my due diligence to protect'' the stadium.
Carolina led by 23 points in the fourth quarter before Aaron Rodgers rallied Green Bay and nearly gave the Packers a chance to extend the game into overtime.
Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four TDs, but couldn't take advantage of one of Newton's few mistakes: an interception with 3:38 left in the game that gave the Packers the ball at the Carolina 22. Down by 8, Rodgers fourth-and-goal pass from the Carolina 4 was intercepted by linebacker Thomas Davis.
It capped a frustrating day for the Packers. Rodgers was so annoyed he threw his tablet on the ground on the sideline after watching the replay.
''We had an opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something,'' Rodgers said. ''I can't explain. It was a mistake for me, and something I'll think about on the ride home. I don't know who was in my face; all I know is I had Randall (Cobb) wide open for a touchdown.''
Earlier in the game, Julius Peppers refused to give the ball back to Newton after the quarterback scored a touchdown, instead electing to toss the ball down the field in the opposite direction. Newton retrieved the ball and gave it to a fan.
And, down by 37-14 in the fourth quarter, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix began jawing at Peppers, who was seated on the bench. Peppers stood up and talked back before B.J. Raji stepped in, shoving Clinton-Dix backward.
''It doesn't concern me,'' Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. ''It's football. Things happen on the sidelines. It's a product of us not playing to our standard. Sometimes things like that happen. I have no concerns.''
It was the second straight game the Panthers nearly surrendered a commanding fourth quarter lead. Carolina lost a 17-point lead on Monday night to Indianapolis before rallying to win 29-26 in overtime.
''We make it tough, I don't know why,'' Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. ''It's almost like we like torturing ourselves.''
Coach Ron Rivera said the Panthers can't put themselves in that position.
''When you have somebody down you have to make plays and put them away,'' Rivera said.
Carolina outscored Green Bay 24-0 in the second period to open a 27-7 halftime lead behind three Newton scores.
The dual-threat quarterback was dominant in the first half, throwing for 209 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 37 yards and another score.
The Packers opened the game in man coverage and Newton made them pay right away by finding huge holes to run through for big gains.
Carolina also had a bevy of big plays in the passing game.
Carolina's first score was set up by a 59-yard pass to Jerricho Cotchery. Newton gave Carolina the lead for good at 10-7 with a 52-yard pass to rookie Devin Funchess leading to a 7-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen. Later, he came back with a 39-yard touchdown strike to Philly Brown with 41 seconds left in the half.
He also scored his 38th career TD rushing in the first half, moving into a tie for second place all-time among quarterbacks with Kordell Stewart. Only Steve Young (43) has more.
Newton repeatedly went after rookie cornerback Damarious Randall, and the Panthers, despite playing without top defensive end Charles Johnson, kept pressure on Rodgers all day.
Still, Rodgers wouldn't give in.
His 29-yard TD pass to James Starks and a 2-point conversion toss to Davante Adams cut the lead to 15. Then, on fourth-and-14, Rodgers rolled to his left evading three pass rushers and fired over the middle on the run to James Jones for a 36-yard completion to keep Green Bay's hopes alive. Rodgers completed the drive with 3-yard pass to Richard Rodgers, his second touchdown of the game, to cut the lead to 37-29.
''He is a first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback who doesn't quit,'' Rivera said.
NOTES: The Panthers sacked Rodgers five times. ... The Panthers ran for 130 yards, marking the 19th straight game they have gained at least 100 yards on the ground. ... Eddie Lacy was a nonfactor and left with an ankle injury. He had 10 yards on five carries.

Mariota, Titans beat Saints in overtime 34-28
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Interim Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey paused for a moment and took a deep breath while he regained his composure.
The clutch play of rookie Marcus Mariota and the relentless effort of his beat-up defense meant that much to him.
Mariota passed for a personal-best 371 yards and four touchdowns, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Anthony Fasano in overtime, and Tennessee snapped a six-game skid with a 34-28 victory over New Orleans on Sunday.
''I'm still shaking,'' Mularkey said. ''It was an absolutely great win for this team. They are so competitive and want to win so badly. Never once did they ever flinch. We kept coming back and we had to find a way to win this game.''
The Saints (4-5), who had won three in a row, led 21-10 but could not put away the Titans (2-6), who turned in a feisty performance in their first game since coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired and replaced by Mularkey.
''Obviously, when you lose like that in overtime, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth,'' Saints coach Sean Payton said. ''It was a game, despite the imperfections and how we played, we had a chance still at the end and we weren't able to execute.''
Sunday also marked Mariota's return from a knee sprain that sidelined him for two games. He completed 28 of 39 passes, at times converting quick, decisive throws under pressure. He was not sacked, sometimes rolling away from pressure to buy more time, and did not turn the ball over.
Mariota said he didn't want to overstate the significance of one victory, but added, ''After this hectic week of ours, to pull out this win is huge.''
Brees was 28 of 39 for 387 yards and three touchdowns. He also scored on a short keeper.
However, he was sacked four times and intercepted on a third-quarter pass to the end zone that was intended for Mark Ingram. Instead, it found Tennessee's B.W. Webb, who had been moved up from the practice squad a day earlier because of injuries to defensive backs Jason McCourty (groin) and Blidi Wreh-Wilson (hamstring).
Both teams missed go-ahead field goal attempts in the last two minutes of regulation. Tennessee's Ryan Succop hit the cross bar on a 55-yard try that would have been a career long. Then Kai Forbath, who a week earlier had kicked a game-winning field goal, had his 46-yard attempt partially blocked by Coty Sensabaugh.
The Saints had won four of five to get back to .500 after an 0-3 start. But like last season, when they also climbed back to 4-4 after a poor start, they lost a fourth-quarter lead at home - and then the game in overtime.
''When you lose the turnover battle, which we did today, when you can't execute a simple field goal, it's going to be up and down,'' Payton said. ''To get that consistency that we're looking for, we're going to have to be better in a lot of areas.''
Tennessee had to overcome its own lack of discipline. One roughing-the-passer flag wiped out an interception in the first half, while two others gave the Saints first-and-goal on a pair of touchdown drives. Tennessee also was called for unsportsmanlike conduct several times for arguing with officials.
The Saints took a 28-20 lead on Brees' short pass to tight end Michael Hoomanawanui shortly after Brian Orakpo was called for a double unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for arguing a flag thrown against teammate David Bass for a high hit on a sack.
The Titans responded with Mariota's 8-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hunter, followed by a 2-point conversion to Delanie Walker, who also caught a pair of touchdown passes and finished with seven receptions for 95 yards.
Brees completed eight of his first 10 passes for 150 yards and touchdowns of 10 yards to Josh Hill and 38 yards to Brandin Cooks.
The Titans did not gain a first down on their first two possessions and gained only 29 yards on their first 10 plays, but Marcus Murphy's fumble on a Saints punt return set up Succop's 51-yard field goal.
Later, the Saints essentially gifted Tennessee a touchdown when defensive backs Jairus Byrd and Keenan Lewis fought over what looked like a certain interception. The ball popped into the arms of Walker, who ran free for a 61-yard touchdown.
''The stands was the target, to be honest,'' Mariota said. ''They brought pressure and we weren't able to pick it up. I was trying to throw it away. ... Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.''
NOTES: Mariota's 13 TDs this season are the most ever by a Titans rookie. ... Cornerback Perrish Cox left in the second half. Mularkey said his hamstring was tightening up.

Manning throws for 2 TDs, Giants hold off Buccaneers
By FRED GOODALL
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Eli Manning and a resilient New York Giants defense answered one last charge by Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Manning threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Giants rebound from last weekend's debacle at New Orleans with a 32-18 victory over the mistake-prone Buccaneers on Sunday.
''At times we didn't play as well as we're capable of playing, and then we kind of boosted it up at the end to make sure that we were going to win,'' New York coach Tom Coughlin said.
''We always preach about finishing,'' he added, ''and tonight we did.''
Manning threw first-half TD passes of 8 yards to Reuben Randle and 4 yards to Shane Vereen. The star quarterback did some of his best work on third down, including a crucial 9-yard throw to Odell Beckham Jr. to extend a late drive that produced a field goal while exhausting most of the final five minutes of the clock.
The defense, bolstered by the return of Jason Pierre-Paul, did its part by keeping the Winston-led Tampa Bay offense out of the end zone until the rookie scrambled 10 yards for a TD that made it 20-18 with 9:25 remaining.
''We did what we had to do to get a win. We needed a drive at the very end and we were able to get it,'' Manning said. ''We erased almost the last five minutes, got a field goal to go up eight and give them just a little bit of time.''
Twenty-three seconds to be exact.
''Thought we were ready to get over the hump, but we're not quite there yet,'' Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said.
''In the end, we dropped balls, untimely penalties in terrible situations, fumbles that didn't help,'' Smith added. ''When a game ends up like this one did, things like that really stand out.''
Josh Brown booted four field goals for the Giants (5-4), including fourth-quarter kicks of 53 and 44 yards that gave New York some breathing room after the Bucs (3-5) pulled within two points. The victory on the heels of a 52-49 loss to the Saints moved NFC East-leading New York back over .500.
After Winston scored, the rookie's 2-point conversion pass to the rear of the end zone was caught out of bounds. The Giants sealed the victory with Brown's fourth field goal at the end of a 4-minute, 34-second drive, and Trevin Wade had a fumble recovery for a touchdown on the game's final play.
Winston completed 19 of 36 passes for 247 yards. The rookie went a fourth straight game without a turnover, but running backs Doug Martin and Charles Sims hurt Tampa Bay's chances of winning consecutive games for the first time in two years by losing fumbles.
''The thing you have to focus on his how hard we're playing. We're playing our tail off,'' Winston said. ''Eventually we're going to break through. Eventually it's going to happen.''
Manning, who threw for six TDs the previous week against the Saints, completed 26 of 40 passes and was intercepted twice. Beckham had nine receptions for 105 yards.
Meanwhile, the Giants defense got a lift from the season debut for Pierre-Paul, who played 46 of 63 defensive snaps (73 percent), according to the team.
A week after allowing 608 yards, including 505 yards and a record-tying seven touchdowns passing to Drew Brees, the NFL's last-ranked defense held the Bucs to three first-half field goals - one after Manning threw an interception on the first play of the game and another after Winston and Mike Evans teamed on a 68-yard catch and run to the New York 12.
Evans had eight receptions for 152 yards, but also hurt the Bucs with several dropped passes.
Pierre-Paul had two tackles and two quarterback hits in his first action since the July 4 fireworks accident that sidelined him for training camp and the first eight games.
The sixth-year pro lost his right index finger and suffered other damage to the hand in the accident. He returned to practice two weeks ago and was believed to be on track to return next week against the New England Patriots.
But he progressed enough during workouts that the Giants decided to activate him against the Bucs.
''I just know I'm happy that I'm back out here doing what I love to do. I got a second opportunity,'' Pierre-Paul said.
NOTES: The game was a homecoming of sorts for Pierre-Paul, who played in college at South Florida. The Bulls play home games in Raymond James Stadium, which is also home to the Bucs. ... New York DT Jonathan Hankins left in the second quarter with a torn pectoral muscle. ... Tampa Bay S Bradley McDougald (concussion) and G Ali Marpet (ankle) also were injured during the first half and did not return.

Promoted backup Blaine Gabbert leads 49ers past Falcons
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Blaine Gabbert led the San Francisco 49ers to a rare win, then left Levi's Stadium unsure if he has earned himself another start.
Even with demoted Colin Kaepernick having been downright awful in recent years against the next opponent, rival Seattle.
Gabbert of all people gave the Niners a big lift in a lost season, throwing a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to tight end Garrett Celek, and undermanned San Francisco beat the Atlanta Falcons 17-16 on Sunday.
''I'm not commenting on it. I'm not going to get into it, because I'm going to go back and watch tape,'' coach Jim Tomsula said. ''Blaine had a great day today.''
A first-round bust in Jacksonville, Gabbert made his first start in more than two years and exhibited the poise and production demoted starter Kaepernick lacked all year.
San Francisco (3-6) heads into the bye on a winning note after a week of change.
Making his first start since Week 5 of 2013 for the Jaguars, Gabbert didn't take a sack as he was able to quickly get the ball out behind an offensive line that has faced heavy scrutiny all year.
''All I know is we got the victory today, we've got a bye week coming up and we're going to prepare for Seattle. That's our next game up there, so whatever 11 guys we march out on the field we're going to go up there and expect a victory,'' Gabbert said in almost the perfect, seemingly rehearsed response. He then added, ''I consider myself a smart guy, so I can form my own words. It was wonderful, I'm so appreciative of this opportunity.''
Celek made TD catches of 1 and 11 yards to give him three on the year. San Francisco's stout defense flustered Matt Ryan despite the patchwork use of backups because of a rash of injuries. It sure seemed the reeling 49ers were at a bigger disadvantage than the 4 1/2-point underdogs they were to begin the week, when tight end Vernon Davis got traded to Denver.
Gabbert threw an interception midway through the fourth quarter, giving Atlanta (6-3) another chance with 7:14 to go. After an incompletion, Ryan hit six straight throws, but eventually missed Julio Jones in the end zone. Atlanta opted not to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1, kicking a field goal, then falling just short.
''I thought we would get the kick, get the stop defensively, then use our timeouts and go attack on offense,'' coach Dan Quinn said. ''We're a really good two-minute offense. ... I felt like we were stopping them defensively and could do it again and go win that way.''
Kaepernick watched it all from the sideline until he was needed early in the fourth quarter for two plays that gained no yards. Gabbert took a hard blow to the head from linebacker Philip Wheeler and came out to be checked for a concussion.
Jones had 10 catches for 137 yards, and his 18-yard reception in the third period put him over 1,000 yards for the second straight season. But the Falcons lost for the third time in four games following a 5-0 start, with their first two-game skid of 2015.
Ryan completed a 54-yard pass to wide-open Jones late in the first half, then Devonta Freeman caught a 17-yard score two plays later to pull Atlanta within 17-13 at halftime. Ryan completed all three passes that drive.
Gabbert ended a 10-game losing streak as a starter since beating Indianapolis on Sept. 23, 2012, improving to 6-22. He went 15 of 25 for 185 yards. The 49ers ended a two-game stretch without a touchdown and they had gone three in the previous five failing to reach the end zone.
Gabbert was missing his top running back and wide receiver, Carlos Hyde and Anquan Boldin. San Francisco played without its top three cornerbacks and started Marcus Cromartie a day after he was promoted from the practice squad to face the fifth-ranked passing offense.
Newcomers Shaun Draughn and Kendall Gaskins shared the running back duties for an injured unit.
Atlanta, the losingest team ever at San Francisco's former home of Candlestick Park, didn't fare much better in its first visit to second-year, $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium - which was only about two-thirds full given the combination of a struggling team and early rain.
NOTES: Atlanta was held to 17 yards rushing. ... Falcons rookie wideout Justin Hardy was active for the second straight week and made four catches for 17 yards in place of Leonard Hankerson, inactive because of a hamstring injury. ... Atlanta nose tackle Paul Soliai suffered a head injury and safety Robenson Therezie injured a hamstring late in the first quarter and didn't return. ... San Francisco FB Bruce Miller had his first carry of the season in the third quarter.

Vikings lose Bridgewater, beat Rams 21-18 in OT
By DAVE CAMPBELL
AP Pro Football Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Angered by a hit to Teddy Bridgewater's head that knocked the quarterback out of the game, the Minnesota Vikings kept their composure and steered their feelings toward another steely victory.
Then they let the St. Louis Rams have it.
Adrian Peterson rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries, helping set up Blair Walsh's 40-yard field goal in overtime that gave the Vikings a 21-18 victory over the Rams on Sunday.
''We're a disciplined football team. We do things right. That's why we are the least-penalized team in the league because we play by the rules,'' said Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, who had a hard time holding back.
In a predictably grind-it-out game between similarly constructed teams, the Vikings (6-2) ended Todd Gurley's streak with 125-plus yards rushing at four straight games. Gurley gained 89 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts for the Rams (4-4), who took the overtime kickoff at Zimmer's deferral but quickly went three-and-out.
Marcus Sherels tiptoed along the sideline for a 26-yard return of Johnny Hekker's 63-yard punt, and Peterson ran the ball well into Walsh's range to give the Vikings their seventh straight win at home.
Greg Zuerlein made four field goals for the Rams, including a 53-yarder with 17 seconds left in regulation to make up for the 48-yarder that went wide right a few minutes before.
''It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't have to be,'' Vikings left guard Brandon Fusco said. ''As long as we have more points than the opponent at the end, that's all we care about.''
With Green Bay's loss at Carolina, the Vikings forged a tie for the NFC North lead, taking momentum into a tough second-half schedule. Bridgewater greeted his teammates as they ran through the stadium tunnel after the game, clapping and slapping their backs.
On a 5-yard scramble early in the fourth quarter, Bridgewater slid to protect himself when cornerback Lamarcus Joyner dived at him shoulder-first. Bridgewater appeared to be out cold, before walking slowly off the field and eventually jogging to the locker room for evaluation.
Asked if he felt the Rams played dirty, Zimmer said simply: ''Yes.''
''If we were out on the street,'' he said, ''we probably would've had a fight.''
Zimmer's postgame handshake with Rams coach Jeff Fisher was rather icy, but both Fisher and Joyner expressed regret about the play and wished Bridgewater well.
''It's a part of the game. I'm disappointed that he went out. I hope he returns to play as soon as he can,'' Fisher said.
Joyner is actually a lifelong friend of Bridgewater's.
''If I could take it back, personally, I would take it back because I'm not a dirty player. I wouldn't want to take joy from his mom or from his team,'' Joyner said. ''Was it intentional? Not at all.''
Zuerlein had a career-long 61-yarder among three field goals in the second quarter, the first from 60-plus yards in the NFL in nearly two years. Zuerlein became the second kicker in NFL history with multiple field goals from 60-plus yards, joining Oakland's Sebastian Janikowski.
Bridgewater, who was replaced by former Rams backup Shaun Hill, finished 13 for 21 for 144 yards with one interception. He ran for a touchdown in the third quarter to regain the lead for the Vikings, and then had a bootleg rollout for a 2-point conversion.
Late in the third quarter, Rams defensive end William Hayes drew the ire of the Vikings and the crowd with a low hit on Bridgewater, who grabbed his right knee. That was not penalized.
Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended by the NFL for an entire season for his oversight of a bounty system while in the same role with New Orleans. The Saints were found to have been paid bonuses for hard hits that hurt the other team, including Brett Favre and the Vikings in the NFC championship game after the 2009 season.
Nick Foles completed 18 of 33 passes for 168 yards for the Rams, who punted eight times and were penalized 12 times for 87 yards. They rallied from being down 10-0 less than 10 minutes into the game, but Fisher, wary of the wind, called for a 2-point conversion after Gurley's touchdown run. The relentless rookie was stuffed for no gain.
NOTES: Only six field goals longer than 61 yards have been made in NFL history. Matt Prater (64 yards in Denver on Dec. 8, 2013) has the record. ... In five games for the Vikings, Stefon Diggs has 11 catches covering 20-plus yards.

Newton's 4 TDs lead unbeaten Panthers past Packers 37-29
By STEVE REED
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) Cam Newton was determined to protect the Carolina Panthers' house on Sunday at all costs.
That meant the fifth-year quarterback tearing down a large Green Bay Packers banner before the game that was hanging over the inside wall of the stadium - and later taking down the Packers by throwing for three touchdowns and running for another in a 37-29 win.
Newton threw for 297 yards as the Panthers (8-0) took an important step toward securing home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Every other NFC team has at least two losses, including the Packers (6-2).
Carolina has now won 12 straight regular-season games, including seven straight at home.
''There was a Green Bay banner in Bank of America Stadium - and that just doesn't match,'' Newton said. ''... We take pride in having an edge and playing in Bank of America Stadium and playing in front of the Carolinas every week, and it's something that I feel it was my due diligence to protect'' the stadium.
Carolina led by 23 points in the fourth quarter before Aaron Rodgers rallied Green Bay and nearly gave the Packers a chance to extend the game into overtime.
Rodgers threw for 369 yards and four TDs, but couldn't take advantage of one of Newton's few mistakes: an interception with 3:38 left in the game that gave the Packers the ball at the Carolina 22. Down by 8, Rodgers fourth-and-goal pass from the Carolina 4 was intercepted by linebacker Thomas Davis.
It capped a frustrating day for the Packers. Rodgers was so annoyed he threw his tablet on the ground on the sideline after watching the replay.
''We had an opportunity for a pitch-and-catch touchdown, and I got scared by something,'' Rodgers said. ''I can't explain. It was a mistake for me, and something I'll think about on the ride home. I don't know who was in my face; all I know is I had Randall (Cobb) wide open for a touchdown.''
Earlier in the game, Julius Peppers refused to give the ball back to Newton after the quarterback scored a touchdown, instead electing to toss the ball down the field in the opposite direction. Newton retrieved the ball and gave it to a fan.
And, down by 37-14 in the fourth quarter, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix began jawing at Peppers, who was seated on the bench. Peppers stood up and talked back before B.J. Raji stepped in, shoving Clinton-Dix backward.
''It doesn't concern me,'' Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. ''It's football. Things happen on the sidelines. It's a product of us not playing to our standard. Sometimes things like that happen. I have no concerns.''
It was the second straight game the Panthers nearly surrendered a commanding fourth quarter lead. Carolina lost a 17-point lead on Monday night to Indianapolis before rallying to win 29-26 in overtime.
''We make it tough, I don't know why,'' Panthers tight end Greg Olsen said. ''It's almost like we like torturing ourselves.''
Coach Ron Rivera said the Panthers can't put themselves in that position.
''When you have somebody down you have to make plays and put them away,'' Rivera said.
Carolina outscored Green Bay 24-0 in the second period to open a 27-7 halftime lead behind three Newton scores.
The dual-threat quarterback was dominant in the first half, throwing for 209 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 37 yards and another score.
The Packers opened the game in man coverage and Newton made them pay right away by finding huge holes to run through for big gains.
Carolina also had a bevy of big plays in the passing game.
Carolina's first score was set up by a 59-yard pass to Jerricho Cotchery. Newton gave Carolina the lead for good at 10-7 with a 52-yard pass to rookie Devin Funchess leading to a 7-yard TD pass to Greg Olsen. Later, he came back with a 39-yard touchdown strike to Philly Brown with 41 seconds left in the half.
He also scored his 38th career TD rushing in the first half, moving into a tie for second place all-time among quarterbacks with Kordell Stewart. Only Steve Young (43) has more.
Newton repeatedly went after rookie cornerback Damarious Randall, and the Panthers, despite playing without top defensive end Charles Johnson, kept pressure on Rodgers all day.
Still, Rodgers wouldn't give in.
His 29-yard TD pass to James Starks and a 2-point conversion toss to Davante Adams cut the lead to 15. Then, on fourth-and-14, Rodgers rolled to his left evading three pass rushers and fired over the middle on the run to James Jones for a 36-yard completion to keep Green Bay's hopes alive. Rodgers completed the drive with 3-yard pass to Richard Rodgers, his second touchdown of the game, to cut the lead to 37-29.
''He is a first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback who doesn't quit,'' Rivera said.
NOTES: The Panthers sacked Rodgers five times. ... The Panthers ran for 130 yards, marking the 19th straight game they have gained at least 100 yards on the ground. ... Eddie Lacy was a nonfactor and left with an ankle injury. He had 10 yards on five carries.

Mariota, Titans beat Saints in overtime 34-28
By BRETT MARTEL
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Interim Tennessee Titans coach Mike Mularkey paused for a moment and took a deep breath while he regained his composure.
The clutch play of rookie Marcus Mariota and the relentless effort of his beat-up defense meant that much to him.
Mariota passed for a personal-best 371 yards and four touchdowns, including a 5-yard scoring pass to Anthony Fasano in overtime, and Tennessee snapped a six-game skid with a 34-28 victory over New Orleans on Sunday.
''I'm still shaking,'' Mularkey said. ''It was an absolutely great win for this team. They are so competitive and want to win so badly. Never once did they ever flinch. We kept coming back and we had to find a way to win this game.''
The Saints (4-5), who had won three in a row, led 21-10 but could not put away the Titans (2-6), who turned in a feisty performance in their first game since coach Ken Whisenhunt was fired and replaced by Mularkey.
''Obviously, when you lose like that in overtime, it leaves a sour taste in your mouth,'' Saints coach Sean Payton said. ''It was a game, despite the imperfections and how we played, we had a chance still at the end and we weren't able to execute.''
Sunday also marked Mariota's return from a knee sprain that sidelined him for two games. He completed 28 of 39 passes, at times converting quick, decisive throws under pressure. He was not sacked, sometimes rolling away from pressure to buy more time, and did not turn the ball over.
Mariota said he didn't want to overstate the significance of one victory, but added, ''After this hectic week of ours, to pull out this win is huge.''
Brees was 28 of 39 for 387 yards and three touchdowns. He also scored on a short keeper.
However, he was sacked four times and intercepted on a third-quarter pass to the end zone that was intended for Mark Ingram. Instead, it found Tennessee's B.W. Webb, who had been moved up from the practice squad a day earlier because of injuries to defensive backs Jason McCourty (groin) and Blidi Wreh-Wilson (hamstring).
Both teams missed go-ahead field goal attempts in the last two minutes of regulation. Tennessee's Ryan Succop hit the cross bar on a 55-yard try that would have been a career long. Then Kai Forbath, who a week earlier had kicked a game-winning field goal, had his 46-yard attempt partially blocked by Coty Sensabaugh.
The Saints had won four of five to get back to .500 after an 0-3 start. But like last season, when they also climbed back to 4-4 after a poor start, they lost a fourth-quarter lead at home - and then the game in overtime.
''When you lose the turnover battle, which we did today, when you can't execute a simple field goal, it's going to be up and down,'' Payton said. ''To get that consistency that we're looking for, we're going to have to be better in a lot of areas.''
Tennessee had to overcome its own lack of discipline. One roughing-the-passer flag wiped out an interception in the first half, while two others gave the Saints first-and-goal on a pair of touchdown drives. Tennessee also was called for unsportsmanlike conduct several times for arguing with officials.
The Saints took a 28-20 lead on Brees' short pass to tight end Michael Hoomanawanui shortly after Brian Orakpo was called for a double unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for arguing a flag thrown against teammate David Bass for a high hit on a sack.
The Titans responded with Mariota's 8-yard touchdown pass to Justin Hunter, followed by a 2-point conversion to Delanie Walker, who also caught a pair of touchdown passes and finished with seven receptions for 95 yards.
Brees completed eight of his first 10 passes for 150 yards and touchdowns of 10 yards to Josh Hill and 38 yards to Brandin Cooks.
The Titans did not gain a first down on their first two possessions and gained only 29 yards on their first 10 plays, but Marcus Murphy's fumble on a Saints punt return set up Succop's 51-yard field goal.
Later, the Saints essentially gifted Tennessee a touchdown when defensive backs Jairus Byrd and Keenan Lewis fought over what looked like a certain interception. The ball popped into the arms of Walker, who ran free for a 61-yard touchdown.
''The stands was the target, to be honest,'' Mariota said. ''They brought pressure and we weren't able to pick it up. I was trying to throw it away. ... Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.''
NOTES: Mariota's 13 TDs this season are the most ever by a Titans rookie. ... Cornerback Perrish Cox left in the second half. Mularkey said his hamstring was tightening up.

Manning throws for 2 TDs, Giants hold off Buccaneers
By FRED GOODALL
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Eli Manning and a resilient New York Giants defense answered one last charge by Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Manning threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Giants rebound from last weekend's debacle at New Orleans with a 32-18 victory over the mistake-prone Buccaneers on Sunday.
''At times we didn't play as well as we're capable of playing, and then we kind of boosted it up at the end to make sure that we were going to win,'' New York coach Tom Coughlin said.
''We always preach about finishing,'' he added, ''and tonight we did.''
Manning threw first-half TD passes of 8 yards to Reuben Randle and 4 yards to Shane Vereen. The star quarterback did some of his best work on third down, including a crucial 9-yard throw to Odell Beckham Jr. to extend a late drive that produced a field goal while exhausting most of the final five minutes of the clock.
The defense, bolstered by the return of Jason Pierre-Paul, did its part by keeping the Winston-led Tampa Bay offense out of the end zone until the rookie scrambled 10 yards for a TD that made it 20-18 with 9:25 remaining.
''We did what we had to do to get a win. We needed a drive at the very end and we were able to get it,'' Manning said. ''We erased almost the last five minutes, got a field goal to go up eight and give them just a little bit of time.''
Twenty-three seconds to be exact.
''Thought we were ready to get over the hump, but we're not quite there yet,'' Tampa Bay coach Lovie Smith said.
''In the end, we dropped balls, untimely penalties in terrible situations, fumbles that didn't help,'' Smith added. ''When a game ends up like this one did, things like that really stand out.''
Josh Brown booted four field goals for the Giants (5-4), including fourth-quarter kicks of 53 and 44 yards that gave New York some breathing room after the Bucs (3-5) pulled within two points. The victory on the heels of a 52-49 loss to the Saints moved NFC East-leading New York back over .500.
After Winston scored, the rookie's 2-point conversion pass to the rear of the end zone was caught out of bounds. The Giants sealed the victory with Brown's fourth field goal at the end of a 4-minute, 34-second drive, and Trevin Wade had a fumble recovery for a touchdown on the game's final play.
Winston completed 19 of 36 passes for 247 yards. The rookie went a fourth straight game without a turnover, but running backs Doug Martin and Charles Sims hurt Tampa Bay's chances of winning consecutive games for the first time in two years by losing fumbles.
''The thing you have to focus on his how hard we're playing. We're playing our tail off,'' Winston said. ''Eventually we're going to break through. Eventually it's going to happen.''
Manning, who threw for six TDs the previous week against the Saints, completed 26 of 40 passes and was intercepted twice. Beckham had nine receptions for 105 yards.
Meanwhile, the Giants defense got a lift from the season debut for Pierre-Paul, who played 46 of 63 defensive snaps (73 percent), according to the team.
A week after allowing 608 yards, including 505 yards and a record-tying seven touchdowns passing to Drew Brees, the NFL's last-ranked defense held the Bucs to three first-half field goals - one after Manning threw an interception on the first play of the game and another after Winston and Mike Evans teamed on a 68-yard catch and run to the New York 12.
Evans had eight receptions for 152 yards, but also hurt the Bucs with several dropped passes.
Pierre-Paul had two tackles and two quarterback hits in his first action since the July 4 fireworks accident that sidelined him for training camp and the first eight games.
The sixth-year pro lost his right index finger and suffered other damage to the hand in the accident. He returned to practice two weeks ago and was believed to be on track to return next week against the New England Patriots.
But he progressed enough during workouts that the Giants decided to activate him against the Bucs.
''I just know I'm happy that I'm back out here doing what I love to do. I got a second opportunity,'' Pierre-Paul said.
NOTES: The game was a homecoming of sorts for Pierre-Paul, who played in college at South Florida. The Bulls play home games in Raymond James Stadium, which is also home to the Bucs. ... New York DT Jonathan Hankins left in the second quarter with a torn pectoral muscle. ... Tampa Bay S Bradley McDougald (concussion) and G Ali Marpet (ankle) also were injured during the first half and did not return.

Promoted backup Blaine Gabbert leads 49ers past Falcons
By JANIE McCAULEY
AP Sports Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) Blaine Gabbert led the San Francisco 49ers to a rare win, then left Levi's Stadium unsure if he has earned himself another start.
Even with demoted Colin Kaepernick having been downright awful in recent years against the next opponent, rival Seattle.
Gabbert of all people gave the Niners a big lift in a lost season, throwing a pair of second-quarter touchdown passes to tight end Garrett Celek, and undermanned San Francisco beat the Atlanta Falcons 17-16 on Sunday.
''I'm not commenting on it. I'm not going to get into it, because I'm going to go back and watch tape,'' coach Jim Tomsula said. ''Blaine had a great day today.''
A first-round bust in Jacksonville, Gabbert made his first start in more than two years and exhibited the poise and production demoted starter Kaepernick lacked all year.
San Francisco (3-6) heads into the bye on a winning note after a week of change.
Making his first start since Week 5 of 2013 for the Jaguars, Gabbert didn't take a sack as he was able to quickly get the ball out behind an offensive line that has faced heavy scrutiny all year.
''All I know is we got the victory today, we've got a bye week coming up and we're going to prepare for Seattle. That's our next game up there, so whatever 11 guys we march out on the field we're going to go up there and expect a victory,'' Gabbert said in almost the perfect, seemingly rehearsed response. He then added, ''I consider myself a smart guy, so I can form my own words. It was wonderful, I'm so appreciative of this opportunity.''
Celek made TD catches of 1 and 11 yards to give him three on the year. San Francisco's stout defense flustered Matt Ryan despite the patchwork use of backups because of a rash of injuries. It sure seemed the reeling 49ers were at a bigger disadvantage than the 4 1/2-point underdogs they were to begin the week, when tight end Vernon Davis got traded to Denver.
Gabbert threw an interception midway through the fourth quarter, giving Atlanta (6-3) another chance with 7:14 to go. After an incompletion, Ryan hit six straight throws, but eventually missed Julio Jones in the end zone. Atlanta opted not to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1, kicking a field goal, then falling just short.
''I thought we would get the kick, get the stop defensively, then use our timeouts and go attack on offense,'' coach Dan Quinn said. ''We're a really good two-minute offense. ... I felt like we were stopping them defensively and could do it again and go win that way.''
Kaepernick watched it all from the sideline until he was needed early in the fourth quarter for two plays that gained no yards. Gabbert took a hard blow to the head from linebacker Philip Wheeler and came out to be checked for a concussion.
Jones had 10 catches for 137 yards, and his 18-yard reception in the third period put him over 1,000 yards for the second straight season. But the Falcons lost for the third time in four games following a 5-0 start, with their first two-game skid of 2015.
Ryan completed a 54-yard pass to wide-open Jones late in the first half, then Devonta Freeman caught a 17-yard score two plays later to pull Atlanta within 17-13 at halftime. Ryan completed all three passes that drive.
Gabbert ended a 10-game losing streak as a starter since beating Indianapolis on Sept. 23, 2012, improving to 6-22. He went 15 of 25 for 185 yards. The 49ers ended a two-game stretch without a touchdown and they had gone three in the previous five failing to reach the end zone.
Gabbert was missing his top running back and wide receiver, Carlos Hyde and Anquan Boldin. San Francisco played without its top three cornerbacks and started Marcus Cromartie a day after he was promoted from the practice squad to face the fifth-ranked passing offense.
Newcomers Shaun Draughn and Kendall Gaskins shared the running back duties for an injured unit.
Atlanta, the losingest team ever at San Francisco's former home of Candlestick Park, didn't fare much better in its first visit to second-year, $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium - which was only about two-thirds full given the combination of a struggling team and early rain.
NOTES: Atlanta was held to 17 yards rushing. ... Falcons rookie wideout Justin Hardy was active for the second straight week and made four catches for 17 yards in place of Leonard Hankerson, inactive because of a hamstring injury. ... Atlanta nose tackle Paul Soliai suffered a head injury and safety Robenson Therezie injured a hamstring late in the first quarter and didn't return. ... San Francisco FB Bruce Miller had his first carry of the season in the third quarter.

Vikings lose Bridgewater, beat Rams 21-18 in OT
By DAVE CAMPBELL
AP Pro Football Writer
Nov. 8, 2015
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Angered by a hit to Teddy Bridgewater's head that knocked the quarterback out of the game, the Minnesota Vikings kept their composure and steered their feelings toward another steely victory.
Then they let the St. Louis Rams have it.
Adrian Peterson rushed for 125 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries, helping set up Blair Walsh's 40-yard field goal in overtime that gave the Vikings a 21-18 victory over the Rams on Sunday.
''We're a disciplined football team. We do things right. That's why we are the least-penalized team in the league because we play by the rules,'' said Vikings coach Mike Zimmer, who had a hard time holding back.
In a predictably grind-it-out game between similarly constructed teams, the Vikings (6-2) ended Todd Gurley's streak with 125-plus yards rushing at four straight games. Gurley gained 89 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts for the Rams (4-4), who took the overtime kickoff at Zimmer's deferral but quickly went three-and-out.
Marcus Sherels tiptoed along the sideline for a 26-yard return of Johnny Hekker's 63-yard punt, and Peterson ran the ball well into Walsh's range to give the Vikings their seventh straight win at home.
Greg Zuerlein made four field goals for the Rams, including a 53-yarder with 17 seconds left in regulation to make up for the 48-yarder that went wide right a few minutes before.
''It wasn't pretty, but it doesn't have to be,'' Vikings left guard Brandon Fusco said. ''As long as we have more points than the opponent at the end, that's all we care about.''
With Green Bay's loss at Carolina, the Vikings forged a tie for the NFC North lead, taking momentum into a tough second-half schedule. Bridgewater greeted his teammates as they ran through the stadium tunnel after the game, clapping and slapping their backs.
On a 5-yard scramble early in the fourth quarter, Bridgewater slid to protect himself when cornerback Lamarcus Joyner dived at him shoulder-first. Bridgewater appeared to be out cold, before walking slowly off the field and eventually jogging to the locker room for evaluation.
Asked if he felt the Rams played dirty, Zimmer said simply: ''Yes.''
''If we were out on the street,'' he said, ''we probably would've had a fight.''
Zimmer's postgame handshake with Rams coach Jeff Fisher was rather icy, but both Fisher and Joyner expressed regret about the play and wished Bridgewater well.
''It's a part of the game. I'm disappointed that he went out. I hope he returns to play as soon as he can,'' Fisher said.
Joyner is actually a lifelong friend of Bridgewater's.
''If I could take it back, personally, I would take it back because I'm not a dirty player. I wouldn't want to take joy from his mom or from his team,'' Joyner said. ''Was it intentional? Not at all.''
Zuerlein had a career-long 61-yarder among three field goals in the second quarter, the first from 60-plus yards in the NFL in nearly two years. Zuerlein became the second kicker in NFL history with multiple field goals from 60-plus yards, joining Oakland's Sebastian Janikowski.
Bridgewater, who was replaced by former Rams backup Shaun Hill, finished 13 for 21 for 144 yards with one interception. He ran for a touchdown in the third quarter to regain the lead for the Vikings, and then had a bootleg rollout for a 2-point conversion.
Late in the third quarter, Rams defensive end William Hayes drew the ire of the Vikings and the crowd with a low hit on Bridgewater, who grabbed his right knee. That was not penalized.
Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams was suspended by the NFL for an entire season for his oversight of a bounty system while in the same role with New Orleans. The Saints were found to have been paid bonuses for hard hits that hurt the other team, including Brett Favre and the Vikings in the NFC championship game after the 2009 season.
Nick Foles completed 18 of 33 passes for 168 yards for the Rams, who punted eight times and were penalized 12 times for 87 yards. They rallied from being down 10-0 less than 10 minutes into the game, but Fisher, wary of the wind, called for a 2-point conversion after Gurley's touchdown run. The relentless rookie was stuffed for no gain.
NOTES: Only six field goals longer than 61 yards have been made in NFL history. Matt Prater (64 yards in Denver on Dec. 8, 2013) has the record. ... In five games for the Vikings, Stefon Diggs has 11 catches covering 20-plus yards.

NOTE: Randall Cobb was a yard shy of 100 yards that day and Drew Brees was a few yards shy of 400
also, the Vikings and Packers are now tied with a record of 6-2 in the NFC North
The Panthers are now on TOP of the NFC Conference as well as the NFC South
and as for the Rams, they now go to 4-4 and they are tied with the Seahawks, but they also own the 2nd place tiebreaker b/c of their win over the Seahawks in Week #1
Next Week on NBC SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, the Cardinals will take on the Seahawks in an NFC West Division Match-Up in Seattle
Somebody might take advantage in this game
and with only 8 more weeks until postseason, just like the NFC East, the NFC North and the NFC West are all up for grabs
also, The Packers and Falcons chances of going to the Postseason could also be in some serious jeopardy
