Packers rally to stun winless Browns
PACKERS 27 BROWNS 21 (OT) — At Cleveland, Brett Hundley threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams in overtime as the Packers rallied from a two-touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter for a win on Sunday over the Browns, who remain winless.
It was another devastating loss for the Browns (0-13). Green Bay's TD came after safety Josh Jones intercepted Browns rookie DeShone Kizer, who inexplicably threw the ball up for grabs while being pressured by Clay Matthews.
LIONS 24 BUCCANEERS 21 — At Tampa, Fla., Matthew Stafford passed for 381 yards with an injured throwing hand and set up Matt Prater for a 46-yard field goal in the closing seconds Sunday, helping Detroit remain in playoff contention.
Stafford made his 109th consecutive start despite being limited in practice after his right hand was stepped on during the previous week at Baltimore. He completed 36 of 44 attempts against the Bucs (4-9), and the Lions (7-6) overcame two interceptions and a fumble to stop a two-game losing streak.
BILLS 13 COLTS 7 (OT) — At Orchard Park, N.Y., LeSean McCoy scored on a 21-yard run with 1:33 left in overtime to secure Buffalo’s win over Indianapolis in a wintry, white-out setting best suited for snow shoes and sled dogs.
McCoy finished with 156 yards rushing and topped the 1,000yard mark for the sixth time in his career on a slick, snow-covered field.
Buffalo (7-6) stayed alive in the AFC playoff picture, while the Colts (3-10) were mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
49ERS 26 TEXANS 16 — At Houston, Jimmy Garoppolo threw for a career-high 334 yards and a touchdown to help San Francisco to its second straight win.
Garoppolo again showed that he could be the answer for the 49ers (3-10) at quarterback, going 20 of 33 in his second start for the team. Acquired before the trade deadline from New England, Garoppolo threw for 293 yards in his debut with the team last week to help the 49ers to a 15-14 win at Chicago.
CHIEFS 26 RAIDERS 15 — At Kansas City, Mo., Kareem Hunt ran for 116 yards and a touchdown, the Chiefs shut down Derek Carr and the Raiders offence and Kansas City held on to beat Oakland to snap a four-game losing streak.
The suddenly stingy Chiefs (7-6) also made a big statement in the crowded AFC West race. They entered the game tied atop the division standings with the Raiders (6-7) and the Chargers, who played Washington later Sunday and visit Kansas City next Saturday night.
BEARS 33 BENGALS 7 — At Cincinnati, rookie Mitchell Trubisky threw for a touchdown and ran for another in his best showing yet, and Chicago ended a five-game losing streak by routing lacklustre Cincinnati. Jordan Howard ran for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Bears (4-9) dominated a matchup of the NFL’s worst offences.
COWBOYS 30 GIANTS 10 — At East Rutherford, N.J., Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes and Dallas beat New York to spoil Steve Spagnuolo’s debut as interim coach and the return of quarterback Eli Manning to the Giants’ starting lineup.
PANTHERS 31 VIKINGS 24 — At Charlotte, N.C., Jonathan Stewart ran for 103 yards and three touchdowns, and the Carolina snapped Minnesota’s eight-game winning streak. Cam Newton threw for 137 yards and a touchdown and ran for 75 yards as the Panthers (9-4) racked up 216 yards on the ground.
