Hundley runs, throw for TD in Packers win over Rams
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Quarterback Brett Hundley proved he can also dish out a hit for the Green Bay Packers.
The backup to Aaron Rodgers looked like a tailback when he lowered his right shoulder into cornerback Dominique Hatfield near the goal line and barreled into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown run.
Hundley also threw for a score to lead the Packers to a 24-10 win on Thursday night over the Los Angeles Rams in the preseason finale.
At Colts 7, Bengals 6: Phillip Walker’s fourth-quarter, 29-yard touchdown pass to Justice Liggins was enough to give Indianapolis a win over Cincinnati in a fourth and final preseason game full of position battles.
With less than 48 hours until rosters will be cut to 53, both Cincinnati and Indianapolis had key spots undecided. Each team walks away with a lot of uncertainty still remaining.
At Bills 27, Lions 17: Buffalo Bills rookie quarterback Nathan Peterman continued making his offseason-long case to secure the backup job in a preseason-ending win over Detroit.
The fifth-round draft pick out of Pittsburgh finished 9 of 11 for 81 yards. Peterman played two series, which ended with Jonathan Williams scoring on a 21-yard run and Stephen Hauschka hitting a 30yard field goal.
Jaguars 13, at Falcons 7: Rookie Dede Westbrook returned from an injury with six catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, all in the first half, helping Jacksonville close the preseason with a win over Atlanta.
Westbrook, a fourth-round draft pick from Oklahoma, entered the game leading the NFL with 173 yards receiving in the preseason despite missing last week’s game against Carolina with soreness. He visited a core muscle specialist in Philadelphia on Monday.
At Jets 16, Eagles 10: Josh McCown and New York’s first-team offense got the start — and a big scare — in the preseason finale as the Jets held on to beat Philadelphia.
The 38-year-old McCown hadn’t played since the opening series of the preseason against Tennessee as the Jets gave youngsters Christian Hackenberg and Bryce Petty extended looks.
Giants 40, at Patriots 38: Aldrick Rosas hit a 48-yard field goal as time expired and New York earned a win over New England in the final exhibition game for both teams.
The Giants scored 34 points in the first half, but the Patriots outscored them 24-3 over the final 29 minutes before Rosas’ field goal.
It helped salvage a night in which Geno Smith and Josh Johnson each had touchdown passes, and the Giants’ defense returned an interception for a touchdown.
Steelers 17, at Panthers 14: Rookie Joshua Dobbs threw for one touchdown and ran for the winning score and Pittsburgh defeated Carolina in the preseason finale for both teams.
Dobbs led the Steelers 53 yards on five plays in just 43 seconds and scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 2 seconds left after rolling out to the right to lift the Steelers to a win.
Redskins 13, at Buccaneers 10: Josh Harvey-Clemons returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown and Dustin Hopkins kicked two field goals to help Washington finish an unbeaten preseason with a victory over Tampa Bay.
With every starter, and many key backups, sitting out on both sides, the Redskins dominated statistically for much of a game in which neither team
was able to get the ball into the end zone until Harvey-Clemons scored with 5:27 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Dolphins 30, at Vikings 9: Jakeem Grant caught four passes for 141 yards and a touchdown and Miami wrapped up the preseason with a victory over Minnesota.
David Fales completed 9 of 15 passes for 139 yards and two scores, including a 65-yarder to Grant , a second-year receiver that coach Adam Gase has been trying to get more involved in the Dolphins offense.
Ravens 14, at Saints 13: Baltimore got a better look at what first-round draft choice Marlon Humphrey can do when he’s healthy. They had to like what they saw.
Humphrey, drafted 16th overall out of Alabama last spring, forced a fumble, broke up a pass and made four tackles, and Baltimore beat New Orleans in the preseason finale for both clubs.
Browns 25, at Bears 0: Mitchell Trubisky got an opportunity to start and little chance to show what he can do, completing just two passes for Chicago in a preseason-ending loss to Cleveland.
Trubisky started with Mike Glennon and veteran Mark Sanchez resting for the opener against Atlanta next week. But after dazzling at times with his play in the preseason and sparking a quarterback controversy in Chicago, he simply didn’t get to make many throws in this game.
At Chiefs 30, Titans 6: First-round pick Patrick Mahomes II threw for 183 yards and a touchdown in what was likely his final game for a while, and Kansas City beat Tennessee in a preseason contest played mostly by backups.
Mahomes got the nod with Alex Smith and the rest of the starters sitting out, and he once more showed why the Chiefs moved up to draft him 10th overall. The former Texas Tech star scrambled for first downs, stood tall in the pocket and used his big arm to make plays downfield.
