Bears win big, Colts lose late

-

Raiders 23, Colts 20

INDIANAPOL­IS (AP) — Derek Carr directed Las Vegas to Daniel Carlson’s winning 33-yard field goal as time expired, and the Raiders beat Jonathan Taylor and the Indianapol­is Colts 23-20 on Sunday to move one step closer to an AFC wild card.

After Michael Badgley kicked a tying 41-yard field goal for Indianapol­is with 1:56 left, Carr and the Raiders got the ball back at their 25 after a touchback. Carr found Hunter Renfrow for 24 yards on third-and-10 in the final minute, setting the stage for Carlson’s third field goal of the game.

Carr passed for 255 yards and a touchdown for Las Vegas (9-7), and Zay Jones had eight receptions for 120 yards.

The Raiders can wrap up an improbable playoff spot with a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers next weekend.

Indianapol­is (9-7) had won three straight and eight of 10 to move one win away from a postseason berth, but it couldn’t hold a second-half lead against Las Vegas. Taylor finished with 20 carries for 108 yards and a touchdown. The NFL’S leading rusher broke Edgerrin James’ single-season franchise record of 1,709 yards rushing on a 9-yard carry midway through the third quarter. He has 1,734 yards to go with one game left in the league’s first 17-game season. Carson Wentz was 16 of 27 for 148 yards and a touchdown.

Bears 29, NY Giants 3

CHICAGO (AP) — Robert Quinn broke Hall of Famer Richard Dent’s single-season franchise record with his 18th sack, and the Chicago Bears pounded the New York Giants 29-3 on Sunday.

Trevis Gipson added a career-high two sacks, and the Bears joined Green Bay as the only franchises with 800 victories counting the postseason. They also gave the embattled Matt Nagy a win in what might have been his final home game as their coach.

Quinn broke Dent’s mark of 17 1/2 set in 1984 when he took down Mike Glennon in the fourth quarter. By then, the Bears (6-10) were well on their way.

It was the Monsters of the Midway second straight win after losing eight of nine.

The Giants (4-12), who could also be in for changes, lost their fifth straight game. They set a season low in yards for the second week in a row, finishing with 151 after being held to 192 against Philadelph­ia.

Andy Dalton threw for 173 yards on a chilly afternoon with rookie Justin Fields missing his second straight game because of an ankle injury. The threetime Pro Bowler was 18 of 35 with a touchdown and intercepti­on in his fifth start this season.
