NEW ORLEANS -- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- This time, Seattle won it at the goal line.It certainly wont make up for the Super Bowl loss two seasons back, but the Seahawks goal-line stand lifted them to a 31-24 victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday night.Tom Brady couldnt connect with Rob Gronkowski on a fade pattern on fourth down as New England (7-2) failed four times from inside the 2 in the dying moments.It was reminiscent of how the Seahawks (6-2-1) lost the 2015 Super Bowl when Malcolm Butler intercepted at the goal line to win the NFL title for the Patriots.Doug Baldwin caught three touchdown passes, including a 15-yarder for the final margin. Strangely, Seattle went for 2 points and failed on the conversion, leaving the Patriots a chance to tie with a touchdown and an extra point kick.But LeGarrette Blount, who earlier rushed for three touchdowns, couldnt get into the end zone from close range, nor could Brady on a pair of sneaks.BRONCOS 25, SAINTS 23NEW ORLEANS -- Denvers Justin Simmons used a perfectly timed leap over the offensive line to block an extra-point kick that would have given New Orleans a late lead, Will Parks ran it back 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion, and the Broncos pulled out a wild victory.The decisive play came while the Superdome crowd was still celebrating Brandin Cooks twisting, 32-yard touchdown catch between two defenders. That put New Orleans (4-5) in position to take the lead with 1:28 left. Simmons block of Wil Lutzs kick was scooped up by Parks, who nearly stepped out of bounds as he raced down the left sideline.It was the first such play to provide the winning points in an NFL game. The rule was instituted last year.The Broncos then recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock.Safety Darian Stewart intercepted Drew Brees twice and recovered a fumble for the Broncos (7-3), while Trevor Siemian overcame two interceptions by passing for touchdowns to Jordan Taylor and Demaryius Thomas.COWBOYS 35, STEELERS 30PITTSBURGH -- Ezekiel Elliott ran for 114 yards and two touchdowns -- both in the final two minutes -- and had an 83-yard catch-and-run for a score as the Cowboys pulled off a thrilling victory for their eighth straight win.Dak Prescott overcame an early fumble to pass for 319 yards and two scores for Dallas (8-1), which matched the longest single-season win streak in club history behind the two rookies who hardly seem bothered by the stage. Dez Bryant added six catches for 116 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown reception.Ben Roethlisberger threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns. Antonio Brown caught 14 passes for 154 yards, including a 15-yard score with 42 seconds left after Roethlisberger faked a spike to surprise the Dallas defense.The heady play -- a throwback to Hall of Famer Dan Marinos move while leading Miami to a victory over the New York Jets in 1994 -- gave the Steelers (4-5) a one-point lead.It also gave Prescott and Elliott too much time.Dolphins 31, Chargers 24SAN DIEGO -- Kiko Alonso intercepted Philip Rivers pass and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown with 1:01 left to give Miami a fourth straight win. The Dolphins (5-4) intercepted Rivers four times, all in the fourth quarter.Alonso jumped in front of Tyrell Williams and outraced everybody into the end zone for the winning score.Two plays into the ensuing drive, Rivers was intercepted again, by Tony Lippett, his second of the game.Rivers threw three touchdown passes to move past John Elway for eighth place on the career list with 301. Rivers 51-yard touchdown pass to Williams with 4:04 left gave the Chargers (4-6) a 24-21 lead.Miami came right back to get a 27-yard field goal from Andrew Franks to tie it. That was set up by Ryan Tannehills 56-yard pass to DeVante Parker and a roughing-the-passer call that put the ball on the San Diego 10.CARDINALS 23, 49ERS 20GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Chandler Catanzaro kicked a 34-yard field goal as time expired. Catanzaro missed twice on winning field goal tries earlier in the season, most memorably a 24-yarder in overtime of a 6-6 tie against Seattle.But this attempt was right down the middle as Arizona (4-4-1) narrowly averted a devastating loss.The 49ers (1-8) lost their eighth in a row despite a strong game by Colin Kaepernick, who tied it 20-20 on a 4-yard run with 1:55 to play.That was enough time for Carson Palmer to gain redemption after three second-half turnovers, the last an interception by Gerald Hodges that led to the tying touchdown. Palmer completed 4 of 7 passes for 64 yards, including a leaping 26-yard grab by Michael Floyd, as the Cardinals drove from their 15 to the San Francisco 16 to set up the winning kick.CHIEFS 20, PANTHERS 17CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin with 20 seconds left, Cairo Santos kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired, and the Chiefs overcame a 17-point deficit.The game was tied when Benjamin caught a pass from Cam Newton, and Peters ripped the ball from his arms. Santos fourth field goal of the day split the uprights, lifting the Chiefs (7-2) to their fifth straight victory and 17th win in their last 19 games.Eric Berry also returned an interception 42 yards for a touchdown as Kansas Citys defense came up with big plays when needed. The Chiefs failed to score an offensive touchdown.Newton threw for 261 yards and a touchdown and ran for 54 yards and a score for the Panthers (3-6).EAGLES 24, FALCONS 15PHILADELPHIA -- Ryan Mathews ran for 108 yards and two touchdowns, while a tenacious defense held down the leagues highest-scoring offense.Carson Wentz threw for 231 yards and led the Eagles (5-4) to a comeback victory for the first time this season. Caleb Sturgis made three field goals, including a clutch kick from 48 yards to seal the win.Matt Ryan threw a 76-yard touchdown pass to Taylor Gabriel in the fourth quarter to give Atlanta (6-4) a 15-13 lead, but Philadelphia answered.Mathews ran in from the 5 and also converted the 2-point conversion for a 21-15 lead. On Atlantas ensuing possession, Julio Jones dropped a pass on third-and-12 and the Falcons punted. Jones couldnt make a difficult catch on fourth-and-5 on Atlantas next drive.REDSKINS 26, VIKINGS 20LANDOVER, Md. -- Kirk Cousins threw for two touchdowns, Preston Smith had two sacks and a game-altering interception in Washingtons first victory in almost a month.Washington (5-3-1) got all of its second-half points off the foot of Dustin Hopkins, who hit four field goals, including a 50-yarder. The Redskins shut out Minnesota (5-4) in the second half, and Smith sacked Sam Bradford in the final seconds to hand the Vikings their fourth consecutive loss.Cousins was 22 of 33 for 262 yards with touchdown passes to Vernon Davis and Jamison Crowder. Robert Kelley ran for 97 yards, helping Washington bounce back from a rough 6-minute stretch.Bradford was 31 of 39 for 307 yards, two touchdowns and the interception that Smith tipped and caught with 5:44 left. Stefon Diggs had 13 catches for 164 yards.TITANS 47, PACKERS 25NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Marcus Mariota threw for 295 yards and four touchdowns in the rout. Five Titans scored a touchdown in the first half as Tennessee put together its best scoring performance this season with 35 points.With the win, the Titans (5-5) also matched their five victories over the past two seasons combined.DeMarco Murray set the tone on the opening play from scrimmage, running 75 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 123 yards and also threw a TD pass, becoming the first non-quarterback to do that for this franchise in the same game since Earl Campbell on Sept. 7, 1980, for the then-Houston Oilers.Brian Orakpo had two of Tennessees five sacks, and the Titans also forced three turnovers.The Packers (4-5) started a three-game road swing by losing their third straight.TEXANS 24, JAGUARS 13JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Brock Osweiler threw two touchdown passes and Kareem Jackson returned an interception 42 yards for a score. The Texans (6-3) scored on offense and defense and set up another score with special teams, a complete team effort that led to their first road win of the season. It kept them perfect (3-0) against the AFC South. They won their fifth in a row against Jacksonville.The Jaguars (2-7) lost their fourth straight and fell to 0-4 at home. Coach Gus Bradleys team rallied late, with Blake Bortles hitting Allen Robinson for a touchdown and again for a 2-point conversion.The loss dropped Bradleys record to 14-43 in four seasons and prompted even the most loyal supporters to question why owner Shad Khan hasnt made a change.BUCCANEERS 36, BEARS 10TAMPA, Fla. -- Jameis Winston threw for 312 yards and two touchdowns against mistake-prone Chicago.Winston threw for TDs of 10 yards to Cameron Brate and 43 yards to Freddie Martino, the latter set up by a bizarre highlight-reel play. The No. 1 pick in last years draft scrambled 23 yards backward into his end zone before avoiding a safety and launching a 39-yard completion to Mike Evans at the Chicago 38.Martino, a former practice squad player with two career receptions, scored his first NFL touchdown after a delay-of-game penalty pushed the Bucs (4-5) back to the 43.Two weeks after returning from injury and helping the Bears (2-7) beat NFC North leader Minnesota, Jay Cutler threw two interceptions and fumbled twice, one resulting in a third-quarter safety that put the Bucs up 29-10.The Bucs forced four turnovers overall and sacked Cutler four times.RAMS 9, JETS 6EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Alec Ogletree intercepted Bryce Petty with just under two minutes left to clinch this snoozer. Petty made his first NFL start in place of an injured Ryan Fitzpatrick, but couldnt get much going against the Rams defense.After getting the ball with 2:55 remaining and down by three, Petty tried to lead the Jets (3-7) downfield. But Pettys pass to Quincy Enunwa was picked off by Ogletree and Enunwa tried to wrestle it away from the linebacker to no avail.Greg Zuerlein kicked three field goals, including a go-ahead 34-yarder with 6:52 left, helping the Rams (4-5) snap a four-game losing streak and avoid their first five-game skid since Weeks 9-13 last season.The game featured 15 punts -- eight by the Jets and seven by the Rams.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Randy Johnson Jersey .

Each week, ESPN.com writer Brett Okamoto provides his take on the hottest topics in the world of mixed martial arts.This week, Okamoto squares off with UFC Hall of Famer Stephan Bonnar?to debate all things UFC 202 ahead of Saturdays pay-per-view card from Las Vegas. Bonnar (15-9), 39, retired following his 2014 loss to Tito Ortiz?under the Bellator MMA banner. He is the host of The Final Round with Stephan Bonnar podcast.?1.?How much star power does Conor McGregor lose if he suffers a second consecutive loss to Nate Diaz at UFC 202?Bonnar: I dont get it. I mean, hes such a big star and its one thing to have your big star get the s--- kicked out of him once, but why do it again right away? It would be one thing if the fight was close but Conor is a 145-pound fighter. Diaz is a big guy. Conor got full extension on his punches, hit him with his best shots and Diaz laughed at him. I dont get it. Yeah hes gonna lose star power. Honestly, I dont see this fight playing out too much different than the first. Conors got a big following in Ireland and people can say he was fighting out of his weight class, which is true if you look at what hes done at 145. Id say hell lose about 20 percent of his star power but its recoverable. Hell lose it short term but not long term.Okamoto:?Keep in mind: McGregors star power could diminish by half and hed still have more than just about anyone on the UFC roster. So, take this with a grain of salt -- but yes, his star power would take a significant hit. Honestly, it shouldnt. Casual fans seem to hold MMA fighters to an impossibly high standard. Like Bonnar said, McGregor is fighting outside his weight class and taking risks. Whatever happens, hes still the featherweight champion of the world. He still knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds! Losing to Diaz twice shouldnt kill all the momentum he built but the reality is that it would to a certain degree. Like Bonnar though, I do think any star power McGregor might lose, hed have an opportunity to get it back.2.?Win or lose, McGregors next fight should be a featherweight title unification bout against Aldo. Agree or disagree?Bonnar:?Absolutely. Conor should be back fighting at 145 right now. He shouldnt be fighting out of his weight class. I dont understand why hes doing it. Diaz is rangy, tall -- hes unlike anyone else Conor would be facing at 145. So, yeah, Conor needs to go back to 145.Okamoto:?Im surprising myself a little here ... but I disagree. If he loses, yes, go back to 145 and defend your title. If he wins, Id have interest in him fighting Eddie Alvarez for the 155-pound championship. That was where this whole thing started, before Rafael dos Anjos broken foot turned everything upside-down. I dont mind seeing McGregor get that opportunity. Hes undefeated at 145. And not only is he undefeated, he has been dominant at that weight. If he beats Diaz, hed be coming off a quality win against a former lightweight title challenger. There are definitely worthy contenders already at lightweight, but not one that truly stands above the rest. Khabib Nurmagomedov is the closest thing, but he has been inactive. If McGregor wins, I dont mind him chasing a second title at all.3.?If McGregor wins and evens his rivalry with Diaz, how soon should the UFC promote a trilogy?Bonnar:?No thoughts on this because its not gonna happen. I hope the betting odds come out and, you know, Nate is only a small favorite and not a 4-1. I think its a pretty safe bet. Its not gonna happen, Conor winning this fight. If it somehow did, for MMA? Oh, itd be awesome. The trilogy would have to be the following fight and it would draw record numbers. Thats the best thing that could happen for this sport is Conor pull off the upset and have a trilogy fight.Okamotto:?You could argue they would owe it to Diaz to do it right away.dddddddddddd As Diaz has mentioned numerous times leading up to this rematch, where were his rematches? He lost fights in the past and the UFC moved on, never giving him an opportunity to right some of those wrongs. On the other hand, I dont think youd do it right away. In fact, I think its better for everyone, Diaz included, if you dont do it right away. It will always have legs. Always. Thats the good thing about a 1-1 rivalry, you can go back to it pretty much any time. So, if McGregor wins, Id say move on, book McGregor to a 155-pound title fight. Book Diaz to another big-name fight. Let the want build up to see this again, maybe a year or even two down the line.4.?If Diaz wins, whom should he fight next?Bonnar:?I think he has got a lot of pull after this. Conor has really given Nate some huge paydays. Compared to the other guys Nate has fought in the division -- he has been in some solid fights -- but main eventing a card against a star like that really gives you a heck of a lot of power. If he wins, which I think he will, it needs to be a big fight. Id say, why not give him a title shot at 155 pounds against Eddie Alvarez? Stylistically, I dont like that matchup for him, but star power-wise, he has got to main event a fight. His weight class is really 155. He does well at 170, but Id say the next fight for him would be a title fight at 155.Okamoto:?Yep, Alvarez for the lightweight title. I guess that means I vote for the winner of this fight (whoever it is) to face Alvarez. Again, that goes back to my opinion that there are several solid contenders in this division but no one who truly, truly stands out. And I have a great deal of love for Nurmagomedov, but I dont have to see him in a title fight right now. Have him win one more against a highly ranked opponent and then I will feel that way. Alvarez wants to fight Diaz because he knows its a big fight. The two have history. Its a sellable fight and Diaz would deserve it.5.?Anthony Johnson and Glover Teixeira?will meet?in the UFC 202 co-main event. Which one is a greater threat to Daniel Cormiers?light heavyweight title?Bonnar: Anthonys punching power is the best shot. That guy catches you, hes putting you out. We saw him land that overhand right on Cormier [at UFC 187 in May 2015, Cormier won via submission] and it surprised him. Cormier said, Wow, this guy can hit. I better not mess around too much standing with him. The fight between Johnson and Glover is really interesting. Glover is really solid on the ground but if he cant out-wrestle you -- Anthony Johnsons hips are so strong, Glover is not gonna be able to take him down. I think Anthony, defensively, is a phenomenal wrestler and offensively, I think hes better than what weve seen. We rarely see him use it. If hes smart, hell use his offensive wrestling to make it easier. I think he has the stronger hips and better wrestling than Glover.Okamoto:?I agree with Bonnar here, too. I would favor Cormier against either of them, but Johnsons punching power makes for a dicey title defense. That doesnt mean I wouldnt enjoy a Cormier-Teixeira fight, though. Teixeira is dangerous in multiple areas and even though hed be at a complete disadvantage from a wrestling standpoint against Cormier, I dont think it would be to the extent where it would essentially ruin the bout -- as in, Cormier taking him down so easily itd be a drama-free snoozefest. In other words, I believe Teixeira could at least give Cormier a challenge. But if one has a better shot at beating Cormier than the other, I think its clearly Johnson.
