JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, leading the Packers to a victory against the Jaguars. Evans was drafted by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2006 draft and played 10 seasons with them before being released in February. If that is accurate, that’s the most devastating injury to the Saints yet. To see if I could make it from 61 yards, I got nothing to lose. But he also passed for all three of New York’s touchdowns. “You just couldn’t make up a story any better than that”. He also handled kickoffs and hit a 20-yard field goal that was tipped. The play was both the longest scoring play in Saints history, and Brees’ longest completion.

Brees said, “Obviously a bunch of guys made big plays”. It seemed like the obvious choice would be to kick the PAT, tie the game at 34, and hope to hold on for overtime.
The Cincinnati Bengals won their first road game against the New York Jets since September 13, 1981.
It was obvious that losing Breaux was a tough pill to swallow, especially after Payton reviewed the game tapes on Monday – specifically with regards to his three youngsters. Prescott was 25 of 45 for 227 yards.
Del Rio said that Smith, one of Oakland’s top free agent acquisitions this offseason after signing a four-year contract worth almost $40 million, will start again this week in the Raiders’ home opener against Atlanta. “I didn’t really ask for any feedback there”.
“Drew and I happened to be on the same page there, “said Cooks”.
Brandin Cooks caught 6-of-9 targets for 143 yards and two touchdowns in New Orleans’ Week 1 loss to the Raiders. Carolina head coach Ron Rivera is often called Riverboat Ron for his propensity to go for fourth down conversions, but maybe it’s about time we actually gave that nickname to a coach whose name literally means “from the river”.
Saints quarterback Brees called the late two-point try gutsy but not surprising.
Last season, the Oakland Raiders were a young and talented team that shined at times, but ultimately failed to improve enough to end their postseason drought. “I said, “When we score here, we are going to go for two and win it right here'”. “If you were looking closely at that fourth quarter, we were having trouble stopping anything, and I felt like, on the road, in a game like this, I probably would have done the exact same thing”.
“I thought it was good off my foot”, Lutz said. “The ball moved on me”.
Carr finished with 319 yards and one touchdown passing Jalen Richard ran 75 yards on his first National Football League carry for a touchdown and Amari Cooper caught Carr’s pass for a 2-point conversion to briefly tie the game at 27 in the middle of the fourth quarter.
Sean Smith had a bad day at the office Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
Unger was set to enter the 2016 regular season in the final year of his contract, but the Saints were interested in signing the 30-year-old center to an extension.

New Orleans almost held on, but Saints linebacker Craig Robertson was flagged for interference on a fourth-down pass that sailed out of bounds.
