  Jamaal  Williams ran for his 14th touchdown to help the Detroit Lions get off to a  strong start and they didn’t slow down in a 40-14 rout of the Jacksonville  Jaguars on Sunday. The Lions scored on all five of their drives in the first  half to take a 17-point lead, and their first three possessions of the second  half to pull away. The Jaguars had a scare on the last play of the second  quarter when quarterback Trevor Lawrence was sacked and grabbed his left knee,  but their defense made his return moot.

Packers 28, Bears 19 – Rodgers, Packers rally in 4th  quarter to beat Bears 28-19

  Aaron  Rodgers led three fourth-quarter scoring drives and the Green Bay Packers  rallied to beat the Chicago Bears 28-19. Packers receiver Christian Watson ran  for a 46-yard touchdown in the closing minutes after Jaire Alexander  intercepted Justin Fields. Green Bay trailed 19-10 after three quarters but  made enough plays down the stretch to come away with its eighth straight win  over the Bears. Rodgers improved to 25-5 against the Bears, including playoffs.  Chicago has lost six straight. Fields ran for a 55-yard touchdown in the second  quarter and finished with 71 yards on six attempts. He was 20 of 25 passing for  254 yards but threw two interceptions.

Cowboys 54, Colts 19 – Cowboys score 33 points in 4th  quarter, rout Colts 54-19

  Malik  Hooker returned a fumble 38 yards for a touchdown against his former team in a  33-point fourth quarter for Dallas, propelling the Cowboys to a 54-19 rout of  the Indianapolis Colts. Dallas led 21-19 entering the fourth when Dak Prescott  threw the last of his three touchdown passes. Hooker’s scoop-and-score was the  first of four fourth-quarter takeaways by Dallas, all of which led to  touchdowns. The Cowboys had their highest-scoring quarter since at least 1991.  It was just the third time in NFL history a team scored as many as 33 points in  the fourth. Matt Ryan threw three interceptions and lost a fumble for the  Colts.

Coach Tite had said earlier in the day that Neymar would play if all  went well in the team’s final training session before the match against South  Korea. Tite said he plans to use Neymar from the start instead of as a  substitute.

FIFA  – American soccer success in men’s World Cup remains a dream

  American  men’s soccer success on the world stage remains a dream. The U.S. men’s team  looked better in this year’s World Cup, but the results were the same as in  2010 and 2014 _ elimination in the round of 16 following a 3-1 defeat to the  Netherlands. Draws against Wales and England were followed by a 1-0 win over  Iran that assured a spot in the knockout rounds, and the U.S. achieved the  minimum to avoid being branded a failure. Going home after the group stage  would have been a disappointment given the expectations for the team coach  Gregg Berhalter rebuilt.

Tite said he plans to use Neymar from the start instead of as a substitute.
FIFA – American soccer success in men&#8217;s World Cup remains a dream 
 American men&#8217;s soccer success on the world stage remains a dream. The U.S. men&#8217;s team looked better in this year&rsquo;s World Cup, but the results were the same as in 2010 and 2014 _ elimination in the round of 16 following a 3-1 defeat to the Netherlands. Draws against Wales and England were followed by a 1-0 win over Iran that assured a spot in the knockout rounds, and the U.S. achieved the minimum to avoid being branded a failure. Going home after the group stage would have been a disappointment given the expectations for the team coach Gregg Berhalter rebuilt.1Georgia (62)13-02Michigan (1)13-03TCU12-14Ohio State11-15Alabama10-26Tennessee10-27Utah10-38USC11-29Penn State10-210Clemson11-211Kansas State10-312Washington10-213Florida State9-314Tulane11-215Oregon9-316LSU9-417Oregon State9-318UCLA9-319Notre Dame8-420South Carolina8-421Texas8-422UTSA11-223Troy11-224Mississippi State8-425NC State8-4
