Lions 31, Giants 18 – Williams leads Lions to 3rd  straight win, 31-18 over Giants

  Jamaal  Williams ran for a career-high three touchdowns and the Detroit Lions stunned  the New York Giants 31-18. The Lions posted consecutive roads wins and their  first three-game winning streak since November 2017. Williams scored on runs of  4, 1 and 1 yards and the Lions’ much-maligned run defense shut down NFL leading  rusher Saquon Barkley and forced three turnovers on a cold, blustery afternoon  at MetLife Stadium. Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, the No. 2 overall pick in  the draft, intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble to help set up 14 points.

Falcons 27, Bears 24 – Koo’s late 53-yard FG lifts  Falcons past Fields, Bears 27-24 

  Younghoe  Koo’s 53-yard field goal gave Atlanta the lead with less than two minutes to  play and the Falcons overcame another big game from Chicago’s Justin Fields to  beat the Bears 27-24. Fields ran for 85 yards with a touchdown, but the Bears  suffered their fourth consecutive loss. Chicago has lost six of seven. The  Falcons ran out the clock. Marcus Mariota ran and threw for touchdowns for  Atlanta, which pulled within one-half game of NFC South-leading Tampa Bay on  the Buccaneers’ bye week. Atlanta running back Cordarrelle Patterson set the  NFL record with his ninth career kickoff return for a touchdown.

Eagles 17, Colts 16 – Jalen Hurts’ late TD run gives  Eagles 17-16 win over Colts 

  Jalen  Hurts ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 1:20 remaining, and the Philadelphia  Eagles rallied past the Indianapolis Colts 17-16. Coming off their first loss  of the season, the Eagles trailed 13-3 in the fourth quarter. Hurts threw for a  touchdown early in the period to get Philly within three. The third-year  quarterback was 18 of 25 with 190 yards through the air and rushed 16 times for  86 yards as the Eagles won their seventh straight road game. Indianapolis never  trailed until Hurts’ scoring run. Interim coach Jeff Saturday evened his record  at 1-1 since taking over for the fired Frank Reich.

Ecuador  2, Qatar 0 – World Cup dismay for Qatar as Ecuador wins opening game

  Qatar’s  first ever World Cup match ended in dismay for an overmatched team and with a  place in unwanted soccer history. The controversy-laced tournament opened with  Qatar getting outplayed in a 2-0 loss to Ecuador in front of 67,372 fans at Al  Bayt Stadium. A host team had never lost its opening game in 92 years of  soccer’s biggest event. The first World Cup in the Middle East is a chance for  Qatar to showcase itself to the wider world but its soccer team couldn’t live  up to the moment. Ecuador captain Enner Valencia scored both of his team’s  goals in the first half.

FIFA  – US returns to World Cup against Wales after 8-year wait

  Gio  Reyna, Joe Scally and Yusuf Musah were 11 years old the last time the United  States took the field in a World Cup match. On the 3,066th day after that loss  in Brazil, the Americans return to soccer’s showcase with a new-look team  dreaming lofty goals. Filled with novelty, nerves and naivety, the U.S. takes  the field against Wales on Monday night. A Friday match against England follows  and group play ends Nov. 29 against Iran.

FIFA  – Biden urges US World Cup team to `let’s go shock ’em all’

  President  Joe Biden telephoned the American World Cup team ahead of their opening match  against Wales. He said “let’s go shock ’em all.” Biden called the team at about  11:30 p.m. Friday. Biden told the players “I know you’re the underdog.” The  United States is back in the World Cup after missing the 2018 tournament. The  teams opens against Wales on Monday, then meets England on Friday and closes  group play against Iran on Nov. 29.

FIFA  – McKennie readies for World Cup with red, white & blue hair

  Weston  McKennie got into the patriotic spirit, dying his hair red, white and blue  ahead of the United States’ World Cup opener against Wales. The 24-year-old  midfielder from Fort Lewis, Washington, showed up with the new colors for the  last training session before Monday’s match. McKennie, who plays for Juventus  in Italy, previously had a streak of blond in his hair. The Americans open the  World Cup on Monday night after failing to reach the 2018 tournament.

FIFA  – Qatar riot police push back crowds at World Cup fan zone

  The  fan zone set up in central Doha has turned into a chaotic scene on the opening  day of the World Cup as tens of thousands of fans are pushing and shoving  against police lines to enter the venue. Fans were trying to enter the enclosed  area that contains a big-screen television for viewing matches, places to buy  beer, and little else. Riot police armed with batons and shields stood guard at  the entrance. Some fans pleaded with officers to let them through the line.  Only a trickle of pregnant women and handicapped fans were allowed to enter the  fan zone through a special priority entrance shortly after the opening match  between Qatar and Ecuador kicked off in another Qatari city, Al Khor.

FIFA – World Cup  Viewer’s Guide: Qatar loses opener, US up on Day 2

  The first World Cup in  the Middle East finally began Sunday night with a flashy opening ceremony and a  loss by host Qatar against Ecuador. Two of the best players in the world were  ruled out of the tournament with injuries before it even began. France striker  Karim Benzema is out after hurting his left thigh and Senegal forward Sadio  Mane has a leg injury. Monday’s matches consist of the United States against  Wales, England versus Iran and the Netherlands facing Senegal. Eight of the 13  team captains of European nations have planned to wear “One Love” armbands  promoting inclusivity but they could face penalties for breaking rules  regarding FIFA-issued uniforms.AP Football Top 25
