Last Night

  Detroit  Lions 15, Green Bay Packers 9

  Miami  Dolphins 35, Chicago Bears 32

New  England Patriots 26, Indianapolis Colts 3

Lions 15, Packers 9 – Rodgers throws 3 INTs, Lions  hold on to beat Packers 15-9 

Aaron  Rodgers matched a career high with three interceptions and threw an incomplete  pass on fourth down from the Detroit 17 in the final minute, letting the  Detroit Lions hold on for a 15-9 win over the Packers in a matchup of slumping  teams on Sunday. The Lions ended a five-game losing streak. The Packers have  lost five straight for the first time since 2008 when their four-time NFL MVP was  a first-year starter with the franchise.

Dolphins 35, Bears 32 – Tua, Dolphins outlast Bears on  Fields’ record rushing day 

  Tua  Tagovailoa threw for three touchdowns, Tyreek Hill had 143 yards receiving and  the Miami Dolphins overcame a record-setting rushing effort by Justin Fields to  beat the Chicago Bears 35-32. In a game where neither team did much to stop the  other, the Dolphins had no trouble moving the ball against a gutted defense and  made enough plays to come away with their third straight win. Fields ran for  178 yards, the most by an NFL quarterback in a regular-season game. He had a  61-yard touchdown run and threw for three scores. But it wasn’t enough for the  Bears, who lost for the fifth time in six games.

Patriots 26, Colts 3 – Pats get 9 sacks in dominant  26-3 victory over Colts 

  Mac  Jones had a touchdown pass, Nick Folk added four field goals and the Patriots  finished with nine sacks to help New England beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-3.  The win moves the Patriots (5-4) above .500 for the first time this season as  they head into their bye week. Linebackers Matt Judon and Josh Uche each had  three sacks, leading a defense that held Indianapolis to 121 yards and 0-for-14  on third down. Jones was 20 of 30 for 147 yards. The Colts have lost three  straight and have yet to earn a win since benching QB Matt Ryan in favor of  second-year player Sam Ehlinger.

NASCAR – Joey Logano wins at Phoenix to earn 2nd  NASCAR championship

  Joey Logano won his second NASCAR championship to give  Roger Penske two titles in the same season with a victory in Sunday’s  winner-take-all finale at Phoenix Raceway. It was the fourth win of the season  for Logano. Will Power added the IndyCar championship to the Team Penske trophy  case in September and Logano’s dominating run Sunday marked the first time  Penske has won both the NASCAR and IndyCar championship in the same season. It  is the third Cup championship for Penske, who won with Brad Keselowski in 2012  and Logano’s first title in 2018. Logano joined Kyle Busch as the only active  drivers with multiple Cup titles.

NASCAR  – JGR co-owner Coy Gibbs, 49, dies hours after son wins title

  Coy  Gibbs, the vice chairman at Joe Gibbs Racing for his NFL and NASCAR Hall of  Fame father, died Sunday morning. He was 49. His death came just hour after his  son Ty won the Xfinity Series championship. JGR says in a statement that Gibbs  died in his sleep. Joe Gibbs has now lost both of his sons in the last three  years. J.D. Gibbs died in 2019 of degenerative neurological disease and also  was 49. Coy Gibbs succeeded his older brother as vice chairman of the  family-run NASCAR organization.

Golf  – PGA – Henley coasts to 4-shot PGA Tour victory in Mayakoba

  Russell  Henley is the winner of the World Wide Technology Championship at Mayakoba.  That was to be expected because Henley had a six-shot lead going into the final  round. He shot 70 to win by four. Henley was never under any stress. He did  make his first bogey of the tournament on the fifth hole. His lead was down to  three. And then he birdied the next three holes. Brian Harman shot 66 to finish  second. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler had a 62 and that gave him a tie for  third. Henley won for the first time in five years.

Golf  – Champions – Langer wins 44th on Champions to get within one of record

  Bernhard  Langer keeps breaking is own record as the oldest PGA Tour Champions winner.  The 65-year-old German won the TimberTech Championship for his second win this  year, and the 44th of his career. That leaves Langer one win away from tying  the Champions record held by Hale Irwin. Langer shot a 66 in the final round to  win by six shots over Paul Goydos and Thongchai Jaidee. The season ends next  week with the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Steven Alker leads. Padraig  Harrington is the only player with a remote chance of catching him for the $1  million prize.
