NFL – National Football League – Week 8

Yesterday

Philadelphia Eagles 44, Detroit Lions 6

San Francisco Giants 33, Chicago Bears 22

Tennessee Titans 34, Indianapolis Colts 31 – OT

Eagles 44, Lions 6 – Eagles run for 4 TDs in 44-6 victory over winless Lions

Boston Scott and Jordan Howard each had two touchdowns on the ground, helping the Philadelphia Eagles run over the Detroit Lions in a 44-6 win Sunday. The Eagles ended a two-game losing streak against a team that was very accommodating. The Lions go into their bye week as the NFL’s only winless team. The break gives first-year coach Dan Campbell extra time to figure out how to avoid leading the league’s first 0-17 team after being a tight end on the first 0-16 team in Detroit 13 years ago.

Giants 33, Bears 22 – Garoppolo leads way as 49ers beat Bears 33-22 to stop slide

Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 322 yards and ran for two touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the short-handed Chicago Bears 33-22 to snap a four-game losing streak. Garoppolo led three touchdown drives in the second half and another possession that ended with a field goal. He scored from the 2 in the third quarter and ran it in from the 5 in the fourth to make it 30-22. Deebo Samuel had six catches for 171 yards. Elijah Mitchell carried 18 times for 137 yards and a touchdown, helping San Francisco win for the first time since beating both Detroit and Philadelphia on the road to start the season. Chicago lost its third straight.

Titans 34, Colts 31 – Titans use late turnovers to pull off 34-31 OT win at Indy

Randy Bullock made a 44-yard field goal in overtime to cap a wild finish in the Titans’ 34-31 win at Indianapolis. The teams combined for two touchdowns in the final 86 seconds of regulation, setting up overtime before Carson Wentz threw a costly interception. Ryan Tannehill was 23 of 33 for 265 yards and three touchdowns as the 6-2 Titans overcame a quiet day from NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry, who was held to 68 yards on 28 carries.

NFL – Dan Campbell takes blame for another ugly Lions loss

For eight weeks, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell has been consistent about one thing. When his team loses - and that’s all it has done - he’s going to take the blame. As usual, Campbell’s players strongly disagreed. As usual, the problem was the inability to get the ball down the field. Tight end T.J. Hockenson finished with 10 catches for 89 yards, but Amon-Ra St. Brown was the only wide receiver to catch a pass. He had two receptions for 12 yards in the first half, then added a 34-yard reception in garbage time.

NFL – Bears struggle with Mack sidelined, Nagy missing game

The Chicago Bears missed coach Matt Nagy and his energy on the sidelines. But the defense seemed to be missing players like Khalil Mack and Eddie Jackson even more in a 33-22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers scored on seven straight possessions and made it two straight games for the Bears defense giving up more than 30 points.  Even Justin Fields' all-around effort couldn't prevent the Bears from losing their third straight, though he became the first Chicago quarterback since Bobby Douglass in 1973 to rush for 100 yards.
