EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jordan Love returned from a shoulder injury to throw two touchdown passes, backup Malik Willis had one of his own while filling in and the Green Bay Packers ended their losing streak at two by defeating the New York Giants 27-20. Love provided some heroics on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, connecting with rookie Savion Williams on a 32-yard gain under pressure on third-and-10 and finding Christian Watson in the end zone with 4:02 left to take the lead. Josh Jacobs left with a knee injury. The Giants lost their fifth in a row to fall to 2-9.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard kickoff return in the final minute for Chicago set up Cairo Santos for his fourth field goal of the game, a 48-yarder as time expired, to push the Bears past Minnesota 19-17 after the Vikings scored the go-ahead touchdown with 50 seconds left. After J.J. McCarthy ended another erratic performance with five straight completions culminating in a 15-yard scoring strike to Jordan Addison, Duvernay delivered. The Bears improved to 7-3 under new coach Ben Johnson after blowing a 13-point lead they took into the fourth quarter. The Vikings fell to 4-6 after two more interceptions by McCarthy.

(AP) — Fernando Mendoza completed 91.7% of his passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns as No. 2 Indiana took another step toward clinching a spot in its first Big Ten title game and likely a second straight playoff berth with a 31-7 victory over Wisconsin. Mendoza threw his school-record-breaking 30th TD of the season on a 5-yarder to Omar Cooper Jr. He continued to make his Heisman Trophy case by going 22 of 24 despite being sacked five times. The Hoosiers are undefeated through 11 games the first time in school history and have tied last season’s record-setting victory total.

ST. PAUL, Minn.

With Shea Theodore off for hooking Matt Boldy near center ice on a call that angered Vegas coach Bruce Cassidy, Kaprizov took a feed from Mats Zuccarello and beat Carl Lindbom between the pads for his 11th goal of the season. Joel Eriksson Ek and Yakov Trenin also scored and Filip Gustavsson made 23 saves to help Minnesota win for the fourth time in five games. Pavel Dorofeyev and Reilly Smith had power-play goals for Vegas, with Smith tying it at 2 at 6:35 of the third.
