The Lions got revenge for the 2012 game that got Matt Flynn PAID, rolling the Packers 40-10. The 435-yard differential between the two teams was the the 7th-most lopsided since the AFL/NFL merger. If any one play were a microcosm of the game, it was Ndamukong Suh's target="_blank">busting through a double team to sack Flynn for a safety ... DeMarco Murray ran for three touchdowns as the Cowboys came from behind to beat the Raiders 31-24. Rashad Jennings stiff-armed a Dallas defender, and then ran over a cameraman. Matt McGloin may not have been heroic, but he did engineer a late-game field goal drive to secure the beloved backdoor cover ... Emmanuel Sanders dropped what would have been a game-tying two-point conversion with a little over a minute to go as the Ravens beat the Steelers 22-20. Earlier in the game, Sanders mimicked the Ray Lewis dance and Mike Tomlin may have impeded a possible Jacoby Jones TD.
