6, 2015, when he caught a 36-yarder from Danny
Amendola against Philadelphia. At 41, Brady became the oldest
player with a catch since Jerry Rice had 30 at the age of 42. Brady appeared in

(326) as the only quarterbacks in league history to appear in 300 games. ...

11-0-1 in his past 12 home games (including the postseason). Rodgers has 30
passing TDs and just three interceptions during that streak. ... The
first-place Bears beat the Lions 34-22 to snap a 10-game losing streak against

struggling Oakland
Raiders. The Raiders have lost five straight by at least 14 points

TOOTHLESS TIGERS
The Cincinnati Bengals were dominated in a 51-14 loss to
the New Orleans
Saints. The Bengals matched the most lopsided defeat in franchise
history and gave up the second-most points in club history.
Cincinnati became the first team in the Super Bowl era to
give up 500 yards in three consecutive games; New Orleans finished with 509.
In their past four games, the Bengals have given up 481,
551, 576 and 509 yards. They're on pace to give up the most yards in NFL
history.
It's the fourth time the Bengals have lost a game by 37
points in their history. The club record for points allowed was 52 against
Carolina in 2002. The 28 points allowed in the second quarter matched the club
record.
BIG GIFT
Rams left tackle Andrew
Whitworth is donating his game check to the Ventura County
Community Foundation's Conejo Valley Victims Fund, which was set up to help the
families of the 12 people killed Wednesday night by a gunman in Thousand Oaks,
the home of the Rams' training complex. The Rams held a moment of silence
before the game.
AUTOMATIC ADAM
The Colts honored the NFL's new career scoring leader, Adam
Vinatieri, before the game with a brief highlight film and the
distinction of being the last starter introduced to the crowd, which roared.
Vinatieri responded by waving to the crowd and slapping hands with some fans on
the field. Then he added three more points to his record-breaking total (2,553)
before missing a 52-yard attempt wide right with 2:58 left in the game.
He also tied George Blanda for the most regular-season wins
in league history (209).
SIDELINED
Wide receiver Julian
Edelman left the Patriots' 34-10 loss to the Tennessee
Titans with an ankle injury and did not return on a rough day
for the New England offense. Left tackle Brown was hurt twice during the
game, leaving for good when he injured his back in the third quarter. Tight
end Dwayne Allen also
hurt a knee in the third quarter. ... Rams receiver Cooper Kupp
went down in the fourth quarter of Los Angeles' win over Seattle clutching his
left knee, which sidelined him earlier this season. He eventually walked off
the field. ... The Packers' defense lost two starters in Green Bay's win over
Miami when safety Kentrell
Brice hurt an ankle and linebacker Nick Perry limped
off with a knee injury. ... For the Dolphins, running back Kenyan Drake left
with a knee injury, and two wide receivers were hurt: Davante Parker (shoulder)
and Jakeem Grant (leg).
