BALTIMORE (AP) — Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery ran for two touchdowns apiece, and the Detroit Lions bullied their way to a 38-30 win over the Baltimore Ravens. The Lions sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and outrushed the Ravens 224 yards to 85. Detroit scored on drives of 98 and 96 yards against a Baltimore front that was without defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike and showed little ability to handle the Lions physically up front. Up 31-24 at the two-minute warning, Detroit converted on fourth-and-2 from their own 49 when Jared Goff completed a 21-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Then Montgomery raced for a 31-yard touchdown with 1:42 to play, capping a 151-yard night for the running back.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco star defensive end Nick Bosa tore the ACL in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season. Bosa hurt his knee in the first half of a win over Arizona on Sunday and didn’t return to the game. Bosa gave a thumbs-down after the injury but initial tests did not show a torn ACL. Coach Kyle Shanahan said after the game that more tests would be needed to determine the severity of the injury and the results Monday showed that Bosa had torn his ACL and his season was done.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Atlantic Coast Conference is moving to a nine-game league schedule for football while having teams play at least 10 games against power-conference opponents, though there will be variables due to the league’s odd number of football-playing member schools. Going from an eight- to a nine-game model would align the ACC with its power-conference peers in the Big 12, Big Ten and Southeastern conferences. The ACC would join the SEC in playing 10 games against Power Four opponents. The SEC announced its plans for a nine-game schedule last month.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers threw a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III with 2:16 left, and the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the New England Patriots 21-14. Rodgers passed for 139 yards and two touchdowns, Kenneth Gainwell ran for a 1-yard TD and the Steelers’ defense forced five turnovers to help Pittsburgh win at New England for the first time since 2008. The Steelers had lost four since then in Foxborough, including the AFC championship game in the 2016 season. The Patriots were driving with a chance to tie and had fourth-and-1 at the Pittsburgh 28, but DeMario Douglas caught a pass from Drake Maye and was stopped for a 1-yard loss.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bernie Parent, the Hall of Fame goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers, has died at 80. The Flyers made the announcement Sunday but provided no details.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Rookie Bubba Chandler and two relievers combined on a one-hitter, and Nick Yorke and Bryan Reynolds hit home runs as the Pittsburgh Pirates downed the Athletics 2-0 on Saturday night to end a five-game losing streak. Chandler allowed only Jacob Wilson’s two-out double in the second inning while striking out six and walking none. He has given up one run in 11 innings in his last two starts since getting rocked for nine runs in 2 2/3 innings by Milwaukee on Sept. 7. Braxton Ashcraft followed with three perfect innings and six strikeouts. Dennis Santana worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th save and first since Sept. 3. (Photo: AP)

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh general manager Ben Cherington expects to return in 2026 despite the Pirates having losing seasons during each of his six years on the job. Cherington said Saturday that Pirates owner Bob Nutting and team president Travis Williams have not given any indication that he might be fired. The Pirates have never revealed Cherington’s contract status, but it is believed he is signed through 2026 or 2027. The Pirates were 65-89 going into Saturday night’s game and assured of a second straight last-place finish in the National League Central. The Pirates have had 29 losing seasons in the last 33 years.
