With QB Derek Carr ailing, Saints turn to Jameis Winston

NEW ORLEANS-- Saints quarterback Derek Carr has a rib injury to go along with his second concussion of the season, head coach Dennis Allen said Monday. Jameis Winston is now in line to start Sunday when the Saints (5-7) host the Carolina Panthers (1-11). Carr exited Sunday's 33-28 loss to the visiting Detroit Lions with multiple injuries and returned to concussion protocol after also coming away with a head injury in a Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings. Carr was injured Sunday when he took a hit to the abdomen from Lions pass-rusher Bruce Irvin. He stayed on the ground as team medical personnel examined him. A cart was pulled up but Carr eventually walked to the medical tent on his own power then later walked to the locker room. Carr completed 17 of 22 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception before exiting. Winston completed 2 of 5 passes for 41 yards and Taysom Hill threw two incompletions for the Saints. Winston made 70 starts in 72 games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over his first five NFL seasons, but in four seasons with the Saints, he has started 10 times in just 19 games of action. In five games this season, Winston has completed 53.2 percent of his passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns with three interceptions. In nine career seasons, he has completed 61.2 percent of his passes for 22,104 yards, 141 TDs and 99 interceptions.

Tua Tagovailoa completed 18 of 24 passes for 280 yards and a pair of touchdowns for Miami (9-3), which won its third straight game. De'Von Achane scored two rushing touchdowns and Raheem Mostert added one. Sam Howell completed 12 of 23 passes for 127 yards and an interception for Washington (4-9). Howell rushed for two touchdowns as the Commanders lost their fourth in a row. Miami raced to a 17-0 lead before the end of the first quarter. Hill started the scoring with a 78-yard touchdown reception on the Dolphins' opening drive. He got behind the secondary, caught a pass from Tagovailoa near midfield and outraced a pair of Commanders defenders to the end zone. A 49-yard field goal by Jason Sanders increased Miami's lead to 10-0. The Dolphins' defense capped off the fast start. Linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel picked off a screen pass by Howell and raced 33 yards for his first career pick-six. Washington got on the scoreboard on a 1-yard rushing touchdown by Howell early in the second quarter. That cut Miami's lead to 17-7. The Dolphins added two more touchdowns to carry a 31-7 lead into the half. Hill scored on another big play as he notched a 60-yard touchdown with 9:14 remaining. His speed again proved to be too much for the Commanders as he got behind the secondary. Mostert followed with a 1-yard rushing touchdown in the final minute of the half. On the opening drive of the third quarter, Miami increased its lead to 38-7. Achane scored on a 4-yard run to finish off a nine-play, 75-yard drive. Howell tallied his second rushing touchdown of the game with 4:31 left in the third quarter. He found Logan Thomas for a two-point conversion to trim the deficit to 38-15. Achane followed suit with his second rushing touchdown of the game with 1:57 remaining. His 2-yard run gave Miami 40-plus points for the third time this season.

Willian's penalty double earns Fulham 3-2 win over Wolves

  LONDON- - Willian's 94th-minute penalty, his second of the game, earned Fulham a dramatic 3-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Monday. Alex Iwobi gave Fulham the lead after seven minutes with a delicate finish, turning Antonee Robinson's cut-back through Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa's legs from close range. The visitors drew level on 22 minutes after brilliant play by Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who beat Robinson twice down the right before finding Matheus Cunha unmarked to nod home. Fulham regained the lead on 59 minutes through Willian's first penalty after a Nelson Semedo challenge on Tom Cairney was adjudged to be a foul. Hwang Hee-chan levelled the scores again from the spot on 75 minutes for his seventh league goal of the season. But Joao Gomes' clumsy challenge on substitute Harry Wilson was given as a penalty by VAR late on, with Willian sending Sa the wrong way and Craven Cottage into raptures. The win moved Fulham up to 14th in the standings on 15 points. Wolves remained 12th on the same number of points.
