COLOMBO-- West Indies ended their dismal tour of Sri Lanka with a consolation victory after Dwayne Bravo's all-round brilliance secured a series-levelling 23-run win in the second and final Twenty20 International on Wednesday.
  Blanked in the preceding test and one-day series and beaten in the first Twenty20 International on Monday, West Indies posted 162-6 before bowling out the hosts for 139 to salvage a bit of pride.
  Bravo blasted a run-a-ball 31 before returning to claim four wickets at the R Premadasa Stadium.
  For Sri Lanka, Tillakaratne Dilshan top-scored with a breezy 52, and Shehan Jayasuriya made 30 before Ravi Rampaul (3-20) and Bravo wrecked their middle and lower order.
  Opting to bat first, West Indies made a quiet start, managing 17 runs off the first four overs before plundering 44 of the next two.
  Johnson Charles (34) clobbered off-spinner Sachithra Senanayake for three consecutive sixes and followed up with a boundary off the final ball of the over.
  His opening partner Andre Fletcher (23) hit Dushmantha Chameera for three boundaries in the next over before Milinda Siriwardana trapped him lbw.
  Marlon Samuels paid the price for his lax running in the same over as West Indies lost four quick wickets to lose momentum.
  Bravo chipped in with a quickfire cameo and Denesh Ramdin remained not out on 34 to take the visitors past the 150-mark.
  Sri Lanka skipper Lasith Malinga produced excellent death bowling again, claiming two wickets for 16 runs in four tidy overs.

Trailing by nine points after three quarters, the Chicago Bears rallied to beat San Diego 22-19 on Monday, handing the Chargers (2-7) a fifth consecutive loss.

Chicago (3-5) quarterback Jay Cutler hit tight end Zach Miller for a 25-yard touchdown with 3:19 left, and running back Jeremy Langford rushed over for the two-point conversion to open up the three-point cushion, the Bears' first lead of the night.

The Chargers' skid is their longest since they dropped six in a row in 2011.

Culter completed 27 of 40 passes for 345 yards and two touchdowns. He also lost a fumble and was intercepted once. Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery caught 10 passes for 151 yards.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers was 26-for-42 passes for 280 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. It was the first time he did not throw for at least 300 yards in six games.

San Diego running back Danny Woodhead produced 111 total yards and a touchdown.

Kicker Josh Lambo's second field goal, this one from 22 yards, increased the Chargers' lead to 19-14 with eight minutes to play. Before Lambo's kick, San Diego had a touchdown pass from Rivers to tight end Antonio Gates wiped away when right guard D.J. Fluker was flagged for being downfield.

The Bears pulled within 16-14 with 14 minutes remaining on Langford's one-yard touchdown run. It capped a 93-yard, 15-play drive in which Chicago converted four third downs, the final one on rookie Langford's score.

Lambo's 31-yard field goal in the half's waning seconds pushed the Chargers' advantage to 16-7.

The Bears sliced their deficit to 13-7 when Cutler clicked with tight end Martellus Bennett on a 1-yard pass midway through the second quarter.

Earlier in the quarter, Chicago cornerback Tracy Porter stripped wide receiver Dontrelle Inman of the ball, and it was recovered by linebacker Christian Jones, with the Bears taking over at the San Diego 41-yard line.

Two plays later, though, cornerback Jason Verrett went 68 yards for a pick-six and a 13-0 Chargers advantage. Lambo missed the point after. It was Verrett's first touchdown and second interception of his career off Cutler's second turnover of the first half.

The Bears appeared poised to score late in the first quarter, when they advanced to the Chargers' 10-yard line. However, Chicago retreated 5 yards on an offside penalty, then linebacker Melvin Ingram sacked Cutler and forced a fumble, which was recovered by safety Eric Weddle. The Chargers weren't able to convert the turnover into points.

The Chargers struck first after Gould was wide left on a 47-yard field goal attempt to end the game's first possession. Gould also missed from 34 yards in the third quarter.

Rivers found Woodhead for a 14-yard scoring pass and a 7-0 lead. Woodhead ran a wheel route from the left side of the formation and was wide open for the score as the Bears bungled their zone coverage.

GREEN BAY- - It's easy for the Carolina Panthers to focus on the results these days after another key victory with a dicey ending.
  "It felt great how we played because we stopped them at the end," defensive end Kony Ealy said. "But we have to learn how to put our foot down on their throats."
  Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes and ran for another as the unbeaten Panthers (8-0) held off the Green Bay Packers 37-29.
  This one was not secured until linebacker Thomas Davis made an interception on a fourth-down play near the goal line after the Packers (6-2) threatened to wipe out a 23-point deficit in the last eight minutes.
  Davis intercepted Aaron Rodgers' fourth-and-goal pass from the 4-yard line after the two-minute warning. Wide receiver Randall Cobb was open, but Rodgers missed him under heavy duress from defensive tackle Kawann Short. Rodgers had four touchdown passes and was sacked five times.
  "I just made the catch, but it was fourth down anyway," Davis said. "I cannot stress enough how much (Short) meant going in there and making it happen."
  The Panthers continued the best start in franchise history with their second victory in less than a week after recovering in overtime to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night.
  "We let another team come back on us," Davis said. "That was because of Aaron Rodgers."
  Green Bay lost consecutive games for the first time since November 2013 to fall into a first-place NFC North tie with the Vikings (6-2).
  "It's going to hurt a little bit, obviously," Packers wide receiver Davante Adams said. "That's not the type of game that we are capable of playing, but we just have to look past it at this point."
  Newton, who completed 15 of 30 passes for 297 yards with one interception, turned in several clutch plays, particularly in the first three quarters.
  "He can scramble around and up in the pocket and he can produce a lot of plays," Packers cornerback Demarious Randall said.
  Randall intercepted Newton with 3:38 remaining, putting the Packers at the Carolina 22 and trialing by eight.
  But Green Bay could not convert on fourth-and-goal when Rodgers threw the ball up in desperation.
  "You feel pretty good with our defense on the field," Carolina tight end Greg Olsen said. "They did enough."
  Rodgers ended up 25 of 48 for 369 yards.
