By DAN GELSTON PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Dallas Goedert fired one stiff arm to a Packers defender, smacked him again and then — in a sports city known for its Broad Street Bullies — dispatched one final shot to the face on his way to end zone. Goedert refused to be stopped — and neither were the Philadelphia Eagles in game in which they welcomed back Jalen Hurts and had the book on Green Bay. Hurts tossed two touchdown passes in his first game since a late-season concussion, Goedert threw those three stiff-arms on a rugged TD catch and the Eagles rode their NFL-best defense to a 22-10 wild-card playoff win Sunday night. Hurts threw for a modest 131 yards, but played with no hesitation in his return from a three-week layoff after a concussion in December.

ORCHARD PARK, N. Y. — Sean Payton knew the Bills would emphasize running the football ahead of Sunday’s wild-card playoff matchup.

DALLAS — The Nuggets dug themselves a 17-point hole, rallied to take the lead, then decided one comeback wasn’t enough. So they fell behind again by 19 late in the third quarter, just to storm back at expedited pace for a 112-101 win over the Mavericks on Sunday at American Airlines Center. Jamal Murray bounced back from a terrible start in on-brand fashion, scoring 12 of his 17 points in the last 15 minutes of game time.
