DETROIT - Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions are taking advantage of the softer portion of their schedule.Stafford threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns — including one off a fluky deflection late in the game — and the Detroit Lions kept the pressure on in the NFC North race with a 34-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.The Lions (9-4) trail first-place Green Bay by a half-game, with the Packers hosting Atlanta on Monday night. Detroit has won two in a row by the same 34-17 score.The Lions beat Chicago on Thanksgiving, and they end this three-game home stretch next weekend against Minnesota.Tampa Bay (2-11) was finally eliminated from playoff contention — the NFC Souths mediocrity could only keep the Bucs in it for so long. They turned the ball over three times in the second quarter against Detroit and never led.Calvin Johnson had eight catches for 158 yards and a touchdown for Detroit, which snapped a nine-game losing streak in December.Mike Evans caught two touchdown passes for the Bucs, but quarterback Josh McCown was under pressure all day, and Tampa Bay managed only 26 yards rushing against Detroits stout defensive front.Stafford went 26 of 34 without an interception, and he and Johnson seem to be clicking again at the right time. The Detroit quarterback was also a bit fortunate on his fourth-quarter scoring pass to Joique Bell.Stafford had a pass bounce off someone at the line of scrimmage — Tampa Bays Gerald McCoy was in the area — and it bounced back toward Bell, who alertly grabbed it out of midair and ran into the end zone for the games final score.Detroit opened the scoring on Staffords 6-yard touchdown pass to Johnson, and Patrick Murray answered with a 54-yard field goal for the Bucs.The Bucs first turnover came when McCowns pass deflected off Evans and was picked off by a sliding Glover Quin, who reached out with his left hand to secure the ball at the Tampa Bay 34. Bells 1-yard scoring run made it 14-3.A fumble on a snap gave the Lions the ball at the Tampa Bay 32 moments later, and Detroit managed a field goal off that turnover.Late in the half, the Bucs caught a break after McCowns pass was intercepted in the end zone by James Ihedigbo. The Detroit safety tried to run the ball out, but he ended up fumbling it back to Tampa Bay.The Bucs took over at the Detroit 10 and scored a touchdown with 5 seconds left on McCowns 5-yard pass to Evans.Stafford threw a 53-yard pass to Johnson to set up a third-quarter field goal, and his 10-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Fauria made it 27-10.Evans caught a 26-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth, using one arm to secure the ball in the back of the end zone.Bell broke free for a 57-yard run in the final minutes. That helped set up his 5-yard touchdown catch off the bizarre deflection.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFLAntonio Valencia Authentic Jersey .?

Weve asked former Manchester United, Chelsea and England midfielder, and Sky Sports Now guest, Ray Wilkins to grade each side based solely on their 90-minute performance on Saturday and Sunday.So how did your team fare? Did they get an A or an F, or somewhere in between? Read on to see how each top-flight side has been ranked... Premier League results Arsenal 1-0 Norwich Everton 2-1 Bmouth Man Utd 1-1 Leicester Newcastle 1-0 Palace Stoke 1-1 Sunderland Southampton 4-2 Man City Swansea 3-1 Liverpool Watford 3-2 Aston Villa West Brom 0-3 West Ham Southampton - A+Southampton were absolutely outstanding, and Citys poor display should take nothing away form how good Ronald Koemans men were. City have short-changed fans Manchester City have short-changed supporters this season, says Graeme Souness Newcastle - A Andros Townsend netted a stunning winner against Crystal Palace Newcastle simply had to win this game. When it comes to the end of the season its all about getting results and they dealt with the pressure riding on the game remarkably well.Swansea - AThe Swans have done well under Francesco Guidolin and the victory quite rightly secured their safety in the Premier League for another season. Im delighted for them.Watford - A Troy Deeney won it for Watford with two late goals Watford did ever so well. Troy Deeney got himself in the goals again and he would have loved scoring two late goals against the Villa.West Ham - AThe Hammers have been a revelation this season and they deserve top marks for another assured display. Mark Noble proved his worth again with two well-taken goals. An all-round top performance from Slaven Bilics men.Arsenal - B Arsenals game with Norwich was subjected to a fan protest by disgruntled home supporters With protests taking place in the ground Arsenal managed to come through an awkward game with a victory. They got the job done.Aston Villa - BVilla came so close to getting the victory I wanted them to get but it wasnt to be. It was a gutsy performance that showed slight signs of improvement.Bournemouth - B Marc Pugh equalised for Bournemouth at Goodison Park Eddie Howes men have really played some wonderful football this season both at home and away, and that was the case at Goodison Park, they were just a touch unfortunate not to get something from the game.Crystal Palace - BPalace could have got back into the game at St James Park but were unfortunate to see Yohan Cabaye miss a penalty. It was a spirited display and theyve got to keep on performing in the same manner ahead of the FA Cup final.Everton - B Leiighton Baines celebrates scoring his teams winning goal against Bournemouth Losing eight games at home this season has been tough for Everton so they had to win this game.dddddddddddd. They got the job done against Bournemouth and they deserve credit for that.Leicester - B The Super Sunday panel felt Leicester were fortunate not to have a penalty awarded against them at Old Trafford It wasnt the most glamourous performance from Leicester but they took a step closer to the title with a point that heaps the pressure on Spurs.Norwich - B Norwich failed to convert their bright performance into goals Up to the penalty area Norwich were superb but, unfortunately, they cant score a goal. Nathan Redmond in particular had a couple of chances but they couldnt find a way through and it cost them.Stoke - BMarco Arnautovic put Stoke ahead, I had no problems with the goal as I didnt think Younes Kaboul had been fouled in the build-up. All in all it was a fair result. Defoe earned Sunderland a point with a late penalty at the Britannia Sunderland - BI always fancy Sunderland to get something because of Jermain Defoe and that proved to be the case at the Britannia. Defoe is first class, hes a goalscorer and what hes achieved this season has been phenomenal.Liverpool - CLiverpool made a lot of changes but youd still expect them to go and perform, especially when you consider Daniel Sturridge, Christian Benteke and Lucas featured.Man Utd - C Anthony Martial capped a bright start for United with the opener at Old Trafford United were fantastic in the first 25 minutes at Old Trafford but Leicester pegged them back and they struggled to replicate their bright start as the game wore on.West Brom - CWest Brom seem to be on a little bit of a holiday at the minute and they were comprehensively beaten at home, which will no doubt disappoint Tony Pulis.Man City - E Manchester City were comprehensively beaten at St Marys City were absolutely appalling, they were nowhere near good enough. They had 11 international players playing but they just didnt apply themselves properly.What do you think? Do you agree with the ratings?
