ORCHARD PARK, N.
James Johnson
Jersey .Y. - The Buffalo Bills defence has a dynamic duo: Super Mario and
a newcomer named Rambo.Credit them for helping rattle Aaron Rodgers and the
Green Bay Packers.Bacarri Rambo came off the bench to replace injured backup
safety Duke Williams to intercept Rodgers on consecutive drives in the second
half. And veteran end Mario Williams put the finishing touches on a 21-13
victory Sunday by forcing Rodgers to fumble into the end zone for a safety with
1:51 left.Its a testament to what we do, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said,
assessing how a dominating defensive effort contributed to keeping the Bills
(8-6) in a jumbled playoff picture. Weve played against great quarterbacks, so
the only expectation that we had was to play well and win a football game.Marcus
Thigpen scored on a 75-yard punt return, while Dan Carpenter hit all four
field-goal attempts, including three in the second half.The Bills are assured
their first eight-win season since going 9-7 in 2004.A week after ending Peyton
Mannings consecutive game touchdown streak at 51 in a 24-17 loss at Denver, the
Bills came away with a victory by putting the clamps on one of the NFLs most
prolific offences.I wouldnt say statement win, safety Aaron Williams said. We
went up against a Hall of Famer last week, why couldnt we do it again this
week?The defence made up for a sputtering Kyle Orton-led offence, which was
limited to 253 yards and 13 first downs. Orton finished 14 of 27 for 158 yards
and an interception.In the process, Buffalo put a halt to the Packers five-game
winning streak, and prevented Green Bay (10-4) from inching closer to securing a
sixth consecutive playoff berth.It was frustrating, said Rodgers. Some days are
going to be like this. We set the standard pretty high, and we like to live up
to it every week.Rodgers went 17 of 42 for 185 yards, with two interceptions. He
had been picked off just three times this season, and none since throwing two in
Green Bays last loss, 44-23 at New Orleans on Oct. 26.It wasnt all on Rodgers,
either, as he had little support from his receivers. That includes the usually
reliable Jordy Nelson, who had a key drop late in the third quarter.From his 6,
Rodgers found Nelson wide open running up the right side. The pass hit Nelson in
stride, but the ball glanced off the receivers fingers.We had exactly what we
wanted. We just didnt make the play, Nelson said. I short-armed it and dropped
it.The Packers were limited to Eddie Lacys 1-yard touchdown run and two field
goals by Mason Crosby.This from a team coming off a 43-37 win over Atlanta and
that had outscored its past five opponents by 201-113. Rodgers combined for
1,580 yards passing with 16 touchdowns and no turnovers in his previous five
games.It all came to a halt against a defence ranked among the NFLs top 10 in
nearly every measurable category.Rambo set the tone upon taking over after
backup Duke Williams was escorted off the field experiencing concussion-like
symptoms early in the third quarter. The Bills were already down starting safety
DaNorris Searcy (hamstring).Rambos first interception came on the Packers second
play from scrimmage after Dan Carpenter hit a 35-yard field goal to put Buffalo
ahead 16-10.Rambo sprinted 10 yards from midfield to make a sliding interception
of Rodgers pass intended for Randall Cobb at the Green Bay 45. His second came
on the Packers next drive when Rodgers passed for Jarrett Boykin over the
middle. It tipped off the receivers hands and to Rambo. That set up Carpenter
hitting a 48-yard field goal.Its a huge, huge confidence boost, said Rambo,
released in September after playing 13 games for Washington over the past two
seasons. Its going to allow me to play even faster and build confidence in
myself that, hey, I can do this. I belong in this league.The Packers werent done
until their first play on their final possession.From his 10, Rodgers dropped
back and had the ball knocked out of his hand by Mario Williams, who burst in
from the left side and outmuscled backup lineman JC Tretter.The play was
whistled dead once Lacy recovered the fumble, because only Rodgers was allowed
to advance the ball with under 2:00 remaining.NOTES: The Packers fell to 0-6 at
Orchard Park. ... The Bills went 4-0 against the AFC North. ... Mario Williams
also contributed a special teams play, by blocking Crosbys 53-yard field-goal
attempt with 6:01 left in the second quarter.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org

Bruins in scoring.MANCHESTER, England -- Liverpool underlined its new-found
superiority over Manchester United with a humbling 3-0 victory over its great
rival on Sunday, virtually ending the beleaguered champions chances of
qualifying for the Champions League. On the darkest day of David Moyes
tumultuous first season at Old Trafford, United was outclassed as Steven Gerrard
converted two penalties -- and missed a third -- and Luis Suarez completed the
crushing win with his 25th goal of the campaign. Liverpool moved up to second
and within four points of leader Chelsea with a game in hand, and can
realistically aim to win a first league title since 1990. "To come here and
dominate from start to finish, were still going away slightly disappointed that
we didnt score more goals," said Gerrard, whose penalties came in the 34th and
46th minutes. "Weve showed today that we are genuine contenders and we are going
to fight to the end for this." While Liverpool capitalized on Chelseas 1-0
defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday with another effervescent attacking display,
United couldnt be at a lower ebb after being humiliated in arguably the biggest
match in English football, which was watched by Argentina great Diego Maradona.
Their defending was shambolic and reckless -- there could have been more than
three penalties awarded -- and Nemanja Vidic was sent off for his second booking
in the lead-up to the third spot kick that Gerrard struck against the post in
the 78th. Moyes has a massive job to pick his team up in time for Wednesday,
when United tries to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit against Olympiakos in the
Champions Leagues last 16. That is their final shot at silverware. "Its a
nightmare," United striker Wayne Rooney said after the teams fifth home defeat
in the league, which left it 12 points off fourth-place Manchester City having
played two more games. "Its one of the worst days Ive ever had in football."
Liverpool had lost on its previous six visits to Old Trafford and seemingly had
an inferiority complex whenever it came to the home of its biggest foe. No more.
Brendan Rodgers men were brighter and more courageous on the ball, played at a
quicker tempo and were more incisive going forward..
Glen Rice Heat
Jersey. For the first time in a generation, they were widely seen as
favourites for a match at United, even in the opinion of Moyes. It could have
been 6-0 or 7-0 by the end as Liverpool ran amok. In the closing stages, with
United down to 10 men and having virtually given up, it evoked memories of the
6-1 home loss to Manchester City two seasons ago. Liverpool has gone from
finishing 28 points behind United, the champions last season, to being 14 points
ahead of them this season. "The biggest thing of where we have come in the last
year is belief," Rodgers said. "I was probably surprised before the game when we
were supposedly coming to Old Trafford at favourites. I would never say that at
Liverpool, even if we were bottom. Anfield is Anfield and we expect to win. We
have a mentality that I have been developing that we expect to win." United
hadnt had a chance of note by the time Liverpool deservedly went ahead, at the
culmination of a disastrous 90 seconds for Rafael da Silva. Soon after earning a
yellow card for a reckless lunge at Gerrard, the Brazilian right back was caught
out of position from a deep cross from Liverpools right, allowing Suarez to
bring the ball down and past Rafael in one touch. Rafael flicked out a hand and
gave away a penalty that Gerrard dispatched into the corner with some aplomb.
Fans were still filtering back to their seats after halftime when Phil Jones
barged into Joe Allen in the area, 23 seconds after the restart. There were no
complaints when the referee awarded a penalty and Gerrard found the right corner
again, this time low down, for his seventh successful spot kick in 2014. By the
middle of the second half, Liverpool was stringing passes together to a
soundtrack of "Oles" from the Liverpool visitors. The superiority of the
visitors was marked and United was just way off the pace. "Its difficult to
explain," Moyes said. It got even worse for Moyes beleaguered side when Vidic
was given a second yellow card for bringing down Sturridge in the box in the
77th. Gerrard struck a low effort against the post but Liverpool wasnt to be
denied a third, Sturridge slipping a pass through for Suarez to collect and
shoot home.
