New England 25, Buffalo 6

ORCHARD PARK, NY (AP) – Devin McCourty returned an interception 84 yards for a touchdown, and the New England Patriots’ defense smothered the Buffalo Bills’ in a 25-6 win. James White scored on a 1-yard run, and the Patriots relied more on Stephen Gostkowski’s leg than on Tom Brady’s arm for their fifth straight win. New England improved its AFC East-leading record to 6-2. Brady finished 29 of 45 for 324 yards, but was held without a touchdown pass for the first time this season.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Nick Mullens had the most productive NFL debut by a quarterback since the 1970 merger to lead the San Francisco 49ers to a 34-3 rout of the Oakland Raiders. Mullens was 16 of 22 for 262 yards, three touchdowns and a 151.9 passer rating. He threw TD passes to Pierre Garcon and Kendrick Bourne on the opening two drives to help the Niners earn just their second win in two years without Jimmy Garoppolo under center.

FRIDAY RESULTS – November 2

(high school football playoffs)

AKRON — No. 9 West Hancock scored on seven of their nine possessions Friday night and steamrolled Akron-Westfield 50-14 in the quarterfinals of the Class A playoffs. Tate Hagen scored a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter following an interception and a fumbled center snap on a punt attempt.  But Hagen was hurt late in the first period and left the game.  The Eagles hardly missed a beat with his back-up, sophomore Cole Kelly, scoring three touchdowns and running for over 200 yards.  Logan Leerer connected on a 17-yard TD-pass to Caleb Eckels with 4.6 second to play in the first half to put West Hancock in front 36-8 at halftime.  The Westerners quarterback, Nick Jacobs, scored his second touchdown of the game on a one-yard run just 36 seconds into the second half.  But West Hancock answered with a seven-minute, 13-play drive that Josef Smith capped with a six-yard run for a 42-14 lead.  Cole Kelly’s 33-yard run up the gut with 10:48 to play in the game put the finishing touches on a 36-point blowout victory.  West Hancock advances to next Friday’s semifinal game against top-rated, unbeaten Hudson at in 10 am the UNI-Dome at Cedar Falls while the Westerners end the season at 8-and-3.
