(AP) — Green Bay’s defense has hit a wall — and so have the Packers’ playoff hopes.Six days after allowing Tommy DeVito to drive the New York Giants for a winning field goal as time expired, the Packers (6-8) got picked apart by Baker Mayfield in a 34-20 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.Mayfield threw for 381 yards and four touchdowns. Tampa Bay scored touchdowns on its first three second-half possessions, and Mayfield took a knee to end the game after the Bucs reached Green Bay’s 11 on their fourth and final series of the half.“They’re beating us,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. “They’re outcoaching us. They’re out-scheming us and outplaying us, ultimately.”Just two weeks ago, LaFleur was fielding questions about Green Bay’s playoff hopes after the Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs to get to .500. On Sunday, LaFleur was asked about whether he’d fire defensive coordinator Joe Barry before the end of the season.“Now’s not the time for that, to be h...

Carr throws 3 TD passes as Saints top Giants 24-6 to remain tied atop NFC South NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Derek Carr quieted the boobirds in the Superdome and Saints defensive players were the ones making Italian-style hand gestures after a season-high seven sacks. Carr passed for three touchdowns and the Saints largely stifled — and battered — quarterback Tommy DeVito in a 24-6 victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.Saints defensive end Tanoh Kpassagnon had three sacks and celebrated with the same pinched-finger gesture that Giants players had embraced in DeVito’s honor during a three-game winning streak that ended in New Orleans. “I’m from Philly,” Kpassagnon said. “We got a whole bunch of Italians out there. So, we’re used to Italian.”Meanwhile, Carr’s performance was a redemptive one for the first-year Saints QB, who was booed while struggling in recent home games. He connected on 23 of 28 passes for 218 yards without a turnover in one of his most efficient outings of his first season with New Orleans (7-7).And he did it without top receiver Chris ...
