Latest from NFL: Osweiler trips up Hillman shy of goal line
The latest from NFL games around the league on the 11th Sunday of the season (all times EST):
3:09 p.m.
Brock Osweiler's big feet cost the Denver Broncos a touchdown
The 6-foot-8 quarterback handed off to Ronnie Hillman on fouth-and-1 from the Chicago 2, but his right foot tripped up Hillman, who stumbled short of the first down.
That left the Broncos clinging to a 10-6 lead late in the third quarter.
The Broncos failed to capitalize on Danny Trevathan's interception, Denver's first takeaway since Week 6 in Cleveland.

3 p.m.
After a listless first half, the Oakland Raiders finally scored thanks to a key penalty on a Detroit defensive back.
Nevin Lawson was called for holding, negating an interception thrown by Oakland's Derek Carr, and the Raiders eventually scored on a 1-yard run by Latavius Murray in the third quarter. Oakland still trails 9-7.
The Lions controlled the first half but managed only three field goals by Matt Prater.
Calvin Johnson reached another milestone, catching the 700th pass of his career.

Ed Reed is now a member of the Baltimore Ravens Ring of Honor.
Reed was drafted by Baltimore in 2002. Although he spent a small portion of his career with Houston and the New York Jets, he retired as a Raven last May after signing a one-day contract.
The team paid homage to the nine-time Pro Bowl free safety Sunday at halftime of its game against the Rams. Reed also was part of the pre-game introductions.
The ceremony was attended by many of previous inductees, including Jonathan Ogden, Jamal Lewis, Todd Heap and Michael McCrary.

Cam Newton had never thrown four TD passes in a game before today.
He's accomplished that feat in the first half against the Washington Redskins.
Newton has thrown TD passes to Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, Ted Ginn Jr. and Greg Olsen to give the Panthers a 28-14 lead.
Newton's previous career high was three TD passes in a game.
The four TDs is a franchise record.

Tampa Bay's Doug Martin has 174 yards against the Eagles on 11 carries and it's only the middle of the second quarter.
Martin has runs of 58 and 84 yards, but was tackled short of the end zone on both. The Buccaneers lead the Eagles 21-14.
Martin's career-best was 251 yards rushing as a rookie at Oakland on Nov. 4, 2012. Adrian Peterson has the NFL record with 296 yards rushing for Minnesota against San Diego on Nov. 4, 2007.

2:10 p.m.
Falcons fullback Patrick DiMarco has tripled his career touchdowns in the first half against the Indianapolis Colts.
Used mainly as a blocker, DiMarco was left wide open in the end zone on a 15-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter.
Then, he pushed Atlanta to a 14-0 lead with a 1-yard scoring reception in the second period.
DiMarco came into the game with only one TD in his four-year career - a 1-yard scoring catch against Minnesota last season.

2:00 p.m.
The Atlanta Falcons clearly spent their bye week putting in more plays for Roddy White.
The leading receiver in team history has been nearly invisible this season, coming into Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts having been targeted only 30 times, with a mere 17 receptions.
But White was targeted five times in the opening quarter, more than he has in any game since he was the intended receiver eight times in the season opener against Philadelphia.
White has two catches for 17 yards.

1:50 p.m.
Washington running back Alfred Morris has left the Redskins' game against the Carolina Panthers in the first quarter with a rib injury.
Morris was getting his ribs taped by trainers on the sideline and appears as though he may return. The team has officially said his return is questionable.
Morris, who has rushed for 404 yards in nine games this season, was injured on the team's first offensive possession.
He's been replaced by rookie Matt Jones.

1:30 p.m.
This wasn't the way Tony Romo envisioned his return to action.
Romo's first completion back in pouring rain was left-handed toss out of end zone to avoid a safety. It was complete but short of the first down.
It was raining so hard, he went to the sideline to use a towel while the officials discussed a penalty.
Romo is playing in his first game since Sept. 20.
He missed seven games - all Dallas losses - with a broken left collarbone. Since Week 2 of 2014, the Cowboys are 15-3 when Romo starts and 0-8 when he doesn't.

1:15 p.m.
Brock Osweiler's off to a good start in his first NFL start.
The longtime backup to Peyton Manning drove Denver on its first opening touchdown drive this season.
He hit Demaryius Thomas on a 48-yarder to give the Broncos a quick 7-0 lead after the Broncos had forced Chicago to go three-out-out on the Bears' first drive.
Osweiler is starting in place of Manning, whose franchise record 57-game starting streak came to an end because of a variety of injuries.

12:55 p.m.
Peyton Manning's longtime backup Brock Osweiler is preparing to make his first NFL start today in Chicago. The Denver Broncos quarterback is celebrating his 25th birthday and making his first start since the 2011 MAACO Bowl for Arizona State.
Manning stayed behind in Denver to continue getting treatment on a variety of injuries.
Another backup is making his first start of the season today as Mark Sanchez gets the nod in Philadelphia because Sam Bradford has a concussion and injured left shoulder.
And in Atlanta, Matt Hasselbeck gets his third start of the season for the Colts with Andrew Luck sidelined with a lacerated kidney he sustained on a hard hit two weeks ago from Denver's Vance Walker and Danny Trevathan.
