Stills' Career Day Helps Saints to Win

One week after tying a career high with eight receptions, New Orleans wide receiver Kenny Stills caught five passes for a career-best 162 yards and a touchdown as the Saints won on in the road in Pittsburgh, 35-32.

It was the third 100-yard game of Stills' two-year career, previously accomplishing the feat with 129 yards last year in Week 8 against Buffalo and earlier this year with a 103-yard output in Week 7 at Detroit. The 162 yards he recorded this week are the 10th-most in the NFL this season.

In the first half, Stills caught two passes for 54 yards, including a 44-yard grab. He followed that up in the second half with three catches for 108 yards, highlighted by a 69-yard touchdown reception that put New Orleans in 28-13 in the third quarter.

Also in the game, linebacker Curtis Lofton tied for the Saints' team lead with 10 tackles. Rookie wide receiver Jalen Saunders also made his New Orleans debut in the win, but he did not record any stats.

Colvin Finds the End Zone in Jaguars' Victory

Playing in only the second game of his career, rookie cornerback Aaron Colvin had one of the biggest plays of Jacksonville's season as he scooped up a fumble and returned it 41 yards for a touchdown as the Jaguars rallied for a 25-24 win over the New York Giants.

The Jaguars had trailed by as much as 21-3 earlier in the game, but Colvin's score made it 22-21 in favor of Jacksonville with just under 13 minutes to play. He finished with a career-high four tackles and a pass breakup in the win.
