Eric Ebron (four catches for 53 yards) and Da'Norris Searcy (four tackles and a pass defended) were involved in a weird play...Shaun Draughn rushed nine times for 21 yards...Julius Peppers had two tackles and 1.5 sacks...Tre Boston had four tackles...Giovani Bernard had five carries for 17 yards and nine catches for 100 yards, plus a touchdown.
Basketball
