Pats’ offence, defence dominate Panthers

Brady threw for 204 yards and two touchdowns, Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 60-yard field goal and the Patriots shut down Cam Newton and the Panthers 30-7 on Friday night.

Manning was 12 of 21 for 139 yards, including his first scoring pass of the preseason.

Giants backup Ryan Nassib threw three touchdown passes in the second half.

SEATTLE Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score, helping the Seahawks to the easy win.

Seattle scored touchdowns on its first four possessions, and Steven Hauschka hit a 59-yard field goal what would be a franchise record in the regular season on the final play of the first half.

Wilson completed 15 of 20 passes for 202 yards, including scoring plays of 12 yards to Jermaine Kearse and 7 yards to Christine Michael.

Marshawn Lynch got his first taste of the preseason with three carries for 16 yards and capped Seattle’s opening drive with a 7-yard TD run before putting on basketball shoes and a baseball hat.

Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns, Eddie Lacy rumbled for a 1-yard score on the Green Bay Packers’ opening drive and prized free agent acquisition Julius Peppers recorded his first sack of the preseason in a victory over the Oakland Raiders.

A first-team defence that allowed three touchdown drives in four possessions in the first two preseason games had its ups and down against Rodgers, who finished 9 of 20 for 139 yards playing into the second quarter for the Packers (2-1).

Calvin Johnson played for the first time this preseason, catching two passes for 27 yards, but Matthew Stafford was intercepted once and the Lions (2-1) struggled in the red zone.
