WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- For Purdue sophomores David Blough and Markell Jones, Saturdays 24-14 come-from-behind victory against Nevada was all about redemption.Blough threw an interception during the games opening series that the Wolf Pack converted into a touchdown and Jones lost two opening-half fumbles, one of which was converted into a touchdown.But Blough threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns, and Jones had a go-ahead score in the third quarter as Purdue rallied to win.Purdue, which turned it over four times, pulled within 14-10 late in the second quarter on Bloughs 48-yard touchdown pass to Bilal Marshall. Purdues defense dominated the third, limiting Nevada to 23 yards on 11 plays.We showed a lot of character, said Blough, who was intercepted five times during a loss to Cincinnati on Sept. 10. The TD pass to Marshall at the end of the first half was the play of the game. It was big for us.Jones 5-yard TD run capped a 12-play, 49-yard drive in the third quarter, and the Boilermakers (2-1) added a TD with 1:17 remaining in the fourth on Bloughs 51-yard pass to Brycen Hopkins. Jones finished with 124 yards for his third career 100-yard game.The Boilermakers have turned the ball over 10 times, including seven interceptions for Blough, in their first three games but are 2-1 for the first time in coach Darrell Hazells fourth season at Purdue.To be down at halftime, the guys showed a lot of grit to overcome four turnovers, Hazell said. The defense was phenomenal in the second half, and the score before halftime gave us momentum. It lifted our sideline. At halftime, we had a lot of energy in that locker room.Tyler Stewart threw touchdown passes of 15 yards to Hasaan Henderson and 6 yards to James Butler for Nevada (2-2). The Wolf Pack converted the Blough interception and a Jones fumble into a 14-3 lead.We just couldnt sustain drives today, said Stewart, who completed 21 of 27 passes for 173 yards. We were OK in spurts, but we just couldnt sustain drives. We put up only 14 points, and thats not enough against a team like Purdue. We knew their defensive front was pretty good. I knew there would be pressure.The Wolf Pack had an opportunity to pull even at 17 with 4:16 remaining in the fourth, but Brent Zuzo hooked a 27-yard field-goal attempt wide left, and Blough iced it.They made plays at the end when we should have, Nevada coach Brian Polian said. There were a lot of mistakes made in the game, and things didnt always go well. Still, we had a chance to win the game in the end, and we didnt do it.Purdue outgained Nevada 466-253.TAKEAWAYS:PURDUE: The Boilermakers were sloppy offensively throughout the game, but their defense pressured Stewart throughout the day and did not allow a point during the games final 35:56.NEVADA: The Wolf Pack came in featuring a strong rushing attack, averaging 208.3 yards a game, but had only 90 at halftime and lost 4 yards rushing during the third quarter when all the momentum shifted to Purdue.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The divisional matchup on Thursday night cant get here soon enough for the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints.Both NFC South teams suffered heartbreaking losses on bizarre endings Sunday after seemingly having victory within their sights.The Saints appeared ready to apply the knockout punch to the Super Bowl champion Broncos when Justin Simmons leaped over the long snapper and blocked a go-ahead extra point attempt with 1:28 left, and teammate Will Parks scooped it up and raced 84 yards for a decisive 2-point conversion, giving Denver a stunning 25-23 victory .About 725 miles north of New Orleans, the Panthers found their own way to lose a game they should have won. They surrendered a 14-point fourth quarter lead to the Kansas City Chiefs when cornerback Marcus Peters stripped Kelvin Benjamin of the football with 20 seconds left as the Panthers were attempting to drive for the go-ahead score, setting up Cairo Santos winning field goal as time expired.Thats one plus, Panthers coach Ron Rivera said. We dont have to dwell on this for very long and we can start getting focused on the Saints.The Saints (4-4) could have pulled within a game of division-leading Atlanta (6-3), but wasted an opportunity. The Panthers (3-6) had a chance to move into a tie with the Saints and Buccaneers for second place in the division, but instead remain three games back of the Falcons with seven games remaining.What we have done is put our backs completely against the wall, Rivera said. There is no room for error now. What we have to do now is we have to go forward.So do the Saints.Its a blessing so we can get this bad taste out of our mouth, Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan said of playing oon a short week.ddddddddddddAdded quarterback Drew Brees after the loss: All you want to do is get back on the field as fast as you can. Obviously, weve got four days here so its a quick turnaround. Well have a good game plan together, but weve got to lose this one and move on to the next one.The Saints beat the Panthers 41-38 last month when Will Lutz kicked a 52-yard field goal with 11 seconds remaining to end a wild game in which Drew Brees and Cam Newton combined for 787 yards passing and six touchdowns.Theres no need to panic, Newton said Sunday. We have a couple key losses (from the Falcons and Saints), so thats our optimism. When you look at it, whatever our record is, its not good. But yet we have a locker room full of winners and a locker room full of guys thats full of fight still. I know I am willing to go to battle with those guys. I cant wait until Thursday.Rivera said hes expecting his teams best, despite the heartbreaking loss.He has also reminded his team several times that they won the division two years ago with a 7-8-1 record.Theres always going to be excuses, but theres not always going to be opportunities, Rivera said. So wed better start taking advantage of them. Thats the important thing.Rivera he likes that the Panthers dont have travel on a short week giving them a little more preparation time.The truth of the matter is were at home, so its not going to be as hard on us as it will be the Saints, Rivera said.---AP Sports Writer Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
