(Reuters) - The Green Bay Packers made amends for a surprise opening week loss with a dominant 23-10 victory over division rivals the Chicago Bears on Thursday, as visiting quarterback Jay Cutler endured a game to forget.

BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The Baltimore Orioles' improbable ride to the top of the American League East continued on Thursday with an electrifying 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Manny Machado delivered the game winner, lining a two-out, run-scoring single off Chris Archer in the bottom of the 14th inning to the delight of the 25,130 fans at Camden Yards. Machado's hit was nearly caught by Matt Joyce but the ball fell just under the left-fielder's glove, allowing Adam Jones to trot home from second and give the Orioles their 13th successive extra-innings win. ...

Revis, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, suffered a concussion in a 48-28 season-opening victory over the Buffalo Bills last weekend. Though he has since been cleared to run and lift weights, he is still barred from contact. "If he's not 100 percent, then Darrelle won't play," Ryan told reporters on Thursday. "It's as simple as that. ...
