BASEL, Switzerland -- A brilliant 90th-minute goal by Thomas Meunier sealed Paris Saint-Germains easy progress into the Champions League round of 16 with a 2-1 win at Basel on TuesdayA point would have been enough for PSG to progress alongside Group A rival Arsenal when the Gunners scored late to complete a come-from-behind 3-2 win at Ludogorets Razgrad.But PSG defender Meunier made it emphatic with a spinning volleyed shot from outside the penalty area into the top right corner of Basels goal.PSG had only Blaise Matuidis 43th-minute goal -- a deft flick with the inside of his right heel -- to reflect its domination until Basel equalized with a stunning strike in the 76th.Substitute Luca Zuffi was 35 meters out when he spotted goalkeeper Alphonse Areola had strayed off his goal-line, and fired a dipping shot into the net.Basel finished with 10 players after Ivory Coast midfielder Geoffroy Serey Die was shown two yellow cards with six minutes left in the game.PSG and Arsenal both have 10 points and meet in London on Nov. 23.

What a way for Seattle and New England to cap the most exciting and enticing day of the NFLs largely lackluster season:Tom Brady floating an end-zone fade for Rob Gronkowski with Kam Chancellor in coverage -- three of the leagues best players -- on fourth-and-goal from the 1 with 11 seconds left to decide the outcome of a Super Bowl rematch from two seasons ago and possible championship preview for this season.This is the sort of Sunday that draws folks in and doesnt let them go.A really cool night of football, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said after his teams 31-24 victory at the Patriots.There really was nothing missing, from start to finish and everything in between, including:- a potential winning extra point blocked and returned for a winning defensive 2-point conversion by the reigning champion Broncos to stun the Saints (with the bonus talking point of whether the guy who ran the ball back should have been ruled out of bounds or was spared that embarrassment because, as the league acknowledged afterward, his white shoes might or might not have blended in with the white sideline);- a fake-spike TD pass by Ben Roethlisberger to Antonio Brown for the Steelers that was one-upped moments later by Ezekiel Elliotts 32-yard TD run with 9 seconds left for the Cowboys in a game that somehow included a half-dozen missed 2-point conversions;- an apparently harmless completion with less than 30 seconds left in a tied game that was meandering toward overtime suddenly transformed into a turnover by Chiefs defensive back Marcus Peters, who ripped the ball away from Panthers wideout Kelvin Benjamin and set up Kansas Citys winning, final-play field goal.And so much more.It all ended when Bradys pass for his elite tight end fell incomplete. Gronkowski and Chancellor, a superb safety, exchanged contact, but there was no flag, seemingly a miracle these days.It came down to one yard at the end, Brady lamented, and we didnt get it.The game was suspenseful as can be: Not only was the outcome settled in the closing seconds, but there were seven lead changes, the same number as in Dallas 35-30 win at Pittsburgh, marking the first time in NFL history there were two such exceedingly back-and-forth games on one day.It was chock-full of indivvidual excellence from some of the sports biggest names (Brady and Russell Wilson each threw for more than 300 yards; Richard Sherman recovered a fumble) as well as lesser-known-but-still-talented players (Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount and Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin each scored three TDs).ddddddddddddAnd it even offered some water-cooler conversation starters about two of the leagues best coaches.Was it really best for Bill Belichick to have Brady run the ball more times (twice) from inside the 2 than Blount (once) on the final sequence? (Brings to mind a certain decision not to run the ball at the goal line late in another game between these two teams, doesnt it?)Did it really make sense for Pete Carroll to have Seattle try a 2-point conversion (that failed) for what would have been a nine-point lead at the end, instead of taking the extra point for an eight-point edge?We wanted to see, Carroll said, if we could put it out of reach.In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL seasons 10th Sunday:HE DID WHAT?!Do yourself a favor and check out Tampa Bay QB Jameis Winstons one-of-a-kind play , when he scrambled this way and that for more than 10 seconds, covering more than 20 yards in the wrong direction -- all the way back to his own end zone -- before completing a 39-yard pass to a leaping Mike Evans that traveled a lot more than that. Then, one play later, Winston tossed a 43-yard TD pass to Freddie Martino in a 36-10 victory over Chicago.DEMARCOS NOT DONEIf anyone thought DeMarco Murray was done -- and Tennessee, lest anyone forget, used a second-round pick on Derrick Henry this year -- the running back sure put on a show in the Titans 47-25 win over Aaron Rodgers and the slumping Packers. On his teams first play from scrimmage, Murray went 75 yards for a touchdown, tying Hall of Famer Earl Campbells franchise record of five consecutive games with a TD on the ground. Then, for good measure, Murray threw for a score, too.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ' ' '
