INDIANAPOLIS — Graham Harrell led Green Bay to 11 points in the final 35 seconds, rallying the defending Super Bowl champs to a 24-21 victory over Indianapolis in NFL preseason action Friday night.

Harrell threw an 11-yard TD pass to Ryan Taylor with 35 seconds to go, then hooked up with Taylor again on the two-point conversion to make it 21-21. After the Packers recovered an onside kick, Harrell set up Mason Crosby for a 50-yard field goal as time expired.

Rams 14, Chiefs 10
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sam Bradford led St. Louis to a pair of touchdowns, and the Rams’ defense made life miserable for Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel.

Bradford was 8-of-8 for 76 yards on his first two series, with scoring passes of 6 yards to Mike Sims-Walker and 11 yards to rookie tight end Lance Kendricks. Bradford finished with 95 yards passing in his most significant dress rehearsal before the Rams’ opener against Philadelphia.

Cassel was 6-of-13 for 59 yards and was sacked for an 11-yard loss.

Tennessee Titans
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee agreed to a contract with receiver Kevin Curtis. The eight-year veteran, who played last season with Miami, has 253 catches for 3,297 yards and 20 touchdowns in 81 career games.

Buffalo Bills
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams has agreed to a six-year contract extension that’s potentially worth $39 million, a person familiar with contract talks has told The Associated Press.

The deal was agreed to Friday, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the Bills had not announced the move, which would make Williams among the NFL’s top-paid defensive linemen.
