Referee Walt Anderson didnt bother collecting the jersey numbers when Tennessees offense messed up one play so spectacularly in the game at Indianapolis. He just called false start on everyone but the center .Otherwise, the officials drew more scorn than smiles in Week 11.Arizona coach Bruce Arians was steamed about calls and non-calls in the Cardinals crushing 30-24 loss at Minnesota that featured a reversed touchdown call and no flag on a 100-yard pick-6 . He began his post-game news conference, however, by declaring, I will not entertain questions about officiating.Good call.He wont be paying any fines.Arians was hospitalized Monday because he wasnt feeling well after returning to Arizona following the game. The Cardinals said initial tests came back favorably, but didnt specify what was ailing the 64-year-old coach who suffered from diverticulitis during training camp.Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin didnt go into specifics but can expect to hear from the league after lodging broad complaints about referee Brad Allens crew following the Steelers 24-9 win over Cleveland.I thought the officiating was questionable at times, Tomlin said. I just thought it was questionable. I thought there were some bad calls -- or no-calls.In Minnesota, the Cardinals were upset that no flags were thrown when Xavier Rhodes had a 100-yard interception return in the third quarter that put the Vikings ahead 20-10. They argued unsuccessfully that receiver John Brown was held by Captain Munnerlyn on the play, which should have negated the pick-6.Im sure well turn that into the league, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said, and Im sure theyll come back and say it was holding.That would be of little consolation to the Cardinals (4-5-1), who fell three games behind the surging Seattle Seahawks -- who made the best call of the weekend -- in the NFC West.While Arians was not in the mood to discuss the officiating at all after the game, his son Jake, who kicked for the Buffalo Bills in 2001, sent out a tweet with an obscenity directed at the NFL and its officials.One of the worst decisions of Week 11 was made by Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, whose roughing-the-passer penalty just before the two-minute warning ignited the Dolphins game-winning drive in Miamis 14-10 win in Los Angeles.We talk about it almost each and every week with Jeff Fisher and the Rams undisciplined play, NBC analyst Rodney Harrison said. Why would Aaron Donald take a cheap shot like that? Were not making this stuff up. Its documented. This is something that happens all the time with Jeff Fisher, and thats why they end up losing the game.Even before Donalds helmet-to-helmet hit on Ryan Tannehill, the Rams burned one of their two remaining timeouts with 2:18 left -- as they were lined up for a punt, no less -- rather than take the delay-of-game penalty.They sure could have used that extra timeout in the final minute after the Dolphins had gone ahead.The best call of the weekend goes to Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. He capitalized on the improved health and mobility of quarterback Russell Wilson, who caught a touchdown pass from Doug Baldwin as the Seahawks rolled past the Philadelphia Eagles 26-15 on Sunday.Because Wilson was lined up in the shotgun and not under center, he was an eligible receiver and he sneaked out into a route after flipping the football to Baldwin on the trick play.Ive been begging for that play for the past two or three weeks, Baldwin said. They doubted my arm ability, they doubted I could make the throw, so Im glad I got to prove them wrong.On a day kickers around the league missed a record dozen extra point attempts , Washington coach Jay Gruden opted to go for 2 twice -- and converted neither -- in his teams 42-24 win over Green Bay. He was validated, however, when Green Bays Mason Crosby missed a 36-yard attempt at that end in the third quarter, and when his kicker, Dustin Hopkins, shanked an extra-point attempt off the right upright in the fourth.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Pro Football Writer Dave Campbell and AP Sports Writer Stephen Whyno contributed.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Most Brazilian players were already back in the locker room when Neymar rushed across the field at Maracana Stadium to celebrate with the fans.Shirtless, Neymar raised his arms toward the stands. He pumped his fists as the crowd chanted his name. He pointed back at the fans, as if thanking them, drawing even louder cheers.The Olympic host nation is once again embracing its most talented son.Neymar had just scored two goals Wednesday -- including the fastest one in Olympic history, just 15 seconds into the game -- to lead Brazil to a 6-0 rout of Honduras in the semifinals and keep alive its hopes of winning Olympic soccer gold for the first time.The 24-year-old striker is vital for Brazil at the Rio Olympics and has regained the trust of the fans after a struggling start. Neymars brilliant display against Honduras helped Brazil reach Saturdays final against Germany. Besides the early goal, he converted a penalty kick in injury time after controlling the Brazilian offense throughout the game.This is the Neymar that we like to see on the field, said 38-year-old Brazilian fan Andre Gustavo Correa, speaking outside the Maracana. We need him to have a chance to win this gold! Without him playing the way he is playing, I dont think this team would have been in the final.Brazilian fans had jeered and mocked Neymar after disappointing performances in the first two Olympic games -- scoreless draws against South Africa and Iraq.But his recent level of play -- victories over Denmark in the group stage, Colombia in the quarterfinals, and Honduras in the semis -- has been more than enough to bring the fans back to his side.I would say, in the good sense, that Neymar is a monster, Brazil coach Rogerio Micale said. He has a gift for playing football. He delights absolutely everyone with his talent. There are externaal factors that influence the way players develop and I think it is an opportunity to study what happened to him to see if we can replicate that with other players.ddddddddddddHis coach thinks Neymar is a disrupting force for other teams.Hes the kind of player that when he is on a team, he kind of upsets the balance in a positive way, Micale said. I think he is very happy on the team. The team has embraced him. He is living through a positive period as opposed to a week ago, when there was a lot of demands and pressure on him. I think we need to respect him and have him on our side.Neymar arrived as one of the biggest stars of the Rio de Janeiro Games after skipping the Copa America to take on the responsibility of leading Brazil at its home Olympics. The Barcelona player was on the 2012 team that lost the Olympic final to Mexico in London.He was also on the national team eliminated by Germanys senior squad after an embarrassing 7-1 loss in World Cup semifinals two years ago, although he didnt play because of a back injury sustained in the quarterfinals against Colombia.That humiliating loss to Germany has scarred the Brazilian psyche. With Neymar on the field this time, everyone is hoping for a different outcome Saturday when the same two nations meet at the Maracana.For the time being, we have only the silver achieved, Micale said. But I still believe in Brazilian football. And when you have a star like Neymar, you have to be grateful, because he is the type of player that pushes Brazil to a higher level.---AP Sports Writer Anne M.
