Trending
Panthers 25, Eagles 14
PHILADELPHIA -- Bryce Young threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns to Tommy Tremble, and Chuba Hubbard ran for 120 yards and a score to lead Carolina past injury-riddled Philadelphia.
The Panthers (3-2) had little trouble in the second half picking apart the Eagles (2-4), who were missing quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley.
Hurts is on injured reserve and will miss at least four games with a blood clot in his calf. Barkley missed his second straight game with a hamstring injury and Will Shipley and Tank Bigsby, his two backups, were also sidelined by injuries.
Texans 34, Jaguars 31
LONDON -- Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired, C.J. Stroud threw three touchdown passes and Houston beat Jacksonville on the slick grass of Wembley Stadium.
Cam Little's 60-yard field goal had tied the game at 31-31 with just under two minutes left after Travis Hunter intercepted Stroud's pass in the end zone.
Hunter also hauled in a 7-yard touchdown pass at the other end -- becoming just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era, including the playoffs, to both score a touchdown and intercept a pass in the same game.
Marvin Harrison Jr. made his debut for the Texans (2-4), making three catches as Houston earned back-to-back wins to gain ground on the AFC South-leading Jaguars (4-2).
Bears 31, Falcons 23
ATLANTA -- Caleb Williams completed his first 12 passes in his return from a hamstring injury, D'Andre Swift ran for two touchdowns and Chicago beat Atlanta.
The Bears led 31-7 before holding off Atlanta's comeback attempt in the final quarter.
Bears cornerback Kyler Gordon, who was activated from the physically unable to perform list before the game in his return from a calf injury, had three sacks and two forced fumbles. Gordon's big day was capped by a sack of Michael Penix Jr. and forced fumble with 2:54 remaining and the Bears protecting a 31-23 lead. The fumble was recovered by Devin Bush at the Atlanta 28.
Saints 34, Giants 27
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Tyler Shough threw touchdown passes to Bryce Lance, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave and ran for a score, Isaiah Stalbird forced a fumble on a kick return and New Orleans scored 34 consecutive points, holding on to defeat New York and end its three-game losing streak.
The Saints (2-4) trailed 10-0 with 90 seconds left in the first half. After Daniel Carlson got them on the board with a 58-yard field goal, Stalbird's big hit that dislodged the ball and Oscar Delp's recovery of Charlie Jones' fumble on the ensuing kickoff changed the momentum.
Lance's first NFL TD catch six games into his rookie season and Carlson's extra point tied it with 1 second remaining before halftime. Kamara evading a tackle by Jason Pinnock -- who started in place of injured safety Tyler Nubin -- and getting into the end zone put New Orleans ahead less than three minutes into the third quarter.
Patriots 26, Jets 19
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes, New England overcame losing three offensive linemen and Charles Woods came up with Geno Smith's first interception of the season in the fourth quarter to help the Patriots hold on for a win over New York.
Maye completed 18 of 32 passes for 235 yards in his third consecutive game with at least three TD passes.
Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry had touchdown catches for the Patriots (4-2), who have won three in a row. Douglas had a team-high seven catches for 86 yards.
A.J. Brown had three catches for 27 yards for the Patriots in his return from injured reserve, but his timing was off and had three drops on his 10 total targets.
Titans 26, Colts 20
INDIANAPOLIS -- Tennessee used a 58-yard punt return to set up their first touchdown, returned a blocked punt for another score and got a 49-yard field goal from Joey Slye with 2:03 left to earn its first win of the season over Indianapolis.
Tennessee (1-5) ended a six-game losing streak in the series with a relentless defensive effort and two game-changing special teams plays that helped them overcome a 13-0 halftime deficit.
Cam Ward was 11 of 22 for 102 yards, with one TD and one interception as Tennessee scored its most points all season. Tony Pollard rushed 19 times for 76 yards and rookie Carnell Tate had six catches for 70 yards and his first TD reception. The defense finished with six sacks and three takeaways.
Cardinals 18, Rams 16
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Chad Ryland kicked his sixth field goal, a 43-yarder as time expired, and Arizona rallied for a stunning victory over Los Angeles.
Punter Ethan Evans kicked a go-ahead extra point after Colby Parkinson caught a touchdown pass from Matthew Stafford with 47 seconds to play for the vaunted Rams (2-4), who struggled all day before mounting a desperate final scoring drive.
But the Cardinals immediately moved 36 yards into field goal range on Jalen Brooks' long reception and an unnecessary roughness penalty on Josh Wallace. Three snaps later, Ryland buried his final kick to seal a shocking upset for Arizona (2-4), a double-digit underdog.
Chiefs 22, Chargers 6
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Kenneth Walker ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, Patrick Mahomes finished with 272 yards passing and Kansas City remained one of the NFL's final three unbeatens with a victory over the injury-plagued Los Angeles.
Xavier Worthy had seven catches for 73 yards and Travis Kelce hauled in five passes for 53, helping the Chiefs (5-0) survive without injured wide receivers Rashee Rice and Tyquan Thornton while keeping the struggling Chargers (0-6) winless.
Kansas City joined San Francisco and Minnesota -- both 5-0 and on their bye -- as the league's only unbeaten teams.
Bills 33, Raiders 30
LAS VEGAS -- Josh Allen passed for 255 yards and two touchdowns, using his improvisational brilliance to tie the Bills' career TD passing record, and held off Las Vegas.
The Raiders (3-3), who have lost three in a row, had rallied to tie it at 23-all. James Cook rushed for a 3-yard touchdown with 4:43 left to put the Bills (5-1) ahead for good. Tyler Bass added a 38-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining for what turned out to be a crucial two-possession lead.
