Bengals 34, Falcons 17
MADRID -- Joe Burrow threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another and the Cincinnati Bengals' offense kept rolling to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 34-17 in Madrid on Sunday for their fourth straight win.
Ja'Marr Chase had eight receptions for 142 yards in the first half, and Tee Higgins added two touchdown catches at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Chase finished with 10 catches for 155 yards and a touchdown.
After his 47-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, Chase celebrated with Higgins in bullfighting style, with Higgins mimicking a bull by putting his hands on his head and Chase playing the matador with an imaginary cape.
The Bengals (6-2) have scored 30 points or more in four straight games for the first time since 1997. It was the second consecutive defeat for the Falcons (3-6).
Lions 19, Dolphins 9
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Jahmyr Gibbs had a rushing touchdown, Jared Goff threw for 170 yards and Detroit beat Miami for its fourth straight victory.
Jake Bates made four field goals on a day that was a bit underwhelming for Goff and the Lions' top-ranked offense, which entered averaging 29 points and 395.4 yards per game but finished with 271 yards.
Goff completed 17 of 25 passes while being sacked three times as Miami's defense pressured him throughout. Goff was intercepted by rookie cornerback Chris Johnson on a tipped pass in the first quarter -- just the second pick he has thrown this season.
Broncos 26, Panthers 21
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Bo Nix threw for 237 yards and two touchdowns and Denver benefitted from a momentum-turning coach's challenge to beat Carolina for its fifth straight win.
Jonah Coleman ran for 57 yards and a score and Courtland Sutton and Pat Bryant each caught TD passes for the Broncos.
Denver (7-2) got a late defensive stop as Nik Bonitto came up with a strip-sack on Bryce Young and recovered the ball near midfield with 1:24 left. The Broncos picked up one first down to seal the win.
Saints 23, Browns 22, OT
NEW ORLEANS -- Tyler Shough floated a 15-yard timing pass to Juwan Johnson toward the right corner of the end zone for a touchdown and desperate New Orleans stopped a do-or-die, 2-point conversion to outlast Cleveland in overtime.
After the Saints (3-5) scored on the first possession of overtime, Cleveland answered when Harold Fannin Jr. turned a short catch from Browns backup Shedeur Sanders into a tackle-breaking, 39-yard touchdown with a minute left in overtime.
The Browns (5-4) elected to try a 2-point conversion for the win, but Sanders was forced to roll right under pressure from Carl Granderson and threw incomplete along the sideline.
Chiefs 35, Jets 12
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Patrick Mahomes threw for 242 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to Kenneth Walker, who added 102 yards and a score on the ground, and Kansas City got back on track with a rout of hapless New York.
Walker finished with 143 yards from scrimmage and the Chiefs sacked Geno Smith five times while keeping the Jets out of the end zone, allowing Kansas City (6-2) to erase the stink of consecutive losses to the Seahawks and Broncos.
Rams 20, Commanders 13
LANDOVER, Md. -- Matt Stafford found star receiver Puka Nacua early and often, Myles Garrett had three sacks and a forced fumble in his return and Los Angeles held on for its third straight victory over Washington.
Seemingly open all afternoon, Nacua was targeted 19 times by Stafford and finished with 14 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown as the Rams (5-4) moved above .500 for the first time this season. Stafford threw for 219 yards with an interception on 26-of-43 passing.
Giants 19, Eagles 11
PHILADELPHIA -- Jameis Winston replaced the injured J.J. McCarthy long enough to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass and help New York keep its grip on the NFC East and beat Philadelphia to hand the Eagles their seventh straight loss.
The Eagles (2-7) are on their longest losing streak since they lost eight straight games in Andy Reid's final season in 2012.
With Jalen Hurts likely out for the season with blood clots and a playoff berth all but gone, the Eagles could get a roster makeover at Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
Cowboys 27, Colts 23
INDIANAPOLIS -- Javonte Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 1:08 remaining to cap a 101-yard rushing day, and Dallas rallied to beat Indianapolis.
The short-handed Cowboys (4-5) blew a fourth-quarter lead for the second straight week, but this time Dak Prescott led them on a four-play, 65-yard drive that took only 29 seconds and was helped by two Indy penalties. Williams punched it in on a play where it looked like the Colts (2-6) let him score, leaving time on the clock and two timeouts.
Seahawks 17, Cardinals 3
SEATTLE -- AJ Barner caught a touchdown pass and ran for a score, and Seattle beat Arizona without starting quarterback Sam Darnold.
Backup Drew Lock completed 19 of 28 passes for 175 yards and a touchdown for the Seahawks (5-4), who rebounded from a 34-17 loss at home Monday night to Chicago.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught seven passes for 51 yards in just his second game this season with fewer than 100 yards.
49ers 38, Raiders 17
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and ran for another TD and San Francisco had five takeaways in the second half to beat Las Vegas.
The 49ers (7-1) broke the game open in the third quarter thanks to the opportunistic defense starting on the first play from scrimmage when rookie Jaden Dugger returned a pass from Kirk Cousins 35 yards for the score.
Texans 44, Chargers 22
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- C.J. Stroud threw five touchdown passes, including a pair of season-best 63-yarders to Tank Dell and Kayshon Boutte, and Houston routed the winless Los Angeles for its eighth straight defeat in front of booing fans at SoFi Stadium.
Stroud completed 21 of 35 passes for 384 yards with one interception and one sack. Houston (3-5) has won three of four after starting the season 0-4.
