Brandon Aubrey converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday.
Aubrey’s kick, the second game-winner of his career, capped a nine-play, 49-yard drive in the final 1:35. The big play was Dak Prescott’s 24-yard completion to George Pickens that got Dallas (5-5-1) to the Philadelphia 22 with 35 seconds left, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts and setting up the clutch field goal.
Prescott hit on 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 8-yard scramble with 11:40 left, complete with a somersault into the end zone, tied the game at 21. Pickens grabbed nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, while CeeDee Lamb had four receptions for 75 yards.
Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 throws for 289 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores for the Eagles (8-3). A.J. Brown hauled in a season-best eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held to a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries.
Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT)
Harrison Butker kicked five field goals, including the decisive 27-yarder with 1:57 left in overtime, to give host Kansas City a victory over Indianapolis.
Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and one interception as Kansas City (6-5) prevailed in a one-score game for the first time in six opportunities this season. Last season, the Chiefs went 12-0, including a postseason victory, in such situations. Kareem Hunt rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 141 yards for Kansas City, which overcame an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak.
Daniel Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts (8-3). Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree caught touchdown passes and Laiatu Latu had an interception. Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 16 carries, with 27 yards coming on one handoff.
Packers 23, Vikings 6
Injury replacement Emanuel Wilson ran for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns to pace host Green Bay to a victory over Minnesota in an NFC North matchup.
Wilson, filling in for injured starter Josh Jacobs, was the first 100-yard rusher this season for the Packers. Green Bay (7-3-1) remains a half-game behind division-leading Chicago and a half-game ahead of defending division champion Detroit. The game against the Vikings was the first of five against division rivals in a seven-game span.
Minnesota (4-7) managed just 145 yards of total offense in its fifth loss over the last six games. J.J. McCarthy, making his sixth career start, completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions with a passer rating of 34.2. McCarthy was under near-constant pressure and sacked five times.
Lions 34, Giants 27 (OT)
Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns, including a 69-yard TD run in overtime, as host Detroit turned aside New York’s upset attempt.
Gibbs also had a 49-yard scoring run and a 3-yard touchdown reception for the Lions (7-4). Jared Goff passed for 279 yards and two scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes — including his 500th career reception — for 149 yards and a touchdown.
Detroit kicker Jake Bates’ 59-yard field goal in the final minute sent the game to OT. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards and two scores and also caught a TD pass for the Giants (2-10), who have lost six straight. Wan’Dale Robinson caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score.
Ravens 23, Jets 10
Derrick Henry ran for two third-quarter touchdowns and Baltimore posted its fifth straight win, stopping visiting New York.
Baltimore (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, after the Steelers fell to the Bears in Chicago. New York (2-9) suffered its second straight loss.
Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards for the Ravens, while Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. New York running back Breece Hall accounted for 119 yards from scrimmage, although he was held to 44 yards on 16 rushes.
Patriots 26, Bengals 20
Drake Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and New England held on for a win over host Cincinnati.
Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (10-2), who won their ninth game in a row. Andy Borregales made four field goals.
Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-8). Chase Brown had 19 carries for 107 yards.
Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24 (OT)
Trevor Lawrence passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming three interceptions and four turnovers, and Cam Little’s 52-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime gave Jacksonville a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, advanced the Cardinals to the Jaguars’ 42-yard line on their final drive before throwing two incompletions. Michael Wilson had 10 receptions for 118 yards and Trey McBride had nine for 79 yards for Arizona (3-8).
Travis Etienne had 86 yards rushing and scored on a 15-yard pass on the Jaguars’ first drive of the game, which covered 97 yards. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers also caught touchdowns for Jacksonville (7-4).
Browns 24, Raiders 10
In his first career NFL start, highly publicized rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did just enough to push Cleveland to its first road win of the season with a victory over Las Vegas.
Sanders mostly stayed out of trouble in his debut, completing 11 of 20 for 209 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns (3-8). The 23-year-old threw his first career touchdown pass with 8:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Dylan Sampson on a screen pass that Sampson promptly ran 66 yards into the end zone.
The star of the show, however, was Cleveland’s defensive front. The Browns tallied 10 sacks, completely stifling the Raiders (2-9). Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown toss to rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who gained just 50 yards on 17 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.
Bears 31, Steelers 28
Caleb Williams passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and Kyle Monangai rushed for a score to lift surging Chicago past visiting Pittsburgh.
The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) stretched their winning streak to four, with each victory coming by one score. D.J. Moore led the team with five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards.
Chicago withstood a late rally from the Steelers (6-5), who fell into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was unable to play with a left wrist fracture that forced him from last week’s win against Cincinnati. Rudolph finished 24 of 31 for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception. Kenneth Gainwell gained 92 yards on 10 carries, and Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf rushed for scores.
Falcons 24, Saints 10
Kirk Cousins passed for two touchdowns and visiting Atlanta ended a five-game losing streak by defeating New Orleans.
Cousins completed 16 of 23 passes for 199 yards for the Falcons (4-7) as he filled in for Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury a week earlier. Star running back Bijan Robinson had 107 total yards on 16 touches for Atlanta.
Tyler Shough passed for 243 of the 293 total yards for the Saints (2-9), who did not score an offensive touchdown. Running back Alvin Kamara left the game after injuring a knee in the first quarter and did not return. Chris Olave led New Orleans with 70 yards on nine receptions.
Seahawks 30, Titans 24
Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle defeated Tennessee in Nashville.
Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver, had eight catches for 167 yards for the Seahawks (8-3). Darnold, who threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, was 16 of 26 for 244 yards. Kenneth Walker III rushed for a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.
Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this spring’s draft, was 28 of 42 for 256 passing yards and a touchdown and rushed for a team-high 37 yards and a score for the Titans (1-10), who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Ward threw a 1-yard TD pass to Chimere Dike with 43 seconds remaining, but the ensuing onside kick didn’t go 10 yards and Seattle ran out the clock.
