Broncos Overcome Eagles in Thrilling Finish

Bo Nix connected with a short scoring throw and JK Dobbins contributed a two-yard rushing score in the final period as the Denver Broncos erased a two-touchdown disadvantage to hand the Eagles their initial defeat of the season. Denver's defense deflected Jalen Hurts' final attempt on the game's concluding play to hand the Super Bowl champions to just their second defeat in their last 22 games. The Broncos (three wins and two losses) got fortunate in their rally when the Philadelphia had a late fourth-down conversion nullified on a formation infraction whistled against running back Saquon Barkley.

Texans Dominate Depleted Ravens in Record Win

CJ Stroud passed for 244 passing yards and four touchdowns, and the Texans (two wins and three losses) cruised to a decisive victory over a depleted Baltimore team, matching both the most lopsided road win in the franchise's record books and the most lopsided home loss in Baltimore's annals. The Ravens (one win and four losses) were without star signal-caller Jackson, and that was far from their sole issue. Defensive standouts multiple defensive leaders all missed the game, and the Baltimore already were weakened on defense because of a neck problem that ended the defensive lineman's season. The Ravens were also without All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard and tackle Ronnie Stanley.

Colts Rout Raiders in One-Sided Affair

Jonathan Taylor ran for three rushing scores and a two-point conversion, and the quarterback threw two scoring throws as the Indianapolis Colts routed the Las Vegas Raiders. This decisive advantage was Indy's biggest since 2013. The quarterback finished 20 of 29 for 212 yards and improved to four wins and one loss as a starter this year, exceeding his combined victory total over the past two seasons with the New York Giants. The running back rushed 17 attempts for 66 yards and caught three receptions for 20 receiving yards. The Colts turned a blocked punt, two interceptions and a turnover on downs into touchdowns. The Raiders dropped to 4-1.

Cowboys Soar Past Jets in High-Scoring Game

Dak Prescott threw four scoring throws, leading the Cowboys to a comfortable win over the New York Jets. The Cowboys put points on the board on two 90-yard drives in the second period, even with being without key linemen on the offensive line. The running back gained 135 yards and a score and also caught a TD pass. Dallas, now 2-2-1, rebounded from a high-scoring draw against the Packers last Sunday. New York remain winless at 0-5 in Aaron Glenn's inaugural year as head coach.

Minnesota Vikings 21–17 Cleveland Browns

Minnesota wideout Addison caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz with 25 seconds left to give Minnesota a win over the Cleveland Browns at the UK venue. This methodical march gave the Minnesota (3-2) a much-needed win on their historic international road trip, which started with a 24-21 loss to the Pittsburgh in Dublin last Sunday. This also marred Dillon Gabriel's debut as starter, as the Browns first-year player positioned his squad (one win and four losses) in position to win by passing for two scores. Fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins gained 110 yards on 23 attempts. Wentz shook off an arm issue that temporarily sent him to the locker room and directed two touchdown marches in the latter half.

Miami Dolphins 24-27 Carolina Panthers

Carolina's quarterback passed for two scores and the running back rushed for 206 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Carolina Panthers came back against the Dolphins in Charlotte. The quarterback's short pass to the first-year receiver with under two minutes to play gave the Carolina (2-3) the decisive advantage as they matched the biggest rally to win a game in team history by overcoming a large deficit. Young had a poor start, but he ended up 19 completions on 30 attempts for 198 yards with an interception. The backup, replacing the sidelined starter, did his damage on the ground on 23 attempts, falling just short of matching the team's all-time rushing mark. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa completed 27 passes out of 36 for 256 yards with three scores and Jaylen Waddle gained 110 receiving yards on six catches and scored a score, but the Dolphins (one win and four losses) fell to zero wins and three losses in road games.

New York Giants 14–26 New Orleans Saints

New Orleans' quarterback threw an 87-yard score to Rashid Shaheed, defensive back Howden scooped up a loose ball the length of the field for a touchdown, and the Saints defeated the turnover-prone New York Giants for the New Orleans' first victory under first-year head coach Moore. The QB earned his first victory in 11 professional starts, passing for 225 passing yards without a turnover. New York's first-year signal-caller Dart, who secured his first career start last Sunday, passed for 202 passing yards and two scores, but also turned the ball over on three occasions. The Giants turned the ball over five times in all, with none worse than when Bryan Bresee stripped running back Cam Skattebo, leading to Howden's TD. Both teams are 1-4.
