Broncos Overcome Eagles in Thrilling Finish

Denver's quarterback connected with an 11-yard touchdown pass and JK Dobbins added a two-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter as the Broncos overcame a two-touchdown disadvantage to deliver the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the season. Denver's defense deflected Jalen Hurts' final pass on the contest's last snap to hand the reigning title holders to just their second defeat in their last 22 games. Denver (three wins and two losses) caught a huge break in their comeback when the Philadelphia had a crucial play 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 scoring throws, and the Texans (two wins and three losses) cruised to a decisive victory over an injury-ravaged Ravens squad, matching both the most lopsided road win in the franchise's record books and the worst home defeat in Ravens' history. The Ravens (one win and four losses) were missing star signal-caller Jackson, and that was far from their only problem. Defensive standouts Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey all were absent, and the Ravens already were depleted on that side of the ball because of a neck problem that concluded the defensive lineman's season. The Ravens were also missing All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard and offensive lineman Stanley.

Colts Rout Raiders in One-Sided Affair

Indianapolis' running back ran for three rushing scores and a two-pointer, and the quarterback threw two scoring throws as the Colts overwhelmed the Las Vegas Raiders. This decisive advantage was Indy's biggest since the 2013 season. The quarterback finished 20 passes out of 29 attempts for 212 yards and improved to four wins and one loss as a starter this year, surpassing his total wins over the past two seasons with the New York Giants. The running back carried 17 attempts for 66 rushing yards and grabbed three receptions for 20 receiving yards. Indianapolis converted multiple takeaways into touchdowns. Las Vegas fell to 4-1.

Dallas Cowboys 37-22 New York Jets

Dak Prescott threw four scoring throws, leading the Cowboys to a comfortable win over the Jets. Dallas put points on the board on two long marches in the second period, even with being without key linemen on the offensive line. The running back gained 135 rushing yards and a score and also hauled in a receiving touchdown. The Cowboys, now 2-2-1, bounced back from a high-scoring draw against Green Bay last week. The Jets are still without a victory at 0-5 in Aaron Glenn's first season as head coach.

Minnesota Vikings 21–17 Cleveland Browns

Vikings receiver Addison grabbed a short touchdown pass from the quarterback with under half a minute left to secure the Vikings a win over the Cleveland Browns at the UK venue. This methodical march gave the Minnesota (three wins and two losses) a much-needed win on their overseas journey, which began with a 24-21 loss to the Pittsburgh in Dublin last week. This also marred Dillon Gabriel's first NFL start, as the Cleveland first-year player positioned his squad (one win and four losses) in contention by throwing two scores. Fellow rookie Judkins gained 110 yards on 23 carries. The quarterback shook off an arm issue that briefly forced him out and led two scoring drives in the second half.

Panthers Stage Epic Comeback Against Dolphins

Bryce Young passed for two scores and Rico Dowdle ran for 206 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Carolina Panthers rallied past the Miami Dolphins in Charlotte. The quarterback's short pass to rookie tight end Mitchell Evans with 1:59 to play gave the Panthers (2-3) the decisive advantage as they matched the biggest rally to win a game in team history by erasing a 17-point hole. The QB had a horrific first quarter, but he finished 19 completions on 30 attempts for 198 yards with one pick. The backup, replacing injured Chuba Hubbard, did his work on the ground on 23 attempts, coming up just short of matching the team's all-time rushing mark. Miami's Tua Tagovailoa threw 27 passes out of 36 for 256 passing yards with three touchdowns and receiver Waddle accumulated 110 receiving yards on six receptions and scored a score, but the Dolphins (one win and four losses) fell to 0-3 in away contests.

Saints Secure First Win Under New Coach

Spencer Rattler threw an 87-yard touchdown to receiver Shaheed, safety Jordan Howden returned a fumble 86 yards for a score, and New Orleans defeated the error-prone New York Giants for the Saints' first victory under first-year head coach Moore. The QB secured his maiden win in 11 career starts, passing for 225 passing yards without any mistakes. New York's first-year signal-caller Dart, who secured his first career start last week, threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, but also turned the ball over three times. The Giants gave up possession five times in all, with none worse than when Bryan Bresee forced a fumble from running back Cam Skattebo, leading to the safety's TD. Each squad are 1-4.
