Broncos Overcome Eagles in Thrilling Finish

Denver's quarterback found a short scoring throw and the running back added a two-yard rushing score in the fourth quarter as the Denver Broncos overcame a 14-point deficit to deliver the Eagles their initial defeat of the campaign. The Broncos deflected Jalen Hurts' final pass on the game's concluding play to hand the reigning title holders to just their second loss in their last 22 games. The Broncos (three wins and two losses) got fortunate in their rally when the Eagles had a crucial play called back on an illegal shift penalty whistled against running back Saquon Barkley.

Houston Texans 44–10 Baltimore Ravens

Houston's quarterback passed for 244 yards and four touchdowns, and the Texans (2-3) cruised to a 44-10 win 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 (1-4) were missing star signal-caller Jackson, and that was far from their sole issue. Key defenders Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey all missed the game, and the Ravens already were weakened on defense because of a cervical issue that concluded the defensive lineman's campaign. 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 passed for two touchdown passes as the Colts overwhelmed the Raiders. This decisive advantage was Indy's largest since 2013. Jones finished 20 of 29 for 212 passing yards and moved to 4-1 as a starter this season, surpassing his combined victory total over the past two seasons with the Giants. The running back carried 17 attempts for 66 yards and caught three receptions for 20 receiving yards. The Colts converted a blocked punt, two interceptions and a turnover on downs into touchdowns. The Raiders fell to 4-1.

Dallas Cowboys 37-22 New York Jets

Dallas' quarterback passed for four touchdown passes, guiding the Dallas Cowboys to an easy victory over the New York Jets. The Cowboys put points on the board on two long marches in the second quarter, despite being without key linemen on the blocking unit. The running back gained 135 yards and a score and also caught a TD pass. The Cowboys, now 2-2-1, bounced back from a 40-40 tie against Green Bay last week. The Jets remain winless at 0-5 in their new coach's inaugural year as the leader.

Vikings Edge Browns in London Thriller

Vikings receiver Jordan Addison grabbed a 12-yard scoring reception from the quarterback with 25 seconds left to give the Vikings a win over the Browns at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This methodical march gave the Minnesota (3-2) a crucial victory on their overseas journey, which started with a 24-21 loss to the Pittsburgh in Dublin last Sunday. It also spoiled the rookie's debut as starter, as the Browns rookie put his team (one win and four losses) in position to win by passing for two touchdown passes. Fellow rookie Judkins gained 110 yards on 23 attempts. The quarterback overcame an arm issue that temporarily forced him out and directed two touchdown marches in the latter half.

Panthers Stage Epic Comeback Against Dolphins

Bryce Young threw for two scores and Rico Dowdle rushed for 206 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Carolina Panthers rallied past the Miami Dolphins in Charlotte. The quarterback's short pass to the first-year receiver with 1:59 to play gave the Panthers (two wins and three losses) the lead for good as they equaled the biggest rally to secure victory in team history by overcoming a 17-point hole. The QB had a poor start, but he ended up 19-for-30 passing for 198 passing yards with an interception. Dowdle, replacing injured Chuba Hubbard, did his damage on the run on 23 attempts, falling four yards of matching the single-game franchise rushing record. Miami's quarterback threw 27 passes out of 36 for 256 passing yards with three scores and receiver Waddle gained 110 yards through the air on six receptions and scored a touchdown, but the Miami (one win and four losses) fell to zero wins and three losses in away contests.

Saints Secure First Win Under New Coach

New Orleans' quarterback passed for a long touchdown to receiver Shaheed, safety Jordan Howden returned a fumble the length of the field for a touchdown, and New Orleans defeated the error-prone Giants for the New Orleans' first victory under rookie coach Kellen Moore. The QB earned his first victory in 11 career starts, throwing for 225 yards without any mistakes. New York's first-year signal-caller Jaxson Dart, who won his first career start last Sunday, threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns, but also committed errors on three occasions. The Giants turned the ball over on five separate plays in all, none more costly than when the defender stripped running back Cam Skattebo, resulting in Howden's TD. Each squad are 1-4.
