The Los Angeles Chargers and Carolina Panthers had last-second wins, the Baltimore Ravens saw their season slip further away, and Daniel Jones led the Indianapolis Colts to another victory on NFL Sunday.
Seattle Seahawks 20-12 Jacksonville Jaguars
Sam Darnold threw touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, and Seattle controlled both lines of scrimmage en route to a 20-12 win in Jacksonville.
Smith-Njigba finished with eight receptions for 162 yards as the Seahawks (4-2) rebounded from a last-second loss at home to Tampa Bay.
Meanwhile, the Jaguars (4-2) looked every bit the same as the team that came off a week in which they enjoyed a Monday night win over three-time AFC champion Kansas City. Jacksonville’s first three snaps set the tone: a sack, a holding penalty and a 3-yard loss.
Trevor Lawrence was sacked six more times. Travis Etienne was held to 27 yards on 12 carries. And the Jaguars had a 54-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence to Brian Thomas Jr. that was negated because rookie Travis Hunter lined up offsides.
San Francisco 49ers 19-30 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and made a dramatic scramble to help the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the San Francisco 49ers 30-19.
The Buccaneers, who led 20-19 in the top of the fourth, went 3-and-14 from their own 41 shots. Mayfield ducked on a sack in the pocket, dodged another defender, got out of trouble, evaded more tackles, dove headfirst and stretched the ball for a first down on 3rd-and-14.
A few plays later, Mayfield connected with Tez Johnson on a 45-yard touchdown pass to give the 49ers a 27-19 lead.
The 49ers were closing in on a potential tying score with less than six minutes left when Mac Jones threw an interception to Jamel Dean on fourth-and-5 at the Buccaneers 33, setting up Chase McLaughlin’s 45-yard field goal to extend the lead to 30-19.
Jones threw for 347 yards with two picks, taking his first loss in four starts in place of Brock Purdy. Mayfield was 17 of 23 for 256 yards and two scores to Kameron Johnson and Tez Johnson.
Los Angeles Chargers 29-27 Miami Dolphins
Justin Herbert escaped the Dolphins’ pass rush and connected with Ladd McConkey for a 42-yard catch-and-run in the final minute, setting up Cameron Dicker’s fifth field goal of the game as the Los Angeles Chargers rallied to beat Miami 29-27.
The Dolphins overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter to take the lead when Tua Tagovailoa threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Darren Waller with 46 seconds left.
Nyheim Hines set up the Chargers at Miami’s 35 with a 40-yard return on the next kickoff. On 2nd and 10, Herbert came into the pocket, escaped the grasp of Jalan Phillips and threw a short pass to McConkey, who broke a tackle at the Miami 17 and hit it out of bounds. Dicker’s 33-yard kick gave Los Angeles (4-2) the win, snapping a two-game skid.
Herbert completed 29 of 38 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. Kimani Vidal, who got the bulk of the carries out of Los Angeles’ backfield, finished with 18 rushes for 124 yards and a 7-yard touchdown catch. McConkey had seven catches for 100 yards and a TD.
Tagovailoa, who finished with 205 yards passing, threw his third interception of the day on Miami’s final possession, and the Dolphins (1-5) were booed at Hard Rock Stadium.
Los Angeles Rams 17-3 Baltimore Ravens
The Los Angeles Rams ended the first half with a goal-line stand, then Matthew Stafford drove in two touchdowns to open the third quarter with a 17-3 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
The Rams (4-2) weren’t at their best, but they didn’t have to face a spiraling Baltimore team without injured quarterback Lamar Jackson for the second straight weekend. The Ravens (1-5) made a field goal on their first drive but went no further.
Kyren Williams put Los Angeles ahead with a 3-yard run in the third. After a fumble by Baltimore’s Zay Flowers, the Rams quickly made it 17-3 on an 8-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Tyler Higbee.
With Jackson sidelined with a hamstring injury, Cooper Rush was 11-for-19 for 72 yards with an interception and a fumble and was favored by Tyler Huntley in the fourth.
Dallas Cowboys 27-30 Carolina Panthers
Rico Dowdle topped 200 yards from scrimmage for the second straight week (this time against his former team) and rookie Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired as the Carolina Panthers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 30-27 in a wild back-and-forth game.
Bryce Young completed 17 of 25 passes for 199 yards and threw two of his three touchdown passes to rookie Tetairoa McMillan to help the Panthers (3-3) improve to 3-0 at home.
Dowdle ran for 183 yards on 30 carries and caught four passes for 56 yards and a touchdown for the Panthers, who beat the Cowboys for the first time in three years at home. Dowdle spent five years with the Cowboys before signing with Carolina as an unrestricted free agent. He has 473 yards from scrimmage over the past two weeks, a franchise record.
McMillan had not caught a touchdown pass in the NFL before Sunday after catching 26 in three seasons at the University of Arizona, but broke through with touchdown catches of 19 and 2 yards.
Dak Prescott went 25 of 34 for 261 yards and three touchdowns for the Cowboys (2-3-1). Dallas squandered a career-high game from George Pickens, who caught nine passes for 168 yards and a touchdown.
Cincinnati Bengals 18-27 Green Bay Packers
Josh Jacobs rushed for two touchdowns and the Green Bay Packers held off Cincinnati for a 27-18 win in Joe Flacco’s Bengals debut.
Jacobs scored on a 3-yard touchdown in the second quarter and opened the fourth with a 14-yard burst up the middle. Jordan Love was 19 of 26 for 259 yards with an interception and a 19-yard touchdown pass to Tucker Kraft.
Lucas Havrisik sealed the win with his second of two field goals, a 39-yarder with 1:52 left. Havrisik also kicked a 43-yarder a day after signing with the Packers because usual kicker Brandon McManus suffered a quadriceps injury.
Cincinnati’s last hope was extinguished when Evan McPherson missed a 56-yard attempt to the right with 41 seconds left. McPherson also nailed a 45-yard field goal and fell short of an NFL record 67 yards to end the first half. The initial kick was attempted but blocked due to a Packers timeout.
Flacco arrived via trade from the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday and finished 29 of 45 for 219 yards and two touchdowns.
Arizona Cardinals 27-31 Indianapolis Colts
Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes and Jonathan Taylor ran for 1 yard with 4:32 left to give the Indianapolis Colts a 31-27 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Jones finished 22 of 30 for 212 yards with one interception and running for a score. Taylor had 21 carries for 123 yards and rookie tight end Tyler Warren caught six passes for 63 yards and a touchdown.
Indy (5-1) has remained perfect at home, winning six straight over the past two seasons at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Arizona (2-4) lost its fourth straight game and blew a fourth quarter lead for the second straight week. Jacoby Brissett replaced the injured Kyler Murray with one of his former teams. He was 27 of 44 for 320 yards and two touchdowns with one interception. McBride had a season-high eight receptions for 72 yards and a score.
New England Patriots 25-19 New Orleans Saints
Drake Maye passed for three touchdowns of 25 yards or more, including two to Kayshon Boutte, as the New England Patriots outlasted the New Orleans Saints 25-19.
Maye completed 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards with no turnovers and tied with DeMario Douglas for a 53-yard score as the Patriots (4-2) won for the third straight week.
Boutte, a Louisiana native who played collegiately at LSU, caught five passes for 93 yards.
The Saints (1-5) were driving for a possible go-ahead score in the fourth quarter when tight end Juwan Johnson was ruled to have fumbled what was initially ruled a go-ahead goal at midfield on video review.
Spencer Rattler completed 20 of 26 passes for 227 yards and no turnovers, but the Saints struggled to get into the end zone. Taysom Hill scored New Orleans’ lone touchdown on a 1-yard run and Blake Grupe kicked four field goals.
Cleveland Browns 9-23 Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Rodgers passed for 235 yards and two touchdowns and the Pittsburgh Steelers cruised to a 23-9 victory over the Cleveland Browns with little trouble.
The Steelers (4-1) continued their home mastery of the Browns (1-5), strengthening their early dominance over the AFC North. Cleveland’s regular season losing streak at Acrisure Stadium reached 22 games after another lethargic performance by the offense.
Browns rookie Dillon Gabriel passed for 221 yards but was unable to lead the league’s second-worst scoring offense to the end zone as Cleveland failed to break the 17-point barrier for the 11th straight game.
Pittsburgh hasn’t exactly been able to penetrate the NFL’s second-ranked defense. Still, Rodgers kept the chains moving by spreading 21 completions to eight different players. He threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Connor Heyward and put the game out of reach early in the fourth quarter when he found DK Metcalf on a pretty lob in the right corner of the end zone for a 25-yard score.
Tennessee Titans 10-20 Las Vegas Raiders
Geno Smith passed for 174 yards and a touchdown, and Devin White led a stifling Raiders defense as Las Vegas defeated the Tennessee Titans 20-10.
The Raiders (2-4) ended a four-game skid, while the Titans (1-5) missed a chance to extend their winning streak to 47 games for the first time since November 2022.
Neither struggling team did much on offense, combining for 451 yards.
Las Vegas won fairly easily despite pedestrian numbers from Smith and Ashton Jeanty, who rushed for 75 yards and a touchdown averaging 3.3 yards per play.
Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, was 26 of 38 for 222 yards. He connected with David Martin-Robinson for the second-year tight end’s first career touchdown.
