PHILADELPHIA — Kyren Williams ran for two touchdowns in the final four minutes as Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-20 on Sunday.
The Rams (2-2) had struggled offensively all afternoon and a win seemed out of reach until late in the fourth quarter, when Eagles coach Nick Sirianni decided against kicking a chip-shot field goal that would have made it a three-score game and instead went for it on fourth down.
The Eagles (2-2) failed to convert, giving the Rams new life.
Stafford and the Rams were aided by an unnecessary roughness penalty that helped them cap a 98-yard drive on Williams’ one-yard TD run with 3:59 left that made it 20-17.
The Eagles — who failed to convert a single third down on 12 tries — punted to set up Stafford for the winning drive. He connected with Puka Nacua three times and had a clutch eight-yard scramble on the 10-play, 79-yard march, and Williams finished it off when he broke a few tackles for a seven-yard touchdown with 1:10 remaining.
SEAHAWKS 30, CHARGERS 23
SEATTLE — Emanuel Wilson caught a touchdown pass and ran for another score and Seattle handed Los Angeles a fourth straight loss to start the season with a victory.
Sam Darnold threw for 168 yards and two touchdowns for the defending Super Bowl champions, who are 3-1 after rebounding from last week’s 33-31 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Wilson rushed for 81 yards on 21 carries and caught three passes for 39 yards. The backup running back, in his first year with the Seahawks, was thrust into a greater role when rookie Jadarian Price was placed on injured reserve on Saturday after aggravating a chest injury during practice.
Justin Herbert threw for 189 yards a touchdown and two interceptions for the Chargers (0-4). Herbert has been intercepted six times this season and sacked 12 times, including four for 35 yards on Sunday.
The only team to reach the playoffs after a four-loss start is the 1992 San Diego Chargers. That squad started 0-4, then beat Seattle 17-6 on Oct. 4 and went on to finish 11-5 and win AFC West.
Seattle won Sunday despite having 14 penalties for a franchise-record 150 yards.
COWBOYS 34, TEXANS 30
HOUSTON — CeeDee Lamb had a career-high 17 catches for 189 yards and his 12-yard TD reception with 40 seconds left lifted the Dallas Cowboys to a 34-30 win over Houston on Sunday to keep the Texans winless.
Javonte Williams ran for a career-high three touchdowns — all in the second half — to help the Cowboys to the victory.
Dallas (2-2) trailed by four after a six-yard touchdown run by Woody Marks with about two minutes to play. The Texans were facing third-and-14 when a hook-and-ladder play with a two-yard catch by Dalton Schultz and a 19-yard run by David Montgomery set up that score.
Dak Prescott then orchestrated an 11-play, 74-yard drive that included a fourth down conversion and capped it with the throw to Lamb to give the Cowboys the victory.
PATRIOTS 29, BILLS 26
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Drake Maye threw three touchdown passes, including Efton Chism’s one-handed catch with 1:50 remaining, and the New England Patriots defeated the Buffalo Bills 29-26 on Sunday.
Romeo Doubs had touchdown catches of two and 14 yards, and Rhamondre Stevenson scored on a one-yard run.
Though Maye’s turnover troubles continued with an interception and a lost fumble in the first half, the third-year starter was sharp in the final minutes after New England fell behind 26-21.
Maye’s 23-yard TD pass to Chism came on third-and-five, with the receiver bringing in the ball with his right hand and maintaining control in the end zone. Maye then hit Stevenson for the two-point conversion.
RAVENS 24, TITANS 18
BALTIMORE — Lamer Jackson threw for 222 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game with an ankle injury, Derrick Henry scored against his former team, and the Baltimore Ravens handled the Tennessee Titans 24-18 on Sunday.
Zay Flowers had eight catches for 118 yards and a TD for the Ravens, who snapped a four-game home losing streak but now have to deal with more health concerns about their two-time MVP quarterback. Jackson took a sack in the final seconds of the first half, and his left ankle appeared to roll under a Tennessee defender.
Baltimore kicked a field goal on the next play, and when the third quarter started, Tyler Huntley replaced Jackson.
By then, the Ravens (3-1) were already up 24-7. With something of a patchwork offensive line at the moment, they built the lead mostly through passing. Huntley went 8-of-9 for 63 yards, but Baltimore was scoreless after halftime on a drizzly day in Charm City.
Tennessee (0-4) is now 6-32 since Henry left the Titans to join the Ravens via free agency before the 2024 season. This was the teams' first meeting since then.
BEARS 23, JETS 12
CHICAGO — Kyle Monangai rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago Bears stuffed the New York Jets for a 23-12 victory on Sunday.
Devin Bush, Austin Booker and Dayo Odeyingbo each had a sack as Chicago limited New York to seven first downs and 157 yards overall. The Bears have allowed a total of 28 points in three games since their wild 59-37 victory at Carolina in their season opener.
Tyson Bagent passed for 268 yards for Chicago (3-1) and Cairo Santos kicked three field goals. Rome Odunze had six receptions for 94 yards.
Minkah Fitzpatrick stopped New York's NFL-record interception drought at 20 games, but the Jets (1-3) dropped their third consecutive game since their season-opening win at Tennessee.
PACKERS 17, BUCCANEERS 14
TAMPA, Fla. — Jordan Love threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers overcame two fourth-quarter turnovers to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-14 on Sunday.
Undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels threw two picks that led to 10 points in his first career start filling in for Baker Mayfield, who missed a game for the first time in his three-plus seasons in Tampa Bay because of a dislocated thumb.
The Packers (2-2) wasted two opportunities to extend a three-point lead in the fourth quarter but the Buccaneers couldn't capitalize.
Tykee Smith forced Kaleb Johnson to fumble inside the 5 with just over nine minutes left in the game. A’Shawn Robinson recovered at the 4 but the ensuing drive went nowhere.
The Buccaneers then had a first-and-15 at the Packers 26 when Jacob Parrish picked Love's pass and gave Tampa Bay the ball at the 15 and a chance for a comeback win.
GIANTS 36, CARDINALS 24
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes to offset a pair of interceptions, Deonte Banks had a 98-yard pick-six in the final seconds and the New York Giants won another not-so-pretty game, defeating the Arizona Cardinals 36-24 on Sunday.
Making his second start in place of injured franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart, Winston again did what he needed to do to engineer a victory with TD passes to Malachi Fields, Malik Nabers and Theo Johnson. Winston's 12-yard toss to Fields with 4:30 remaining in the second quarter was the team's first touchdown since the season opener, ending a drought that lasted nine-plus quarters.
Winston finished 18 of 29 for 250 yards in a roller-coaster showing of highs and lows. J.J. McCarthy was in uniform six days after the Giants (3-1) acquired him in a trade with Minnesota but did not play.
Nabers more than doubled his receiving yardage this season by making six catches for 112 yards. He had 96 through his first three games back from a serious knee injury.
JAGUARS 22, BENGALS 17
CINCINNATI — Trevor Lawrence passed for 227 yards and a touchdown, Jacksonville's defence forced two critical turnovers and the Jaguars held off the Cincinnati Bengals 22-17 on Sunday.
Joe Burrow passed for 428 yards for the Bengals, who lost All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a concussion in the second quarter. Tee Higgins had 11 receptions for 151 yards.
Burrow, who completed 39 of 54 passes, also had two interceptions — one that Jacksonville converted into a touchdown and the other when the Bengals were in the red zone.
The Bengals had a final chance to rally and drove to the Jaguars 21, but Chase Brown was stopped one yard short at the 12 after a catch on fourth-and-10, allowing the Jaguars to go 3-1 for the second straight year.
VIKINGS 15, DOLPHINS 10
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings stayed undefeated with more dominance by their defence and five field goals from Will Reichard, sidestepping their early passing game problems to secure a 15-10 victory over the winless Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
T.J. Hockenson had a career-high-tying 13 receptions for 119 yards on 13 targets from Kyler Murray, including the game-sealing 8-yard catch on third-and-5 from the 10. Hockenson was wide open and could've coasted into the end zone, but he wisely slid in front of the goal line to drain the clock down to the two-minute warning.
With the Dolphins out of timeouts, the Vikings had Murray take three straight kneel-downs to move to 4-0 for the second time in three years.
The Dolphins, who are 0-4 for the first time since 2019 in their first season under coach Brian Flores, were crushed by a combination of unforced mistakes and a bit of bad luck.
49ERS 24, BRONCOS 14
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and Christian McCaffrey ran for a score to lead the undefeated San Francisco 49ers to a 24-14 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
Both offences struggled to generate offence on a hot day in the Bay Area, but the 49ers (4-0) took advantage of a fumbled punt return by Marvin Mims Jr. to set up a short touchdown drive in the third quarter that gave them the lead for good.
Purdy capped the 28-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel that made it 10-3 late in the third quarter. He then engineered a 74-yard drive that McCaffrey finished with a 1-yard run to extend the lead to 17-6 midway through the fourth after the Broncos (2-2) had settled for a field goal on fourth-and-2.
Bo Nix, who has thrived in late-game comeback situations, tried to mount another for Denver with his 13-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle cutting the Niners' lead to 17-14 with a 2-point conversion with 4:05 to play.
CHIEFS 30, RAIDERS 27
LAS VEGAS — Patrick Mahomes remained undefeated at Allegiant Stadium, passing for 225 yards and two touchdowns, and Kenneth Walker III rushed for 177 yards and two TDs to lead the Chiefs to a 30-27 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
Walker's two-yard touchdown run with 3:21 left put the Chiefs (4-0) ahead for good at 23-19. It was set up by Tyquan Thornton's 55-yard reception on the previous play. Thornton, who had five catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns, suffered a gruesome-looking left leg injury on the play and was carted off.
Kirk Cousins passed for 365 yards and two touchdowns for the Raiders, ending his seven-game winning streak that included the final four games last season with Atlanta. Brock Bowers, who played with an illness, caught six passes for 86 yards and a TD.
PANTHERS 32, LIONS 26
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Bryce Young completed 29 of 41 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns to Tetairoa McMillan, who had 14 catches for a career-high 192 yards, and Carolina overcame an injury-filled week to beat Detroit.
Chuba Hubbard ran 20 times for a season-high 122 yards and two touchdowns as the Panthers (2-2) scored on six straight possessions after punting on their opening drive.
With two of his top three wide receivers in Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette out with injuries, Young leaned heavily on McMillan, and the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year responded in a big way.
McMillan had nine catches for 147 yards in the first half, including a 32-yard touchdown. He joined Steve Smith Sr. and Patrick Jeffers as the only Carolina players with at least 10 receptions, 150 yards receiving and two touchdown in a game and came one reception and 9 yards receiving shy of matching franchise single-game records.
Jared Goff threw for 412 yards and a touchdown to Sam LaPorta for Detroit (2-2) and Jahmyr Gibbs added 77 yards from scrimmage and scored his seventh touchdown of the year.
Young entered Week 4 leading the league in yards passing and the No. 1 overall pick in 2023 started by completing his first 11 passes.
The Lions were able to overcome McMillan’s big first half and tie the game before the break. Jameson Williams hauled in a 49-yard reception down the middle against an injury-depleted Carolina secondary that lost starting cornerback Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson to injuries last week.
