Mack stars as Colts hand Chiefs first loss
KANSAS CITY: Marlon Mack rushed for 132 yards on 29 carries on Sunday as the Indianapolis Colts controlled the clock with a potent run game and shocked the Kansas City Chiefs 19-13.
Mack led a 180-yard ground attack that enabled the Colts (3-2) to control the football for 37-plus minutes on 45 rushes.
They kept Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs (4-1) from finding any rhythm in handing them their first loss of the season.
Mahomes turned his ankle in the first half and aggravated the injury while playing on it in the second half. He passed for 321 yards but was sacked four times.
The outcome left the New England Patriots (5-0) and San Francisco 49ers (3-0) as the only unbeaten teams in the NFL.
At Landover, Tom Brady passed for 348 yards to move into third place on the NFL’s all-time leaderboard as unbeaten New England methodically defeated winless Washington 33-7.
Brady surpassed Brett Favre (71,838) on a 15-yard toss to Julian Edelman with 6:56 minutes left in the third quarter.
He finished with 71,923 to creep within 17 yards of second-place Peyton Manning (71,940).
At Arlington, Aaron Jones tied a franchise record with four touchdown runs and Green Bay held off a furious comeback to defeat Dallas 34-24.
The Packers had won all four previous visits to AT&T Stadium — including Super Bowl XLV — and were led in three of the four by quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
But it was Green Bay’s other Aaron that carried the load on Sunday, as Jones had 19 carries for 107 yards and added team-leading figures of seven receptions for 75 yards.
At Pittsburg, Baltimore’s Marlon Humphrey caused and recovered a JuJu Smith-Schuster fumble, setting up Justin Tucker’s 46-yard field goal in overtime as the Ravens beat the Steelers 26-23.
The game was marred by a concussion to Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph, who was knocked unconscious at 7:26 minutes of the third quarter. He was replaced by Devlin Hodges, who was 7 of 9 for 68 yards in his NFL debut.
