Jets, Giants triumph in OT for 1st wins

-

Saquon Barkley ran for a 6-yard touchdown in overtime after Daniel Jones passed for a career-high 402 yards, and the New York Giants rallied for their first win of the season, 27-21 over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

The Saints, playing in New Orleans for the first time since Hurricane Ida struck on Aug. 29, led 21-10 in the fourth quarter before Jones and Barkley combined for a 54-yard touchdown pass that ignited the Giants’ comeback.

Jets 27, Titans 24 — Matt Ammendola kicked a 22-yard field goal in overtime, and then Randy Bullock was wide left on a potential tying 49yarder with 15 seconds left to give New York its first victory.

Zach Wilson was mostly terrific, going 21 of 34 for 297 yards with touchdown passes to Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder and an intercepti­on.

Chiefs 42, Eagles 30 — Patrick Mahomes threw five touchdown passes three different ways, including three to Tyreek Hill, and Kansas City beat Philadelph­ia.

Andy Reid returned to Philadelph­ia and earned his 100th career win with the Chiefs, becoming the first coach in NFL history to win 100 games with two teams. Reid’s 140 victories with the Eagles are the most in franchise history.

Cardinals 37, Rams 20 — Kyler Murray passed for 268 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 39 more yards in a virtuoso performanc­e, and Arizona extended its longest unbeaten start since 2012 with a victory over Los Angeles.

Matthew Stafford went 26 of 41 for 280 yards and two touchdowns in his first ineffectiv­e performanc­e with the Rams, who failed to start 4-0 for the first time since 2018 with an ugly home performanc­e.

Seahawks 28, 49ers 21 — Russell Wilson overcame a shaky start to throw for two touchdowns and run for a third and Seattle rebounded from back-to-back losses by beating San Francisco.

The 49ers lost starting quarterbac­k Jimmy Garoppolo to a calf injury at halftime and playing without injured kicker Robbie Gould all game.

Garoppolo threw a 21-yard TD pass to Ross Dwelley on the opening drive but did little else before leaving with the injury.

Ravens 23, Broncos 7 — Lamar Jackson threw for 316 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown pass to a diving Marquis Brown, and Baltimore used a relentless defense to swat Denver from the ranks of the unbeaten.

Packers 27, Steelers 17 — Aaron Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for two touchdowns and ran for another score and Green Bay won its third straight.

Washington 34, Falcons 30 — Taylor Heinicke ad-libbed a 30-yard touchdown pass to J.D. McKissic with 33 seconds remaining, rallying Washington over Atlanta.

Browns 14, Vikings 7 — Myles Garrett and the Cleveland defense produced another dominant performanc­e, giving coach Kevin Stefanski a victory over his old team as the Browns beat Minnesota.

Cowboys 36, Panthers 28 — Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, Ezekiel Elliott had his first 100-yard rushing game of the season against the NFL’s No. 1 defense and Dallas beat Carolina.

Bills 40, Texans 0 — Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds had the first of Buffalo’s four intercepti­ons, and the Bills suffocated the offensivel­y inept Houston.

Micah Hyde, Tyler Matakevich and Jaquan Johnson, in his first career start, each had intercepti­ons, while Cam Lewis forced a fumble as Buffalo overwhelme­d rookie quarterbac­k Davis Mills in his second career start.

Bears 24, Lions 14 — Rookie Justin Fields brushed off a nightmaris­h first start, and Chicago bounced back from one of the worst offensive performanc­es the NFL has seen to beat winless Detroit.

Fields looked more comfortabl­e, completing 11 of 17 passes for 209 yards and an intercepti­on in his second consecutiv­e start with Andy Dalton sidelined because of a bone bruise in his left knee.

Colts 27, Dolphins 17 — Carson Wentz threw a pair of touchdown passes to Mo Alie-Cox, Jonathan Taylor rushed for 103 yards and a score and Indianapol­is got its first win of the season by topping sputtering Miami.

Wentz completed 24 of 32 passes for 228 yards for the Colts, who avoided what would have been their first 0-4 start since 2011. They spent most of the day frustratin­g former Indianapol­is quarterbac­k Jacoby Brissett, who completed 20 of 30 passes but threw for 123 of his 199 yards in the final quarter.
