WEEK 7 RECAPS
EAGLES 21, VIKINGS 10
Josh Huff returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, and Carson Wentz outplayed Sam Bradford on Sunday, handing the Vikings their first loss of the season. Bradford returned to Philadelphia for the first time since his trade to Minnesota eight days before the season opener paved the way for Wentz to start.
DOLPHINS 28, BILLS 25
Jay Ajayi tied an NFL record by surpassing 200 yards rushing for the second game in a row. Ajayi rushed for 214 yards in 29 carries after totaling 204 yards a week earlier in a win over Pittsburgh. He scored on a 4-yard run and busted a 53-yarder when the Dolphins were pinned at their 3 and trailing in the fourth quarter.
PATRIOTS 27, STEELERS 16
LeGarrette Blount ran for 127 yards and two scores while Tom Brady completed 19 of 26 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns. Making his third career start, Steelers quarterback Landry Jones threw for 281 yards with a touchdown and an interception. New England remained perfect since Brady returned from his four-game suspension.
CHIEFS 27, SAINTS 21
Alex Smith threw two touchdown passes in another efficient outing, and Daniel Sorensen returned an interception of Drew Brees for another touchdown. Spencer Ware ran for 77 yards to go with his 46-yard touchdown reception, and Tyreek Hill made an acrobatic 38-yard TD catch to help the Chiefs win their ninth straight at home. Brees finished with 367 yards and three TD passes.
RAIDERS 33, JAGUARS 16
Latavius Murray scored twice in his return from turf toe, and the Raiders gave coach Jack Del Rio a victory against his former team. Murray, who missed the past two games, finished with 59 yards on 18 carries. Michael Crabtree caught eight passes for 96 yards and a touchdown from Derek Carr, Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals and the Raiders played the kind of defense they’ve been looking for all season.
LIONS 20, REDSKINS 17
Matthew Stafford threw a go-ahead, 18-yard touchdown pass to Anquan Boldin with 16 seconds left. Stafford, who set up game-winning kicks in the previous two games, led his team to another win in the 100th game of his career. He was 18-of-29 for 266 yards, one TD and no turnovers.
GIANTS 17, RAMS 10
The Giants capitalized on four interceptions of Case Keenum in the first NFL game played at London’s home of English rugby, a sold-out and raucous Twickenham Stadium. Keenum, who finished 32-of-53 for 291 yards and one touchdown, has thrown an interception on the Rams’ final offensive play of the past three games. That likely will fuel debate on a potential quarterback change to overall No. 1 draft pick Jared Goff.
BENGALS 31, BROWNS 17
A.J. Green’s one-handed catch in the middle of an end zone scrum highlighted Cincinnati’s day full of big plays. Green’s 48-yard touchdown catch on the final play of the first half helped the Bengals regain their footing in the injury-depleted AFC North. Jeremy Hill had a 74-yard touchdown run as part of his 168-yard performance, the best by a Bengals running back in seven years.
JETS 24, RAVENS 16
Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced an injured Geno Smith and led the Jets on three scoring drives, and a rejuvenated defense came up with two rare interceptions. Fitzpatrick came in for Smith in the second quarter and led the Jets on a go-ahead drive capped by a 13-yard touchdown catch by Matt Forte. Fitzpatrick finished 9-of-14 for 120 yards and a touchdown as the Jets snapped a four-game losing streak. Joe Flacco started for Baltimore after being questionable with a sore shoulder. He went a team-record 176 consecutive throws without an interception before former Moc Buster Skrine picked off his pass in the third quarter.
BUCCANEERS 34, 49ERS 17
Jameis Winston threw three touchdown passes and Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 154 yards. Mike Evans caught eight passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns, Russell Shepard scored on a 19-yard pass from Winston and Peyton Barber iced the game with a 44-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
