WEEK 5 RECAPS

COLTS 26, 49ERS 23, OT

After blowing a 14-point lead in the final eight minutes or regulation and surviving an interception in scoring position in overtime, Marlon Mack’s 35-yard run set up Adam Vinatieri for a 51-yard field goal as the Colts beat the 49ers. Vinatieri made four field goals to move into second on the NFL’s career list, one ahead of Gary Anderson (538). Mack and Jacoby Brissett each scored on TD runs for the Colts, whose wins this season have come against winless teams. San Francisco is one of three teams that still has not won this season. The Browns and Giants are the others.

CHARGERS 27, GIANTS 22

Philip Rivers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Melvin Gordon with 2:58 to play, and the Chargers rallied to beat the Giants in a game worthy of two teams that started the season 0-4. The touchdown pass was Rivers’ third of the game and came three plays after Kyle Emanuel had a sack, forced fumble and recovery against Eli Manning at the Giants’ 11-yard line. It also came four plays after Odell Beckham Jr. hurt an ankle and become the fourth Giants receiver knocked out of the game. Rivers also hit Gordon on a 6-yard TD pass in the second quarter and had a 25-yarder to tight end Hunter Henry in the third.

JAGUARS 31, STEELERS 9

Telvin Smith and Barry Church returned a pair of Ben Roethlisberger’s interceptions for touchdowns as Jacksonville stunned Pittsburgh. Jacksonville beat the Steelers for the first time in a decade by relying heavily on the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense. The Jaguars picked off Roethlisberger five times in all and sacked him twice. Rookie Leonard Fournette ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Jaguars. Roethlisberger completed 33 of 55 passes for 312 yards and his career-high five interceptions.

EAGLES 34, CARDINALS 7

Carson Wentz threw a career-best four touchdown passes and the Eagles continued their impressive start. Wentz tossed three scoring passes in the first quarter — 59 yards to Torrey Smith, 11 yards to Zach Ertz and 15 yards to Trey Burton. He connected with Nelson Agholor for a 72-yard TD in the third quarter that left six-time Pro Bowl cornerback Patrick Peterson shouting on the sideline. Carson Palmer and Arizona’s one-dimensional offense were held to 279 yards. Wentz torched a secondary that features Peterson and Tyrann Mathieu, finishing 21-of-30 for 304 yards. Peterson held Alshon Jeffery to three catches for 31 yards, but Wentz spread the ball around.

PANTHERS 27, LIONS 24

Cam Newton threw three touchdowns to help the Panthers build a lead big enough to hold off the Lions. The Panthers scored 24 straight points after trailing 10-3 early in the second quarter. Detroit rallied but could not stop Newton on his last drive to get the ball back. Newton was 26-of-33 for a season-high 335 yards. On perhaps the game’s key play, he converted a third-and-19 pass from the Carolina 24 with a sharp 17-yarder to Kelvin Benjamin with 2:00 left while clinging to a three-point lead against a team out of timeouts.

BENGALS 20, BILLS 16

A.J. Green had a hand in three turnovers that kept it close, but the receiver also pulled off a 77-yard touchdown and another long catch that set up a score. After losing their first three games, the Bengals have salvaged their season by getting the ball to their playmakers at decisive moments. Green’s 47-yard catch set up a 5-yard touchdown run by Joe Mixon that put Cincinnati ahead to stay in the fourth quarter. Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor finished 20-of-37 for 166 yards and was sacked six times.

JETS 17, BROWNS 14

Josh McCown came back to Cleveland and beat the team that cut him, throwing two touchdown passes and leading the surprising Jets over the winless Browns, who benched rookie quarterback DeShone Kizer and fell to 1-20 under coach Hue Jackson. McCown threw a 2-yard TD pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins in the third quarter and a 24-yarder to Jermaine Kearse in the fourth to give the Jets a 17-7 lead en route to their third straight victory. Jackson also decided to replace Kizer in the second half for backup Kevin Hogan, perhaps a sign the coach is worried about losing his job. Hogan threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to rookie tight end David Njoku.

RAVENS 30, RAIDERS 17

Joe Flacco hit Mike Wallace on two deep passes to spark Baltimore’s struggling offense, and the Ravens got a fumble return for a touchdown by Jimmy Smith to beat short-handed Oakland, who were playing without injured star quarterback Derek Carr and two key cornerbacks. Flacco had struggled to get the ball downfield in losses the past two weeks. He changed that on the opening drive of the game for the Ravens when he connected on a 52-yard pass to Wallace that set up an early touchdown and established the tone for the day. Raiders backup quarterback E.J. Manuel, making his fourth start in the past three seasons, finished 13-for-26 for 159 yards.

SEAHAWKS 16, RAMS 10

Russell Wilson passed for 198 yards and a touchdown, and Earl Thomas forced two of the Rams’ five turnovers in Seattle’s win. Jimmy Graham scored late in the first half in a defense-dominated win for the Seahawks. Thomas stripped the ball from Todd Gurley at the goal line to kill the Rams’ opening drive, and he intercepted Jared Goff’s fluttering pass at midfield with 6:02 to play. Sheldon Richardson also came through with two big plays, diving to intercept a deflected pass in the third quarter before scooping up Goff’s fumble near midfield with 2:45 left. Goff moved the Rams 55 yards in the final 1:09, but Seattle’s defense made its final stop. Rams rookie Cooper Kupp barely missed a diving TD grab on third down, and Goff’s fourth-down pass to Kupp was too low. Tavon Austin rushed for a 27-yard TD for Los Angeles, and Goff went 22of-47 for 288 yards with three costly turnovers.
