WEEK 8 RECAPS

EAGLES 33, 49ERS 10

Carson Wentz tossed two touchdown passes, Jalen Mills had a pick-6 and NFL-leading Philadelphia beat winless San Francisco soundly on a sloppy, rainy Sunday. Wentz was 18-of-32 passing for 211 yards and one interception. He threw a 53-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery and a 1-yard TD pass to Zach Ertz. He leads the NFL with 19 TD passes, the most ever by an Eagles quarterback through eight games. San Francisco’s C.J. Beathard shoveled a 21-yard TD pass to Matt Breida and finished 17-of-36 for 167 yards with two interceptions in his second career start.

VIKINGS 33, BROWNS 16

Case Keenum threw for two TDs and Kai Forbath made four field goals in the last of four NFL games held this season in London. Adam Thielen made five catches for 98 yards and a touchdown for the NFC North-leading Vikings. Cleveland, without starting left tackle Joe Thomas, who’s injured, for the first time since 2006, scored first, taking a 6-0 lead on its second play from scrimmage before kicker Zane Gonzalez’s missed extra point. Middle linebacker Joe Schobert’s interception return to the Vikings’ 37-yard line led to an 11-yard reception by David Njoku and a 26-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Crowell.

SEAHAWKS 41, TEXANS 38

Russell Wilson hit Jimmy Graham for an 18-yard TD pass with 21 seconds left, his second scoring reception of the fourth quarter. Down 38-34 with 1:39 left and out of timeouts, Wilson took Seattle 80 yards in barely a minute. He hit Paul Richardson for 48 yards on a jump ball to start the drive, found Tyler Lockett for 19 yards, then drilled a strike to Graham for the winner. Wilson finished 26-of-41 passing for a career-high 452 yards and four TDs. In addition to his TD tosses to Richardson, he found Graham on a 1-yard TD pass with 5:41 left. Houston’s Deshaun Watson was nearly the equal of Wilson, throwing for 402 yards and four TDs. But the rookie couldn’t come up with a final answer and was intercepted by Richard Sherman with 7 seconds left on a heave.

COWBOYS 33, REDSKINS 19

Ezekiel Elliott ran for 150 yards and two scores, and the Cowboys took advantage of a blocked field goal return and three turnovers. Playing in a driving rainstorm that made it difficult to hold on to the ball, let alone throw it, Dak Prescott completed 14 of his 22 passes for 143 yards. Elliott carried the ball 33 times, scored twice for the second consecutive game, and surpassed 100 yards for the third week in a row. Washington QB Kirk Cousins lost one fumble and kick returner Chris Thompson lost another.

PATRIOTS 21, CHARGERS 13

Tom Brady passed for 333 yards and a touchdown, while Stephen Gostkowski added four field goals for New England. The Bolts got on the board first when Melvin Gordon found a seam on the outside and rumbled down the sideline for an 87-yard TD run. But the rest of the game was marked by the Chargers’ mistakes and inability to move the ball. New England got its lone touchdown via a 2-yard toss from Brady to Rob Gronkowski in the second quarter. The Patriots went 1-for-4 in the red zone, but they were able to cobble together the Gostkowki field goals and a safety.

BILLS 34, RAIDERS 4

Rookie linebacker Matt Milano scored on a 40-yard fumble return on a rain-slick field, and the Bills forced four turnovers. Tyrod Taylor threw a 6-yard TD pass to Andre Holmes and also scored on a 1-yard run for Buffalo. LeSean McCoy had a season-best 151 rushing yards and also scored on a 48-yard run. The Bills’ defense dominated despite missing two starting backs, and two days after trading its highest-priced player, defensive tackle Marcell Dareus, to Jacksonville. Milano scored the go-ahead touchdown, putting Buffalo up 14-7, with 32 seconds left in the first half. DeAndre’ Washington caught a short pass over the middle and turned upfield when he was struck by cornerback Leonard Johnson. The ball popped loose and flew directly into the hands of Milano, who returned it up the right sideline.

SAINTS 20, BEARS 12

Drew Brees completed 23 of 28 passes for 299 yards against a Bears defense that ranked sixth in pass defense for the Saints’ fifth straight win. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara each ran for TDs for New Orleans. Ingram finished with 99 yards from scrimmage, including 75 on the ground, but his two late fumbles kept the Bears in the game into the final minutes. Kamara had 76 yards from scrimmage, including 48 receiving.

BENGALS 24, COLTS 23

Cincinnati ineman Carlos Dunlap batted Jacoby Brissett’s pass into the air, grabbed the ball and ran 16 yards to the end zone for a game-turning touchdown. The defensive end excels at swatting away passes — he led NFL linemen last season — and changed the game with his third career score. The Bengals couldn’t protect their QB, Andy Dalton, or get much pressure on Brissett, whose second TD pass had put the Colts in position for a soothing road win. Instead, Dunlap snatched it away with 6:58 left, putting his team ahead to stay in a game with four lead changes. The Colts drove to a fourth-and-4 at the Cincinnati 48, and Brissett was hit as he threw an incompletion with 1:18 to go. Dalton was 17-of-29 for 243 yards with a pair of TDs.

PANTHERS 17, BUCCANEERS 3

Carolina’s defense didn’t allow a TD for the second straight week, helping the Panthers snap their losing streak at two games. QB Cam Newton rebounded from a subpar performance in a 14-point road loss to the Bears, leading a 17-play, 82-yard TD drive that consumed more than eight minutes of the opening quarter. He then completed three passes to Christian McCaffrey to set up a field goal for a 10-0 halftime lead. The Panthers put the game away in the fourth quarter, intercepting Jameis Winston twice, with Mike Adams’ pick leading to Newton’s 25-yard TD pass to Kelvin Benjamin to make it 17-3.
