WEEK 6 RECAPS

RAVENS 34, CHARGERS 6

BALTIMORE — Lamar Jackson threw for 167 yards and a touchdown, and Baltimore frustrated Los Angeles quarterback Justin Herbert and his teammates in a victory. A week after scoring 47 points to beat Cleveland, the Chargers came up empty on their first five possessions and were held to fewer than 16 points for only the second time since drafting Herbert before last season as the Ravens completely controlled this matchup of division leaders. Each of Baltimore’s three veteran running backs — Le’Veon Bell, Devonta Freeman and Latavius Murray — scored a touchdown, and Jackson was 19-of 27 passing with two interceptions. Herbert was 22-of-39 for 195 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

JAGUARS 23, DOLPHINS 20

LONDON — Jacksonville ended its 20-game losing streak when Matthew Wright kicked a 53-yard field goal as time expired. Trevor Lawrence connected on a short slant pass to Laviska Shenault Jr., and the Jags called a timeout with a second left after Miami gambled on fourth-and-1 from its 46 and was short. Lawrence threw for 319 yards and a touchdown as he and coach Urban Meyer each earned his first NFL victory — even if it took a trip to England to get it done in a “home” game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

VIKINGS 34, PANTHERS 28, OT

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kirk Cousins completed a 27-yard touchdown pass to K.J. Osborn on the first possession of overtime. Cousins threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns against the league’s top-ranked pass defense, Dalvin Cook ran for 140 yards and a score, and the Vikings finally solved their second-half offensive woes. Adam Thielen had a number of big catches, finishing with 11 receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown. Sam Darnold was 17-of-41 for 207 yards with one touchdown for the Panthers.

CHIEFS 31, WASHINGTON 13

LANDOVER, Md. — Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes threw for 397 yards and engineered three second-half touchdown drives to compensate for a pair of first-half picks. Mahomes connected with Tyreek Hill on a 2-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter, then put the game out of reach by completing a 24-yarder to Demarcus Robinson with 3:14 left in the fourth.

PACKERS 24, BEARS 14

CHICAGO — Aaron Rodgers threw for two scores and ran for another as Green Bay beat the Bears for the 20th time in 23 games (counting playoffs) and improved to 22-5 with Rodgers as the starter against Chicago. Rodgers shook off a sluggish start, throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard in the second quarter and a 12-yarder to Aaron Jones in the third. Rodgers put away the Bears after Justin Fields’ 5-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Mooney cut the lead to three with 8:44 left. He scored from the 6 to cap a 75-yard drive, bumping the lead back to 10. He then turned toward the crowd and yelled, “I still own you! I still own you!”

COWBOYS 35, PATRIOTS 29, OT

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Dak Prescott threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to CeeDee Lamb in overtime, and Dallas survived a wild finish to win. Dallas hadn’t won at New England since 1987 and was 0-5 against Patriots coach Bill Belichick. The Cowboys have won five straight, their longest streak since 2016. New England was clinging to a 21-20 lead when Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs intercepted Mac Jones and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown — his seventh pick and second pick-six of the season — to put Dallas ahead 26-20. On the next play from scrimmage, Jones hit Kendrick Bourne for a 75-yard score, then hit Jakobi Meyers for the 2-point conversion. But Prescott led the Cowboys on a 40-yard drive and Greg Zuerlein’s 49-yard field goal sent it to overtime.

RAIDERS 34, BRONCOS 24

DENVER — Derek Carr sliced up the Denver defense for 341 yards and two touchdowns, Maxx Crosby had three sacks and the Raiders started the post-Jon Gruden era with a victory. The Raiders gave longtime special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia a win in his debut as interim head coach and offensive coordinator Greg Olson was masterful in his first play calling duties for Las Vegas since Carr’s rookie season in 2014.

RAMS 38, GIANTS 11

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Matthew Stafford threw three of his four touchdown passes in a 28-point second quarter, connecting with Cooper Kupp from 3 and 13 yards and finding Robert Woods for a 15-yard score and running back Darrell Henderson on a 25-yarder. Stafford, who has 16 touchdown passes in six games, was 22-of-28 for 251 yards.

CARDINALS 37, BROWNS 14

CLEVELAND — Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes as the Cardinals remained the NFL’s only unbeaten team and continued their best start since 1974. The Cardinals built a 20-0 lead in the first half and kept their perfect record intact despite not having coach Kliff Kingsbury or star linebacker Chandler Jones, who both tested positive for COVID-19.

COLTS 31, TEXANS 3

INDIANAPOLIS — Carson Wentz threw two touchdown passes, Jonathan Taylor ran for two and the Indianapolis defense held up for an AFC South victory. The Colts rebounded from an embarrassing fourth-quarter collapse at Baltimore by winning for the second time in three weeks. Houston has lost five straight overall and six of its past seven against the Colts.

BENGALS 34, LIONS 11

DETROIT — Joe Burrow tied a career high with three touchdown passes, helping the Bengals equal last year’s number of wins (four) and double their victories from 2019 during coach Zac Taylor’s debut season. Winless Detroit could not rally as it did in closely contested setbacks against San Francisco, Baltimore and Minnesota, failing to score until Austin Seibert made a 35yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter.
