WEEK 14 RECAPS

BUCCANEERS 33, BILLS 27, OT

TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Bay quarterback Tom Brady became the NFL’s all-time completions leader and threw his 700th career touchdown pass for the winning score as the reigning Super Bowl champions beat Buffalo in overtime. Brady passed for 363 yards and two touchdowns, and he also scored on a quarterback sneak set up by the 7,143rd completion of an unmatched 22-year career that includes seven Super Bowl wins. The Bucs won on Breshad Perriman’s 58-yard catch with 5:31 left in OT — the 700th touchdown pass of Brady’s career, including playoffs. Despite blowing a 21-point halftime lead, the Bucs won for the fourth straight game and moved closer to clinching their first NFC South Division title since 2007. Brady, who ruled Buffalo and won 17 AFC East titles during a two-decade stint with the New England Patriots, improved to 33-3 against the Bills. He broke Drew Brees’ record for most career completions late in the second quarter and finished 31-of-46. Buffalo’s Josh Allen shrugged off a slow start to throw for 308 yards and two touchdowns; he also ran for 109 yards and a score.

49ERS 26, BENGALS 23, OT

CINCINNATI — Jimmy Garoppolo threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk to win it after San Francisco blew a big lead. Garoppolo completed five passes in the overtime drive, including a pair to tight end George Kittle, who was again San Francisco’s offensive star. On the final play, Aiyuk dived to the pylon and was initially ruled short, but a replay gave him the touchdown and San Francisco a critical win. Evan McPherson hit a 41-yard field goal in the opening possession of overtime to give the Bengals a brief lead, their first of the day. San Francisco’s Robbie Gould missed a 47-yard field-goal try with four seconds left in regulation that would have won it.

CHIEFS 48, RAIDERS 9

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Patrick Mahomes threw his first two touchdown passes in nearly a month, Clyde Edwards-Helaire added two scores on the ground, and Kansas City forced five turnovers while rolling to a record-setting victory over Las Vegas. Derek Gore’s 51-yard touchdown run with 7:19 left in the fourth quarter allowed the Chiefs to eclipse the largest margin of victory in a series that began in 1960 and has been played 126 times. The previous record was 35 points in 1964. Tyrann Mathieu had an interception and a fumble recovery, Mike Hughes returned a fumble 23 yards for a score, and the reigning AFC champs built a 35-0 first-half lead before cruising to their sixth straight win. The Raiders’ Derek Carr passed for 266 yards, much of it to Hunter Renfrow, who caught 13 of 14 targets for 117 yards and a score.

CHARGERS 37, GIANTS 21

INGLEWOOD, Calif — Justin Herbert threw for three touchdowns and Dustin Hopkins added three field goals for the Chargers, who are a game behind the Chiefs going into Thursday night’s pivotal AFC West matchup. Herbert also reached a trio of milestones: He is the first player to reach 30 touchdown passes in his first two NFL seasons, has the most completions by a player through his first two seasons (734) and is the second-fastest player to reach 8,000 career yards (28 games). Herbert was 16-of-22 for 204 yards and a touchdown as the Chargers took a 24-7 lead into halftime. His final throw of the first half was a 59-yard touchdown to Jalen Guyton. Giants quarterback Mike Glennon, starting for the second straight week with Daniel Jones out with a neck injury, was 17-of-36 for 191 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

BROWNS 24, RAVENS 22

CLEVELAND — Baker Mayfield threw two touchdown passes, defensive star Myles Garrett scored his first career touchdown and the Browns stayed in the thick of the playoff race. Mayfield connected with Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper on first-half scores as the Browns bounced back and beat the Ravens after losing to them 15 days earlier. Garrett returned a fumble 15 yards for his first score as an NFL player. Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson exited with an ankle injury in the first quarter and didn’t return.

COWBOYS 27, WASHINGTON 20

LANDOVER, Md. — Micah Parsons sacked Taylor Heinicke twice and forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, helping the Cowboys make good on coach Mike McCarthy’s guarantee of winning. Washington’s streak of wins was snapped at four. Dallas led 24-0 and 27-8 before Kyle Allen replaced Heinicke and led a 73-yard touchdown drive. Then Cole Holcomb intercepted Dak Prescott and ran it back for a pick-six. Washington’s comeback bid came to an end when Allen fumbled with 2:24 remaining.

SEAHAWKS 33, TEXANS 13

HOUSTON — Russell Wilson threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns as the Seahawks won consecutive games for the first time this season. Coach Pete Carroll earned his 150th regular-season win a week after Seattle beat San Francisco 30-23. Wilson threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett in the second quarter, and his 1-yard pass to Gerald Everett and 2-point conversion to Lockett made it 27-13 with less than eight minutes left. Lockett had 142 receiving yards to give him 1,023 this season. He joins Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve Largent as the only players in franchise history to have at least 1,000 receiving yards in three straight seasons.

SAINTS 30, JETS 9

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Alvin Kamara ran for 120 yards and a score in his return from a four-game absence, and the Saints snapped a five-game losing streak. Taysom Hill ran for two scores and shook off a banged-up finger on his throwing hand to pass for 175 yards for the Saints, whose skid was their longest since Sean Payton took over as coach in 2006. Brett Maher added three field goals and the defense stifled Zach Wilson and New York’s short-handed offense as the Jets were eliminated from playoff contention.

BRONCOS 38, LIONS 10

DENVER — Broncos running backs Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon each scored twice, and Dre’Mont Jones had a monster game that included two sacks of Jared Goff. Several Broncos arrived at the stadium wearing No. 88 jerseys and kicker Brandon McManus wore custom cleats featuring the famous mile-wide smile of Demaryius Thomas, the retired receiver who died at his Georgia home Thursday at age 33. Denver took the field with just 10 men in honor of Thomas. The Lions declined the delay-of-game penalty.
