NFL ROUNDUP » WEEK6

-

PITTSBURGH >> Not yet Cleveland. At least, not in Pittsburgh. James Conner ran for 101 yards and a touchdown and the Steelers battered the Browns in a 38- 7 blowout victory on Sunday to improve to 5- 0 for the first time since 1978. Ben Roethlisbe­rger added 162 yards passing and a score. Pittsburgh emphatical­ly ended Cleveland’s four- game winning streak and extended the Browns’ skid at Heinz Field to 17 and counting. BUCCANEERS 38, PACKERS 10

TAMPA, Fla. >> Tom Brady outplayed Aaron Rodgers in a rare meeting between the Super Bowl- winning quarterbac­ks. It was the 43- year- old Brady’s first signature victory since signing with the Bucs ( 4- 2) after a historic 20- year run with the New England Patriots, which included nine NFL title game appearance­s and six championsh­ips. BRONCOS 18, PATRIOTS 12

FOXBOROUGH, Mass >> Brandon McManus kicked six field goals and linebacker Malik Reed came up withabigsa­ck late inagame twicedelay­ed following positive coronaviru­s tests for both teams. Sunday’s game was originally scheduled for last week but got postponed twice, first by a day, then by seven. The delay was caused after multiple Patriots players tested positive for COVID- 19, including quarterbac­k Cam Newton and reigning Defensive Player of the Year cornerback Stephon Gilmore. TITANS 42, TEXANS 36, OT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. >> Derrick Henry took a direct snap and ran 5 yards for a touchdown 3: 30 into overtime and the Titans remained undefeated. The Titans ( 5- 0) overcame two turnovers, Stephen Gostkowski having a field goal blocked and missing another, and the defense giving up 335 yards passing and four touchdown passes to Deshaun Watson.

INDIANAPOL­IS >> After trailing 21- 0, Philip Rivers rallied the Colts with three touchdown passes, including the go- ahead score on the first play of the fourth quarter. It equaled the largest comeback in the franchise’s regularsea­son history. None of the previous four came at home, and the last time Indianapol­is ( 4- 2) achieved the feat came in 2003 at Tampa Bay. Only a 28- point comeback in the 2013 playoffs against Kansas City was a larger margin. DOLPHINS 24, JETS 0
