Minshew steps in, guides Eagles to victory over Jets

Gardner Minshew started in place of injured quarterback Jalen Hurts and led clock-eating Philadelphia to scores on its first seven possessions in a 33-18 victory over the host New York Jets.

Minshew was 20 of 25 passing for 242 yards and two TDS to tight end Dallas Goedert. Kenneth Gainwell ran for a score, and Jake Elliott kicked four field goals for the Eagles (6-7), who moved to 12-0 against the Jets (3-9).

Miles Sanders ran for 120 yards on 24 carries for Philadelphia before exting with a fourth-quarter ankle injury. New York held the ball for only 70 seconds of the third quarter — just three plays for 3 yards.

The teams each scored TDS on their first three possessions, the first time since the Elias Sports Bureau began tracking in 1978 that each team scored TDS on their first three drives.

Rams 37, Jaguars 7: At Inglewood, Calif., Matthew Stafford threw for 295 yards and three TDS with no turnovers for Los Angeles (8-4), which halted a three-game slide. Sony Michel ran for 121 yards and a TD, the Rams’ first 100-yard rushing effort this season. Jacksonville (2-10) totaled 197 yards of offense in its fourth straight loss. Jaguars rookie Trevor Lawrence threw for 145 yards.

Dolphins 20, Giants 9: At Miami Gardens, Fla., Tua Tagovailoa threw for 244 yards and two TDS for Miami (6-7), which won its fifth straight while allowing 55 points in the five games. Graham Gano kicked three field goals for New York (48), which lost quarterback Mike Glennon to a concussion. Glennon started in place of injured starter Daniel Jones (neck).
