Chiefs top Eagles as Andy hits milestone back in Philly
PHILADELPHIA — Patrick Mahomes threw five touchdown passes, including three to Tyreek Hill, and the Chiefs beat the Eagles, 42-30, on Sunday.
Andy Reid returned to Philadelphia and earned his 100th career victory with the Chiefs, becoming the first coach in NFL history to win 100 games with two teams. Reid’s 140 victories with the Eagles are the most in franchise history.
Jalen Hurts threw for a career-high 387 yards and two TDs but Philadelphia (1-3) couldn’t keep up with Kansas City’s high-powered offense. The Eagles saw three touchdowns negated by penalty and settled for field goals three times inside the red zone.
BILLS 40, TEXANS 0
Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds hauled in the first of host Buffalo’s four interceptions, and the Bills suffocated the offensively inept Texans.
Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, Ezekiel Elliott notched his first 100-yard rushing game of the season against the NFL’s No. 1 defense and the host Cowboys handed the Panthers their first loss.
Elliott finished with 143 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries as the Cowboys (3-1) rolled up 245 yards on the ground after the Panthers allowed just 135 total in the first three games.
Leading the Panthers in their first full game without injured star running back Christian McCaffrey, Sam Darnold rushed for two touchdowns to become the first quarterback in NFL history with at least five TDs on the ground in the first four games.
Micah Hyde, Tyler Matakevich and Jaquan Johnson, in his first career start, each intercepted passes, while Cam Lewis forced a fumble as Buffalo overwhelmed rookie quarterback Davis Mills in his second career start.
BEARS 24, LIONS 14
In Chicago, rookie Justin Fields brushed off a nightmarish first start, and the Bears bounced back from one of the worst offensive performances the NFL has seen to beat the winless Lions.
COLTS 27, DOLPHINS 17
Carson Wentz threw a pair of touchdown passes to Mo Alie-Cox, Jonathan Taylor rushed for 103 yards and a score and the Colts got their first win of the season by topping the sputtering Dolphins.
Wentz completed 24 of 32 passes for 228 yards for the visiting Colts (1-3), who avoided what would have been their first 0-4 start since 2011. They spent most of the day frustrating former Indianapolis quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who completed 20 of 30 passes but threw for 123 of his 199 yards in the final quarter.
BROWNS 14, VIKINGS 7
Myles Garrett and the Cleveland defense produced another dominant performance, giving coach Kevin Stefanski a victory over his old team as the Browns beat the host Vikings.
Garrett was credited with one-half of Cleveland’s two sacks and four hits on Kirk Cousins, Greedy Williams became the first player this season to intercept Minnesota’s quarterback and the Browns (3-1) again leaned on their two-pronged rushing attack with predictable success.
WASHINGTON 34, FALCONS 30
Taylor Heinicke ad-libbed a 30-yard touchdown pass to J.D. McKissic with 33 seconds remaining, rallying the Washington Football Team to a 34-30 victory over the Falcons in Atlanta.
SEAHAWKS 28, 49ERS 21
Russell Wilson overcame a shaky start
GETTY to throw for two touchdowns and run for a third and the visiting Seahawks rebounded from back-to-back losses by beating San Francisco.
CARDINALS 37, RAMS 20
Kyler Murray passed for 268 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 39 more yards in a virtuoso performance, and the Cardinals extended their longest unbeaten start since 2012 with a victory over the host Rams.
RAVENS 23, BRONCOS 7
In Denver, Lamar Jackson threw for 316 yards, including a 49-yard touchdown pass to a diving Marquis Brown, and the Ravens used a relentless defense to swat the Broncos from the ranks of the unbeaten.
PACKERS 27, STEELERS 17
Aaron Rodgers connected with Randall Cobb for two touchdowns and ran for another score as the host Packers won their third straight.
