AROUND THE NFL
EAGLES 20, CARDINALS 17
Jalen Hurts ran for two touchdowns and Philadelphia remained the NFL’s only unbeaten team, surviving against Arizona after Matt Ammendola’s late 43-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide right. The Eagles improved to 5-0 for the first time since 2004, when they won their first seven games and finished 13-3. The Cardinals never led, but looked as if they would push the game into overtime before Ammendola missed.
RAVENS 19, BENGALS 17
Justin Tucker kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final play to lift Baltimore over Cincinnati and into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Tucker also made a 58-yard kick in the third quarter, and even when the Ravens fell behind 17-16 on Joe Burrow’s 1-yard sneak with 1:58 remaining, they could feel confident because they only needed a field goal. Tucker’s gamewinner extended his streak to 61 straight successful field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime.
CHARGERS 30, BROWNS 28
Rookie Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 11 seconds left, and Los Angeles held on to beat Cleveland after coach Brandon Staley inexplicably gambled on a fourth down. York’s kick sailed right and allowed the Chargers to escape with a win.
49ERS 37, PANTHERS 15
Jimmy Garoppolo threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, Emmanuel Moseley returned an interception 41 yards for a score and San Francisco beat Carolina. Jeff Wilson ran for 120 yards and a touchdown and Tevin Coleman scored twice for the 49ers after being elevated to the active roster this week.
BUCCANEERS 21, FALCONS 15
Tom Brady threw for 351 yards and a touchdown as Tampa Bay beat Atlanta to end a two-game skid. Brady completed 35 of 52 passes without an interception, avoiding his first three-game losing streak since 2002, when he was with the Patriots. Leonard Fournette scored two TDs for the Bucs on a 1-yard run and a 1-yard reception.
VIKINGS 29, BEARS 22
Kirk Cousins scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 2:26 remaining and Minnesota snapped out of its mid-game slump in time to beat Chicago. Cameron Dantzler sealed the victory that put the Vikings alone in first place in the NFC North by ripping the ball away from former teammate Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
PATRIOTS 29, LIONS 0
Rookie Bailey Zappe threw a touchdown pass in his first career start and Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for a career-high 161 yards as New England blanked Detroit. Kyle Dugger returned a fumble 59 yards for a touchdown for the Patriots, whose defense and ground game gave Zappe plenty of support.
SAINTS 39, SEAHAWKS 32
Taysom Hill ran for three touchdowns and threw for another as New Orleans beat Seattle to snap a three-game skid. Hill had a 60-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The versatile player, who’s listed as a tight end, also rushed for touchdowns of 8 and 9 yards, and completed the only pass he’s attempted this season for a 22-yard score to fellow tight end Adam Trautman. Geno Smith passed for 268 yards and three scores.
TITANS 21, COMMANDERS 17
Derrick Henry rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown and Tennessee made a last-minute goal-line stand to beat Washington. David Long Jr. intercepted Carson Wentz at the 1-yard line with 6 seconds left.
TEXANS 13, JAGUARS 6
Dameon Pierce ran for 99 yards and a touchdown, a score set up by the rookie’s 20-yard gain in which he broke six tackles, and Houston picked up its first win of the season.
