Barkley’s late TD helps Giants edge Packers in London
LONDON — Saquon Barkley took a direct snap and ran for a 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to cap the New York Giants’ 27-22 comeback victory over the Packers on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, spoiling Green Bay’s international debut.
Aaron Rodgers drove the Packers to the 6-yard line, but his pass on fourth-and-1 was swatted down at the line of scrimmage by safety Xavier McKinney with just over a minute left.
RAVENS 19, BENGALS 17
In Baltimore, Justin Tucker kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final play to lift the Ravens 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 (3-2) 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 game-winner extended his streak to 61 straight successful field goals in the fourth quarter and overtime.
VIKINGS 29, BEARS 22
In Minneapolis, Kirk Cousins scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak with 2:26 remaining and the Vikings snapped out of their mid-game slump in time to beat Chicago.
Cameron Dantzler sealed the victory that put the Vikings (4-1) alone in first place in the NFC North by ripping the ball away from former teammate Ihmir Smith-Marsette near the oneminute mark.
EAGLES 20, CARDINALS 17
In Glendale, Ariz., 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.
BUCCANEERS 21, FALCONS 15
In Tampa, Fla., Tom Brady threw for 351 yards and a touchdown as the Buccaneers 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 New England Patriots. Leonard Fournette scored two TDs for the Bucs (3-2) on a 1-yard run and a 1-yard reception.
CHARGERS 30, BROWNS 28
In Cleveland, rookie Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 11 seconds left, and Los Angeles held on to beat the Browns after coach Brandon Staley inexplicably gambled on a fourth down.
York’s kick sailed right and allowed the Chargers (3-2) to escape with a win.

In East Rutherford, N.J., Michael Carter scored on a pair of 1-yard touchdown runs and New York ran past Miami to snap a 12-game skid against AFC East opponents.
