■ Steelers 27, Jaguars 3: Terrell Edmunds and Minkah Fitzpatric­k each picked off rookie QB Jake Luton twice and the visiting Steelers steamrolle­d their way to a 10-0 record. Ben Roethlisbe­rger threw for 267 yards with two TDs in the victory. The Jags (1-9) tied their single-season record by losing a ninth straight game.

■ Saints 24, Falcons 9: Taysom Hill rushed for two TDs and passed for 233 yards in his first career start at QB, and the host Saints secured their seventh straight victory. Drew Brees will miss at least three games with multiple rib fractures. Cameron Jordan had three of eight sacks for the Saints, who also picked off Falcons QB Matt Ryan twice.

■ Browns 22, Eagles 17: Nick Chubb ran for 114 yards, including a dazzling 54-yard carry that came shortly before a 5-yard score by Kareem Hunt and the Browns held on at home to improve to 7-3. With Myles Garrett out with COVID-19, Olivier Vernon stepped up and recorded three sacks and a safety in the victory. LB Sione Takitaki added a 50-yard INT return for a score.

■ Panthers 20, Lions 0: P.J. Walker, a former XFL player, threw for 258 yards and a TD in his first NFL start and the Panthers defense earned its first shutout since 2015. The hosts snapped a five-game skid. The Lions were shut out for the first time since Oct. 18, 2009.

■ Chargers 34, Jets 28: Keenan Allen set a Chargers record with 16 receptions and rookie QB Justin Herbert threw for 366 yards and three TDs as the Chargers sent the visiting Jets to a franchise-worst 0-10. Allen tied Antonio Brown as the fastest to reach 600 receptions. Both reached the mark in their 96th game. It was also Allen’s sixth game with 13 or more receptions, the most by a player in NFLhistory. He had 145 yards receiving and a 13-yard TD.

■ Broncos 20, Dolphins 13: Justin Simmons intercepte­d Ryan Fitzpatric­k’s pass in the end zone with 63 seconds left to lift the host Broncos. It was the Dolphins’ first loss in six games.

■ Texans 27, Patriots 20: Deshaun Watson threw for 344 yards and accounted for three TDs, and J.J. Watt defended a career-high four passes in the win at home. It was the Texans’ first victory of the season against a team besides the division-rival Jaguars. It’s the first time since 2009 that the Patriots (4-6) will have at least six losses in a regular season.

■ Washington 20, Bengals 9: Alex Smith led a go-ahead, 55-yard scoring drive that ended with a 3-yard TD pass to Steven Sims to lift host Washington. It was just the second start for the 36-year-old Smith since breaking his right tibia and fibula just over two years ago. Bengals rookie QB Joe Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick of the draft, suffered an apparent season-ending left knee injury. ■ Cowboys 31, Vikings 28: Andy Dalton returned from a two-game absence to throw three TD passes, hitting Dalton Schultz for a 2-yard score with 1:37 left to help the visiting Cowboys end a four-game skid.
