N.Y. Jets 30 Titans 8 Ryan Fitzpatrick threw three touchdown passes and New York’s stingy defence stifled Marcus Mariota and the Titans’ offence for most of the game. Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Bilal Powell each caught TD passes for the Jets ( 8- 5), who stayed on track in the AFC playoff race with their first threegame winning streak since 2011. Fitzpatrick, who has set a single- season career high with 25 touchdown throws, finished 21 of 36 for 263 yards. Oakland 15 Denver 12 Khalil Mack had five sacks of Brock Osweiler, including one in the end zone for a safety, and Derek Carr bounced back from an awful first half to lead the Raiders past the Broncos. Carr threw two touchdown passes and the Raiders ( 6- 7) beat the Broncos for the first time since Sept. 12, 2011, despite being held to minus- 12 yards in the first half — the worst performance by a team heading into halftime in nearly a quarter- century. The Broncos ( 10- 3) failed to hold onto a 12- 0 halftime lead. Green Bay 28 Dallas 7 Eddie Lacy ran for 124 yards and a touchdown, fellow running back James Starks added two scores as the Packers beat the Cowboys. The Packers ( 9- 4) have a one- game lead in the NFC North over Minnesota after their second straight victory. With 435 yards and 29 first downs, Green Bay got better production out of its inconsistent offence with coach Mike McCarthy assuming play- calling duties again. The Packers were still hampered at times by penalties and problems in short-yardage situations. Philadelphia 23 Buffalo 20 Caleb Sturgis kicked a 30-yard field goal with 3: 26 left, then Ed Reynolds intercepted Tyrod Taylor’s pass in the final minutes. LeSean McCoy had 74 yards rushing and 35 receiving in his return to Philadelphia after an off- season trade to the Bills. The Eagles ( 6- 7) and Redskins ( 6- 7) are tied atop the NFC East standings. Washington won 24- 21 in Chicago. The New York Giants ( 5- 7) could make it a three-way tie with a win at Miami on Monday night. The Bills ( 6- 7) fell two games behind in the AFC wild- card race. Taylor’s streak of 222 passes without a pick ended when his deep pass went right to Reynolds with 1: 16 remaining.
