Tucker’s record FG gives Ravens win
Justin Tucker set an NFL record with a 66-yard field goal, bouncing it through off the crossbar as time expired to lift the Baltimore Ravens to a 19-17 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
The kick topped the 64yard field goal Matt Prater made for Denver against Tennessee on Dec. 8, 2013.
Lamar Jackson threw a 36yard pass to Sammy Watkins on fourth-and-19 to get the Ravens across midfield with 7 seconds left. The superstar quarterback spiked the ball and threw it away on the next two snaps.
Rams 34, Buccaneers 24 — Matthew Stafford passed for 343 yards and four touchdowns as he outdueled Tom Brady.
Tom Brady threw for 432 yards for Tampa Bay, joining Drew Brees as the only quarterbacks to throw for more than 80,000.
Chargers 30, Chiefs 24 — The Chargers capitalized on four Kansas City turnovers, including Patrick Mahomes’ second interception in the closing minutes, and Justin Herbert’s touchdown toss to Mike Williams with 32 seconds to go lifted Los Angeles to a victory.
Herbert finished with 281 yards passing and four touchdowns without an interception, outdueling Mahomes in a matchup not only of two of the game’s best young quarterbacks but two teams expected to compete for the AFC West title.
Titans 25, Colts 16 — Ryan Tannehill threw for 197 yards and three touchdowns and Tennessee held off Indianapolis to grab an early tiebreaker in the AFC South.
The road team had won the previous five games in this division rivalry, but the Titans are the defending AFC South champs with a healthy Derrick Henry. The reigning AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year ran for 113 yards, topping the 100-yard mark for a sixth straight division game.
Bills 43, Washington 21 — Josh Allen threw four touchdown passes and scored another TD rushing in Buffalo’s rout.
Allen, who had been unhappy with his inconsistencies and 56% completion percentage through two games, finished 32 of 43 for 358 yards, while also surpassing the 100-touchdown plateau (including TDs rushing and one receiving) in his 47th career start.
It marked Allen’s fifth career game with four TDs passing and 300 yards passing, one more than the team record held by Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.
Browns 26, Bears 6 — Myles Garrett recorded a franchise-record 4 1/2 sacks on Justin Fields and Cleveland brought down Chicago’s rookie quarterback nine times — holding him to one net yard passing — in his first NFL start.
Bengals 24, Steelers 10 — Joe Burrow threw for 178 yards and three touchdowns, including two to rookie Ja’Marr Chase, and Cincinnati handled Pittsburgh.
Burrow connected on a 17yard strike to Tyler Boyd and found Chase for 34-yard and 9-yard scores as the Bengals won at Heinz Field for the first time since 2015.
Falcons 17, Giants 14 — Younghoe Koo kicked a 40yard field goal on the final play for Atlanta to give coach Arthur Smith his first NFL win.
It marked the second straight week the Giants lost on the final play of the game.
Cardinals 31, Jaguars 19 — Byron Murphy intercepted two passes, including one he returned for a touchdown following a botched trick play, and Arizona rallied to beat skidding Jacksonville.
The Jaguars lost their 18th straight game, leaving them eight shy of the NFL record for futility.
Raiders 31, Dolphins 28 — Daniel Carlson’s 22-yard field goal as time expired in overtime lifted Las Vegas over Miami.
It marked the second time in the Raiders’ first three games — both at home — they overcame a two-touchdown deficit to win in overtime. They also did so against Baltimore in Week 1.
Vikings 30, Seahawks 17 — Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes before halftime for Minnesota and guided three clock-draining field goal drives after that.
The Vikings beat Seattle for the first time in 12 years.
Broncos 26, Jets 0 — Von Miller led a Denver defense that sacked Zach Wilson five times, intercepted him twice and limited the rookie to 160 yards passing.
Denver is off to its first 3-0 start in five seasons thanks in part to a soft September schedule. But the victory could prove costly: The Broncos lost three more players to injuries, giving them seven so far.
