WEEK 5 RECAPS

RAVENS 26, STEELERS 23 (OT)

After Pittsburgh quarterback Mason Rudolph was knocked unconscious by a head-high hit in the third quarter, Justin Tucker made a 46-yard field goal in overtime to lift the Ravens to victory. Baltimore snapped a two-game skid after safety Marlon Humphrey stripped Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster and recovered the fumble at the Pittsburgh 34. Tucker knocked through the winner four plays later. He also forced overtime with a field goal 14 seconds from the end of regulation. Lamar Jackson threw for 161 yards with a touchdown and three interceptions and also ran for a game-high 70 yards. Mark Ingram ran for a touchdown for the Ravens.

PACKERS 34, COWBOYS 24

Aaron Jones scored a career-high four touchdowns, and Aaron Rodgers zipped a sidearm throw to Robert Tonyan to fix one broken play, flipped a left-hander to Tra Carson to rescue another and helped Green Bay remain undefeated. For Dallas, Dak Prescott (463 passing yards) and Amari Cooper (226 receiving yards) set career highs trying to keep things interesting in the fourth quarter. The last hope for Dallas ended with 1:41 left when Brett Maher missed his second field-goal try — a 33-yarder that would have given the Cowboys a shot at an onside kick down seven.

BRONCOS 20, CHARGERS 13

Phillip Lindsay ran for 114 yards, and Denver’s defense forced three turnovers as the Broncos got their first win under first-year coach Vic Fangio. Joe Flacco completed 14 of 20 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown as Denver raced to a 17-0 lead in the second quarter and held on for the 500th victory in franchise history. Los Angeles struggled most of the day and had two turnovers inside the Denver 5. The Chargers got within 17-10 midway through the fourth quarter, but Denver’s Brandon McManus put it out of reach with a 46-yard field goal with 1:55 remaining.

RAIDERS 24, BEARS 21

Josh Jacobs scored his second touchdown of the game with a leap from the 2-yard line with 1:57 to play, capping a 97-yard drive that helped the Raiders rally after blowing a 17-point lead. The touchdown was part of a roller-coaster game that delighted the sellout crowd in London. The Raiders broke out to a 17-0 halftime lead only to fall behind the Bears in a mistake-filled third quarter. Then Oakland fumbled at the goal line when going in for the go-ahead score, needed a replay review to overturn a fumble on a successful fake punt on the winning drive, then intercepted Chicago backup Chase Daniel with 1:14 to go to seal the victory. It sure didn’t come easy, but made Oakland’s weeklong stay in England a successful one, ended by a satisfying victory in the Raiders’ first game against the Bears since dealing star edge rusher Khalil Mack to Chicago before last season.

SAINTS 31, BUCCANEERS 24

Teddy Bridgewater passed for 314 yards and four touchdowns to remain unbeaten in three starts for the Saints this season. With Bridgewater getting increasingly accustomed to playing for the injured Drew Brees, he had his best game yet for New Orleans against a Tampa Bay defense that entered the game ranked second to last in the NFL against the pass. Bridgewater completed 26 of 34 passes, with his two touchdown throws to Michael Thomas and one each to Jared Cook and Ted Ginn Jr. Tampa Bay’s secondary struggled to stay with Thomas, who finished with 11 catches for 182 yards. Bucs QB Jameis Winston was 15-of-27 for 204 yards and two touchdowns to Chris Godwin. But Winston could not connect with receiver Mike Evans, who was Winston’s intended target just three times and did not have a catch.

PATRIOTS 33, REDSKINS 7

Tom Brady picked apart the lowly Redskins, helped the Patriots stay unbeaten and climbed past a former NFL star in the record book. Brady threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns, and the Patriots got another strong performance from their defense. Now in his 20th season, Brady whisked by Brett Favre into third place on the career list with 71,923 yards passing. Playing for the first time since breaking his leg against Philadelphia last December, Redskins quarterback Colt McCoy went 18-for-27 for 119 yards and an interception. McCoy was sacked six times, marking the first time in franchise history New England has four straight games with at least five sacks.

PANTHERS 34, JAGUARS 27

Christian McCaffrey tied a career high with 237 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns, and Brian Burns returned a fumble 56 yards for a touchdown and had a strip-sack in the fourth quarter. McCaffrey set a franchise record with an 84-yard TD run and scored on a 5-yard run when he somersaulted into the end zone. He also caught an 18-yard TD pass from Kyle Allen before leaving with five minutes remaining after cramping. McCaffrey’s seldom-used replacement, Reggie Bonnafon, had a 59-yard run to put Carolina up seven with 3:34 left.

CARDINALS 26, BENGALS 23

Rookie Kyler Murray ran for a touchdown and led the Cardinals on a drive to Zane Gonzalez’s 31-yard field goal on the final play as the Cardinals got their first win under first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray ran 6 yards for Arizona’s first score and saved the Cardinals after a late defensive collapse. Andy Dalton threw a pair of TD passes that tied it 23-23 with 2:00 to go. That’s when Murray took the game into his hands. He completed a 24-yard pass to David Johnson and scrambled 24 yards to get in range for Gonzalez’s fourth field goal. Murray ran for a career-high 93 yards and completed 20 of 32 passes for 253 yards.

EAGLES 31, JETS 6

Nate Gerry returned an interception for a score and Orlando Scandrick took a strip-sack the distance. Carson Wentz threw for 189 yards and one touchdown. Jordan Howard ran for 62 yards and one TD. Luke Falk threw two interceptions and was sacked nine times before leaving late in the game and being replaced by David Fales, who was re-signed by the Jets on Friday. Gerry gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead in the first quarter when he jumped in front of Falk’s fourth-down pass and returned it 51 yards. Scandric had two sacks on corner blitzes. He stole the ball from Falk on the second one and ran it back 44 yards to make it 31-6 in the fourth quarter.

VIKINGS 28, GIANTS 10

Kirk Cousins threw two TD passes to Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook ran for 132 yards and the Vikings made life miserable for Daniel Jones. The Vikings gained 490 yards on offense, and their defense limited New York to 211 yards, sacked Jones four times and hit him countless other times. That defense also chipped in with a safety when linebacker Anthony Barr tackled Jon Hilliman in the end zone after New York recovered Cook’s fumble at the 1. Cousins completed 22 of 27 for a season-high 306 yards and had touchdown passes of 15 and 9 yards to Thielen.
