-

CINCINNATI >> Mason Crosby hit a 49-yard field goal in overtime after missing three straight attempts, lifting the Green Bay Packers to a wild 25-22 win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

The typically reliable Crosby missed potential winners with 2:12 and then 3 seconds left in regulation, and missed another attempt in overtime before finally winning it. Heading into the game he was 44 of 46 on field-goal attempts since the start of the 2019 season. BUCCANEERS 45, DOLPHINS 17>> Tom Brady threw for 411 yards and five touchdowns, Antonio Brown became the fastest NFL player to 900 receptions, and Tampa Bay rolled past Miami.

SAINTS 33, WASHINGTON 22>> Jameis Winston connected on a Hail Mary for one of his four touchdown passes to help New Orleans beat Washington, a bounce-back victory that came at a cost with two more injuries.

STEELERS 27, BRONCOS 19 >> Ben Roethlisbe­rger threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Najee Harris ran for a careerbest 122 yards and Pittsburgh beat Denver to snap a three-game losing streak.

Riding the kind of balance that’s been rare during a sluggish opening month, the Steelers handed the Broncos (3-2) a second straight loss.

VIKINGS 19, LIONS 17 >> Greg Joseph made a 54-yard field goal as time expired, and Minnesota topped winless Detroit after Lions coach Dan Campbell successful­ly called for the goahead 2-point conversion try with 37 seconds left.

EAGLES 21, PANTHERS 18 >> Jalen Hurts ran for two second-half touchdowns and Philadelph­ia rallied from a 12-point deficit to beat Carolina and snap a threegame losing streak.

TITANS 37, JAGUARS 19 >> Derrick Henry ran for 130 yards and three touchdowns, Kevin Byard returned a fumble for a score and Tennessee sent Jacksonvil­le to its 20th consecutiv­e loss.

PATRIOTS 25, TEXANS 22>> Rookie Mac Jones threw a touchdown pass to tie the game in the fourth quarter, and Nick Folk’s 21-yard field goal with 15 seconds left lifted New England over Houston.

JETS 27, FALCONS 20 >> Matt Ryan threw for 342 yards and two touchdowns, including the first score for rookie Kyle Pitts, and Atlanta closed out New York in the NFL’s return to London.

The Falcons (2-3) built a 20-3 halftime lead and eventually secured the victory despite allowing the Jets to stick around by losing two fumbles.
