AROUND THE NFL

CHIEFS 41, BUCCANEERS 31

Patrick Mahomes threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns, including an electrifying jump pass to Clyde Edwards-Helaire, to lead the Chiefs to a victory in Tampa, Fla., over Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. Playing in a packed stadium only four days after Hurricane Ian ravaged portions of Florida, Mahomes had TD throws of 16 yards to Travis Kelce, 1 yard to Edwards-Helaire and 10 yards to Jody Fortson while making NFL history by reaching 20,000 yards passing faster than anyone else.

PACKERS 27, PATRIOTS 24, OT

Mason Crosby made a 31-yard field goal as time expired in overtime, and the Packers topped the Patriots in Green Bay, spoiling rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe’s NFL debut. Zappe, a fourth-round pick from Western Kentucky, played the majority of the game after Brian Hoyer left with a head injury. Zappe and the Patriots still played well enough to force overtime, but Aaron Rodgers bounced back from a dreadful first half to continue his recent home mastery of AFC teams.

VIKINGS 28, SAINTS 25

Greg Joseph kicked a 47-yard field goal with 24 seconds left and Minnesota hung on to beat New Orleans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London when Wil Lutz’s 61-yard tying attempt hit the left upright and then the crossbar as time expired.

EAGLES 29, JAGUARS 21

Miles Sanders ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns, Jalen Hurts threw for 204 yards and ran for a score and the undefeated Eagles spoiled former coach Doug Pederson’s return to Philadelphia with a win over the Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence threw for 174 yards and two touchdowns to Jamal Agnew. Lawrence was strip-sacked on the final drive of the game that sealed the win for the Eagles.

COWBOYS 25, COMMANDERS 10

Cooper Rush won again filling in for Dak Prescott, throwing a touchdown pass to Michael Gallup in the receiver’s 2022 debut as Dallas beat Washington in Arlington, Texas. Rush also had a TD toss to new No. 1 receiver CeeDee Lamb while improving to 4-0 in his career as a starter.

RAIDERS 32, BRONCOS 23

Josh Jacobs ran for 144 yards and two touchdowns, Amik Robertson returned a fumble 68 yards for a score and the Raiders won their first game of the season over the Broncos in Las Vegas. After opening their first season under coach Josh McDaniels by losing three straight one-score games, the Raiders did enough on the ground with their biggest rushing game in six years to hold off the Broncos.

CHARGERS 34, TEXANS 24

Justin Herbert threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns and Austin Ekeler scored three times as Los Angeles built a big early lead, then held on to win in Houston.

FALCONS 23, BROWNS 20

Dee Alford intercepted Jacoby Brissett’s pass with less than a minute remaining and Atlanta held on at home to beat Cleveland. The Falcons spoiled the Georgia homecoming of Cleveland’s Nick Chubb, who ran for 118 yards and a touchdown with his high school team watching. Younghoe Koo’s 45-yard field goal, his third of the game, with 2:28 remaining gave the Falcons the lead.

CARDINALS 26, PANTHERS 16

Kyler Murray threw for 207 yards and two touchdowns and added one rushing and the Cardinals overcame yet another lackluster first half to defeat the Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. Murray threw TD passes of 23 yards to Marquise Brown and 2 yards to Zach Ertz and also ran for a 4-yard score.

TITANS 24, COLTS 17

Derrick Henry rushed for a season-high 114 yards and a touchdown and Tennessee’s defense held up late to win in Indianapolis.
