AROUND THE NFL

-

COWBOYS 54, COLTS 19

Malik Hooker returned a fumble 38 yards for a touchdown against his former team and Dallas scored 33 points in the fourth quarter to rout Indianapol­is. Dallas led 21-19 entering the fourth when Dak Prescott threw the last of his three touchdown passes. Hooker’s scoop-and-score was the first of four fourth-quarter takeaways by Dallas, all of which led to touchdowns. The quarter was just the third time in NFL history a team scored as many as 33 points in the fourth.

49ERS 33, DOLPHINS 17

Rookie Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes after replacing Jimmy Garoppolo — who suffered a broken left foot that will end his season — and San Francisco used another dominant defensive performanc­e to beat Miami for its fifth straight win. The 49ers allowed a 75-yard touchdown pass to Trent Sherfield on the opening play from scrimmage but little else until the fourth quarter.

RAVENS 10, BRONCOS 9

Tyler Huntley capped a 91-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run with 28 seconds remaining, and Baltimore overcame Lamar Jackson’s injury to beat Denver. Jackson left after the first quarter with an injured knee, and the Broncos mostly shut down Baltimore after that. But on their final possession, the Ravens drove 16 plays, aided by a couple big Denver penalties. Huntley converted on fourth-and-2 from the Denver 18 with a short run, then Kenyan Drake caught a 13-yard pass. Huntley scored on the next play for the Ravens, who stayed atop the AFC North.

EAGLES 35, TITANS 10

Jalen Hurts strengthen­ed his MVP bid by throwing for 380 yards and three touchdowns and running for another score, and A.J Brown caught two touchdown passes against his former team as Philadelph­ia beat Tennessee. Hurts set a career high with 29 total touchdowns and had his third career game with four total TDs.

PACKERS 28, BEARS 19

Aaron Rodgers led three fourth-quarter scoring drives, receiver Christian Watson took an end-around 46 yards for a touchdown in the closing minutes, and Green Bay rallied to beat Chicago. The Packers looked like they were on their way to another loss after dropping seven of eight, trailing 19-10 through three quarters. But they made enough plays down the stretch to come away with their eighth straight win over the Bears, who lost their sixth straight.

SEAHAWKS 27, RAMS 23

DK Metcalf caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith with 36 seconds to play, and Seattle overcame an inspired performanc­e by Bobby Wagner to beat spiraling Los Angeles. Smith passed for a career-high 367 yards and threw three TD passes for the Seahawks, who barely snapped their two-game skid with 438 yards of offense against a Rams defense missing Aaron Donald.

RAIDERS 27, CHARGERS 20

Derek Carr completed two long touchdown passes to Davante Adams in the third quarter to rally Las Vegas past Los Angeles. Josh Jacobs rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown, and the Raiders improved to 5-1 when he has 100 or more yards. Jacobs has 1,303 yards this season, the most in Raiders history through 12 games.

LIONS 40, JAGUARS 14

Jamaal Williams ran for his 14th touchdown this season and Detroit routed Jacksonvil­le. The Lions scored on all five of their drives in the first half to take a 17-point lead, and then on their first three possession­s of the second half to pull away. The Jaguars had a scare on the last play of the second quarter when quarterbac­k Trevor Lawrence was sacked and grabbed his left knee, but their defense made his return moot.

STEELERS 19, FALCONS 16

Kenny Pickett tossed a 17-yard touchdown pass to Connor Heyward, Matthew Wright kicked four field goals and Pittsburgh held off Atlanta.
