Hurts scores 4 TDS to lead Eagles’ blowout of Titans

-

PHILADELPH­IA — 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 to lead the Philadelph­ia Eagles to a 35-10 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Hurts has led the Eagles to an 11-1 start, their first time with that record since 2004 and the fourth time in franchise history. The 1949 Eagles won the NFL championsh­ip. The 1980 and 2004 teams lost in the Super Bowl.

The Eagles look every bit like a team that can win the Super Bowl.

LIONS 40, JAGUARS 14

Jamaal Williams ran for his 14th touchdown to help host Detroit get off to a strong start and they did not slow down in a rout of Jacksonvil­le.

The Lions (5-7) scored on all five of their drives in the first half to take a 17-point lead, and their first three possession­s of the second half to pull away.

STEELERS 19, FALCONS 16

Kenny Pickett tossed a 17-yard touchdown pass to Connor Heyward, Matthew Wright kicked four field goals and Pittsburgh made it two wins in a row for the first time this season, holding off host Atlanta.

RAVENS 10, BRONCOS 9

Tyler Huntley capped a 91-yard drive with a 2yard touchdown run with 28 seconds remaining, and Baltimore overcame Lamar Jackson's injury to edge visiting Denver.

Jackson left after the first quarter with an injured knee, and the Broncos mostly shut down Baltimore after that.

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 after Jaire Alexander intercepte­d Justin Fields, and Green Bay rallied to beat host Chicago Bears.

VIKINGS 27, JETS 22

Justin Jefferson's touchdown catch with 8:33 left gave host Minnesota enough of a lead to hang on despite a relentless rally by New York.

Camryn Bynum's intercepti­on at the 1-yard line with 10 seconds left finally sealed it for the Vikings (10-2).

GIANTS 20 COMMANDERS 20

Graham Gano came up well short on a 58-yard field goal attempt as time expired in overtime, leaving host New York and Washington tied in a deadlock between teams on the periphery of the NFC playoff picture.

Taylor Heinicke threw two touchdown passes for the Commanders and hit a crucial fourth-down pass on a tying 90-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter.
