Jaguars, Fournette steamroll Steelers
The new-look Jaguars just might be for real.
Telvin Smith and Barry Church returned two Ben Roethlisberger interceptions for touchdowns, and the Jaguars stunned the Steelers 30-9 on Sunday in Pittsburgh.
Roethlisberger was picked off five times and sacked twice. Rookie Leonard Fournette ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Jaguars, who are over .500 after five games for the first time since 2010 and have already matched their victory total from 2016.
“I think this is a completely different ballclub compared to last year,” safety Tashaun Gipson said. Eagles 34, Cardinals 7: Carson Wentz threw a career-best four touchdown passes as the Eagles continued their impressive start. Wentz had three scoring passes on three consecutive attempts in the first quarter: 59 yards to Torrey Smith, 11 yards to Zach Ertz and 15 yards to Trey Burton. Dolphins 16, Titans 10: Jay Cutler quieted the boobirds with a fourthquarter touchdown pass for the Dolphins. Cutler capped a 58-yard drive with a 6-yard strike to Jarvis Landry for the tiebreaking score. But the Dolphins struggled against a Titans team that allowed 57 points against the Texans a week ago. Packers 35, Cowboys 31: Aaron Rodgers threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams with 11 seconds remaining to cap a 75-yard drive in just 1:02. Aaron Jones had 19 carries for 125 yards and a touchdown in his first start. Colts 26, 49ers 23: After blowing a 14-point lead in the final eight minutes of regulation and surviving an interception in overtime, the Colts beat the 49ers when Marlon Mack’s 35-yard run set up Adam Vinatieri for a 51-yard field goal. Jets 17, Browns 14: Josh McCown threw two touchdown passes to lead the surprising Jets over the winless Browns, who fell to 1-20 under coach Hue Jackson. Bengals 20, Bills 16: A.J. Green had a hand in three turnovers but also scored a 77-yard touchdown and had another long catch to set up a score. Green had passes go off his hands and his chest for a pair of interceptions and fumbled after a catch, but he finished with seven receptions for 189 yards. Panthers 27, Lions 24: Cam Newton threw three touchdown passes as the Panthers built a lead big enough to hold off the Lions. The Panthers scored 24 straight points. Ravens 30, Raiders 17: Joe Flacco hit Mike Wallace on two deep passes, and the Ravens got a fumble return for a touchdown by Jimmy Smith to beat the Raiders. Seahawks 16, Rams 10: Russell Wilson passed for 198 yards and a touchdown, and Earl Thomas forced two of the Rams’ five turnovers as the Seahawks shut out the league’s highest-scoring offense in the second half. Chargers 27, Giants 22: Philip Rivers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Melvin Gordon with 2:58 to play, and the Chargers rallied to win a game pitting two teams that started the season 0-4. Chiefs at Texans: The Chiefs entered the game as the league’s last unbeaten team. The Texans are coming off a 57-point performance in which Deshaun Watson threw for four touchdowns.
