Broncos Overcome Eagles in Thrilling Finish

Bo Nix found an 11-yard touchdown pass and the running back contributed a two-yard rushing score in the final period as the Denver Broncos overcame a two-touchdown disadvantage to deliver the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the campaign. The Broncos deflected the Eagles quarterback's final attempt on the game's concluding play to send the Super Bowl champions to just their second defeat in their previous 22 outings. Denver (three wins and two losses) caught a huge break in their rally when the Philadelphia had a crucial play called back on an illegal shift penalty called on running back Saquon Barkley.

Texans Dominate Depleted Ravens in Record Win

Houston's quarterback threw for 244 passing yards and four touchdowns, and the Texans (2-3) cruised to a decisive victory over an injury-ravaged Ravens squad, equaling both the most lopsided road win in Texans' history and the most lopsided home loss in Baltimore's annals. The Ravens (1-4) were without star signal-caller Jackson, and that was far from their sole issue. Defensive standouts Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith and Marlon Humphrey all missed the game, and the Ravens already were depleted on defense because of a cervical issue that concluded Nnamdi Madubuike's campaign. Baltimore were also without All-Pro fullback Patrick Ricard and offensive lineman Stanley.

Las Vegas Raiders 6–40 Indianapolis Colts

Jonathan Taylor ran for three rushing scores and a two-point conversion, and Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes as the Indianapolis Colts overwhelmed the Raiders. This decisive advantage was Indianapolis' largest since 2013. Jones completed 20 passes out of 29 attempts for 212 passing yards and improved to 4-1 as a starter this season, exceeding his total wins over the past two seasons with the New York Giants. Taylor rushed 17 attempts for 66 rushing yards and grabbed three passes for 20 yards. The Colts turned multiple takeaways into TDs. The Raiders fell to four wins and one loss.

Dallas Cowboys 37-22 New York Jets

Dallas' quarterback passed for four touchdown passes, leading the Dallas Cowboys to a comfortable win over the New York Jets. The Cowboys scored on two 90-yard drives in the second quarter, even with being without four starters on the blocking unit. The running back ran for 135 yards and a touchdown and also caught a receiving touchdown. Dallas, now two wins, two losses, and a tie, bounced back from a high-scoring draw against the Packers last week. New York are still without a victory at 0-5 in Aaron Glenn's first season as the leader.

Vikings Edge Browns in London Thriller

Vikings receiver Addison caught a short touchdown pass from the quarterback with under half a minute remaining to secure Minnesota a win over the Cleveland Browns at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The 10-play, 80-yard drive gave the Vikings (three wins and two losses) a much-needed win on their historic international road trip, which started with a 24-21 loss to the Steelers in Dublin last week. It also spoiled the rookie's debut as starter, as the Browns first-year player positioned his squad (1-4) in position to win by passing for two scores. Another first-year player Quinshon Judkins gained 110 rushing yards on 23 carries. The quarterback overcame a shoulder injury that temporarily sent him to the locker room and led two touchdown marches in the latter half.

Miami Dolphins 24-27 Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young threw for two scores and Rico Dowdle rushed for 206 rushing yards and a score as the Carolina Panthers came back against the Dolphins in Charlotte. The quarterback's short pass to rookie tight end Mitchell Evans with 1:59 to play gave the Panthers (two wins and three losses) the decisive advantage as they matched the largest comeback to win a game in team history by erasing a 17-point hole. Young had a poor start, but he ended up 19 completions on 30 attempts for 198 passing yards with an interception. Dowdle, filling in for injured Chuba Hubbard, did his damage on the run on 23 carries, falling just short of matching the single-game franchise rushing record. The Dolphins' quarterback threw 27 passes out of 36 for 256 yards with three scores and Jaylen Waddle accumulated 110 receiving yards on six catches and added a touchdown, but the Dolphins (1-4) fell to 0-3 in road games.

New York Giants 14–26 New Orleans Saints

New Orleans' quarterback threw an 87-yard score to receiver Shaheed, safety Jordan Howden scooped up a loose ball the length of the field for a touchdown, and the Saints beat the turnover-prone New York Giants for the Saints' initial win under rookie coach Kellen Moore. The QB earned his maiden win in 11 career starts, passing for 225 yards without a turnover. New York's first-year signal-caller Dart, who secured his first career start last Sunday, threw for 202 passing yards and two touchdowns, but also turned the ball over on three occasions. The Giants gave up possession on five separate plays in all, with none worse than when Bryan Bresee stripped ball carrier Skattebo, resulting in the safety's TD. Both teams are one win and four losses.
