NFL Roundup: Broncos Stage Fourth-Quarter Comeback Versus Philadelphia, Ravens Suffer Record Home-field Loss

Denver Broncos 21–17 Philadelphia Eagles

Denver's quarterback connected with an 11-yard scoring throw and the running back contributed another ground touchdown in the final period as the Denver Broncos overcame a 14-point deficit to deliver the Philadelphia Eagles their initial defeat of the campaign. The Broncos batted down the Eagles quarterback's last-gasp attempt on the contest's last snap to send the reigning title holders to just their second defeat in their last 22 games. The Broncos (3-2) got fortunate in their rally when the Philadelphia had a crucial play nullified on an illegal shift penalty called on running back Saquon Barkley.

Houston Texans 44–10 Baltimore Ravens

CJ Stroud passed for 244 yards and four scoring throws, and Houston (2-3) cruised to a decisive victory over a depleted Baltimore team, equaling both the most lopsided road win in Texans' history and the worst home defeat in Ravens' history. Baltimore (1-4) were without two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, and that was far from their sole issue. Key defenders multiple defensive leaders all were absent, and the Ravens already were weakened on that side of the ball because of a neck problem that ended the defensive lineman's campaign. Baltimore were also missing Pro Bowl blocker Ricard and offensive lineman Stanley.

Colts Rout Raiders in One-Sided Affair

Jonathan Taylor scored three rushing scores and a two-pointer, and the quarterback threw two touchdown passes as the Indianapolis Colts routed the Raiders. This decisive advantage was Indy's largest since 2013. Jones finished 20 passes out of 29 attempts for 212 passing yards and moved to 4-1 as a starter this season, exceeding his total wins over the previous two years with the Giants. Taylor rushed 17 attempts for 66 yards and caught three passes for 20 yards. Indianapolis converted a blocked punt, two interceptions and a turnover on downs into touchdowns. Las Vegas dropped to 4-1.

Dallas Cowboys 37-22 New York Jets

Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, guiding the Cowboys to a comfortable win over the New York Jets. Dallas put points on the board on two long marches in the second period, despite being without key linemen on the offensive line. The running back ran for 135 yards and a score and also hauled in a TD pass. The Cowboys, now two wins, two losses, and a tie, bounced back from a high-scoring draw against the Packers last Sunday. The Jets are still without a victory at 0-5 in their new coach's first season as head coach.

Minnesota Vikings 21–17 Cleveland Browns

Vikings receiver Jordan Addison caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz with 25 seconds remaining to secure the Vikings a win over the Cleveland Browns at the UK venue. This methodical march gave the Vikings (3-2) a crucial victory on their historic international road trip, which started with a 24-21 loss to the Pittsburgh in Ireland last week. It also spoiled Dillon Gabriel's debut as starter, as the Cleveland rookie put his team (one win and four losses) in position to win by passing for two scores. Another first-year player Quinshon Judkins rushed for 110 rushing yards on 23 carries. Wentz shook off an arm issue that temporarily sent him to the locker room and directed two scoring drives in the second half.

Panthers Stage Epic Comeback Against Dolphins

Bryce Young threw for two touchdowns and the running back rushed for 206 rushing yards and a touchdown as the Carolina Panthers rallied past the Miami Dolphins in their home stadium. The quarterback's short pass to the first-year receiver with under two minutes to go gave the Carolina (2-3) the decisive advantage as they equaled the biggest rally to win a game in team history by overcoming a 17-point hole. Young had a poor start, but he ended up 19-for-30 passing for 198 passing yards with an interception. Dowdle, replacing the sidelined starter, did his damage on the run on 23 attempts, falling just short shy of the team's all-time rushing mark. The Dolphins' quarterback threw 27 passes out of 36 for 256 passing yards with three scores and receiver Waddle gained 110 yards through the air on six receptions and scored a score, but the Dolphins (one win and four losses) fell to 0-3 in away contests.

New York Giants 14–26 New Orleans Saints

New Orleans' quarterback threw a long score to receiver Shaheed, safety Jordan Howden returned a fumble the length of the field for a touchdown, and the Saints beat the turnover-prone Giants for the New Orleans' initial win under first-year head coach Moore. Rattler earned his first victory in 11 career starts, passing for 225 passing yards without a turnover. Giants rookie QB Jaxson Dart, who won his first career start last Sunday, passed for 202 passing yards and two touchdowns, but also committed errors three times. The Giants turned the ball over five times in all, with none worse than when Bryan Bresee forced a fumble from ball carrier Skattebo, leading to Howden's TD. Each squad are one win and four losses.
