Broncos Overcome Eagles in Thrilling Finish

Bo Nix found a short touchdown pass and the running back contributed another rushing score in the fourth quarter as the Denver Broncos erased a 14-point deficit to hand the Eagles their initial defeat of the season. The Broncos batted down the Eagles quarterback's last-gasp attempt on the game's concluding play to send the Super Bowl champions to just their second loss in their previous 22 outings. Denver (three wins and two losses) caught a huge break in their comeback when the Eagles had a late fourth-down conversion nullified on an illegal shift penalty whistled against running back Saquon Barkley.

Houston Texans 44–10 Baltimore Ravens

CJ Stroud threw for 244 passing yards and four scoring throws, and Houston (2-3) strolled to a decisive victory over a depleted Baltimore team, matching both the biggest away victory in Texans' history and the worst home defeat in Ravens' history. The Ravens (1-4) were missing two-time MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson, and that was not their only problem. Key defenders multiple defensive leaders all missed the game, and the Ravens already were weakened on defense because of a cervical issue that concluded the defensive lineman's season. The Ravens were also missing Pro Bowl blocker Ricard and tackle Ronnie Stanley.

Vikings Edge Browns in London Thriller

Minnesota wideout Jordan Addison caught a 12-yard touchdown pass from Carson Wentz with 25 seconds left to secure the Vikings a win over the Cleveland Browns at the UK venue. This methodical march gave the Vikings (three wins and two losses) a much-needed win on their historic international road trip, which began with a 24-21 loss to the Pittsburgh in Ireland last Sunday. It also spoiled the rookie's first NFL start, as the Browns rookie positioned his squad (one win and four losses) in contention by passing for two touchdown passes. Fellow rookie Quinshon Judkins rushed for 110 rushing yards on 23 attempts. The quarterback shook off a shoulder injury that temporarily sent him to the locker room and led two scoring drives in the latter half.

Panthers Stage Epic Comeback Against Dolphins

Young had a poor start, but he finished 19 completions on 30 attempts for 198 passing yards with an interception. Dowdle, filling in for the sidelined starter, did his work on the ground on 23 attempts, falling four yards shy of the team's all-time rushing mark. The Dolphins' quarterback completed 27 passes out of 36 for 256 passing yards with three scores and receiver Waddle gained 110 yards through the air on six catches and added a touchdown, but the Dolphins (1-4) fell to 0-3 in road games.

Saints Secure First Win Under New Coach

Giants rookie QB Dart, who secured his first career start last Sunday, threw for 202 yards and two scores, but also committed errors on three occasions.
