Kansas City Chiefs 21-7 Cleveland Browns

Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes before leaving with an ankle injury, Xavier Worthy ran for a score and, for once, the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t have to sweat out the final minutes in their victory over the mistake-prone Cleveland Browns. Mahomes connected for TDs in the first half with Juju Smith-Schuster and Noah Gray as the Chiefs (13-1) built a 21-0 lead. The defending Super Bowl champions have 10 wins by seven points or less, with six coming on the game’s final play.

Baltimore Ravens 35-14 New York Giants

Lamar Jackson tied his career high by throwing five touchdown passes in a near-perfect performance that led the Baltimore Ravens (9-5) to victory over the New York Giants (2-12). The Giants tied a franchise record with their ninth straight loss and fell to 0-8 at MetLife Stadium this season. Coming off a bye week, the win moved the Ravens moved closer to a playoff berth.

Miami Dolphins 12–20 Houston Texans

Nico Collins had two touchdown receptions and Houston’s defense forced four turnovers, highlighted by two fourth-quarter interceptions by Derek Stingley, to help the Texans to a win over the Miami Dolphins (6-8). It was the second straight victory for the Texans (9-5), who can clinch the AFC South title for a second straight season with a loss by the Colts later on Sunday. Collins had a six-yard TD reception in the second quarter and his second six-yard scoring grab made it 20-6 in the third. That score was set up by a 35-yard run by Dare Ogunbowale on a fake punt.

Washington Commanders 20-19 New Orleans Saints

Jayden Daniels threw two first-half touchdown passes to Terry McLaurin, and the Washington Commanders (9-5) narrowly held off a rally by Spencer Rattler and the Saints, winning when New Orleans (5-9) failed on a two-point conversion with no time left. Daniels, returning to play in Louisiana a year after winning the Heisman Trophy with LSU, completed 25 of 31 passes for 226 yards. He also ran for 66 yards. But Washington couldn’t put New Orleans away after building a 17-0 third-quarter lead. Rattler led four scoring drives in relief of fill-in starter Jake Haener. But he couldn’t complete the winning two-pointer to tight end Juwan Johnson.

Cincinnati Bengals 37–27 Tennessee Titans

Joe Burrow threw for 271 yards with three touchdowns for the franchise record with 36 this season and the Cincinnati Bengals (6-8) improved their faint playoff hopes by thumping the Tennessee Titans (3-11) in a sloppy game. The Bengals earned the 400th regular-season win in franchise history. They still need to win out to extend their streak of winning seasons to four straight no matter where they wind up in the AFC playoff chase. The Bengals turned six turnovers into 24 straight points capped by a 39-yard pick-six in the third. Cincinnati also had four turnovers for the NFL’s first 10-turnover game since 2007.

New York Jets 32–25 Jacksonville Jaguars

Davante Adams caught nine passes for 198 yards and two touchdowns all in the second half and the New York Jets (4-10) rallied to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars (3-11) to end a four-game skid. Adams hauled in a 71-yard TD pass with 3:24 remaining and a 41-yarder that set up Breece Hall’s one-yard plunge with 1:05 to play. In between, he made a circus catch along the sideline for a first down. It was vintage Adams, who became the 12th player in NFL history with 100 receiving touchdowns. And vintage Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 289 yards and three scores as the Jets topped 30 points for the first time this season.

Dallas Cowboys 30–14 Carolina Panthers

Cooper Rush threw for 214 yards and a career-high three touchdown passes, Dallas forced four Bryce Young turnovers and sacked the second-year quarterback six times and the Cowboys defeated the Carolina Panthers for their third win in the past four games. CeeDee Lamb had nine catches for 116 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown reception and Rico Dowdle ran for a career high 149 yards on 25 carries to become the first undrafted running back to surpass 100 yards rushing in three straight games since Houston’s Arian Foster. Young fumbled twice and threw two interceptions to fall to 4-21 as an NFL starter.
