Josh Allen etched his name into the Buffalo record books on Sunday, setting the franchise mark for career touchdown passes while also scoring on the ground, as the Bills capitalized on a string of Baltimore quarterback injuries to defeat the Ravens 36-10 in Orchard Park, New York.

Allen completed 21 of 34 passes for 289 yards, two touchdowns and one interception as the Bills (6-1) notched their third consecutive victory. His 11-yard scoring strike to DJ Moore with 12:18 remaining was the 259th touchdown pass of his career including postseason play, breaking the record previously held by Hall of Famer Jim Kelly. James Cook III added 80 rushing yards and a touchdown.

The Ravens (4-4) lost both of their top quarterbacks in the first half — Lamar Jackson to a right thumb injury and Tyler "Snoop" Huntley to a right toe injury — while dropping their third straight game. Ravens coach Jesse Minter said Jackson requires thumb surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.

Joe Fagnano, an undrafted rookie from UConn, finished the contest in his NFL debut. He completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards with one interception and one lost fumble as Baltimore managed just 144 yards of total offense.

Lions 19, Vikings 15

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 153 yards and a touchdown as host Detroit rallied to topple the league's last unbeaten team in an NFC North showdown.

Jared Goff found Jameson Williams on a 7-yard touchdown pass with 4:35 left for the go-ahead score. Goff completed 18 of 25 passes for 176 yards but also threw his first interception of the season. Williams finished with four catches for 70 yards for the Lions (5-2).

Kyler Murray connected on 17 of 29 attempts for 210 yards and two touchdowns for the Vikings (6-1). TJ Hockenson recorded four receptions for 58 yards and a score, while Justin Jefferson added five catches for 33 yards and a touchdown.

Buccaneers 16, Falcons 0

Bucky Irving rushed for a career-high 170 yards and a touchdown as Tampa Bay became the first team in 52 years to win a game without completing a pass, defeating visiting Atlanta in a bizarre, rain-soaked affair.

Kenny Gainwell also set a career high with 140 rushing yards for the Buccaneers (3-5), who piled up a franchise-record 324 yards on the ground. Tampa Bay won its second straight and pulled within a half-game of the Carolina Panthers for first place in the NFC South.

Baker Mayfield failed to connect on all three of his pass attempts, the first time a winning team has done that since Buffalo's Joe Ferguson went 0-for-2 against the New York Jets on Sept. 29, 1974. Michael Penix, Jr. completed 8 of 24 passes for 125 yards and threw four interceptions for the Falcons (3-5), who have lost three of their last four.

Bengals 43, Titans 36 (OT)

Joe Burrow overcame three interceptions by Amani Hooker to throw five touchdown passes and plunge in for the game-winner in overtime as Cincinnati outlasted visiting Tennessee to claim its third consecutive win.

Burrow finished 38-of-48 passing for 462 yards for the Bengals (5-2). He threw two touchdown passes to Tee Higgins, the second of which tied the game with 1:17 left in regulation. Dexter Lawrence II then sacked Titans quarterback Cam Ward for a 13-yard loss that knocked Tennessee out of field goal range.

Ward completed 26 of 40 passes for a career-high 304 yards and two touchdowns for the Titans (1-7). His 15-yard scoring strike to Wan'Dale Robinson put Tennessee ahead 36-29 with 3:46 remaining. The Titans led 13-0 at the end of the first quarter before the Bengals surged in front for a 14-13 halftime lead.

Hooker became the first NFL player with three interceptions in a game since Jordan Whitehead of the Jets did it against the Bills on Sept. 11, 2023.

Cardinals 33, Cowboys 30 (OT)

Gardner Minshew rallied Arizona from a 14-point deficit to force overtime, and Chad Ryland atoned for a missed extra point by kicking the game-winning field goal to stun Dallas in Arlington, Texas.

Minshew, who entered with 1:35 left in the third quarter, directed four consecutive touchdown drives and completed 17 of 23 passes for 188 yards and three scores. Backup running back Tyler Allgeier recorded a career-high 147 rushing yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, and Michael Wilson caught eight passes for 111 yards for the Cardinals (3-5).

Dak Prescott completed 19 of 29 passes for 195 yards and one touchdown while adding another score on the ground for the Cowboys (3-5), who were outgained 467-261. CeeDee Lamb hauled in seven passes for 58 yards, and Javonte Williams carried 24 times for 56 yards.

Raiders 38, Jets 33

Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes, two of them in the second half, and ran for another score to lead Las Vegas to a comeback victory over New York in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards as the Raiders snapped a four-game skid, erasing a pair of nine-point deficits by scoring 17 of the game's final 20 points. The win also ended Las Vegas' streak of 12 consecutive losses when trailing at halftime. Cousins threw two of his touchdown passes to Brock Bowers.

The Jets scored on their first six possessions but repeatedly stalled inside the red zone. Jason Sanders kicked four field goals, three of them in the first half, as New York took a 23-14 lead into the break.

Steelers 27, Browns 6

Jaylen Warren rushed for 143 yards on 17 carries and scored one of Pittsburgh's three rushing touchdowns as the Steelers throttled visiting Cleveland to move into sole possession of first place in the AFC North.

Pittsburgh (6-2) built a two-touchdown halftime lead behind a potent running game and a relentless pass rush, recording its 23rd consecutive regular-season home victory over the Browns (5-3).

Rico Dowdle added 56 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries, and tight end Pat Freiermuth also scored on the ground. Aaron Rodgers completed 13 of 25 passes for 172 yards with one interception, and Darnell Washington posted three catches for 94 yards. The Steelers' defense sacked Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson eight times, blunting his 324-yard passing effort.

Broncos 28, Chiefs 24

Jonah Coleman scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:56 remaining, and host Denver held firm with a goal-line stand in the final seconds to defeat Kansas City and seize first place in the AFC West.

Bo Nix threw two touchdown passes on fourth down, including one in the fourth quarter to Nate Adkins, as the Broncos (6-2) overcame a 24-13 deficit. Nix finished 20-of-32 passing for 222 yards, Coleman totaled 104 yards from scrimmage (41 rushing, 63 receiving), and Jaylen Waddle caught a touchdown pass for Denver, which has won four straight.

After Coleman's touchdown run from the 5, the Chiefs (5-2) drove to the Denver 1-yard line with four seconds left, but Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes to end the game. Mahomes completed 30 of 41 passes for 321 yards and three touchdowns.
