RAMS 38, GIANTS 11
Despite getting another big game from quarterback Matthew Stafford and receiver Cooper Kupp, and four takeaways from his defense, McVay didn’t enjoy the opening quarter of the Rams’ 38-11 win on Sunday
Stafford, who has 16 TD passes in six games, finished 22 of 28 for 251 yards in three-plus quarters.
Jones finished 29 of 51 for 242 yards playing without running back Saquon Barkley and receiver Kenny Golladay. Playmaking rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) was lost on the first series, contributing to New York totaling 261 yards of offense, most of it late.
COLTS 31, TEXANS 3
Carson Wentz threw two long TD passes, Jonathan Taylor ran for two more scores and a stifling defense closed out a critical 31-3 victory over Houston.

Burrow tied a career high with three touchdown passes and he helped the Cincinnati Bengals match last year’s victory total with a 34-11 rout against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Burrow finished 19 of 29 for 271 yards, including a 24-yard touchdown pass to rookie running back Chris Evans on the game’s opening drive.
Bengals rookie receiver Ja’Marr Chase had four receptions for 97 yards and sprinted up the field to make a block near the end zone that helped Mixon score.
PACKERS 24, BEARS 14
Rodgers turned toward the crowd after running for a touchdown to help secure yet another win for Green Bay over Chicago. Then, he yelled, ”I still own you! I still own you!”
Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, leading the Packers to a 24-14 victory over the Bears on Sunday.
Rodgers finished 17 of 23 for 195 yards and a 128 passer rating.
Davante Adams caught four passes for 89 yards, including a 41-yarder that helped set up Rodgers’ TD scramble. Jones ran for 76 yards and caught four passes for 34,
RAVENS 34, CHARGERS 6
Lamar Jackson threw for 167 yards and a touchdown, and the Ravens frustrated Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers in a 34-6 win Sunday. Baltimore completely controlled this matchup of division leaders in a victory that should resonate throughout the AFC.
Jackson went 19 of 27 with two interceptions. Herbert was 22 of 39 for 195 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Although the much-anticipated clash between these two talented quarterbacks didn’t live up to expectations, Baltimore won with a total team effort.
VIKINGS 34, PANTHERS 28
Kirk Cousins threw for 373 yards and three touchdowns against the league’s top-ranked pass defense, including a 27-yard touchdown pass to K.J. Osborn on the first possession of overtime to lift the Minnesota Vikings to a wild 34-28 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Dalvin Cook ran for 140 yards and a score and Adam Thielen had a number of big catches, finishing with 11 receptions for 126 yards and a touchdown.

CARDINALS 37, BROWNS 14
Kyler Murray threw four touchdown passes as the Cardinals remained the NFL’s only unbeaten team and continued their best start since 1974 – without Kingsbury on Sunday – with a 37-14 win over the battered, reeling Cleveland Browns.
Murray made sure the Cardinals didn’t miss a beat. He completed 20 of 30 passes for 229 yards and matched his career best with the four TDs.
RAIDERS 34, BRONCOS 24
Jon Gruden’s red-faced resignation didn’t unravel the Las Vegas Raiders. It galvanized them.
”It for sure brought us closer,” Derek Carr said after the Raiders’ 34-24 thrashing of the bewildered Denver Broncos on Sunday.
COWBOYS 35, PATRIOTS 29
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott through a pass to CeeDee Lamb in overtime to beat the New Patriots 35-29 Sunday, the Cowboys quarterback felt pain in his right calf.
Prescott, whose calf injury will be evaluated further on Monday, finished 35 of 51 for 445 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Lamb had nine catches for 149 yards and two scores.
Mac Jones finished 15 of 21 for 229 yards, two touchdowns and that critical interception, and Damien Harris rushed 18 times for 101 yards and a score.
