Panthers 19 Falcons 13
Zane Gonzalez kicked four field goals and Hubbard scored on a 6-yard run with 6 1/2 minutes remaining to seal Carolina’s 19-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, snapping a four-game skid for the Panthers.
Carolina rushed for 203 yards, led by Hubbard with 82 yards on 24 bruising carries. Darnold chipped in with 66 yards on the ground – the second-best rushing performance of his career – before being knocked out of the game with a concussion.
A surprise scratch just before kickoff, Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley issued a statement during the game saying he was dealing with mental health issues and needed to take a break from football.
It was the second game he has missed his season to deal with what the team had described as a personal matter.
Eagles 44 Lions 6
Boston Scott and Jordan Howard each had two touchdowns on the ground, helping the Philadelphia Eagles run over the Detroit Lions in a 44-6 win Sunday.
Rams 38 Texans 22
Stafford threw for 305 yards and three touchdowns in three quarters, and the Rams dominated the inept Texans in every way in a 38-22 win Sunday.
Bengals 31 Jets 34
After Zach Wilson been ruled out for a few weeks, backup QB Mike White led the Jets to a stunning victory over Bengals 34-31.
White threw for 405 yards and three touchdowns, caught a 2-point conversion pass on the go-ahead score and joined Cam Newton (2011) as the only players since at least 1950 to throw for 400 or more yards in their first career start.
Dolphins 11 Bills 26
Tagovailoa finished 21 of 39 for 205 yards and an interception amid speculation on the Dolphins interest in acquiring Deshaun Watson from Houston before the NFL’s trade deadline on Tuesday. Tagovailoa’s career record dropped to 7-7.
Steelers 15 Browns 10
Ben Roethlisberger doesn’t mind that Myles Garrett included him in his cemetery of sacked quarterbacks.
Big Ben almost always feels at home in Cleveland.
Roethlisberger handed the Browns yet another painful loss as the Pittsburgh Steelers overcame losing kicker Chris Boswell for the entire second half with a concussion in a 15-10 win on Sunday.
The 38-year-old Roethlisberger finished 22 of 34 for 266 yards — 193 in the second half when the Steelers had no margin for error.
49ers 33 Bears 22
Garoppolo threw for 322 yards and ran for two touchdowns, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the short-handed Chicago Bears 33-22 Sunday to snap a four-game losing streak.
Fields threw for 175 yards and a touchdown. The rookie also ran for 103 yards and a score, becoming the first Bears QB to rush for 100 yards in a game since Bobby Douglass in 1973.
Titans 34 Cols 31
The Tennessee Titans were able to build on their impressive win streak on Sunday, as they defeated the Indianapolis Colts 34-31 in overtime to push the streak to four in a row. The 6-2 Titans — who also defeated Indy earlier this season — now have a considerable lead on the 3-5 Colts in the AFC South.
Jaguars 7 Seahawks 31
Geno Smith ran for one score and threw a pair of touchdown passes to DK Metcalf, and the Seahawks thumped the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-7 to help stabilize a season starting to spiral into trouble for Seattle.
Lockett finished with 12 catches for 142 yards, the fourth time in his career with at least 12 receptions.
Lawrence finished 32 of 53 for 238 yards
Patriots 27 Chargers 24
The New England safety intercepted two passes and returned one for the go-ahead touchdown as the Patriots rallied for a 27-24 victory over the Chargers.
Mac Jones, who was 18 of 35 for 218 yards
Damien Harris had 23 carries for 80 yards, including a 1-yard carry off left guard to tie the game at seven midway through the first quarter.
Herbert was 18 of 35 for 223 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Austin Ekeler had 124 scrimmage yards (64 rushing, 60 receiving). His 5-yard run to cap off the opening drive of the first quarter was his eighth TD of the season.
Bucs 27 Saints 36
P.J. Williams intercepted Brady and returned it 40 yards for a touchdown with 1:24 left, helping New Orleans seal an eventful but potentially costly 36-27 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Winston injured his left knee during a scramble early in the second quarter when pulled down from behind by former LSU star Devin White, who was flagged for a horse collar tackle.
Backup Trevor Siemian took over for Winston and completed 16 of 29 passes for 159 yards and a touchdown without a turnover, leading the Saints on five scoring drives that produced two touchdowns and three field goals.
Washington 10 Broncos 17
Justin Simmons and Denver held after a fumble gave Washington the ball back, and the Broncos blocked two field goals on their way to a 17-10 win Sunday that stopped a four-game slide.
Cowboys 20 Viking 16
Cooper Rush subbed for the injured Prescott and passed for 325 yards and two second-half touchdowns, the last a 5-yard throw to Amari Cooper with 51 seconds left in the Cowboys’ 20-16 victory over the Vikings on Sunday night.
