Mac Jones threw three touchdown passes, rookie Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for a career-high 100 yards and two scores, and the New England Patriots rolled to a 45-7 victory over Cleveland on Sunday as the Browns lost quarterback Baker Mayfield to a knee injury. The Patriots (6-4) won their fourth straight game. The Browns (5-5) have dropped four of their last six and haven’t won at New England since 1992, when Bill Belichick was their coach. Jones finished 19 of 23 for 198 yards passing. Hunter Henry added a pair of TD receptions. Playing without star running back Nick Chubb, who missed the game after a positive Covid-19 test, the Browns were held to 217 total yards and were 1 of 11 on third down. Mayfield limped off the field after taking a pair of hits in the third quarter. Mayfield was 11 for 21 for 73 yards, one touchdown and an interception. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 19-29 Washington Tom Brady threw two interceptions in the first quarter as part of an implosion by the reigning Super Bowl champions, contributing to Washington upsetting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while losing Chase Young to injury. Tampa Bay lost a second consecutive game on either side of their bye week and were dealt an extra blow in the last minute when nose tackle Vita Vea was carted off with an injury on the final play of a 19-play, 80-yard drive that sealed the victory for Washington (3-6). Brady threw two picks just like the loss to New Orleans two weeks ago and finished 23 of 34 for 220 yards and two touchdown passes. Atlanta Falcons 3–43 Dallas Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott ran for two touchdowns, Nahshon Wright recovered a blocked punt for a score a week after touching one kept Dallas from getting the ball, and the Cowboys routed the Atlanta Falcons. Plenty of things that went wrong for the Cowboys in a blowout loss to Denver that ended a six-game winning streak a week ago went right to help the NFC East leaders get back on track. Offensive execution was among them. Dallas (7-2) looked much more like the NFL’s No 1 offense with Dak Prescott throwing two TD passes to CeeDee Lamb and Elliott finishing two drives kept alive by fourth-down conversions, all before halftime. New Orleans Saints 21-23 Tennessee Titans Ryan Tannehill ran and threw for touchdowns as the Tennessee Titans held off the New Orleans Saints for their NFL-best sixth straight victory. The Titans (8-2) also became the second team in NFL history to win five straight over playoff teams from the season before, joining the 2003 Philadelphia Eagles. Tennessee improved to 7-0 overall against 2020 playoff teams this season. The Saints (5-4) dropped their second straight since losing quarterback Jameis Winston to a season-ending ACL injury. Detroit Lions 16-16 Pittsburgh Steelers The Detroit Lions are still winless. They didn’t lose this week, though, after finishing their game in Pittsburgh in a draw. It was the first tie in the NFL this season. The Lions had the ball four times in overtime but could not score. Ryan Santoso missed a 48-yard field goal. He also missed an extra point in the third quarter that would have given the Lions the win. Jack Fox punted 10 times for 464 yards for the Lions, including two in overtime. Buffalo Bills 45–17 New York Jets Josh Allen threw two touchdown passes, Buffalo ran for four scores and the Bills’ top-ranked ranked defense intercepted Mike White four times and smothered the New York Jets. It was an impressive showing for the Bills (6-3), who rebounded from an embarrassing 9-6 loss at Jacksonville last week by thoroughly dominating the lowly Jets (2-7). Allen was 21 of 28 for 366 yards with TD passes to Matt Breida and Stefon Diggs with an interception. Breida added a scoring run, as did Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie as Buffalo’s offense looked alive and well. Taron Johnson, Tre’Davious White, Levi Wallace and Jordan Poyer each intercepted White, who made his third straight start for the injured Zach Wilson and it might have been his last. Jacksonville Jaguars 17–23 Indianapolis Colts Jonathan Taylor rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown, Indianapolis returned a blocked punt for a score and the Colts’ defense held on for victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Indy (5-5) have won four of five to reach .500 for the first time this season. The Jaguars (2-7) have lost 12 consecutive road games and nine straight against AFC South foes.
