Burrow, Bengals Pound Ravens for North Lead

BALTIMORE (AP) -- Joe Burrow threw for a career-high 416 yards and three touchdowns, including a pivotal 82-yarder to rookie Ja'Marr Chase in the third quarter, and the Cincinnati Bengals won their AFC North showdown against the Baltimore Ravens in style, pulling away in the second half for a 41-17 victory Sunday.

The Bengals (5-2) drew even with the Ravens (5-2) atop the division, a sign that Burrow and Chase might be ahead of schedule in turning around this struggling franchise. The former LSU teammates were too much for Baltimore to handle, and Cincinnati's offense moved the ball pretty easily from the middle of the second quarter on.

TITANS 27, CHIEFS 3

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Ryan Tannehill threw for 270 yards and a touchdown, and he also ran for a score in the second victory in six days for the Titans (5-2) over teams that played for the AFC championship in January.

CARDINALS 31

TEXANS 5

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- DeAndre Hopkins caught a touchdown pass against his former team, Zach Ertz caught a touchdown pass for his new team and the Cardinals scored 31 unanswered points.

The Cardinals remained the NFL's only undefeated team and improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1974. The Texans (1-6) -- who looked totally overmatched for three quarters -- have lost six straight games.

RAMS 28, LIONS 19

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) -- Matthew Stafford passed for 334 yards and three touchdowns against his former team, and Jalen Ramsey made an end zone interception with five minutes left.

Jared Goff passed for 268 yards and nearly led the Lions (0-7) to an upset win in his first meeting with the Rams (6-1), who traded him for Stafford in a blockbuster deal last winter.

RAIDERS 33

EAGLES 22

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Derek Carr threw for 323 yards, completing 31 of 34 pass attempts with one touchdown. The Raiders (5-2) outgained Philadelphia 443-358 in a dominating performance that saw Las Vegas score on five straight possessions after its first series ended with Carr being intercepted inside the Eagles 5-yard line.

BUCCANEERS 38

BEARS 3

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Tom Brady became the first player to throw 600 career touchdown passes, and the Buccaneers have the best seven-game start in franchise history.

PACKERS 24

WASHINGTON 10

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes and Green Bay earned a sixth consecutive victory.

Rodgers went 27 of 35 for 274 yards with touchdown passes to Davante Adams, Allen Lazard and Robert Tonyan.

PATRIOTS 54, JETS 13

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- Mac Jones threw two touchdown passes in his first 300-yard game, Damien Harris and J.J. Taylor ran for two TDs each and the Patriots won for the first time at home this season.

FALCONS 30

DOLPHINS 28

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Matt Ryan passed for 336 yards, nearly half of them going to rookie tight end Kyle Pitts, and Younghoe Koo made a 36-yard field goal as time expired.

GIANTS 25

PANTHERS 3

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Daniel Jones threw a 5-yard touchdown pass and made a spectacular one-handed 16-yard catch on the game's only meaningful touchdown drive.

COLTS 30, 49ERS 18

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -- Carson Wentz threw TD passes to Mo Alie-Cox and Michael Pittman Jr. and ran for another score to lead Indianapolis to a rain-soaked victory over San Francisco.

The Colts (3-4) overcame the wet conditions and an early nine-point deficit to win for the third time in four games following an 0-3 start to the season.

The 49ers (2-4) dropped their fourth straight game and remained winless at home for more than a year since beating the Rams last Oct. 18, 2020, as the return of starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo failed to provide any spark. Garoppolo threw for 181 yards, lost a fumble, threw two interceptions and struggled to push the ball downfield in his first game back after missing one game with a calf injury.

Wentz and the Colts were able to do just enough on offense thanks to three pass interference penalties for 97 yards and a productive game on the ground from Jonathan Taylor, who ran for 107 yards and a score.
