NFL ROUNDUP

Ravens37 Patriots 28

Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score as Baltimore held off New England. New England quarterback Mac Jones suffered a leg injury with less than two minutes to play, hopping off the field and heading straight to the locker room. He completed 22 of 32 passes for 321 yards but threw three interceptions. Justin Tucker kicked a 56yard field goal, the 50th of his career from 50 yards or more, as Baltimore claimed its first regular-season victory at New England in seven tries.

Packers 14 Buccaneers 12

Aaron Rodgers threw for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and Green Bay withstood a late rally led by Tom Brady to beat Tampa Bay. Rodgers tossed TD passes of five yards to Romeo Doubs and six yards to Allen Lazard on his team’s first two possessions, while the Bucs offence sputtered much of the day without star receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones. For the second straight week, the Bucs were held without a touchdown into the fourth quarter. Brady finally got them into the end zone on a one-yard pass to Russell Gage, capping a 90-yard drive with 14 seconds remaining. “I have a ton of respect for (Brady),” said Rodgers. “He’s been a trailblazer at the position for a long time. I’ve had a lot of fun competing against Tom over the years and it’s always nice to come out on top.”

Rams 20 Cardinals 12

Matthew Stafford threw for 249 yards, Cam Akers and Cooper Kupp both scored touchdowns and Los Angeles used a stellar defensive effort to beat Arizona. The Rams continued their dominance in the series of NFC West rivals, winning 11 of the past 12 games dating to 2017, including last year’s 34-11 win in the playoffs. Aaron Donald had a sack and two tackles for loss, while Jalen Ramsey added two passes defended and a tackle for loss. The Rams gave up 365 total yards but limited the Cardinals to four field goals.

Bengals27 Jets 12

Joe Burrow threw three touchdown passes and Cincinnati rolled past New York for its first win of the season. After a pair of three-point losses, the Bengals came out aggressive against the Jets, who fell flat after a stunning comeback win last week at Cleveland. Burrow finished 23 of 36 for 275 yards with TD throws to Samaje Perine, Tyler Boyd and Ja’Marr Chase. Joe Flacco struggled in what will likely be his final start, with the injured Zach Wilson expected to return next week for the Jets. He was 28 of 52 for 285 yards and two interceptions, and was under pressure all game.
