Chris Evans caught the go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass with 8:54
remaining as Burrow outdueled Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
for the third time in 11-plus months. Cincinnati beat Kansas
City 34-31 in the regular season last January and notched a
27-24 overtime victory in the AFC Championship Game four weeks
later.
Samaje Perine rushed for 106 yards while Tee Higgins also caught
a touchdown pass for the Bengals (8-4), who won their fourth
straight game and eighth in their past 10. Ja'Marr Chase had
seven receptions for 97 yards after missing the previous four
games due to a hip injury. Running back Joe Mixon (concussion)
missed his second straight game.
Mahomes was 16-of-27 passing for 223 yards and one touchdown for
the Chiefs (9-3), who had a five-game winning streak halted.

fumble prior to the Bengals' decisive score.
49ers 33, Dolphins 17
Rookie quarterback Brock Purdy came to the rescue in his first
extended NFL action, passing for 210 yards and two touchdowns to
push San Francisco's winning streak to five games with a victory
over Miami at Santa Clara, Calif.

first quarter for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo and delivered a
touchdown on his first drive. The 49ers' defense added three
interceptions and a fumble return for a score by Dre Greenlaw,
all in the second half. Christian McCaffrey caught eight passes
for 80 yards and a touchdown for the 49ers (8-4), while also
rushing for 66 yards on 17 carries. Garoppolo will miss the
remainder of the season with a broken foot.

injured while being sacked for a 6-yard loss by Denver's
Jonathon Cooper on the final play of the first quarter. The
Ravens initially said Jackson was questionable to return and
then ruled him out before the second half started.

or fewer for the 10th time this season. Russell Wilson completed
17 of 22 passes for 189 yards.

Pickett threw a touchdown pass and Pittsburgh held off host

seconds left.

Propelled by three non-offensive touchdowns, Cleveland overcame
a rusty effort from Deshaun Watson in his anticipated return to
defeat Houston.
Following his offseason trade from Houston to Cleveland (5-7),
Watson delivered an erratic showing, completing 12 of 22
attempts for 131 yards plus a red-zone interception.

Rutherford, N.J.
In the 10-minute overtime session, both teams punted twice. The
