The league-leading Eagles (12-1) clinched a playoff berth after
Hurts was 21 of 31 for 217 yards and rushed seven times for 77
yards. Sanders ran 17 times for a career-high 144 yards and
became the first Eagle to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing in a
season since LeSean McCoy in 2014.
Giants quarterback Daniel Jones finished 18 of 27 for 169 yards
and one touchdown. He also rushed for a score. The Giants
(7-5-1) are 0-3-1 in their past four games.
Jones plunged in from the 1 to slice the deficit to 27-14 with
5:40 left in the third. Hurts responded with a 10-yard touchdown
scamper for a 34-14 advantage with 1:41 remaining in the
quarter. Sanders' 40-yard touchdown run with 6:01 left to play
gave the Eagles a 41-14 advantage, and Boston Scott added a
3-yard run for a 34-point lead with 3:09 left.
49ers 35, Buccaneers 7
Rookie Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and rushed for
another to fuel San Francisco to a victory over Tampa Bay in
Santa Clara, Calif.
Purdy completed 16 of 21 passes for 185 yards, including a
27-yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey and a 32-yard score to
Brandon Aiyuk. Purdy added a 2-yard rushing touchdown to help
the 49ers (9-4) secure their sixth straight win.
Tom Brady completed 34 of 55 passes for 253 yards with one
touchdown and two interceptions for the Buccaneers (6-7), who
have lost two of their last three games. Russell Gage caught a
carom off the hands of fellow Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin
for an 8-yard score with 2:48 left in the third quarter for
Tampa's only points.
Bills 20, Jets 12
Josh Allen went 16-of-27 passing for 147 yards and a touchdown,
and also ran for 47 yards with a touchdown on nine carries, to
lead Buffalo to a home victory over New York in Orchard Park,
N.Y.
Mike White went 27-of-44 passing for 268 yards in the defeat for
the Jets (7-6), while playing through a second-half rib injury.
After both defenses dominated for most of the first half on a
cold day with mixed precipitation, Buffalo (10-3) broke through
just before halftime. The Bills took a 7-0 lead with 26 seconds
remaining in the second quarter on a 24-yard touchdown pass from
Allen to Dawson Knox.
Bengals 23, Browns 10
Joe Burrow passed for 239 yards and two touchdowns and
Cincinnati won its fifth consecutive game by dispatching
visiting Cleveland.
Ja'Marr Chase caught 10 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown
as the Bengals (9-4) halted a five-game skid against the Browns.
Samaje Perine rushed for a score and Trenton Irwin had a long
touchdown reception during Cincinnati's second win in the past
10 meetings with Cleveland.
Logan Wilson racked up 17 tackles for Cincinnati. Joe Mixon
rushed for 96 yards on 14 carries after missing the previous two
games due to a concussion. Deshaun Watson passed for 276 yards,
one touchdown and one interception in his second game with
Cleveland (5-8).
Cowboys 27, Texans 23
Dak Prescott threw for 284 yards and a touchdown and led a
98-yard touchdown drive in the final minutes to pace host Dallas
to a come-from-behind win over Houston in Arlington, Texas.
Prescott's late heroics -- he was 6-for-7 on the final touchdown
drive -- helped the Cowboys overcome three turnovers, including
two interceptions. Houston (1-11-1) has lost eight consecutive
games.
Ezekiel Elliott ran 2 yards for the game-winning score with 41
seconds remaining. The touchdown put the Cowboys ahead for the
first time since the second quarter as Dallas (10-3) won its
fourth consecutive game to keep pace with Philadelphia in the
NFC East race.
Lions 34, Vikings 23
Jared Goff passed for 330 yards and three touchdowns as host
Detroit prevented Minnesota from clinching the NFC North title
outright.
DJ Chark caught six passes for 94 yards and a touchdown, while
Jameson Williams scored a 41-yard touchdown on his first NFL
reception for the Lions (6-7), who have won five of their past
six games.
Kirk Cousins passed for 425 yards and two touchdowns for
Minnesota (10-3), and Justin Jefferson caught 11 passes for a
franchise-record 223 yards.
Ravens 16, Steelers 14
J.K. Dobbins rushed for a season-high 120 yards and a touchdown
to lead visiting Baltimore to a victory over Pittsburgh.
Dobbins carried the ball 15 times to headline a Ravens offense
that racked up 215 yards on the ground. Justin Tucker added
three field goals, including a 30-yarder with 3:19 left to play
that put the finishing touches on the victory for Baltimore
(9-4).
Both starting quarterbacks were forced to exit the game due to
concussion protocol. Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett left late in the
first quarter, and the Ravens' Tyler Huntley, who was filling in
for an injured Lamar Jackson, departed late in the third. The
Steelers (5-8) cut their deficit to 16-14 with 2:30 remaining on
Trubisky's 10-yard scoring strike to Pat Freiermuth, but never
had a chance to engineer a potential game-winning drive.
Jaguars 36, Titans 22
Trevor Lawrence threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth
TD as visiting Jacksonville kept its slim playoff hopes alive
with the victory over AFC South-leading Tennessee in Nashville,
Tenn.
Lawrence completed 30 of 42 passes for a career-high 368 yards,
finding tight end Evan Engram 11 times for 162 yards and two
touchdowns. The result improved Jacksonville to 5-8, two games
behind Tennessee (7-6) in the division.
It was the third straight loss for the Titans, who got 121
rushing yards and a touchdown from Derrick Henry, who broke a
string of four consecutive games under 100 yards. But he rushed
for just 24 yards after the first quarter Sunday as Jacksonville
took the Titans out of their game plan by scoring 26 consecutive
points.
Chiefs 34, Broncos 28
Patrick Mahomes was 28-for-42 passing for 352 yards, three
touchdowns and three interceptions, Jerick McKinnon had seven
catches for 112 yards and two scores and visiting Kansas City
beat Denver.
JuJu Smith-Schuster had 74 yards and one touchdown on nine
receptions for Kansas City (10-3). The Chiefs have won 14
straight against Denver. Russell Wilson was 23-for-36 passing
for 247 yards, three touchdowns and an interception before
leaving in the fourth quarter with a concussion, and Jerry Jeudy
had eight receptions for 73 yards and three TDs for the Broncos
(3-10).
After falling behind 27-0, the Broncos started to come back.
Josey Jewell intercepted Mahomes at the Kansas City 42-yard
line. Four plays later, Wilson hit Jeudy on an 18-yard touchdown
pass to get Denver on the board with 1:35 left in the first
half. Wilson later connected with Jeudy again, this time from 5
yards, to make it 27-14 at halftime. Denver made it 27-21 when
Wilson threw a 66-yard TD pass to Marlon Mack early in the
third.
Panthers 30, Seahawks 24
Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass and Carolina's defense made
several key plays as the Panthers won a road game for the first
time in six tries this season, defeating Seattle.
Carolina (5-8) is within a game of the NFC South lead with a
strong resurgence under interim coach Steve Wilks. Racking up
223 rushing yards was huge in the team's latest success, with
Chuba Hubbard and D'Onta Foreman both picking up 74 yards.
The Seahawks (7-6) have dropped three of their last four games
and are losing the grip on an NFC playoff spot. Seahawks
quarterback Geno Smith couldn't overcome a pair of first-half
interceptions. He finished 21-for-36 with 264 passing yards and
three touchdowns.
