Allen passed for 329 yards and three touchdowns for the Bills,
who have the best record in the AFC. Stefon Diggs had 10
receptions for 148 yards and one touchdown, Gabe Davis had a
scoring catch and Kaiir Elam also had an interception for
Buffalo.
Patrick Mahomes passed for 338 yards, two touchdowns and two
interceptions for the Chiefs (4-2). JuJu Smith-Schuster caught
five passes for 113 yards and one touchdown, and Travis Kelce
had eight catches for 108 yards. Kelce caught a pass for the
132nd consecutive regular-season game, breaking a tie with Pro
Football Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the longest streak in
Chiefs' history. Harrison Butker kicked a franchise-record
62-yard field goal for the Chiefs.
Butker booted a 44-yard goal to give the Chiefs a 20-17 lead
with 9:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. But Allen later
guided the Bills on a 12-play, 76-yard drive and hit Knox for
the go-ahead points. An 18-yard completion to Diggs and a
16-yard keeper by Allen were among the key plays on the
excursion.
Eagles 26, Cowboys 17
Unbeaten host Philadelphia capped an electric sports weekend by
ending NFC East rival Dallas' four-game winning streak.
The Eagles (6-0) soared to a 20-0 lead late in the first half
and held on. Dallas (4-2) slipped to third place in the division
behind the New York Giants (5-1). Across the street, the
Philadelphia Phillies defeated the defending World Series
champion Atlanta Braves on Friday and Saturday to advance to the
National League Championship Series.
Jalen Hurts passed for 155 yards and two touchdowns as the
Eagles matched the 1981 team for the second-best start in
franchise history. Hurts' 7-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith
with 7:02 remaining capped the scoring and helped to thwart a
Cowboys comeback bid. Momentum shifted in the third quarter, as
the Cowboys got within 20-10 on Ezekiel Elliott's 14-yard run.
Cooper Rush's 7-yard touchdown pass to Jake Ferguson trimmed the
Dallas deficit to 20-17 with 14:39 left in the game.
Falcons 28, 49ers 14
Marcus Mariota led a time-consuming offense with near-perfect
accuracy, throwing two passing touchdowns and adding a rushing
score to lead Atlanta over visiting San Francisco.
After a 13-for-13 start, Mariota finished 13-for-14 for 129
yards and the two scores. He also contributed 50 yards and a
touchdown on six carries, helping the Falcons outrush the
visitors 168-50 en route to a third win in their last four
outings.
Jimmy Garoppolo threw two first-half touchdown passes to Brandon
Aiyuk, but also mixed in a pair of interceptions on a 29-for-41,
296-yard day. George Kittle and Aiyuk each finished with eight
catches for 83 yards for the 49ers.

Bailey Zappe completed 24 of 34 passes for a career-high 309
yards and two touchdowns and visiting New England held on to a
late lead to defeat Cleveland.

19 carries, and four receivers eclipsed the 60-yard mark for the
Patriots. Rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton had a receiving
touchdown and a 19-yard rushing score.
The Browns pulled within 24-15 thanks to a 51-yard field goal
from Cade York and Amari Cooper's 15-yard touchdown reception
from Jacoby Brissett. The Browns then attempted an onside kick
and recovered, but the call was overturned upon review. Brissett
threw for 266 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions on
21-of-45 passing.
Jets 27, Packers 10
Rookie running back Breece Hall ran for 116 yards and a
touchdown as New York toppled host Green Bay.
The Jets moved ahead with 8:11 remaining in the third quarter on
a sweep to wide receiver Braxton Berrios for a 20-yard
touchdown. Less than three minutes later, Jets defensive lineman
Micheal Clemons blocked Pat O'Donnell's punt. It was recovered
by safety Will Parks, who ran 20 yards for a touchdown and a
17-3 lead.
Aaron Rodgers found Allen Lazard for a 25-yard touchdown for the
Packers, but Hall broke off a 34-yard touchdown run on the first
play of the fourth quarter as the Jets won their third straight
game.
Colts 34, Jaguars 27
Matt Ryan set a franchise record for completions with 42,
including a game-winning 32-yard touchdown pass to rookie Alec
Pierce with 17 seconds left as host Indianapolis rallied for a
win over Jacksonville.
Ryan, who attempted 58 passes and threw for 389 yards with three
scores, hit Pierce for his first NFL touchdown and prevented the
Colts from needing to attempt a long field goal for the win.
Jacksonville took a 27-26 lead with 2:44 remaining when Trevor
Lawrence found Christian Kirk for a 4-yard scoring strike.
Lawrence enjoyed an efficient if not huge statistical day,
hitting 20 of 22 attempts for 163 yards and adding a pair of
short touchdown runs.
Vikings 24, Dolphins 16
Kirk Cousins completed 20 of 30 passes for 175 yards and two
touchdowns, Dalvin Cook capped his homecoming with a late
53-yard touchdown run and Minnesota extended its winning streak
to four games by winning at Miami.
The Vikings dominated on defense most of the game, recording six
sacks, led by two each for Za'Darius Smith and Pat Jones.
For the third consecutive game, the Dolphins were forced to
switch quarterbacks. Teddy Bridgewater, just out of concussion
protocol, followed Skylar Thompson (thumb) and completed 23 of
34 passes for 329 yards and two TDs, but was intercepted twice
and sacked five times.
Bengals 30, Saints 26
Joe Burrow threw three touchdown passes as visiting Cincinnati
came from behind in the fourth quarter to defeat New Orleans.
Burrow completed 28 of 37 passes for 300 yards and connected
with Ja'Marr Chase for two touchdowns in the second half as the
Bengals took the lead for the first time with 1:57 remaining.
Former Bengal Andy Dalton, making his third consecutive start in
place of the injured Jameis Winston, passed for 162 yards and a
touchdown for the Saints.
Giants 24, Ravens 20
Julian Love's interception set up Saquon Barkley's go-ahead,
1-yard touchdown with 1:43 remaining to lift New York over
Baltimore at East Rutherford, N.J.
The Giants rallied from a 10-point deficit in the final 12:54
after Lamar Jackson's 12-yard touchdown pass to Mark Andrews
gave the Ravens a 20-10 lead. Daniel Jones went 19-for-27
passing for 173 yards with two touchdowns, while Barkley rushed
for 83 yards and a score on 22 carries.
Jackson went 17-for-32 passing for 210 yards with a touchdown
and an interception, in addition to rushing for 77 yards on
seven carries. He also fumbled on the Ravens' final possession,
sealing the loss. Kenyan Drake rushed for 119 yards and a
touchdown on 10 carries.
Steelers 20, Buccaneers 18
Mitchell Trubisky tossed a 6-yard touchdown pass to Chase
Claypool early in the fourth quarter to lift host Pittsburgh to
a victory over Tampa Bay.
In for an injured Kenny Pickett, Trubisky completed 9 of 12
passes for 144 yards and Claypool had seven receptions for 96
yards. The two connected on a scoring strike with 9:55 left in
the fourth quarter to help the Steelers snap a four-game losing
skid.
Tom Brady hooked up with Leonard Fournette on an 11-yard
touchdown to bring Tampa Bay within two with 4:38 to play.
Brady, however, was unable to connect with Chris Godwin on the
ensuing two-point conversion attempt.
Rams 24, Panthers 10
Wide receiver Ben Skowronek scored on a 17-yard run in the final
seconds of the third quarter to help lift Los Angeles past
visiting Carolina.
Darrell Henderson Jr. scored on a 2-yard run midway through the
fourth quarter as the Rams picked up 232 of their 360 total
yards after halftime. The Panthers were brutal on offense in
their first game under interim coach Steve Wilks after Monday's
firing of Matt Rhule. Their only touchdown came on an
interception return.
Matthew Stafford threw for 253 yards on 26-for-33 passing with a
touchdown and an interception for the Rams. Donte Jackson
returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown that provided
the Panthers with a 10-7 lead with 1:58 to play in the first
half.
Seahawks 19, Cardinals 9
Rookie Kenneth Walker III, making his first career start, rushed
for 97 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries and Seattle kept
Arizona's offense out of the end zone to coast to victory.
Jason Myers kicked four field goals -- from 39, 27, 34 and 32
yards -- for the Seahawks, who pulled into a first-place tie
with the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC
West while leaving the Cardinals alone in last.
With Seattle leading 12-3, the game's first touchdown came via
Arizona's special teams with 54 seconds left in the third
quarter. Michael Dickson stood just inside his own goal line
ready to punt when the Cardinals' Ezekiel Turner rushed
untouched up the middle. Dickson, realizing he had no chance to
get a kick away, tried to run but Turner forced a fumble that
was recovered by teammate Chris Banjo in the end zone. Matt
Ammendola missed the extra point, leaving Seattle with a 12-9
lead.
