NFL Roundup: Allen's Big Day Paces Bills to Wild Win; Brissett Breaks Completions Record in Denver
The National Football League wrapped up a thrilling week with several high-scoring matches that saw some impressive performances from their players. Josh Allen, the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills, put on a show as he led his team to a wild 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Allen became the first NFL player to score three touchdowns passing and three rushing in two games when he threw for 317 yards and rushed for another score in the final minute. His long-range passes were particularly effective, with all three of his touchdown throws going for 25 yards or more. Despite having two interceptions in the first half, Allen's determination and clutch performances ultimately sealed the win for Buffalo.
The Denver Broncos also enjoyed a thrilling victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, 22-19, as kicker Wil Lutz scored a game-winning 35-yard field goal at the end of overtime to improve their record to 9-2. This narrow margin highlights the competitiveness in the AFC West division and puts pressure on the Chiefs, who have now lost five consecutive games.
Christian McCaffrey's impressive performance helped the San Francisco 49ers secure a convincing 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. With three touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns, Christian McCaffrey cemented his status as one of the top players in the league. The Bills' tight end George Kittle also had an outstanding game with two touchdown catches.
The Seattle Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams 21-19 despite a strong performance from quarterback Sam Darnold, who completed 23 passes for 281 yards but threw four interceptions in his first start since 2019. Meanwhile, Matthew Stafford led his team to their fifth consecutive victory as he passed for 251 yards and two touchdowns.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews came from behind to secure a 35-23 win over the Cleveland Browns, with Andrews scoring the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. The veteran player extended his career totals and now holds the franchise's record for receiving yards.
Quarterback Bryce Young put on an incredible display as he threw for a career-high 448 yards in a 30-27 overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons. Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a game-winning field goal to seal the victory, sending the Panthers to their first win over their NFC South rivals this season.
The Cincinnati Bengals struggled with quarterback injuries throughout their 34-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mason Rudolph took over after Aaron Rodgers was forced out due to an injury and threw for 127 yards before being replaced by backup Dwayne Haskins.
In another dominant performance, the Los Angeles Chargers lost 35-6 at home to the Jacksonville Jaguars, with the team putting up a dismal showing of just eight first downs. The win marked the sixth consecutive game that quarterback Trevor Lawrence has thrown multiple touchdown passes in.
