The Arizona Cardinals rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat the Dallas Cowboys 33-30 in overtime on Sunday, while Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson faces a possible season-ending thumb injury.
Cardinals' Overtime Thriller
Chad Ryland kicked a winning 42-yard field goal in overtime after missing a PAT that would have won the game with six seconds left in regulation. The Cardinals beat Dallas for the fifth consecutive time and improved to 5-0 at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Cowboys that opened in 2009.
This was by far the most crushing of those for the Cowboys (3-5), who didn't trail until the final kick and led by two touchdowns early in the fourth quarter. Arizona (3-5) stayed in the game thanks to Tyler Allgeier's 63-yard touchdown run, a career long, followed by a 50-yarder to set up his second touchdown on a five-yard catch, all in the second half. He had 191 scrimmage yards (147 yards rushing, 44 receiving), all but seven coming after half-time.
Dallas Defense Buckles
The Dallas defense was having its best showing of the season before buckling in the last 16 minutes, particularly the final minute. The Cardinals went 80 yards in eight plays after taking over with 1:05 left in regulation, tying the score at 30-30 on Gardner Minshew's 14-yard touchdown to Michael Wilson with six seconds to go. Ryland was wide left on the PAT kick after making his previous 58.
Ravens Lose Jackson to Injury
The Buffalo Bills beat the Baltimore Ravens 36-10, with Josh Allen setting the franchise record for career touchdown passes and also rushing for a score. The Ravens (4-4) lost quarterbacks Lamar Jackson (right thumb) and Tyler "Snoop" Huntley (right toe) in the first half while dropping their third straight game. Jackson missed the previous three games with a left ankle injury.
Ravens coach Jesse Minter said after the game that Jackson needs surgery on the injured thumb and his season could be over. "That'll be a surgery deal. He'll go to [injured reserve]," Minter said. "That's a tough deal."
Allen's 11-yard scoring pass to DJ Moore with 12:18 left in the game was the 259th of his career, a mark that includes postseason play. The previous record was held by Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, who threw 237 in the regular season and 21 in the postseason for the Bills. Allen later threw a second touchdown pass and was 21-of-34 passing for 289 yards and one interception as Buffalo (6-1) won their third straight game. James Cook III rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown for Buffalo.
Lions Hand Vikings First Loss
Jared Goff threw a go-ahead, seven-yard touchdown pass to Jameson Williams with 4:35 left and the Detroit Lions beat the Minnesota Vikings 19-15, handing the NFL's last undefeated team their first loss. The Lions (5-2) have won three straight, including their first two division games in the tight NFC North. The Vikings (6-1) had a chance to stay unbeaten, but the league's stingiest defense couldn't hold on to a late lead, and they lost for the first time since 30 November 2025. The Lions lost All-Pro linebacker to a neck injury and he was taken to hospital.
Buccaneers Win Without a Completion
Baker Mayfield didn't complete a pass but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Atlanta Falcons 16-0 behind Bucky Irving and Kenny Gainwell's rushing on a wet, sloppy field. The Buccaneers set a team record for yards rushing in a game with 324, and became the first team to have zero completions since Buffalo in September 1974. Irving ran for 170 yards and a touchdown on 27 carries, Gainwell ran for 140 on 25 carries and Chase McLaughlin kicked three field goals to stay perfect this season. Mayfield was 0 for 3 passing. Atlanta's Michael Penix Jr threw four interceptions. Both teams are 3-5.
Steelers Top Browns
Jaylen Warren tied a career high with 143 rushing yards and a touchdown on his 28th birthday to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Steelers moved into first place all alone at 6-2 after beating the Browns at home for the 23rd straight time in the regular season, tying an NFL record. The Steelers dominated the line of scrimmage, rushing for 200 yards, including 160 in the first half alone. Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson spent most of the day under heavy pressure. The Steelers sacked Watson eight times to drop the Browns to 5-3.
Jaguars Rout Colts
Trevor Lawrence threw three touchdown passes, including one to the previously benched receiver Brian Thomas Jr, and the Jacksonville Jaguars dominated the Indianapolis Colts 42-7 in the rain to extend their home winning streak in the series to 12. Lawrence also connected with Bhayshul Tuten in the third quarter and rookie Nate Boerkircher on a 31-yarder in an opening half filled with big plays for the 5-2 Jaguars. It came five days after the 2-6 Colts traded two of their best players, defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and longtime guard Quenton Nelson, to kickstart a rebuilding effort.
Raiders Comeback Over Jets
Kirk Cousins threw two of his three touchdown passes in the second half and ran for another score to lead the Las Vegas Raiders to a 38-33 comeback victory over the New York Jets. Cousins completed 19 of 26 passes for 247 yards as the Raiders (4-4) stopped a four-game skid, erasing a pair of nine-point deficits by scoring 17 of the game's final 20 points. Las Vegas ended a streak of 12 straight losses when trailing at half-time. The Jets (2-6) scored on their first six possessions but frequently stalled in the red zone.
