The New England Patriots inflicted Buffalo’s first defeat of the season as quarterback Drake Maye bounced back with three touchdowns in a 29-26 win, while the Los Angeles Rams surged late to win at Philadelphia.
On a packed day of drama, the Dallas Cowboys also edged a thrilling Texas showdown in Houston, while the Indianapolis Colts ran out as winners in the NFL’s latest foray to London. Romeo Doubs grabbed a pair of touchdown receptions, before Chism’s game-winner, which was followed by a successful two-point conversion. Maye ended the game with 269 passing yards and another 54 rushing. But a pair of late Kyren Williams touchdowns sealed a 24-20 victory, made all the more painful for the Eagles by a hamstring injury to star running back Saquon Barkley early in the game. CJ Stroud attempted a 50-yard hail mary pass with nine seconds remaining, but could not salvage a game that the Texans had largely led. In the NFL’s latest London game, Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor ran for two touchdowns as the Colts defeated the injury-hit Washington Commanders 30-13. Elsewhere, Baltimore defeated the hapless Tennessee Titans 24-18, though the victory was tarnished by an ankle injury for quarterback Lamar Jackson, who did not return after halftime.
“The crowd was electric, the energy was amazing and I can’t wait to come back to London,” said Taylor, at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
