NFL ROUNDUP: DOWN 21-0, COWBOYS RALLY TO BEAT EAGLES ON FINAL PLAY

Brandon Aubrey converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday.

Aubrey’s kick, the second game-winner of his career, capped a nine-play, 49-yard drive in the final 1:35. The big play was Dak Prescott’s 24-yard completion to George Pickens that got Dallas (5-5-1) to the Philadelphia 22 with 35 seconds left, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts and setting up the clutch field goal.

Prescott hit on 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 8-yard scramble with 11:40 left, complete with a somersault into the end zone, tied the game at 21. Pickens grabbed nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, while CeeDee Lamb had four receptions for 75 yards.

Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 throws for 289 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores for the Eagles (8-3). A.J. Brown hauled in a season-best eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held to a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries.

Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT)

Harrison Butker kicked five field goals, including the decisive 27-yarder with 1:57 left in overtime, to give host Kansas City a victory over Indianapolis.

Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and one interception as Kansas City (6-5) prevailed in a one-score game for the first time in six opportunities this season. Last season, the Chiefs went 12-0, including a postseason victory, in such situations. Kareem Hunt rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 141 yards for Kansas City, which overcame an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak.

Daniel Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts (8-3). Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree caught touchdown passes and Laiatu Latu had an interception. Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 16 carries, with 27 yards coming on one handoff.

Packers 23, Vikings 6

Injury replacement Emanuel Wilson ran for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns to pace host Green Bay to a victory over Minnesota in an NFC North matchup.

Wilson, filling in for injured starter Josh Jacobs, was the first 100-yard rusher this season for the Packers. Green Bay (7-3-1) remains a half-game behind division-leading Chicago and a half-game ahead of defending division champion Detroit. The game against the Vikings was the first of five against division rivals in a seven-game span.

Minnesota (4-7) managed just 145 yards of total offense in its fifth loss over the last six games. J.J. McCarthy, making his sixth career start, completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions with a passer rating of 34.2. McCarthy was under near-constant pressure and sacked five times.

Lions 34, Giants 27 (OT)

Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns, including a 69-yard TD run in overtime, as host Detroit turned aside New York’s upset attempt.

Gibbs also had a 49-yard scoring run and a 3-yard touchdown reception for the Lions (7-4). Jared Goff passed for 279 yards and two scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes — including his 500th career reception — for 149 yards and a touchdown.

Detroit kicker Jake Bates’ 59-yard field goal in the final minute sent the game to OT. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards and two scores and also caught a TD pass for the Giants (2-10), who have lost six straight. Wan’Dale Robinson caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score.

Ravens 23, Jets 10

Derrick Henry ran for two third-quarter touchdowns and Baltimore posted its fifth straight win, stopping visiting New York.

Baltimore (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, after the Steelers fell to the Bears in Chicago. New York (2-9) suffered its second straight loss.

Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards for the Ravens, while Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. New York running back Breece Hall accounted for 119 yards from scrimmage, although he was held to 44 yards on 16 rushes.

Patriots 26, Bengals 20

Drake Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and New England held on for a win over host Cincinnati.

Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (10-2), who won their ninth game in a row. Andy Borregales made four field goals.

Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-8). Chase Brown had 19 carries for 107 yards.

Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24 (OT)

Trevor Lawrence passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming three interceptions and four turnovers, and Cam Little’s 52-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime gave Jacksonville a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, advanced the Cardinals to the Jaguars’ 42-yard line on their final drive before throwing two incompletions. Michael Wilson had 10 receptions for 118 yards and Trey McBride had nine for 79 yards for Arizona (3-8).

Travis Etienne had 86 yards rushing and scored on a 15-yard pass on the Jaguars’ first drive of the game, which covered 97 yards. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers also caught touchdowns for Jacksonville (7-4).

Browns 24, Raiders 10

In his first career NFL start, highly publicized rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did just enough to push Cleveland to its first road win of the season with a victory over Las Vegas.

Sanders mostly stayed out of trouble in his debut, completing 11 of 20 for 209 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns (3-8). The 23-year-old threw his first career touchdown pass with 8:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Dylan Sampson on a screen pass that Sampson promptly ran 66 yards into the end zone.

The star of the show, however, was Cleveland’s defensive front. The Browns tallied 10 sacks, completely stifling the Raiders (2-9). Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown toss to rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who gained just 50 yards on 17 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.

Bears 31, Steelers 28

Caleb Williams passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and Kyle Monangai rushed for a score to lift surging Chicago past visiting Pittsburgh.

The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) stretched their winning streak to four, with each victory coming by one score. D.J. Moore led the team with five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards.

Chicago withstood a late rally from the Steelers (6-5), who fell into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was unable to play with a left wrist fracture that forced him from last week’s win against Cincinnati. Rudolph finished 24 of 31 for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception. Kenneth Gainwell gained 92 yards on 10 carries, and Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf rushed for scores.

Falcons 24, Saints 10

Kirk Cousins passed for two touchdowns and visiting Atlanta ended a five-game losing streak by defeating New Orleans.

Cousins completed 16 of 23 passes for 199 yards for the Falcons (4-7) as he filled in for Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury a week earlier. Star running back Bijan Robinson had 107 total yards on 16 touches for Atlanta.

Tyler Shough passed for 243 of the 293 total yards for the Saints (2-9), who did not score an offensive touchdown. Running back Alvin Kamara left the game after injuring a knee in the first quarter and did not return. Chris Olave led New Orleans with 70 yards on nine receptions.

Seahawks 30, Titans 24

Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle defeated Tennessee in Nashville.

Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver, had eight catches for 167 yards for the Seahawks (8-3). Darnold, who threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, was 16 of 26 for 244 yards. Kenneth Walker III rushed for a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.

Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this spring’s draft, was 28 of 42 for 256 passing yards and a touchdown and rushed for a team-high 37 yards and a score for the Titans (1-10), who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Ward threw a 1-yard TD pass to Chimere Dike with 43 seconds remaining, but the ensuing onside kick didn’t go 10 yards and Seattle ran out the clock.

THERE ARE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS AFTER NFL GAMES SUNDAY

The Kansas City Chiefs saved their season. The Philadelphia Eagles gave critics more fuel. The Los Angeles Rams made a dominant statement.

There are more questions than answers Sunday in the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes did just enough to rally the Chiefs to a 23-20 overtime victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Kansas City’s dominant defense gave him the opportunity.

Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s unit forced the Colts to go three-and-out on their final four possessions. The Chiefs shut down the NFL’s leading rusher, holding Jonathan Taylor to 58 yards on 16 carries. Colts coach Shane Steichen inexplicably gave Taylor the ball only once on the last three drives of regulation.

Mahomes threw for 352 yards but didn’t have any touchdowns. He looked skittish at times under pressure, rushing his reads and hurrying his passes.

The Chiefs (6-5) couldn’t afford another loss as they fight to make the playoffs after winning nine straight AFC West titles, reaching eight consecutive conference championship games and winning three Super Bowls.

They’ve got a long way to go and a tough game at Dallas (5-5-1) coming up on Thanksgiving Day. Mahomes and the offense need to get in sync for Kansas City to have a shot.

“We’re still not where we want to be at but this was big,” Mahomes said. “Getting that win against a really good football team and kind of proving it to (ourselves) that we can play this kind of football game where it’s not always pretty. I think now we just have to build off that momentum. It’s going to be a short week. We’re playing a good team in the Cowboys, and they can score some points and they have a lot of great players. It’s about rebounding fast, trying to be better, even better this next week going into a big environment, big game and trying to get that win.”

The Colts (8-3) have gone from 7-1 to a team that is going to have to battle to win the AFC South. They’ll face division rivals Jacksonville (7-4) and Houston (6-5) four times over the remaining six games. Their other two opponents are Seattle (8-3) and San Francisco (7-4).

Steichen trusted Daniel Jones to win the game in Kansas City, electing to put the ball in his hands down the stretch instead of giving it to Taylor to protect a lead. Jones couldn’t deliver. He was 3 for 9 for 17 yards on the final four possessions.

“I felt there was a lot of stuff that I wanted to get called that I felt good about in the pass game and we just weren’t efficient doing it and it starts with me,” Steichen said.

Eagles collapse

The reigning Super Bowl champions built a 21-0 lead in Dallas and looked like they were on their way to snapping Dak Prescott’s 18-game winning streak at home against NFC East opponents.

Jalen Hurts was connecting with A.J. Brown and it seemed Philadelphia would quiet some of the drama surrounding the two superstars.

But the offense regressed, giving Prescott and the Cowboys an opportunity to come back and win 24-21.

The Eagles (8-3) have a comfortable lead over Dallas (5-5-1) and are in position to become the first repeat champion in the division in two decades. But Philadelphia fell behind the Rams (9-2) in the race for the No. 1 seed.

A sluggish offense isn’t playing up to its standard. Saquon Barkley ran for only 22 yards on 10 carries, and the passing attack just hasn’t found its rhythm.

Rams dominate

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were no match for Matthew Stafford and the Rams.

Stafford continued his MVP-caliber campaign with another stellar performance against an overmatched defense and Los Angeles cruised to a 34-7 victory over Tampa Bay.

The 37-year-old Stafford has thrown 30 touchdown passes and only two interceptions this season.

“I got great teammates. I get to throw to a bunch of great players, stand behind a good o-line and watch these guys hunt on defense,” Stafford said.

That defense overwhelmed the Buccaneers, knocking Baker Mayfield out of the game.

Jared Verse and Kobie Turner each had two sacks and Los Angeles is playing the team to beat in the NFC.

First to 10

Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are the first team to reach 10 wins this season after holding on for a 26-20 victory in Cincinnati.

The Patriots have a 2 1/2-game lead over Buffalo (7-4) in the AFC East with eight of their wins coming against teams that have a losing record.

With three of their last five games against teams that are currently 8-26 combined, New England is position to win its first division title since Tom Brady left and has an inside track to earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

But the Patriots still have a lot to prove, especially against more experienced playoff teams.

RAIDERS FIRE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR CHIP KELLY

The Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, the team announced on Sunday night after a 24-10 home loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Kelly lasted just 11 games in his return to the NFL.

“I spoke with Chip Kelly earlier this evening and informed him of his release as offensive coordinator of the Raiders,” head coach Pete Carroll, in his first season with Las Vegas, said in a statement after team fell to 2-9. “I would like to thank Chip for his service and wish him all the best in the future.”

Las Vegas ranked 30th in points, total yards, rushing yards, offensive EPA and red-zone efficiency entering Week 12 under Kelly. Veteran quarterback Geno Smith has regressed with the Raiders after his resurgence in Seattle, throwing 13 interceptions along with 13 TDs through 10 games this year after tossing 15 picks in 17 contests last season. Smith was 30 of 44 for 285 yards with one TD and no picks, but he also was sacked 10 times.

Kelly, who turns 62 on Tuesday, talked to NFL reporter Jay Glazer after the game that the team has not won enough for him to keep his job.

“I am grateful for the opportunity with the Raiders; bottom line in this league you have to win,” Kelly said. “I really loved those players. I’m a huge, huge Geno Smith fan. That was one of the best parts of this experience for me, working with Geno and those guys every day.

“But hey, we gotta win. I get it.”

Prized rookie running back Ashton Jeanty has averaged just 3.6 yards per carry. He had 17 rushes for 50 yards, a 2.9 average, on Sunday.

Kelly landed in Las Vegas after last appearing on an NFL sideline with the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. The Niners went 2-14 with Kelly at the helm. He also coached the Philadelphia Eagles during a near-three-season stint, which ended in 2015 with the Eagles sitting at 6-9. His overall NFL head coaching record is 28-35.

But Kelly regained his footing in the collegiate ranks, spending six seasons as UCLA’s head coach before helping Ohio State win a national title last campaign as the Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator.

Kelly parlayed that success into a reported $6-million average annual salary with Las Vegas, which would make him the highest paid offensive coordinator in the NFL. But Kelly couldn’t make it past Week 12 as Las Vegas compiled just 268 total yards in the setback to Cleveland.

The move comes less than two weeks after Carroll said he and Kelly are “always working to continue to grow together as much as we can and be representative,” and after he credited the soon-to-be 62-year-old for having “a world of experience that I’ve counted on throughout.”

Kelly isn’t the first of Carroll’s assistants to fail to make it through a nightmarish season for the Raiders, who now sit at 2-9. Special teams coordinator Tom McMahon got the boot on Nov. 7.
