BALTIMORE (AP) — Tyler Bass hit a 21-yarder on the final play of the game and Josh Allen rallied the Buffalo Bills from a 17-point deficit to beat the Baltimore Ravens 23-20 on Sunday.
Tied at 20 in the final quarter, the Ravens (2-2) took over on second down from the Buffalo 1-yard line. Two consecutive runs fell short of the endzone.
On fourth-and-2, Lamar Jackson had to scramble before throwing a pass into the end zone that was intercepted by Jordan Poyer for a touchdown with 4:09 left.
From there, Allen calmly led Buffalo (3-1) to the field goal, completing his team’s comeback from a 20-3 deficit late in the second quarter.
J. K. Dobbins scored the first two touchdowns for the Ravens, but they allowed Allen to complete a 4-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah McKenzie in the closing seconds of the first half to make it 20-10.
VIKINGS 28, SAINTS 25
LONDON (AP) — Greg Joseph hit a 47-yard field goal with 24 seconds left and Minnesota continued to beat New Orleans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Will Lutz’s tying 61-yard field goal hit the left post , and then into the crossbar at the end of time.
Justin Jefferson beat Marshawn Latimer on a 39-yard reception to set up Joseph’s gutsy punt — after the kicker missed an extra point earlier in the quarter to leave the Vikings up 25-22.
The Saints (1-3) then went on an eight-play drive and Lutz booted a 60-yard field goal with 1:51 left in the game. But Lutz’s next attempt came up just short, as New Orleans gave up a third straight.
Kirk Cousins completed 25 of 38 passes for 273 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Vikings, under first-year coach Kevin O’Connell, are off to their best start since going 4-0 in 2016.
PACKERS 27, PATRIOTS 24
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Mason Crosby hit a 31-yard field goal in overtime to give Green Bay a win over New England.

Zepe and the Patriots (1-3) played well enough to force overtime, but Aaron Rodgers bounced back after a terrible first half.
Each team had the ball three times in its first overtime. The Packers (3-1) then went 77 yards on a 12-play drive that lasted nearly seven minutes before Crosby made the game-winning kick.
Rodgers went 21 of 35 for 251 yards and two TDs, also connecting with tight end Robert Tonian. Aaron Jones rushed for 110 yards.
Zeppe was 10 of 15 for 99 yards, including a 25-yard touchdown pass to Devante Parker.

Wilson led the Jets 65 yards on 10 plays, the last when Hall crossed the goal line.
Wilson was 18 of 36 for 252 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also became the first quarterback in Jets history to catch a touchdown when he caught a 2-yard pass from Braxton Berrios in the second quarter.
The Jets led 10-6 at halftime when the Steelers inserted Pickett, who became the first QB in NFL history to throw a pair of touchdowns in his debut. The second was a 2-yard scramble that gave the Steelers (1-3) a 20-10 lead with 13:41 left.

The Eagles (4-0) shook off a terrible start as Hurts intercepted an Andre Sisco pass and returned it 59 yards for a TD. Lawrence hit the Fire from 4 yards out to give the Jaguars (2-2) a 14-0 lead in the first quarter.
COWBOYS 25, COMMANDER 10
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Cooper Rush came through again in place of Dak Prescott, throwing a touchdown pass to Michael Gallup in the receiver’s 2022 debut as Dallas beat Washington.

Davis Mills threw for 246 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, starting after a slow first half. A bright spot for the Texans (0-3-1) was a continued strong game from rookie running back Dameon Pierce, who rushed for 131 yards, highlighted by a 75-yard run in the second quarter.
