Falcons ride strong running game to victory over Vikings
Michael Penix Jr. completed 13 of 21 passes for 135 yards for Atlanta (1-1), which bounced back from a season-opening loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Falcons compiled 218 rushing yards and outgained the Vikings 326-198.
JJ McCarthy completed 11 of 21 passes for 158 yards and two interceptions for Minnesota (1-1), which had just 78 rushing yards. Justin Jefferson caught three passes for 81 yards.
Allgeier scored the game's lone touchdown with under four minutes to play. The Falcons finished with five field goals and the Vikings kicked a pair.
The Falcons led 6-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Former Vikings kicker Parker Romo, who signed with Atlanta after a tryout this week, took full advantage of his first opportunity with his new team. He made a 38-yard field goal with 11:12 left in the first quarter and a 29-yard field goal with 6:48 remaining in the quarter.
Will Reichard joined the action with a 33-yard field goal for the Vikings with 7:06 remaining in the first half.
Romo answered with a 33-yarder to make it 9-3 with 25 seconds left in the half.
The Vikings' offense showed a glimpse of excitement on the next drive. McCarthy connected with Justin Jefferson for a 50-yard completion, which set the stage for a 51-yard kick by Reichard to cut the deficit to 9-6 as time expired in the half.
The second half followed a similar pattern.
Romo made a 33-yard field goal to increase Atlanta's lead to 12-6 with 6:17 remaining in the third quarter. He struck again, this time from 54 yards, to extend the Falcons' advantage to 15-6 with 11:16 left in the game.
Allgeier punched in a 5-yard run to make it 22-6 with 3:22 left. The score capped off a 12-play, 83-yard drive.
Vikings center Ryan Kelly and left tackle Justin Skule each left the game and were placed in concussion protocol, the team announced. Kelly, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, was ruled out at halftime. Skule was ruled out in the fourth quarter.
Atlanta also lost a key starter as cornerback A.J. Terrell hurt his hamstring on a non-contact play in the second quarter and did not return.

NFL roundup: Brandon Aubrey's buzzer field goals lift Cowboys past Giants in OT
Aubrey also sent the game into overtime by converting a 64-yard field goal -- tied for the third-longest in NFL history -- as the clock hit zeroes, extending a wild game that saw two touchdowns in the final minute of regulation and seven total lead changes.
Dak Prescott went 38-of-52 passing for 361 yards and two touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb caught nine passes for 112 yards for Dallas (1-1). Prescott's 6-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens gave the Cowboys a 34-30 lead with 52 seconds remaining.
Russell Wilson went 30-of-41 passing for 450 yards and three touchdowns for New York (0-2). Malik Nabers caught nine passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead score after Pickens' TD grab.
An interception from Donovan Wilson set up the Cowboys at their own 30-yard line with two minutes left in overtime. A 14-yard scramble by Prescott set Aubrey up for his game-winning field goal, his fourth of the game.
Eagles 20, Chiefs 17
Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts rushed for one touchdown apiece, and Philadelphia held on for a win over host Kansas City.
Barkley had 22 carries for 88 yards to go along with his touchdown for Philadelphia (2-0), who defeated Kansas City in the Super Bowl last season. Hurts completed 15 of 22 passes for 101 yards and he had nine carries for 15 yards.
Patrick Mahomes completed 16 of 29 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception for Kansas City. Mahomes also rushed for a team-high 66 yards and a touchdown. With the loss, Kansas City is off to its first 0-2 start since 2014, which is also the last year the Chiefs didn't make the playoffs.
Bengals 31, Jaguars 27
Jake Browning scored on a quarterback sneak with 18 seconds left to lead an improbable comeback as Cincinnati Bengals rallied following the loss of quarterback Joe Burrow to a toe injury to defeat visiting Jacksonville.
Browning's score capped a 15-play, 92-yard drive to lead Cincinnati (2-0) to an unbeaten mark after two weeks for the first time since 2018. Browning finished 21 of 32 for 241 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.
Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions for the Jaguars (1-1). Cam Little converted a go-ahead 25-yard field goal with 11:43 to play after the Bengals had tied the score before Browning's late heroics.
Burrow left with 8:36 remaining in the second quarter and did not return after suffering a toe injury on his left foot on an Arik Armstead sack. Burrow's left cleat appeared to catch in the turf on the play. The quarterback sat at his locker with a walking boot on his left leg and left the locker room using crutches, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. The team gave no official update on his status after the game, but early signs indicate Burrow could miss several weeks, the newspaper reported.
Ravens 41, Browns 17
Lamar Jackson passed for 225 yards and four touchdowns to help spoil Joe Flacco's homecoming as Baltimore routed visiting Cleveland in an AFC North battle.
Devontez Walker caught two touchdown passes and DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace each added one as Baltimore (1-1) rebounded from a disappointing collapse against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Jackson completed 19 of 29 passes on Sunday.
Flacco, 40, completed 25 of 45 passes for 199 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Browns (0-2) in his first visit to Baltimore since his stint with the Ravens ended with the 2018 season. Flacco played 11 seasons with Baltimore and was Super Bowl MVP when the Ravens won the 2012 season championship.
Lions 52, Bears 21
Jared Goff threw five touchdown passes -- three to Amon-Ra St. Brown -- and host Detroit rolled past Chicago.
Goff hit 23 of 28 passes and racked up 334 passing yards for a nearly perfect 156.0 quarterback rating as the Lions (1-1) spoiled the return of Bears head coach Ben Johnson, their former offensive coordinator. St. Brown caught nine passes for 115 yards while Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 94 yards and a touchdown. Jameson Williams caught two passes for 108 yards and a score.
Caleb Williams passed for 207 yards and two touchdowns for the Bears (0-2). Rome Odunze caught both of Williams' scoring passes and finished with seven catches and 128 yards. Former Lion D'Andre Swift rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown.
49ers 26, Saints 21
Mac Jones threw three touchdown passes as Brock Purdy's replacement, and San Francisco held off host New Orleans.
Jones made his debut for the 49ers (2-0) in place of Purdy, who is sidelined by a toe injury, and completed 26 of 39 passes for 279 yards. Eddy Pineiro, signed to replace Jake Moody after Moody missed two kicks last week in a win over Seattle, made both field-goal attempts, from 44 and 46 yards, and made two of three extra-point attempts.
Spencer Rattler matched Jones' three touchdown passes while completing 25 of 34 for 206 yards, and Alvin Kamara rushed for 99 yards on 21 carries for the Saints (0-2).
Bills 30, Jets 10
James Cook rushed for 132 yards with two touchdowns, Matt Prater booted three field goals and Buffalo won its fourth straight meeting with New York 30-10 in East Rutherford, N.J.
Buffalo's bruising ground game, most of it between the tackles, managed 224 yards. Josh Allen completed 14 of 25 passes for 148 yards and rushed for 59 yards. Cook provided the most scintillating moment of the game, juking twice and jumping in a gallop through the line and dashing 44 yards down the right side to make it 20-0 Buffalo midway through the second quarter.
Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields was 3 of 11 for 27 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter with a concussion. Tyrod Taylor was 7 of 11 for 56 yards and a TD in relief.
Patriots 33, Dolphins 27
Antonio Gibson's 90-yard kickoff return for a touchdown helped New England beat Miami in a shootout at Miami Gardens, Fla.
Gibson's first career touchdown return was the difference in the game, coming on the ensuing kickoff 12 seconds after a 74-yard punt-return touchdown by Miami's Malik Washington gave the Dolphins the lead with 7:18 left. Miami fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2020.
New England quarterback Drake Maye sparked the offense by completing 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns with a rushing touchdown. Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was 26 of 32 for 315 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.
Seahawks 31, Steelers 17
George Holani recovered a muffed kickoff in the end zone early in the fourth quarter as Seattle defeated host Pittsburgh.
Sam Darnold completed 22 of 33 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions for the Seahawks (1-1). Kenneth Walker III rushed 13 times for 105 yards and a TD. For the Steelers (1-1), DK Metcalf made a touchdown reception against his former team. Aaron Rodgers was 18 of 33 for 203 yards with one TD, two interceptions and was sacked three times.
Seattle's Jason Myers kicked a 54-yard field goal with 12:46 remaining in regulation to break a 14-all tie. On the ensuing kickoff, the ball bounced off Pittsburgh rookie Kaleb Johnson's shoulder inside the 5-yard line and rolled to the back left of the end zone where Holani fell on it, giving the Seahawks 10 points without any time running off the clock.
Rams 33, Titans 19
Matthew Stafford threw for 298 yards and two touchdowns as Los Angeles rallied from a third-quarter deficit to topple Tennessee in Nashville.
The Rams (2-0) scored three touchdowns in the final 16:17 of regulation, with Stafford throwing touchdowns to Davis Allen and Davante Adams. Adams had six catches for 106 yards while Puka Nakua had 91 receiving yards on eight catches with a 45-yard rushing touchdown on a jet sweep.
Tennessee (0-2) QB Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL draft, hit 19 of 33 passes for 175 yards and his first touchdown. Scrambling to his right to avoid pressure, Ward threw across his body to the left side of the end zone and found Elic Ayomanor for a 9-yard score with 38 seconds remaining in the first half. Joey Slye added four field goals for the Titans, making him a perfect 8-for-8 through two games.
Cardinals 27, Panthers 22
Kyler Murray threw for 220 yards and a touchdown and Arizona's defense took care of business until the fourth quarter in a home-opener victory against Carolina in Glendale, Ariz.
Arizona linebacker Zaven Collins returned a fumble for a touchdown. The Panthers (0-2) didn't reach the end zone until almost 43 minutes into the game, yet the Cardinals (2-0) needed a late defensive stand to hold on. Murray finished 17-for-25 passing with an interception.
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young, who committed turnovers on the Panthers' first two possessions, ended up 35-for-55 for a career-high 328 yards in the air with three touchdown throws and an interception. Hunter Renfrow caught two TD passes.
Colts 29, Broncos 28
Spencer Shrader kicked a 45-yard field goal with no time left, his fifth of the game, and host Indianapolis rallied to beat Denver.
Shrader missed his initial kick from 60 yards but a 15-yard leverage penalty on Denver's Dondrea Tillman moved the ball to the Broncos' 27-yard line and gave him another chance. He split the uprights to give Indianapolis the win, lifting the team to its first 2-0 start since 2009.
Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 165 yards and had 50 more receiving yards, including a touchdown catch for the Colts. Daniel Jones was 23-of-34 passing for 316 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a score for Indianapolis. Bo Nix threw three touchdown passes and finished 22-for-30 passing for 206 yards and an interception for the Broncos, who blew an eight-point lead.

Browns not considering QB change despite Joe Flaccoâs struggles
Joe Flacco started the first two games of the season and has not been effective. Late in Sunday's 41-17 road blowout at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens, he was replaced by rookie Dillon Gabriel, who led a touchdown drive.
Asked if the Browns will think about a permanent change, Stefanski answered in the negative.
"I don't think we did good enough. I think that collectively as a team, we as an offense, we as the coaching staff, all of us didn't do a good enough job," Stefanski said.
Flacco, 40, finished the day 25-for-45 passing for 199 yards -- just 4.4 yards per attempt -- with one touchdown and one interception. He also lost a fumble. He had 290 passing yards and a touchdown in a Week 1 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals but was picked off twice.
Gabriel, 24, made his NFL debut in the fourth quarter and completed all three of his passes for 19 yards, the last one an 8-yard touchdown to Dylan Sampson.
Gabriel is the second-string quarterback on Cleveland's depth chart, and Shedeur Sanders is the third-stringer. Both were taken in the middle rounds of the NFL draft this past April.
Flacco, who was given the starting job in camp at the outset of his 18th NFL season, said he can't worry about his job security.
"It's honestly not on my mind," Flacco said. "I got to go out there and just play my game, play the way I know how to. Lead this team the best I can. All that other stuff, it is out of my control. It is what it is. I mean, the only thing I can control is how I play and how this team shows up every day. So, it really isn't in the thought process."

Eagles win Super Bowl rematch, drop Chiefs to 0-2
Barkley had 22 carries for 88 yards to go along with his touchdown for Philadelphia (2-0), who defeated Kansas City in the Super Bowl last season and won its first road game of this season. Jalen Hurts completed 15 of 22 passes for 101 yards, and he had nine carries for 15 yards and a score.
Patrick Mahomes completed 16 of 29 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and one interception for Kansas City (0-2). Mahomes also rushed for a team-high 66 yards and a touchdown.
The Chiefs outgained the Eagles 294-216 but fell short.
The Eagles inched ahead 13-10 when Jake Elliott made a 51-yard field goal with 11:28 remaining in the third quarter. That proved to be the only scoring of the quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Hurts increased the Eagles' lead to 20-10 with 7:48 to go. He scored on a 1-yard "tush push" for his third rushing touchdown in two games.
The Chiefs pulled within 20-17 with three minutes left. Mahomes fired a deep spiral down the middle of the field for a 49-yard touchdown to Tyquan Thornton.
Philadelphia recovered the Chiefs' onside kick moments later to quell the comeback bid.
The Eagles opened the scoring in the final minute of the first quarter. Barkley took the handoff and burst through the right side for a 13-yard rushing touchdown.
The play marked Barkley's second rushing touchdown in as many games and the 50th rushing touchdown of his career. The 28-year-old also has 14 receiving touchdowns.
The Chiefs pulled within 7-3 on a 56-yard field goal by Harrison Butker early in the second quarter.
Mahomes put the Chiefs on top 10-7 when he scrambled for a 13-yard touchdown with 2:44 remaining in the first half. He dove headfirst toward the right pylon for the score.
Philadelphia pulled even at 10-all when Elliott drilled a 58-yard kick as time expired at the end of the first half.

Spencer Shrader hits 5th field goal at buzzer to lift Colts past Broncos
Shrader missed his initial kick from 60 yards but a 15-yard leverage penalty on Denver's Dondrea Tillman moved the ball to the Broncos' 27-yard line and gave him another chance.
He split the uprights to give Indianapolis the win, lifting the team to its first 2-0 start since 2009.
Denver led 28-26 late in the fourth quarter when Will Lutz missed a 42-yard field goal with 3:19 remaining. The Colts drove to the Broncos' 42-yard line with three seconds left to set up the dramatic finish.
Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 165 yards and had 50 more receiving yards, including a touchdown catch. Daniel Jones was 23-of-34 passing for 316 yards and a touchdown and rushed for a score for Indianapolis.
Bo Nix threw touchdown passes to Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims Jr. and Adam Trautman and finished 22-for-30 passing for 206 yards and an interception, and J.K. Dobbins ran for 76 yards and a score for Denver (1-1).
Franklin finished with eight catches for 89 yards for the Broncos.
Denver countered two field goals by Shrader with Nix's 23-yard touchdown pass to Mims to take a 7-6 lead after the first quarter, and both offenses clicked in the second.
Jones capped an 85-yard drive with a 1-yard TD run to put Indianapolis ahead 13-7, but Nix put the Broncos ahead with touchdown passes to Franklin for 3 yards and a 2-yard toss to Trautman.
Taylor cut the deficit to 21-20 with a 7-yard TD catch from Jones heading into halftime.
Dobbins stretched the lead to 28-20 with a 5-yard scamper on the first drive of the third quarter, and Shrader's third field goal, from 36 yards out, made it 28-23 heading into the fourth.
Denver had a chance to make it a two-score game early in the final quarter, but Nix was intercepted at the Colts' 9-yard line by Cam Bynum. Taylor's 68-yard run gave Indianapolis a first down at the Broncos' 12, but Indianapolis had to settle for a 28-yard Shrader field goal.

Cardinals overcome mistakes, stave off Panthers
Arizona linebacker Zaven Collins returned a fumble for a touchdown. The Panthers didn't reach the end zone until almost 43 minutes into the game, yet the Cardinals needed a late defensive stand to hold on.
Murray finished 17-for-25 passing with an interception.
Carolina quarterback Bryce Young, who committed turnovers on the Panthers' first two possessions, ended up 35-for-55 for a career-high 328 yards in the air with three touchdown throws and an interception. Hunter Renfrow caught two TD passes.
Arizona (2-0) carried a 20-3 lead into halftime despite only a 145-112 edge in total yardage. Murray connected with Michael Wilson for an 11-yard touchdown pass with four seconds to play in the half.
The lead grew to 27-3 on James Conner's 2-yard run to complete the first possession of the second half.
The Panthers (0-2) scored late in the third quarter on Young's 4-yard pass to Renfrow, who made his first scoring catch for the team, and again with 5:05 remaining on Chuba Hubbard's 5-yard catch from Young.
Trailing 27-15, the Panthers regained possession with 4:30 to play. Young's 1-yard toss to Renfrow with 1:58 left marked the final touchdown.
The Panthers recovered an onside kick at their own 49-yard line and had one timeout remaining. Even with four Arizona penalties, Carolina didn't advance inside the Cardinals' 30.
Earlier, the Cardinals held a 10-0 lead despite claiming only one first down and taking five snaps.
Collins was credited with a 3-yard return on a fumble recovery to cut short Carolina's first series. The ball was knocked away from Young on Josh Sweat's sack, with the ball bouncing about 15 yards before Collins gathered it and rolled into the end zone for the points.
Young was intercepted by Baron Browning and the Cardinals were in scoring position again. Chad Ryland booted a 29-yard field goal.
The Panthers finally got a drive going and it resulted in points when Ryan Fitzgerald kicked a 27-yard field goal with 50 seconds left in the first quarter.

Jerry Jones: Cowboys sign 3-time Pro Bowl DE Jadeveon Clowney
Clowney, a 32-year-old free agent who visited with the Cowboys last week, played for the Carolina Panthers last season before being released in May. His 11-year NFL career started with the Houston Texans, who made him the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2014 and employed him for five seasons, the last three as a Pro Bowl selection.
Clowney then played one season for Seattle, one for Tennessee, two years for Cleveland, one season for Baltimore and one for Carolina, the team he left after the first year of a two-year, $20 million deal he signed in 2024.
"He's been an outstanding player; he'll add some real depth," Jones told reporters about Clowney after Sunday's game. "He's very credible. He'll help us."
The Cowboys had yet to make the move official on Sunday.
Clowney had 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season for the Panthers last season after getting 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks the previous year with the Ravens.
In his career, he has recorded 409 tackles, 58 sacks and 15 forced fumbles over 140 games (127 starts).

Jets QB Justin Fields in concussion protocol after rough outing
Fields was injured in the opening minute of the fourth quarter when he was smacked by Buffalo pass rusher Joey Bosa after throwing an incomplete pass. Fields' head hit the turf as he landed.
On the next play, Bosa sacked Fields and made him fumble. The Jets recovered the fumble but then had to punt, while Fields exited for the medical tent before soon heading to the locker room.
Fields was just 3-for-11 passing for 27 yards before departing. He had 49 yards on five rushes.
Veteran Tyrod Taylor replaced Fields and was 7 of 11 for 56 yards and New York's lone touchdown. Taylor had 21 yards on three rushes.
Asked about Fields' shaky performance, Glenn said, "I've got to watch the tape."
Fields dropped to 14-32 as an NFL starting quarterback with the latest setback for the Jets (0-2). He has also played for the Chicago Bears (2021-23) and Pittsburgh Steelers (2024).
New York signed Fields to a two-year, $40 million deal in the offseason to be the starting quarterback. The move came after the Jets parted ways with Aaron Rodgers.
Edge rusher Jermaine Johnson II (ankle), cornerback Michael Carter II (shoulder) and safety Tony Adams (groin) also sustained injuries for the Jets against the Bills.
New York visits the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Sunday.

Broncos DB Patrick Surtain II exits, re-enters Colts game with ankle injury
Surtain, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was hurt when he landed awkwardly on his left foot while covering Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
Surtain hobbled part of the way off the field before sitting down near the sideline. He was checked by trainers and walked off the field and to the medical tent with the help of trainers.
Surtain, in his fifth season after being taken with the ninth overall pick in the 2021 draft, had five tackles -- four solo -- before exiting the game. He tied a career high with four interceptions in 2024 and returned one of those 100 yards for a touchdown.

Brandon Aubrey, Cowboys stun Giants in OT after back-and-forth affair
Aubrey also sent the game into overtime by converting a 64-yard field goal as the clock hit zeroes, extending a wild game that saw two touchdowns in the final minute of regulation and seven total lead changes.
Dak Prescott went 38-of-52 passing for 361 yards and two touchdowns, and CeeDee Lamb caught nine passes for 112 yards for Dallas (1-1). Prescott's 6-yard touchdown pass to George Pickens gave the Cowboys a 34-30 lead with 52 seconds remaining.
Russell Wilson went 30-of-41 passing for 450 yards and three touchdowns for New York (0-2). Malik Nabers caught nine passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead score after Pickens' TD grab.
Following an interception by Donovan Wilson that gave Dallas the ball at its own 30-yard line with two minutes left in overtime, the Cowboys drove to the New York 28 after a 14-yard scramble by Prescott.
The Cowboys wound down the clock, and Aubrey gave Dallas the win by nailing his 46-yarder from the right hash.
Trailing 34-30 in the final minute, New York took the lead with 25 seconds to go on a 48-yard touchdown bomb from Wilson to Nabers, who got behind two Dallas defenders and hauled in the pass in the end zone.
Dallas took over at its own 33-yard line and drove to the Giants' 46, where Aubrey connected from 64 yards to force overtime. It matched the third-longest field goal in NFL history, two yards shy of the league record; Aubrey also made a 65-yarder last season.
Trailing late in the fourth quarter, the Giants moved ahead 30-27 on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Wan'Dale Robinson with 2:44 remaining.
New York held a 13-3 advantage in the second quarter after Nabers' first TD, a 29-yard play, but Dallas responded with a pair of touchdown drives.
First came a 10-yard touchdown pass from Prescott to KaVontae Turpin. Then, Dallas took a 17-13 lead with 7:30 to go in the third quarter on a 30-yard touchdown run by Javonte Williams.

Antonio Gibson TD helps Patriots top Dolphins
Gibson's first career touchdown return was the difference in the game, coming on the ensuing kickoff 12 seconds after a 74-yard punt-return touchdown by Miami's Malik Washington gave the Dolphins the lead with 7:39 left.
The Dolphins drove into New England territory in the final 90 seconds, but the drive ended on Milton Williams' second sack of the game on fourth-and-12 at the 28-yard line, clinching the Patriots' first win in Miami since 2019. The Dolphins fell to 0-2 for the first time since 2020.
New England quarterback Drake Maye sparked the offense by completing 19 of 23 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns with a rushing touchdown. He was supplemented by Rhamondre Stevenson, who led the Patriots with 88 receiving yards and 54 rushing yards.
Miami quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was 26 of 32 for 315 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. Tyreek Hill sparked the offense with 109 yards on six catches while De'Von Achane led the Dolphins with 30 rushing yards and added 92 receiving yards and a touchdown.
On paper, the Patriots (1-1) should have had a larger halftime lead than their 15-14 advantage. They outgained Miami 143-18 in the first quarter and scored on all three first-half possessions before kneeling out the final 31 seconds.
And yet, a pair of missed extra points by Andy Borregales and a drive stalling inside the 5-yard line opened the door for the Dolphins, who scored touchdowns on their final two first-half drives.
Both quarterbacks were exceptional throughout the opening 30 minutes, each throwing a pair of touchdown passes.
Maye threw a pair of first-quarter TDs, to Mack Hollins with 9:34 left and to Kayshon Boutte with 55 seconds left.
Tagovailoa responded with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns, an 18-yarder to Jaylen Waddle with 11:25 left and a 29-yarder to Achane with 41 seconds remaining.
After Riley Patterson gave the Dolphins the lead with a 40-yard field goal to begin the third quarter, the Miami defense delivered a stop.
Patterson extended the lead with another field goal from 44 yards to make it 20-15 Dolphins before the Patriots took the lead back on a 6-yard Maye scramble in the closing seconds of the third quarter.
The Patriots finished with five sacks of Tagavailoa, keeping Miami without a second-half offensive touchdown.

Jake Browning helps Bengals stage comeback win against Jaguars
Browning's score capped a 15-play, 92-yard drive to lead Cincinnati (2-0) to an unbeaten mark after two weeks for the first time since 2018. Browning finished 21-of-32 for 241 yards, with two touchdown passes and three interceptions.
Ja'Marr Chase finished with 14 catches on 16 targets for 165 yards and a touchdown for the Bengals.
Trevor Lawrence completed 24 of 42 passes for 271 yards and three touchdowns with two interceptions for the Jaguars (1-1). Cam Little converted a go-ahead 25-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter after the Bengals had tied it up before Browning's late heroics.
Burrow left with 8:36 remaining in the second quarter and did not return after suffering a toe injury on his left foot on an Arik Armstead sack.
The Bengals quarterback was taken to the ground midway through the second quarter when his left cleat appeared to catch in the turf. He was diagnosed with a toe injury and did not return. The Bengals later lost their first-round draft pick Shemar Stewart to a right leg injury when he limped off the field flexing his right knee midway through the fourth quarter.
The Bengals managed to rally behind Browning and erase a 17-10 halftime deficit and tie the game twice, 17-17 and 24-24.
Burrow was 7-of-13 for 76 yards and a touchdown pass to Chase before being forced from the game.
Jacksonville took the game's opening drive and marched 69 yards in nine plays, capped by a Lawrence to Dyami Brown 9-yard touchdown pass. The Bengals went three-and-out on the next series, and the Jaguars were on the verge of taking a commanding two-touchdown lead before Lawrence was intercepted in the end zone.
The Bengals answered with an 11-play, 80-yard drive that ended with Burrow finding Chase on an in-slant for four yards and a touchdown.
The game was tied only briefly as the Jaguars drove 75 yards in eight plays, capped off by an eight-yard touchdown pass in the flat for Bhayshul Tuten.
The teams traded field goals late in the first half.
Browning tied things up with 11:05 left in the third, hitting Mitchell Tinsley from 13 yards out. After Lawrence regained the lead with an 11-yarder to Travis Etienne, Tee Higgins got loose for a 42-yard scoring catch, making it 24-all going into the fourth.

Matthew Stafford, Davante Adams rally Rams past Titans
Stafford, who completed 23 of 33 passes with an interception, connected with Davis Allen on an 8-yard pass at the 1:17 mark of the third quarter to put Los Angeles (2-0) up 20-16. Allen was originally ruled out of bounds at the 1 but an expedited review overturned the call.
The Rams tacked on insurance with 9:40 left in the game on Stafford's 16-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams. It came three plays after Byron Young's strip-sack of rookie quarterback Cam Ward that Nate Landman recovered at the 21. It also marked Adams' first touchdown as a Ram.
Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, hit 19 of 33 passes for 175 yards and his first touchdown. Scrambling to his right to avoid pressure, Ward threw across his body to the left side of the end zone and found Elic Ayomanor for a 9-yard score with 38 seconds remaining in the first half, tying the score at 10.
Tennessee (0-2) then got the ball back when Cody Barton picked off Stafford on the next play from scrimmage. That enabled the Titans to take a 13-10 edge to halftime on the strength of Joey Slye's 37-yard field goal as time expired.
Slye bombed a 57-yard field goal at the 3:32 mark of the third quarter to give the Titans their final lead at 16-13. But the Titans' offense misfired after that, managing only five yards on their next possession before Los Angeles put the game away.
Puka Nacua initiated scoring for the Rams with 8:39 left in the first quarter, taking a jet sweep on fourth-and-1 and running 45 yards for a touchdown. Tennessee had a chance to stop Nacua before the first-down marker but missed a couple of tackles.
Blake Corum capped Los Angeles' scoring on a 1-yard plunge with 6:45 remaining in the game, his first NFL touchdown.
Nacua caught eight passes for 91 yards and Adams finished with six for 106.

Burrow sat on the turf for a minute before getting up and receiving treatment in the medical tent. After five minutes in the tent, he began to make his way to the locker room under his own power before putting an arm on each shoulder of a medical staffer.
At the time of his injury, Burrow was 7-of-13 passing for 76 yards and a first-quarter touchdown pass to Ja'Marr Chase.
Heading into Sunday's game, Burrow had completed 68.6 percent of his passes for 19,114 yards and 141 touchdowns to 46 interceptions. He was named Associated Press Comeback Player of the Year in 2021 when he guided the Bengals to the Super Bowl and received the award again last season.

Ravens CB Jaire Alexander inactive vs. Browns
Alexander, who was dealing with a knee injury during training camp, struggled in the Ravens' 41-40 season-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills last Sunday. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, however he did not carry an injury designation into this game.
"Practice is important, especially at that position, for just being exactly right," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday. "The main thing right now is just to get him right. He's healthy enough, but we have to get him right so (he) can go out there and play like Jaire Alexander, which I fully expect him to do. We'll just give him an opportunity to do that."
Alexander, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, signed a one-year, $4 million contract, plus incentives, with Baltimore this summer after being released by the Green Bay Packers.
In addition to Alexander, the Ravens listed the following players as inactive: running back Keaton Mitchell, fullback Patrick Ricard, tight end Isaiah Likely, offensive tackle Carson Vinson and linebacker David Ojabo.
As for the Browns (0-1), rookie running back Quinshon Judkins is available to make his NFL debut.
An early second-round pick in this year's draft, Judkins signed his four-year, $11.4 million rookie contract on Sept. 6 after an investigation into an alleged domestic violence incident in July in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Judkins was accused of punching a woman in the face, arm and thigh, but prosecutors announced in August that they would not be moving forward with the case.
He was listed as questionable to play against the Ravens after participating in practice on both Thursday and Friday.
Judkins, 21, rushed for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 22 passes for 161 yards and two TDs in 16 games last season as Ohio State won the College Football Playoff national championship.
Cleveland listed rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, offensive tackle Jack Conklin, running back Raheim Sanders, defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. and guard Zak Zinter as inactive against the Ravens.
