Browns 13, Lions 10

With the game’s outcome in doubt and Cleveland’s season in serious danger, the team turned to its most reliable player. Nick Chubb came through as always. Chubb caught a touchdown pass, rushed for 130 yards and helped run out the clock as the Browns held on to avoid a season-wrecking upset and keep De- troit winless. Chubb returned to Cleveland’s lineup after a one-game absence because of covid-19 protocols. The star running back had a five- yard touchdown reception from Baker Mayfield and then helped the Browns put away the Lions. Leading by three, the Browns got the ball back with 2:29 left. As the FirstEnergy Stadium crowd chanted “Chubb, Chubb” before every snap, Coach Kevin Stefan - ski had Mayfield hand off the ball to one of the NFL’s best backs. Chubb ripped off runs of three, four, 11 and 15 yards to ice it. “Everybody was chanting Chubb’s name at the end,” Browns defensive end Myles Gar- rett said. “I was definitely cheer- ing for my guy.” Wide receiver Jarvis Landry also scored as the Browns barely bounced back after being blown out by 38 points last week at New England.

Dolphins 24, Jets 17

Tua Tagovailoa threw a go- ahead five-yard touchdown pass to Myles Gaskin early in the fourth quarter, and Miami hung on for its third straight victory. A week after an impressive win over Baltimore, the Dol- phins overcame some penalties — and New York had sloppy plays of its own — to get their first three-game winning streak since they won five in a row in the middle of last season. With the game tied at 14, Ta - govailoa was facing heavy pres- sure when he got a throw off to Gaskin, who held on to the ball to put the Dolphins ahead 21-14 with 10:15 left despite getting hit by both C.J. Mosley and Isa- iah Dunn in the end zone. The drive was helped by a roughing the passer penalty on John Franklin-Myers on third down from the 6, when Ta - govailoa’s pass to Gaskin fell in- complete. A penalty hurt the Jets again on Miami’s next possession, when Ta govailoa was sacked on third down and it was wiped out by a defensive holding call. Ta govailoa finished 23 for 33 for 273 yards and touchdown passes to Gaskin and Mack Hol- lins with one interception. Wide- out Jaylen Waddle had a one- yard touchdown run for Miami.

Eagles 40, Saints 29

Jalen Hurts ran for three touch-
downs and Darius Slay returned
an interception for a score for
Philadelphia. The Eagles have
won two in a row for the first time
this season, and rookie coach
Nick Sirianni earned his first vic-
tory at home in five tries.
New Orleans dropped its third
straight since it lost quarterback
Jameis Winston to a season-end-
ing ACL injury during a win over
Ta mpa Bay.
Trevor Siemian threw three
touchdown passes and two picks
and ran for a score without several
missing starters around him. Run-
ning back Alvin Kamara and offen-
sive tackles Terron Armstead and
Ryan Ramczyk didn’t play.
The Eagles led 20-7 with under
a minute left in the second quar-
ter when Slay stepped in front of
Siemian’s pass intended for Deon-
te Harris and returned it 51 yards
for his third touchdown in four
games.

49ers 30, Jaguars 10

Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes for the third consecutive week, and San Fran- cisco dominated Jacksonville for its third win in four games. Coming off their best game of the season — a 31-10 stunner against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night — the 49ers traveled cross-country on a short week and looked every bit like a playoff contender for the second time in six days. They scored on their first five possessions, including opening the game with a 20-play drive for a field goal that took more than 13 minutes, and set the tone for what would be another long day for the Jaguars. San Francisco ran 33 of the game’s first 37 plays and had more first downs (14) than J acksonville had yards (12) m idway through the second quarter. Garoppolo completed 16 of 22 passes for 176 yards. He con- nected with Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle for scores. Deebo Samuel ran eight times for 79 yards and a touchdown.

BY TERESA M. WALKER

nashville — David Culley rel- ished a big win a couple of hours from his Tennessee hometown with his brother and sister watch- ing. Just not enough for the first- year Te xans coach to hand out game balls. “We ain’t won enough ball- games to get any game balls,” said Culley, a native of Sparta who played at Vanderbilt. The Te xans snapped the NFL’s longest active skid by beating the Titans, 22-13, to end the league’s longest winning streak on a wet and rainy Sunday. The Te xans (2-8) came in having lost eight straight since they won their season opener and hadn’t scored a touchdown on the road since Sept. 19. Desmond King had two of the Te xans’ four interceptions that tied a franchise record — three in

the fourth quarter to snuff out the Titans’ attempted rally. Houston turned those and a muffed punt into 13 points. The Te xans also had two sacks. “It’s just huge to get this thing rolling,” Houston linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill said. “It’s been tough. It’s been super tough. To come out here and get a big win on the road against probably one of the best teams i n the AFC, that’s huge. So we’re excited.” The AFC-leading Titans (8-3) had t heir six-game winning streak snapped with their first loss since Oct. 3. That came against the then-winless New York Jets. Tennessee outgained Houston 420 -190. But the Titans couldn’t overcome their mistakes on a day when their injury list grew even longer with wide receiver A.J. Brown knocked out of t he g ame in the third quarter with an injured chest. “We just kept shooting ourselves in the foot, you know?” Titans quarterback Ryan Ta n- nehill s aid after a career-high four interceptions. “Turnovers, turn- over on downs, penalties. We shot

ourselves in the foot all day. And we got to get better, and it starts with me.” Titans Coach Mike Vrabel said, “Our offense certainly was its own worst enemy.” Tennessee already declared six out for this game, including three starters, and also put linebacker Bud Dupree on injured reserve. Starting cornerback Jackrabbit Jenkins was a game-time scratch with a chest injury. The Te xans left defensive line- man Jonathan Greenard and his seven sacks in seven games back in Houston with an injured foot. Houston, fresh off its bye, took a 3-0 l ead o n its opening drive and never trailed again. Grugier-Hill picked off Ta nnehill’s pass and returned it 82 yards t o the Tennes- see 6 at t he end of the first quarter. Tennessee held the Texans to a second field goal by Ka’imi Fair- bairn to make it 6-0. Taylor capped a 76-yard drive by scrambling seven yards to the end zone, where he flipped over Titans safety Amani Hooker for the touchdown. It was Houston’s first touchdown on the road since

Sept. 19 at Cleveland. But Fair- bairn’s e xtra point was wide left in heavy rain. “To see your quarterback do that especially, I kind of went, ‘Aw, shoot, just come down in one piece,’ ” Texans running back Rex Burkhead said. Tennessee tried to score just before halftime. But Ta nnehill was flagged for intentional grounding with four seconds left and no timeouts remaining. A muffed punt summed up the Titans’ day. Titans returner Ches- ter Rogers tried to turn away from the ball after a Te xans defender ran past him only to have the ball hit his right heel. Trevon Smith recovered before a big Texans celebration in the end zone. Taylor ran five yards for his second touchdown and a 19-0 lead with 7:00 left in the third. Ta nnehill tried to start the comeback with an 18-yard touchdown pass to rookie Dez Fitzpat- rick with 2:24 left in the third. Anthony Firkser recovered a fum- ble in the end zone to pull the Titans within 19-13 with 7:47 left. — Associated Press
