Cincinnati’s unbeaten start ends in Pittsburgh
Lamar Jackson completed a 27-yard pass to Zay Flowers and alertly called a timeout with one second left, setting up Tyler Loop’s 56-yard field goal to cap a stunning seven-second drive that gave the Baltimore Ravens (2-1) victory over the Dallas Cowboys (1-2) in Brazil. The Ravens and Cowboys put on a entertaining show in front of a crowd of 72,792 during the NFL’s third game in Brazil and first in the city of Rio de Janeiro. For a moment, it looked as though it would be the Cowboys who would win the game in regulation.
Talanoa Hufanga’s last-second interception sealed victory for the Denver Broncos over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. Hufanga had returned a Matthew Stafford pass for a touchdown earlier in the game when he stepped up to pick off the quarterback with the final play of the game. The Rams are 1-2 and the Broncos 2-1.
Marcus Mariota threw three touchdown passes, and Kain Medrano returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown to help the Washington Commanders (1-2) hand Seattle (2-1) their first loss since last November. The Seahawks had won 12 straight, including their postseason run to last season’s Super Bowl title, but Mariota was solid in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, and three crucial turnovers enabled Washington to win their home opener. Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 10 passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns for the Seahawks, and he even completed a short throw on a trick play in the final quarter.
Kirk Cousins passed for 248 yards and three touchdowns, and the Las Vegas Raiders (3-0) overcame an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the New Orleans Saints (1-2) and remain unbeaten under rookie coach Klint Kubiak. The series that led to the Raiders’ go-ahead score began when Las Vegas defensive end Malcolm Koonce sacked Tyler Shough as the Saints QB started his throwing motion. The ball went backward and was ruled a fumble that was recovered by the Raiders. A similar play was not ruled a fumble in the Saints’ season-opening loss to Detroit, a call that also went against New Orleans.
