Sunday’s other NFL games

Cardinals 23, 49ers 14

GLENDALE, ARIZ.

Drew Stanton threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes to rookie John Brown and Arizona rallied to beat San Francisco, snapping a four-game losing streak to the 49ers. Tommy Kelly blocked a field goal for the Cardinals (3-0), who outscored San Francisco 17-0 in the second half. The 49ers (1-2) mounted 80-yard touchdown drives the first two times they had the ball, then didn’t score again, blowing a halftime lead for the second week in a row. Stanton, starting for injured Carson Palmer for the second straight week, completed 18 of 33 for 244 yards and two scores. Michael Floyd caught five for 114 yards. The 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick completed 29 of 37 for 245 yards and a touchdown and ran for another 54.

Seahawks 26, Broncos 20, OT

SEATTLE

Marshawn Lynch scored on a 6-yard run on the first possession of overtime and the Seahawks beat the Broncos in a Super Bowl rematch that lived up to expectations. Seattle (2-1) blew a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead, watching Denver tie it at 20 on Peyton Manning’s 26-yard touchdown pass to Jacob Tamme with 18 seconds left in regulation and his 2-point conversion pass to Demaryius Thomas. But Manning never saw the ball in overtime, thanks to Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. After nearly getting sacked for a safety and throwing an interception in the fourth quarter, Wilson was brilliant in overtime. Wilson rushed for 21 yards and was 4 of 6 passing in overtime. Lynch went the final 6 yards. Manning led the rally for Denver (2-1) helped by a number of Seahawks mistakes. He was 31 of 49 for 303 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw a costly fourth-quarter interception.

Eagles 37, Redskins 34

PHILADELPHIA

Rookie Jordan Matthews, the receiver who replaced DeSean Jackson in Philadelphia, caught two touchdown passes, and the Eagles beat Jackson and his Redskins in a nasty game marred by a fourth-quarter brawl. Jackson had his own big play, an 81-yard TD that tied it at 27. But it was not enough to offset Matthews and Jeremy Maclin, whose 27-yard scoring reception gave Philadelphia (3-0) the lead. Rookie Cody Parkey’s third field goal, a 51-yarder with 5:55 remaining, put the game out of reach. Philadelphia’s Chris Polk had a 102-yard kickoff return. Kirk Cousins threw for 427 yards and three touchdowns for Washington (1-2).

Cowboys 34, Rams 31

ST. LOUIS

Terrance Williams scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter, Bruce Carter returned an interception 25 yards for a TD on the next snap, and theDallas Cowboys matched the largest comeback in team history to stun the Rams. DeMarco Murray’s 1-yard run late in the first half began the rally for Dallas (2-1), which trailed 21-0. Dez Bryant caught a 68-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, and Carter’s first career interception and touchdown came not long after he was evaluated for concussion-like symptoms on the bench.

Colts 44, Jaguars 17

JACKSONVILLE, FLA.

Andrew Luck threw four touchdown passes — three of them in a lopsided first half — and the Colts dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars for their first win. It was a home opener to forget for the Jaguars (0-3), who trailed 30-0 at the break and benched quarterback Chad Henne. The only positive for Jacksonville was getting rookie Blake Bortles on the field. The third overall pick in May’s NFL draft played the entire second half, finishing with two touchdown passes and two interceptions.

Saints 20, Vikings 9

NEW ORLEANS

Drew Brees passed for 293 yards and two touchdowns, and the Saints won for the first time this season, taking their home opener against the Vikings. Minnesota lost starting quarterback Matt Cassel with a toe injury early in the second quarter. He was replaced by rookie Teddy Bridgewater, who completed 12 of 20 for 150 yards while leading two scoring drives that both ended with field goals.

Chargers 22, Bills 10

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.

A week after throwing three touchdown passes to tight end Antonio Gates to knock off the Seahawks, Philip Rivers hit Eddie Royal for two scores in a win over the Bills. Royal scored on 3- and 5-yard receptions and finished with four catches 42 yards. Malcom Floyd had two catches for 98 yards in a game the Chargers (2-1) never trailed. Rivers finished 18 of 25 for 256 yards and extended his touchdown streak to 23 games to match the team record he set over the 2009-10 seasons. San Diego beat Buffalo (2-1) despite a depleted offensive backfield.

Giants 30, Texans 17

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.

Rashad Jennings ran for a career-high 176 yards and a touchdown and Eli Manning threw two TD passes as the Giants overcame some early mistakes and beat the suddenly error-prone Texans. The victory not only put some life back into the Giants (1-2) after two disappointing efforts, it also ended any chance of a second straight horrible start for Tom Coughlin’s team which opened 0-6 last season. Victor Cruz made a 26-yard touchdown catch, his first since Game 4 of last season, and danced the salsa.

Bengals 33, Titans 7

CINCINNATI

Andy Dalton caught a touchdown pass — the first Bengals quarterback to pull off that feat — and Cincinnati stayed undefeated with a victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Bengals (3-0) head into their bye week with their best start in eight years and a chance to get some of their many injured players healthy. On the final play of the first quarter, Dalton flipped the ball to receiver Mohamed Sanu, who ran to his right while the quarterback sneaked toward the other side of the field. Sanu stopped and threw a cross-field pass that hung in the air.

Patriots 16, Raiders 9

FOXBOROUGH, MASS.

Tom Brady threw a touchdown pass, Stephen Gostkowski kicked three field goals and the sluggish Patriots held on to beat the Raiders when defensive tackle Vince Wilfork intercepted a pass near his goal line.Darren McFadden’s potential tying touchdown run was nullified by a holding penalty.

Lions 19, Packers 7

DETROIT

Don Carey returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown, and Detroit’s defensive front stuffed Green Bay, leading the Lions over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. The Lions (2-1) came in with a secondary decimated by injuries, but that didn’t much matter with Rodgers under constant pressure. He was sacked twice and threw for only 162 yards, and Green Bay (1-2) wasn’t any better when running the ball.

Chiefs 34, Dolphins 15

MIAMI GARDENS, FLA.

Alex Smith shook off five sacks to throw three touchdown passes and help the Chiefs earn their first victory by beating the Dolphins. Smith led touchdown drives of 62, 76 and 66 yards in a span of four possessions as Kansas City took leads of 14-0 and 21-10. The Chiefs improved to 1-2.
