Chiefs edge Raiders in Vegas
The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders thirty to twenty-seven in a divisional matchup that featured three lead changes. The Raiders led thirteen to ten heading into the final quarter before Kansas City held on.
Walker's stunning start continues
Running back Kenneth Walker scored two touchdowns in nineteen seconds for the Chiefs, the turning point in their victory. He finished with one hundred seventy-seven yards from twenty-two carries as Kansas City regained possession by forcing a fumble on the kick-off return.
Forty-niners beat Broncos to stay perfect
The San Francisco forty-niners improved to four and zero by defeating the Denver Broncos twenty-four to fourteen. The game was tied three to three until late in the third quarter, when Christian McCaffrey's touchdown gave the forty-niners breathing space.
Purdy leads league with efficiency
Forty-niners quarterback Brock Purdy leads the league with eleven touchdown passes while being intercepted only once and not sacked in the team's first four games. George Kittle sealed the win with a huge catch-and-run down the middle.
Vikings grind out another win
The Minnesota Vikings, the biggest surprise to be four and zero, beat the Miami Dolphins fifteen to ten. Will Reichard kicked five field goals to secure the victory in a low-scoring defensive battle.
Maye bounces back against Bills
New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, benched after a blowout loss to Jacksonville, led his team to a twenty-nine to twenty-six win over the unbeaten Buffalo Bills. Maye passed for three touchdowns and two hundred sixty-nine yards, with Efton Chism making a superb one-handed catch in the endzone to put the Patriots back in front.
Eagles lose Barkley to injury
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Philadelphia Eagles twenty-four to twenty on the road, but the Eagles suffered mounting injury concerns.
