NFL roundup: Ravens’ top commanders as Browns continue to stumble | NFL

Washington Commanders 23-30 Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson threw for 323 yards and a touchdown to eclipse rookie Jayden Daniels, and the Baltimore Ravens (4-2) defeated the Washington Commanders (4-2) for their fourth straight win. Washington’s winning streak ended at four o’clock. Derrick Henry ran for 132 yards and scored his NFL-leading eighth and ninth touchdowns. Mark Andrews reached the end zone for the first time this season with a 13-yard reception from Jackson. Daniels connected with Terry McLaurin on two touchdowns, but the Commanders struggled to get the game going and couldn’t contain Jackson and Henry.

Cleveland Browns 16-20 Philadelphia Eagles

Jalen Hurts threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns, including a 45-yard toss to DeVonta Smith in the fourth quarter, and the ragged Philadelphia Eagles held off the Cleveland Browns. Hurts also threw a 22-yard TD to AJ Brown, who returned along with Smith after both wide receivers were sidelined with injuries. The Eagles improved to 3-2 after their bye, while the Browns fell to 1-5. Cleveland scored its only touchdown on a blocked field goal by Myles Garrett, which was returned by Rodney McLeod Jr. for a score. Quarterback Deshaun Watson had another ineffective game for the Browns.

Houston Texans 41-21 New England Patriots

CJ Stroud threw three touchdown passes and the Houston Texans (5-1) spoiled New England rookie quarterback Drake Maye’s first start by slipping past the Patriots (1-5). Joe Mixon rushed for 102 yards and intercepted a TD pass from Stroud. Stefon Diggs had six catches for 77 yards and a score for the AFC South-leading Texans, and Tank Dell had seven receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots got a boost from Maye, the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. He took over for veteran Jacoby Brissett and finished 20 of 33 for 243 yards and three touchdowns.

Arizona Cardinals 13-34 Green Bay Packers

Romeo Doubs returned from a one-game suspension to catch two of four touchdown passes from Jordan Love in the Green Bay Packers’ win over the error-prone Arizona Cardinals (2-4). Doubs missed the Packers’ 24-19 victory over the Los Angeles Rams because of conduct detrimental to the team after missing two practices. He scored on receptions of 10 and 20 yards on Sunday. Love also threw touchdown passes of five yards to Jayden Reed and 44 yards to Christian Watson, while going 22 of 32 for 258 yards with one interception. His four touchdown passes for Green Bay (4-2) were a career high.

Indianapolis Colts 20-17 Tennessee Titans

Joe Flacco threw for 189 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Indianapolis Colts to victory over the Tennessee Titans. The Colts (3-3) got a much-needed split of back-to-back road games within the AFC South, with second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson re-injuring his right hip. The struggling Colts also sat out Jonathan Taylor, the 2021 NFL rushing champion, for the second straight season. The Titans (1-4) have now lost three straight to their division rival. They will have to wait until November to try to win their first home game of the season for first-year coach Brian Callahan.

Chicago Bears 35-16 Jacksonville Jaguars

Caleb Williams threw four touchdown passes – two each to receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Cole Kmet – and the Chicago Bears had a tea party in the end zone as they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. To mark the rookie quarterback’s big day, Kmet helped the Bears (4-2) win their third straight game for the first time in nearly four years by taking care of emergency long snaps. The Jags fell to 1-5.
