Demarcus Robinson made a one-handed 39-yard touchdown catch with 4:57 left in overtime to give the Los Angeles Rams a 26-20 victory against the host Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.
The Seahawks (4-5) got the ball first in the extra session, but Kenneth Walker III, who rushed for a game-high 83 yards, was stopped on fourth-and-1 from the Los Angeles 16-yard line. The Rams then needed only four plays to score the game-winning touchdown.
Rookie safety Kamren Kinchens intercepted two passes in the fourth quarter — returning one of them 103 yards for a touchdown to break a 13-13 tie — for the Rams (4-4), who won their third consecutive game.
Seattle quarterback Geno Smith hit Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 14-yard scoring strike with 51 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score once again, this time at 20-all.
Smith-Njigba finished with seven catches for a career-high 180 yards and two scores.
Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 25 of 44 passes for 298 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Cooper Kupp had 11 receptions for 104 yards.
Smith was 21-of-34 passing for 363 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. He was sacked seven times.
After trailing 13-3 at the break, the Rams controlled the ball for nearly the entire third quarter, running 22 offensive plays to Seattle’s four.
The Rams took the second half’s opening kickoff and marched down the field. Stafford hit Robinson for a 1-yard TD to trim Los Angeles’ deficit to 13-10 with 8:28 left in the third quarter.
Los Angeles tied the score on Joshua Karty’s 21-yard field goal with 27 seconds to go in the third.
Neither team got its offense on track until late in the second quarter.
The Rams broke a scoreless tie with a 38-yard field goal by Karty with 3:31 left in the first half.
Seattle responded with Smith’s 30-yard scoring strike to Tyler Lockett down the right sideline with 51 seconds to go. Jason Myers had his extra point blocked.
Joe Burrow tosses 5 TDs as Bengals rout lowly Raiders
CINCINNATI — A fiery Joe Burrow completed his first 15 passes and finished 27-of-39 for 251 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Cincinnati Bengals past the visiting Las Vegas Raiders 41-24 on Sunday.
Burrow, who matched his career high in touchdown passes, started the game 15-of-15 for 104 yards and a touchdown. The Bengals overcame an early 7-0 hole to post their first home win of the season in five tries.
Cincinnati’s Chase Brown recorded his first career 100-yard game, rushing 27 times for 120 yards while catching a touchdown pass. Tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in five receptions for 100 yards and two second-half scores.
The Bengals (4-5) won a game they needed on a short week before taking on the AFC North rival Ravens this Thursday night in Baltimore.
On defense, Cincinnati’s Trey Hendrickson recorded a career-high four sacks and took over the NFL lead with 11.
Gardner Minshew II was 10-of-17 passing for 124 yards for the Raiders (2-7). Former Cincinnati Bearcats star quarterback Desmond Ridder replaced Minshew with five minutes left in the third quarter and threw a late touchdown pass to rookie tight end Brock Bowers.
The Bengals played the game without several of their key weapons on offense as starting left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., running back Zack Moss and starting wide receiver Tee Higgins all missed the game with injuries.
Tyler Bass connects from 61, Bills edge Dolphins
Tyler Bass put a 61-yard field goal right down the middle with five seconds remaining to lift the Buffalo Bills to a 30-27 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon in Orchard Park, N.Y.
Buffalo (7-2) led by seven after Josh Allen connected with Quintin Morris for a 2-yard touchdown and a 27-20 lead with 6:18 left in the fourth quarter.
However, Miami (2-6) proceeded to zip down the field, knotting things at 27 on Tua Tagovailoa’s 7-yard scoring strike to Jaylen Waddle.
But Bass came to the Bills’ rescue, and following his kick, a lateral play by the Dolphins went nowhere.
Allen finished with 235 yards, three touchdowns and an interception on 25-of-39 passing as Buffalo won its fourth straight game. Khalil Shakir hauled in six catches for 50 yards.
Tagovailoa completed 25 of 28 passes for 231 yards and two TDs but the Dolphins dropped their third straight game. Tyreek Hill finished with four receptions for 80 yards, while De’Von Achane rushed for a score and was on the receiving end of another.
Raheem Mostert fumbled on the first drive of the third quarter, setting Buffalo up at its own 36. Eleven plays later, Allen found Mack Hollins for a 1-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal. Bass missed the ensuing extra-point attempt, leaving the Bills up 12-10.
Jason Sanders made Bass’ miss sting even more when he made good on a 23-yard field goal with 2:59 remaining in the third to move the Dolphins in front.
Buffalo didn’t stay down for long, though, as Ray Davis scored on a 63-yard catch-and-run just 52 seconds later. The Bills then cashed in on a two-point conversion attempt to make it 20-13.
Achane tied the game at 20 with an 8-yard TD run early in the fourth.
