But good teams find a way to close games like these out. It wasn't pretty, as Jalen Hurts failed to throw a touchdown (he ran for two, though) while Arizona missed a would-be game-tying field goal from 43 yards out with 22 seconds remaining. Speaking of NFC East teams who've looked dominant this season, the Eagles kept their undefeated start alive with a 20-17 road win over the Cardinals.

Backup QB Cooper Rush didn't do much (10-of-16 for a scoreless 102 yards) in Dallas' win, making the looming return of two-time Pro Bowler Dak Prescott even more intimidating to the rest of the NFC. DeMarcus Lawrence set the tone for Dallas with a 19-yard fumble-return touchdown on the Rams' opening drive. Los Angeles (now 2-3) allowed five sacks and ran for only 2.5 yards per carry against a stout Cowboys defense, an output that led to a 22-10 loss in SoFi Stadium for the home team. The Rams' Super Bowl hangover is still alive and well.Tampa Bay would eventually hold the ball and its six-point lead until time expired. Atlanta's Grady Jarrett took down Tom Brady in what looked to be a clean, crucial sack on third down late in the fourth quarter, but referee Jerome Boger called a roughing-the-passer penalty. But the Bucs' win was far from the biggest talking point from this game. The Buccaneers snapped their two-game losing streak with a 21-15 win over their division rival Falcons, thanks largely to Leonard Fournette going off for 139 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns.The Bills spoiled Kenny Pickett's first start with a 38-3 drubbing over the Steelers, the Patriots brought Jared Goff and the Lions' offense back to Earth in a 29-0 shutout and the Jets beat the injury-riddled Dolphins 40-17 after exploding for 21 fourth-quarter points. Competitive football was no where to be found in the AFC East on Sunday.500 at the same time for the first time since 2015 (more on the latter in a second). But Brian Daboll's G-Men scored 17 points in the second half while holding Green Bay scoreless (aside from an intentional safety with seconds remaining) to win 27-22. The Packers looked well on their way to an easy victory over the Giants in London, leading 20-10 at halftime over a team with a hobbled quarterback (Daniel Jones sprained his ankle last week against the Bears) and a wide receiver corp and secondary depleted by injuries.We're coming off a jam-packed sports weekend, so let's get started.
It's Wajih AlBaroudi filling in for Zachary Pereles.
