NFL: Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills beat Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs while Cam Little breaks NFL field goal record

03.11.2025, 04:52 skysports.com

Josh Allen overcame Patrick Mahomes again, Cam Little made NFL kicking history and Daniel Jones endured a miserable day for the Indianapolis Colts on a high-scoring Sunday...

Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass and ran for two scores to outduel Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo defeated Kansas City in a rematch of last season's AFC championship game.

James Cook had 114 yards rushing and Buffalo's defense did the rest in harassing Mahomes, who was sacked three times, hit 15 more and finished with the worst completion percentage of his career.

The game was decided in the final 17 seconds, when Mahomes threw three straight incompletions from Buffalo's 40. The last throw fell short of the end zone and was batted down by rookie Maxwell Hairston. The drive began at Kansas City's 42 after Matt Prater's 52-yard field goal attempt for the Bills struck the right upright.

Allen was 23 of 26 - a team-record 88.5 completion percentage - for 273 yards for Buffalo, who improved to 6-2 and has won two straight since losing consecutive games. The Bills have defeated Kansas City in five straight regular-season meetings, but are 0-4 in playoff matchups dating to the 2020 postseason - including last season's AFC title game.

The Chiefs (5-4) had a three-game win streak snapped after winning five of their last six.

Mahomes, who entered having passed for three touchdowns in each of his past three outings, finished 15 of 34 - a career-worst 44.1 completion percentage - for 250 yards and no scores and an interception.

Caleb Williams connected with Colston Loveland for a 58-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left as Chicago beat Cincinnati in a wild game that featured three touchdowns in the last two minutes and two lead changes in the final minute.

After Joe Flacco put the Bengals ahead 42-41 with a nine-yard touchdown pass to Andrei Iosivas, Chicago took over on its own 28 with 54 seconds left. Four plays later, on first down from the 42, Williams found Loveland down the middle. The rookie tight end caught it at the Bengals 36, bounced off Cincinnati defensive backs Jordan Battle and Geno Stone and ran to the end zone to give Chicago its fifth win in six games.

Williams passed for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and he also caught a TD pass from D.J. Moore on a trick play for the Bears' first score. He later hauled in a 20-yard pass from Tyson Bagent, becoming the first starting QB in nearly 82 years with multiple receptions in a game.

The 40-year-old Flacco was 30 of 44 for a career-high 470 yards and four touchdowns. But the Bengals scored at least 30 points and lost for the second straight week and sixth time dating to last season.

Trevor Lawrence scored on a quarterback sneak in overtime for his second rushing touchdown of the game, and the Jacksonville Jaguars held on to beat Las Vegas 30-29 on Sunday when nose tackle DaVon Hamilton batted down Geno Smith's pass to deny the Raiders a winning two-point conversion.

Jacksonville's Cam Little broke an NFL record with a 68-yard field goal at the end of the first half, and his 48-yarder with 16 seconds left sent the game to OT.

With 3:24 left in the extra period, Lawrence jumped over the pile and stretched the ball just over the goal line for a 30-23 lead with 3:24 left. Smith responded by hitting Brock Bowers for a two-yard touchdown, but his throw on the two-point try never even reached the end zone because the 335-pound Hamilton got his hands up and swatted it away.

Lawrence, who battled an illness, completed 23 of 34 passes for 220 yards, and his seven-yard run early in the fourth quarter put the Jags ahead 13-9. Travis Etienne rushed for 84 yards on 22 carries.

Bowers, who missed the previous three games because of a knee injury, caught 12 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns. Smith passed for 284 yards and four touchdowns.

Bo Nix threw two touchdown passes and Wil Lutz made a 34-yard field goal as time expired as the Denver Broncos rallied to beat the Houston Texans 18-15 to extend their winning streak to six games.

They improved to 4-0 this season in games where they trailed entering the fourth quarter.

The Broncos (7-2) had punted three times in a row before a 25-yard scramble by Nix got them to their 39 with less than a minute to go. J.K. Dobbins followed with a 9-yard scamper and a 9-yard run by Nix two plays after that set up the game-winning field goal.

Nix couldn't do much in the first three quarters against Houston's top-ranked defense, but RJ Harvey's 27-yard TD reception and Troy Franklin's 2-point conversion grab tied it at 15-all early in the fourth quarter.

C.J. Stroud sustained a concussion when he was hit at the end of a slide early in the first quarter. Ka'imi Fairbairn tied a career-high with five field goals, but the Texans struggled to move the ball with Davis Mills at quarterback after Stroud's injury.

Rico Dowdle rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns and his big run in the final minute set up Ryan Fitzgerald's last-second 49-yard field goal as Carolina beat Green Bay to snap the Packers' three-game win streak.

The loss could prove costly for Green Bay (5-2-1). Packers star tight end Tucker Kraft was carted off the field with a knee injury in the third quarter.

Running behind an injury-riddled offensive line, Dowdle responded with a brilliant 25-carry performance that included one big mistake. Fitzgerald's ensuing 48-yard extra-point attempt into a swirling wind was well short, keeping Carolina's lead at 13-6.

Dowdle and Fitzgerald both redeemed themselves after Green Bay's Josh Jacobs scored a tying touchdown from two yards out on third-and-goal with 2:01 left. Rather than having to go for two to tie the game, the Packers evened the score on Brandon McManus' extra point.

After Carolina got the ball back, Dowdle's 19-yard carry on second-and-10 from midfield got the Panthers in field-goal position, and the rookie kicker from Florida State came through as time expired.

Christian McCaffrey caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones while rushing for another score and San Francisco got back on track by running all over New York on the way to a victory.

McCaffrey accounted for 173 scrimmage yards - 106 on the ground on his 28 carries and 67 receiving on five catches.

A week after a franchise-low 10 rushing attempts, Kyle Shanahan's team ran the ball 39 times for 159 yards, including Brian Robinson Jr.'s 18-yard touchdown that sent a lot of the Giants crowd to the exits.

Jones completed his first 14 passes on the way to finishing 19 of 24 for 235 yards and touchdown passes to McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings. Jones bounced back from a fumble forced by Brian Burns and caught by Abdul Carter to improve to 5-2 as a starter this season.

Drake Maye threw two touchdown passes and had a pair of turnovers in an uneven performance as New England held on for its sixth straight victory over Atlanta after Parker Romo missed a potential tying extra point for the Falcons.

Terrell Jennings had his first career rushing touchdown for the Patriots (7-2).

New England led 24-17 in the fourth quarter when Michael Penix Jr. connected with Drake London for a 40-yard gain along the sideline with Christian Gonzalez in coverage. Gonzalez was injured on the play after being landed on the play, leaving the Patriots without their best cornerback with the Falcons in the red zone.

The Patriots forced a fourth-and-goal on the eight, but London outstretched Carlton Davis III on a jump ball for a toe-tapping touchdown to get the Falcons within a point. But Romo's extra point attempt missed wide right.

Maye finished 19 of 29 for 259 yards, but was sacked six times. He also had an interception and was strip-sacked just before halftime to set up a touchdown by Atlanta.

Penix passed for three touchdowns and finished 22 of 37 for 222 yards. Bijan Robinson rushed 12 times for 46 yards as the Falcons dropped to 0-5 when he rushes for fewer than 75.

Justin Herbert threw for 250 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score as the Los Angeles beat woeful Tennessee for their third win in four games.

Herbert, who came in leading the NFL with 2,140 yards passing, shook off an early pick-six and losing both his tackles to injuries before halftime. Right tackle Bobby Hurt hurt a groin in the first quarter, and left tackle Joe Alt was carted off in the second after reinjuring his right ankle.

The Chargers (6-3) took control midway through the third quarter, stopping the Titans and running back Tony Pollard on back-to-back plays at the one to protect a 20-17 lead.
