ATLANTA -- Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of 39 passes for 217 yards to go along with two touchdowns and an interception as the Kansas City Chiefs escaped with a 22-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night. Carson Steele ran for 72 yards as the Chiefs (3-0) won their third one-score game to begin the season. Rashee Rice hauled in 12 receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Kirk Cousins completed 20 of 29 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown for Atlanta (1-2). He was also intercepted once. Drake London caught six passes for a team-high 67 yards and a touchdown. After trailing 14-13 at halftime, the Chiefs marched to the Falcons 1-yard line on the opening possession of the second half but were forced to settle for Harrison Butker's 21-yard field goal with 9:40 remaining in the third quarter. Mahomes later extended the Kansas City lead to 22-14 when he capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 13-yard scoring strike to JuJu Smith-Schuster with 1:16 to go in the third. Butker missed the ensuing extra-point attempt. Younghoe Koo's 54-yard field goal on the next possession cut Atlanta's deficit to 22-17 with 12:52 left in the game. Following a Kansas City punt, the Falcons went on a 15-play, 83-yard drive, but they came up short of the end zone after back-to-back incompletions from the Chiefs 6-yard line and turned the ball over on downs. Atlanta worked down to the Kansas City 13 on its last drive of the game, and on fourth-and-1, Bijan Robinson was stuffed for a loss of 3 yards to give the ball back to the Chiefs with 51 seconds remaining. Cousins found London for a 14-yard score with 11:07 left in the first quarter, and Kansas City didn't answer until there was 8:45 remaining in the second, tying things at 7 on Rice's 13-yard touchdown reception. Robinson rushed into the end zone from 1 yard out to put the Falcons up 14-7 with 6:37 left in the first half. Two field goals from Butker -- from 53 and 44 yards out -- in the final 2:43 of the half got the visitors within 14-13 at the break. --Jack Batten, Field Level Media.

Joshua Karty hit a 37-yard field goal with two seconds remaining and the Los Angeles Rams pulled off an improbable 27-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Inglewood, Calif., on Sunday by scoring 13 points in the final 6:15. Matthew Stafford was 16-of-25 passing for 221 yards and a touchdown, while Kyren Williams ran for 89 yards and two scores on the ground, with one more receiving, as the Rams (1-2) ended a five-game home losing streak against the 49ers. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy was 22-of-30 passing for 292 yards and connected on three touchdown passes with Jauan Jennings, who had 11 receptions for 175 yards. Jordan Mason rushed for 77 yards for San Francisco (1-2). After getting a 33-yard field goal from Karty with just over six minutes left to pull within 24-17, the Rams then went on a three-play, 55-yard drive to score on a 3-yard run from Williams with 1:51 to play, tying the score at 24. Los Angeles forced a San Francisco punt with under a minute to go, and rookie Xavier Smith returned the kick 38 yards to the 50-yard line. A 49ers pass interference penalty moved the ball to the San Francisco 19-yard line before Karty made the game-winner in his third NFL game. Panthers 36, Raiders 22 Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes and sparked what had been a dismal Carolina offense for a victory against host Las Vegas. Dalton, a 36-year-old veteran who became a journeyman after beginning his career with the Cincinnati Bengals, replaced 2023 No. 1 overall draft choice Bryce Young as the starting quarterback just three games into the season.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to KaVontae Turpin to pull Dallas within 28-25 with 2:53 remaining. However, the Cowboys were out of timeouts, and a 10-yard run by Lamar Jackson after the two-minute warning sealed the win for Baltimore (1-2). Jackson threw for 182 yards with a touchdown and ran for 87 yards and a score. Prescott completed 28 of 51 passes for 379 yards with two touchdowns. Tight end Jake Ferguson hauled in six catches for 95 yards for the Cowboys (1-2). Giants 21, Browns 15 Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes to Malik Nabers as New York notched a solid victory over host Cleveland. Jones was 24-of-34 passing for 236 yards and the two touchdowns to Nabers, who finished with eight receptions for 78 yards. Devin Singletary rushed for a touchdown and Dexter Lawrence had two of the Giants' eight sacks as New York (1-2) held Cleveland to 217 total yards. Deshaun Watson completed 21 of 37 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns for the Browns (1-2). Amari Cooper caught seven passes for 86 yards and two TDs. Colts 21, Bears 16 Jonathan Taylor ran for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Trey Sermon added a rushing TD and Jaylon Jones snagged two interceptions to boost host Indianapolis to a victory against Chicago. Indianapolis (1-2) overcame a pair of Anthony Richardson interceptions, succeeding with its ground game while shoring up what had been a suspect run defense. The Colts had 150 rushing yards compared to 63 for the Bears (1-2). Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, was 33-of-52 passing for a career-high 363 yards and his first two career TD passes to go along with two interceptions. Williams also lost a fumble on a strip-sack that set up Taylor's 1-yard scoring run with 5:22 left that put the Colts ahead 21-9. Vikings 34, Texans 7 Sam Darnold threw four touchdown passes, Aaron Jones accounted for 148 scrimmage yards and a score and Minnesota rolled over Houston in Minneapolis. Darnold completed 17 of 28 passes for 181 yards for Minnesota (3-0). Jones finished with 19 carries for 102 yards to go along with five catches for 46 yards and a touchdown. C.J. Stroud hit on 20 of 31 passes for 215 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for Houston (2-1). Cam Akers was limited to nine carries for 21 yards as the Texans struggled on the ground without injured starter Joe Mixon. Eagles 15, Saints 12 Saquon Barkley rushed for 147 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner from 4 yards out with 1:01 remaining, as Philadelphia edged host New Orleans. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts passed for 311 yards and Dallas Goedert had 10 catches for 170 yards, including a 61-yard reception that set up the winning score. Barkley put Philadelphia ahead 7-3 with a 65-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. The Eagles (2-1) stymied the Saints' high-scoring offense, which had averaged 45.5 points in its first two games. Derek Carr, who entered the game leading the NFL in passer rating (142.4), completed just 14 of 25 passes for 142 yards with a touchdown and an interception for New Orleans (2-1). Steelers 20, Chargers 10 Justin Fields threw a 55-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III to highlight a dominant second-half performance that lifted host Pittsburgh to a win over Los Angeles. The Fields-Austin connection closed the scoring with 7:02 left in the game and added insult to injury for Los Angeles (2-1), which lost quarterback Justin Herbert to an apparent ankle issue and star linebacker Joey Bosa to an ailing hip. Fields finished with 245 yards, the touchdown and an interception on 25-for-32 passing. He also rushed for a score. Austin had four catches for 95 yards for the Steelers (3-0). Herbert completed 12 of 18 passes for 125 yards and a TD before hobbling off the field with just under seven minutes left in the third quarter.

Bucky Irving led Tampa Bay (2-1) with 70 rushing yards, while Chris Godwin hauled in six passes for 53 yards and a score. Packers 30, Titans 14 Malik Willis threw for a touchdown and ran for another as Green Bay never trailed in a win over Tennessee in Nashville. Playing against the team that traded him last month for a seventh-round draft choice, Willis completed 13 of 19 passes for 202 yards and added 73 yards on the ground in the best game of his three-year NFL career. Green Bay (2-1) also got three field goals from kicker Brayden Narveson, who was in training camp with Tennessee. Tennessee quarterback Will Levis completed 26 of 34 passes for 260 yards with two touchdowns. The second-year signal-caller absorbed eight sacks and tossed two interceptions as the Titans -- who rushed for only 33 yards -- fell to 0-3. The Packers dominated in total yardage, outgaining the Titans 378-237. Seahawks 24, Dolphins 3 Zach Charbonnet rushed for a career-high 91 yards and two touchdowns and the defense did the rest as Seattle defeated visiting Miami. DK Metcalf hauled in a 71-yard touchdown reception and Jason Myers kicked a 56-yard field goal for the Seahawks (3-0). Seattle's defense limited the Dolphins (1-2) to 205 yards of total offense.
