Falcons, Pats, Eagles stunned
CLEVELAND — Before he rolled out of bed, Baker Mayfield knew he’d have a good game.
“When I woke up this morning, I was feeling pretty dangerous,” the Browns rookie quarterback said with a smile and a hint of arrogance. “Real dangerous.”
Someone should have warned the Atlanta Falcons.
Mayfield threw a season-high three touchdown passes and rookie Nick Chubb streaked 92 yards for a TD as the Cleveland Browns ended a four-game losing streak with their best game in years, a stunning 28-16 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
The Browns (3-6-1) played their most complete game this season under interim coach Gregg Williams, their defensive coordinator who improved to 1-1 since replacing the fired Hue Jackson.
Titans 34, Patriots 10
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Tom Brady added another big chunk of NFL history to his resume.
The Tennessee Titans made sure the Patriots quarterback didn’t finish his 300th game by hitting him over and over again.
The Titans sacked Brady three times and hit him six more times as they beat New England 34-10 Sunday, snapping a seven-game skid against the Patriots in Mike Vrabel’s first game as head coach against the team he helped win three Super Bowls.
It was the most sacks allowed in a game this season by the Patriots (7-3), and coach Bill Belichick pulled Brady for Brian Hoyer midway through the fourth quarter.
Cowboys 27, Eagles 20
PHILADELPHIA — Eagles tight end Zach Ertz was tackled at the Dallas 9-yard line as time expired. Ertz caught 14 passes for 145 yards and two TDs on the night.
Ezekiel Elliott rushed for 151 yards and the winning score for the Cowboys with three minutes to play. Dak Prescott therew for 270 yards and a score, also rushed for a TD.
