PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts scored the winning touchdown on a quarterback draw with 2:37 left in overtime, and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Buffalo Bills 37-34 on a cold, rainy Sunday.
Philadelphia’s Jake Elliott tied the game with a 59-yard field goal with 20 seconds remaining in regulation. After the Bills went ahead with a field goal on the first possession of OT, Hurts ran virtually untouched for the 12-yard score that made the Eagles the only 10-1 team in the NFL.
Hurts threw for three touchdowns and ran for two more, outdueling Buffalo’s Josh Allen while rallying the Eagles from a 17-7 halftime deficit for the second straight game.
Hurts hit DeVonta Smith for 17- and 11-yard receptions in overtime, and D’Andre Swift had a 16-yard run to help set up Hurts’ touchdown.
Allen threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two scores for the Bills (6-6), who are in danger of missing the playoffs after winning the AFC East the past three years. He was intercepted in the fourth quarter by James Bradbury, setting up Hurts’ 29-yard TD pass to Olamide Zaccheaus for a 28-24 Philly lead.
Buffalo regained the lead when Allen threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Allen with 1:52 left in regulation.
Hurts finished 18 of 31 for 200 yards with an interception.
JAGUARS 24, TEXANS 21: Trevor Lawrence threw for 364 yards and a touchdown, and AFC South-leading Jacksonville (8-3) escaped with a victory at division rival Houston (6-5) when Matt Ammendola’s 58-yard field-goal attempt bounced off the crossbar with 34 seconds left.
The Jaguars avenged their 37-17 home loss to Houston in Week 3 and created some separation at the top of the division.
C.J. Stroud, the second overall pick in the draft, threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns as Houston’s three-game winning streak was snapped. He has 3,268 yards passing to move past Justin Herbert (3,224) for most in NFL history by a rookie in his first 11 games.
The Texans led by one after a touchdown run by Stroud midway through the third quarter. Lawrence responded with by throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Ridley and hitting Ridley for the 2-point conversion to make it 21-14.
Brandon McManus tacked on a field goal early in the fourth quarter but missed from 55 yards with seven minutes left. Stroud then orchestrated a 55-yard drive, capped by a 17-yard touchdown reception by Nico Collins, to cut the deficit to 24-21 with just over five minutes to go.
STEELERS 16, BENGALS 10: Kenny Pickett threw for a season-high 278 yards and visiting Pittsburgh (7-4) showed new life on offense days after firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, beating Joe Burrow-less Cincinnati (5-6).

With their fifth consecutive victory, the Broncos (6-5) moved above .500 for the first time under Coach Sean Payton.
The Browns missed out on a chance to match their best start since 1999 and lost several starters to injury, including rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in his first road start. He was hit hard by edge rusher Baron Browning just as he released a pass, drawing a late flag, although the hit appeared legal.
CHIEFS 31, RAIDERS 17: Patrick Mahomes passed for 298 yards and two touchdowns, and Kansas City (8-3) ended its three-game second-half scoring drought as it rallied for a win at Las Vegas (5-7).

Josh Jacobs rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown for the Raiders, ending a 12-game streak in which the Chiefs did not allow a 100-yard rusher.
