Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles remained the NFL’s only undefeated team thanks to a missed field goal after a poor decision by Kyler Murray.

Hurts ran for two touchdowns and the Eagles held on for a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday when Matt Ammendola’s 43-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide right.

Before Ammendola’s kick, Murray slid just short of a first down on a second-down run. He then spiked the ball on third down because the Cardinals had no time-outs remaining with 23 seconds left in the game. The spike forced Ammendola’s attempt. If Murray would’ve run for one more yard before sliding, he would’ve gained the first down and the spike would have stopped the clock and given Arizona time to run at least one more play from the Eagles’ 25-yard line.

“At that moment, I was trying to get down as quick as possible to save as much time as possible,” Murray said. “Hindsight, I would have loved to get more yards or 1 yard — whatever it was.”

Hurts managed the clock perfectly when he stayed in bounds on a second-down run during the previous drive which concluded with Cameron Dicker making a 23-yard field goal to provide the winning margin. Dicker played his first game for the Eagles in place of the injured Jake Elliott.

“All the credit to him, he made the kick in a huge moment,” Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said about Dicker. “The guys really embraced him and made him feel welcome.”

With 19 rushing touchdowns in his first 24 career starts, Hurts set an NFL record. He is proving to be one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in the NFL.

Giants 27, Packers 22 in London

Sunday’s NFL action kicked off in London with the New York Giants rallying for a 27-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Saquon Barkley ran for a 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to give the Giants the lead. Aaron Rodgers had a chance to win but his pass on fourth-and-1 from the 6 was knocked down at the line of scrimmage by safety Xavier McKinney.

Cowboys 22, Rams 10

The Dallas Cowboys upset the Los Angeles Rams 22-10 on the road as Cooper Rush improved to 4-0 filling in for Dak Prescott. DeMarcus Lawrence returned a fumble 19 yards for a touchdown on the Rams’ opening drive.

Ravens 19, Bengals 17

Justin Tucker kicked a 43-yard field goal on the final play to give the Baltimore Ravens a 19-17 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Tucker — arguably the greatest kicker in NFL history and owner of the best career field goal percentage (91.3%) and the longest field goal in NFL history (66 yards) — also made a 58-yard kick in the third quarter.

Buccaneers 21, Falcons 15

Tom Brady had 351 yards passing and a touchdown in Tampa Bay’s 21-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Brady avoided his first three-game losing streak since 2002.

A questionable roughing the passer penalty on third down against Atlanta’s Grady Jarrett allowed the Buccaneers to extend the final drive and run out the clock.

Chargers 30, Browns 28

Chargers coach Brandon Staley went for it on fourth-and-two from his team’s 46 with 1:10 left. Justin Herbert’s pass fell incomplete, giving Cleveland an opportunity. However, the Los Angeles Chargers escaped with a 30-28 win over the Cleveland Browns after rookie Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 11 seconds left.

Austin Ekeler had 173 yards rushing and scored twice for Los Angeles.

Jets 40, Dolphins 17

Michael Carter had a pair of 1-yard touchdowns, helping the New York Jets rout the Miami Dolphins 40-17. The Jets are 3-2 for the first time since 2017.

Vikings 29, Bears 22

Kirk Cousins scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak late in the fourth quarter to give the Minnesota Vikings a 29-22 win over the Chicago Bears.

Justin Fields threw his first touchdown pass in 15 quarters in a losing cause for Chicago.

Bills 38, Steelers 3

Josh Allen tossed four touchdown passes in the first half, including a 98-yarder to Gabe Davis in the first minute of the game, and the Buffalo Bills cruised past the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-3.

Allen finished with 424 yards passing, the second most in team history, and most in a game ending in regulation.

Patriots 29, Lions 0

Rookie Bailey Zappe threw a touchdown pass in his first career start and the New England Patriots shut down the league’s highest-scoring offense, blanking the Detroit Lions 29-0.

Saints 39, Seahawks 32

The man known as “The Swiss Army Knife” used all his tools on Sunday. Taysom Hill ran for three touchdowns and threw for another to lead the New Orleans Saints to a 39-32 win over the Seattle Seahawks.

49ers 37, Panthers 15

Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdowns in San Francisco’s 37-15 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Titans 20, Commanders 17

David Long Jr. intercepted Carson Wentz at the 1-yard line with 6 seconds left to preserve a 20-17 victory for the Tennessee Titans against the Washington Commanders.

Texans 13, Jaguars 6

Dameon Pierce ran for 99 yards and a touchdown, and Houston beat Jacksonville 13-6 for the Texans’ ninth straight win against the Jaguars.
