NFL Week 8 Roundup: Winston, Browns stage massive upset over Ravens
NFL Week 8 Roundup: Winston, Browns stage massive upset over Ravens


CLEVELAND — Jameis Winston threw a 38-yard touchdown pass — his third of the game — to Cedric Tillman with 59 seconds left as the Cleveland Browns stunned Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 29-24 on Sunday to snap a five-game losing streak.

Making his first start in two years and replacing injured starter Deshaun Watson, Winston helped the Browns (2-6) take down their AFC North rival.

But only after surviving a late comeback attempt by Jackson, who drove the Ravens (5-3) to Cleveland’s 24 in the final seconds. Jackson brought time to avoid sacks and threw two incompletions into the end zone, the second to Zay Flowers as time expired.

Following the play, Jackson threw his helmet in anger in front of Baltimore’s bench as the Ravens’ five-game winning streak ended with a surprising loss.

Winston finished 27 of 41 for 334 yards in his first start since Sept. 25, 2022, for New Orleans. The 30-year-old took over Cleveland’s offence this week after Watson suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture a week ago.

EAGLES 37, BENGALS 17

CINCINNATI — Jalen Hurts rushed for three touchdowns and passed for another TD, helping the Philadelphia Eagles pound the Cincinnati Bengals 37-17 on Sunday for their third consecutive victory.

Hurts was 16-for-20 passing for 236 yards. He also had 10 carries for 37 yards.

Saquon Barkey rushed for 108 yards as Philadelphia (5-2) won for the fourth time in five games overall. The Eagles scored the last 20 points of the afternoon.

Hurts’ 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter capped an 85-yard drive that ate up 7:37 of the clock, giving Philadelphia a 34-17 lead with 4 1/2 minutes left.

Nakobe Dean then recovered a Mike Gesicki fumble, and Jake Elliott kicked a 47-yard field goal to help close it out.

Cincinnati (3-5) finished with just 58 yards rushing, continuing a season-long problem. Joe Burrow was 26 for 37 for 234 yards and a touchdown with an interception.

LIONS 52, TITANS 14

DETROIT — Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes and David Montgomery was the first of five players to score in the first half for the Detroit Lions, who romped past the Tennessee Titans 52-14 on Sunday.

The NFC North-leading Lions (6-1) have the conference’s best record after winning five straight games, averaging 40-plus points over the last four.

Detroit had its highest-scoring game since a 55-point performance against Chicago in 1997 and scored at least 50 for the fourth time in franchise history.

The Titans (1-6) were routed for a second straight week and have already signalled this is a rebuilding year by trading veteran receiver DeAndre Hopkins and starting linebacker Ernest Jones Jr.

Detroit has been on a roll lately by leaning on Goff, but it had more points (42) than he had passing yards (28) early in the third quarter. He finished 12 of 15 for 85 yards.

PACKERS 30, JAGUARS 27

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Backup Malik Willis completed a 51-yard pass to Jayden Reed that set up Brandon McManus’ second winning kick in as many weeks, a 24-yarder that lifted the Green Bay Packers to a 30-27 victory at Jacksonville on Sunday.

Willis rallied the Packers (6-2) to their fourth consecutive win, this one with Jordan Love watching from the sideline. Willis completed 4 of 5 passes for 56 yards, with a touchdown and the biggest completion of the day.

Willis found Reed wide open down the left sideline after safety Andre Cisco fell down in coverage. It was all the Packers needed to rebound from Trevor Lawrence’s perfectly placed, 14-yard touchdown pass to Evan Engram that helped tie the game.

Engram caught the ball between three defenders and gave the Jaguars (2-6) all the momentum. But Packers coach Matt LaFleur dialled up a gut-punch to Jacksonville on second down.

Josh Jacobs ran for 127 yards and two touchdowns for Green Bay, which lost Love to a left groin injury in the third quarter. Love dropped to the ground near the sideline following a second down throw to Jacobs. Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker bumped Love after the play, but the quarterback had been hobbled most of the game.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Kyler Murray drove the Cardinals into position for a game-winning field goal by Chad Ryland as time expired for the second straight week, and Arizona spoiled Tua Tagovailoa’s return from a concussion, beating the Miami Dolphins 28-27 on Sunday.

Murray led two scoring drives in the fourth quarter to rally the Cardinals from a nine-point deficit. The first concluded with a 2-yard touchdown run by James Conner that got Arizona (4-4) within 27-25. The second was a methodical 13-play, 71-yard march that ended with Ryland’s 34-yard kick. A week earlier, Ryland was good from 32 yards on the final play to beat the Los Angeles Chargers 17-15.

Tagovailoa threw for 234 yards and the Dolphins (2-5) had their best offensive performance of the season in his first start since he was diagnosed with the third known concussion of his career against the Buffalo Bills on Sept. 12. He was designated to return on Monday after doctors deemed it safe for him to play. He cleared the concussion protocol Friday following an examination by an independent neurological consultant.

Tagovailoa was mostly sharp, completing 28 of 38 passes. He lost a fumble on the opening drive that Miami recovered, and a snap went over his head in the third quarter, resulting in a safety.

HOUSTON — C.J. Stroud threw for 285 yards and a touchdown and Joe Mixon ran for 102 yards with a score to help the Houston Texans to a 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Stroud bounced back after he had a career-worst 86 yards passing in a loss to the Packers last week to allow the Texans (6-2) to extend their lead atop the AFC South.

Houston’s defence intercepted Anthony Richardson once and hurried and harassed him all game as the Texans swept their season series with Indianapolis (4-4) for just the second time in franchise history.

The Colts appeared to have taken the lead with about three minutes left when Mixon fumbled and it was recovered by defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo.

He jumped up after grabbing the fumble and rumbled 84 yards for what was first called a touchdown that made it 27-23. But the play was reviewed and the score was wiped away when he was ruled down by contact.

The Colts couldn’t move the ball after that and had to punt after Danielle Hunter sacked Richardson on third down.

PATRIOTS 25, JETS 22

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Rhamondre Stevenson plunged into the end zone with 22 seconds left and the New England Patriots recovered after first-round draft pick Drake Maye left with a concussion early to beat Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets 25-22 on Sunday.

Starter-turned-backup Jacoby Brissett replaced the quarterback who replaced him and led the Patriots (2-6) on two fourth-quarter scoring drives to snap a six-game losing streak and send the Jets (2-6) to their fifth loss in a row.

Stevenson scored two touchdowns and also caught the 2-point conversion that made it 25-22. Rodgers took over at his own 30 with no timeouts and missed one deep pass before connecting with Davante Adams for 16 yards, but far from the sideline.

As the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Patriots defence leapt for joy on the field. It was their first win at home in more than a year – since week 7 of last season. Instead of being alone in the AFC East cellar, they are now tied with New York for last.

FALCONS 31, BUCCANEERS 26

TAMPA, Fla. — Kirk Cousins threw for 276 yards and four touchdowns to help the Atlanta Falcons take sole possession of first place in the NFC South with a 31-26 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Kyle Pitts scored on receptions of 36 and 49 yards and Cousins also tossed TD passes of 30 yards to Darnell Mooney and 7 yards to Bijan Robinson to give the Falcons (5-3) a two-game sweep of the season series between the division rivals.

Baker Mayfield threw for 330 yards and three TDs but also tossed a pair of costly interceptions. The Bucs had a chance to win it after driving to the Atlanta 33 in the closing seconds, however, Mayfield’s Hail Mary throw from the 38 was caught by Rakim Jarrett behind the end zone as time expired.

The Falcons improved to 4-0 within the NFC South. The Bucs (4-4) also lost 36-30 in overtime at Atlanta on Oct. 3, when Cousins threw for a career-high 509 yards with four TDs.

Mayfield, playing with injured receivers Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, tossed a pair of TD passes to Cade Otton, including a 4-yarder that trimmed what was once a 14-point deficit to 31-26 with just under seven minutes remaining. The Falcons took the ball, and with help from an 18-yard scramble by Cousins and a pair of fourth-down conversions held the ball until Younghoe Koo missed a 46-yield field goal with 1:01 left.
