N.F.L. Scores & Updates 4: Tyler Eifert wounded, patriots dominate

The Los Angeles Rams played Thursday and the Kansas City Chiefs do not play until Monday in N.F.L. Week 4. That leaves the Miami Dolphins as the only unbeaten team to play on Sunday. Of course, Baker Mayfield leaves for Cleveland, so do not miss excitement.

Chicago Bears 45, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10

During the Chicago Bears' hot start to the season, it was sometimes felt that Mitchell Trubisky, a second-year quarterback, was holding on to the team's elite defense. After making six touchdown passes Sunday in the 48-10 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Chicago, his critics are expected to calm down considerably.

Trubisky, who entered the game with just two touchdowns throughout the season, was a model of efficiency, completing 19 of his 26 passes for 354 yards; his touchdown passes were distributed to five different receivers. He finished a N.F.L. record for touchdown passes in a match – an initial record set by Sid Luckman of Chicago in 1943 – and even tied for the lead with 53 yards in just three runs.

It was the opposite story for buccaneers. The team launched Ryan Fitzpatrick, despite the end of the suspension of Jameis Winston, before moving to Winston at half-time, the offensive having done nothing against Khalil Mack and the defense of the Bears.

Winston moved the ball more than Fitzpatrick but showed the same propensity for turnovers, with two interceptions on only 20 attempts. But while every quarterback from Tampa Bay was struggling, neither one nor the other looked more like a footnote in the game.

Chicago's loss came even though the team lost their top scorer, Akiem Hicks, who was sent off in the first period for contacting an official. Even without him, the Bears kept Tampa Bay at 311 rushing yards, ending a series in which Fitzpatrick had established a N.F.L. record by throwing for 400 yards or more in three consecutive games.

Both teams are now heading for their weeks off, although Chicago is doing so with a 3-1 record and tons of optimism on both sides of the ball. departure became 2-2.

New England Patriots 38, Miami Dolphins 7

It seems that nothing is going wrong with the New England Patriots, after all. The team made a double with a 38-7 double against the Miami Dolphins, one of the last three undefeated teams of N.F.L.

Both teams took a slow start with a score of 3-0 after a quarter, but a second quarter of 21 points allowed them to take the advantage and was never challenged.

Tom Brady was intercepted twice, and the Patriots lost Rob Gronkowski after an ankle injury in the third quarter, but their pass was not perfect thanks to Sony Michel. 112 yards on 25 races. The rookie out of Georgia was a perfect complement to James White, who had 44 rushing yards, 68 rushing yards and two touchdowns in total.

The New England defense did the rest with only 172 yards of offense. It was pretty ugly for the Dolphins as the team shot Ryan Tannehill of the match in favor of Brock Osweiler in the fourth quarter. While the game was out of reach, Osweiler completed 4 of 5 passes for 35 yards and a touchdown, but that was not enough to mark the New England victory.

New England will host Indianapolis next week, while the Dolphins will try to get their season back on track with a road match against Cincinnati.

Dallas Cowboys 26, Detroit Lions 24

The Dallas Cowboys survived a late Detroit Lions charge as Dak Prescott led the offense on a 55-yard run in the final two minutes, setting Brett Maher's 38-yard goal in a 26-24 victory. .

The Cowboys led 13-10 at half-time and increased their margin to 20-10 with three-quarters, but the Lions showed no resignation. Matthew Stafford's 38-meter pass to Golden Tate gave Detroit a 2-minute lead in 17 seconds.

But Prescott calmly progressed to the field, scoring most of the yards on a deep pass to Ezekiel Elliott, who had 34 yards and was on a great day for the 240-yard running back melee.

Stafford has done about as much as a quarterback can do without winning. He completed 24 of 30 passes for 307 yards and two touchdowns, but in a game that did not have double-sided sales, Elliott's excellence proved too difficult for Detroit to beat. .

Dallas improved to 2-2, while the Lions, under freshman head coach Matt Patricia, fell to 1-3.

Green Bay Packers 22, Buffalo Bills 0

A week after shocking the world by claiming as outsiders at 16.5 points, the Buffalo Bills have entered a game against Green Bay that should lose at least 9.5. They have more than doubled this deficit by losing 22-0 in an ever competitive match.

Aaron Rodgers, who still has a difficult knee injury, was only 22-of-40 with a touchdown and an interception, but the Green Bay defense made it easier by intercepting the rookie quarter twice Josh Allen. yards of total attack.

Much of the Packers' success comes from the enormous pressure on Allen. The first round pick was fired seven times – three times by Kyler Fackrell – and was hit 11 times.

With the team's first shutout since 2010, Green Bay's record improved to 2-1-1. The Packers' Week 2 draw puts them behind the 3-1 Chicago Bears at N.F.C. North ranking.

Houston Texans 37, Indianapolis Colts 34

The Indianapolis Colts made the strange choice of going to 4th and 4th from their own 43-yard line in the last minute of overtime, and the decision was immediately unsuccessful, while the Texans completed a pass goal on the ground to ensure a 37-34 win.

The teams had exchanged goals in overtime and Andrew Luck was trying to win his team to a win when a penalty kick helped the leader go out. At 24 seconds from the end of the match, the offense remained in fourth place in an unsuccessful attempt to pull out Houston.

After a timeout, the Colts inexplicably decided to start. Luck tried a pass for Chester Rogers – it was Luck's 62nd attempt at play – and the ball fell short of the broad receiver's hands, essentially condemning the Colts.

Deshaun Watson did not hesitate a second. He made a short pass to DeAndre Hopkins, who ran in the middle for 24 yards, scoring Ka'imi Fairbairn's winning shot.

The Indianapolis defeat ruined Adam Vinatieri's chance to celebrate after his first-half start in the final seconds of the first half, which allowed him to be defeated by Morten Anderson. history. Vinatieri scored another overtime goal, giving him 567 in 672 attempts. Anderson had 565 in 709 attempts.

Jacksonville Jaguars 31, New York Jets 12

Blake Bortles had two touchdown passes, including a 67-yard throw at Donte Moncrief, and the Jacksonville Jaguars used a dominant defensive performance to face the New York Jets 31-12 on Sunday.

Bortles had a career-high 388 rushing yards, surpassing 375 yards for the second time in three games.

Sam Darnold, the Jets rookie, was harassed early and often, getting fired three times and making almost three interceptions. The choice of Tashaun Gipson was overturned by a penalty on the other side of the pitch, and Pro Bowl corner-half AJ Bouye and Jalen Ramsey each dropped interceptions that would have ended New's goal attempts. York.

Jacksonville's biggest concern stemming from the victory was the health of running back Leonard Fournette, who suffered a new injury to his right thigh. Fournette ran 11 times for 30 yards before leaving the match.

Darnold had 17 of 34 passes for 167 yards. The 1-2 1-2 from Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell total 26 rushing yards.
