New England Patriots 29, Buffalo Bills 26

New England struck first on a 14-yard Drake Maye touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs, Buffalo answered with 17 points in the second quarter to lead 17-14 at the half, and Maye put the Patriots back in front on a 2-yard pass to Doubs in the third. Allen's 34-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman gave Buffalo a 26-21 lead with 4:33 left, but Maye answered with an eight-play, 73-yard drive. On third-and-5 he rolled right and lofted a 23-yard touchdown to Chism, who caught it one-handed and kept control falling to the ground. Rhamondre Stevenson converted the two-point try for a 29-26 lead with 1:50 left.

Maye shook off a rough first half that included an interception and a lost fumble to finish 22-of-37 for 269 yards and three touchdowns, adding 54 rushing yards on eight scrambles. After Allen forced a deep throw that was intercepted, a heave he did not need to make with time to at least work toward field goal range, Maye hit Hunter Henry for a first down to run out the clock. Doubs finished with six catches for 58 yards and two touchdowns, and New England posted season highs of 29 points and 405 total yards after scoring 26 in its previous two games combined.

Allen was 23-of-33 for 253 yards with a touchdown pass and a 2-yard touchdown run just before halftime, his 88th career touchdown from scrimmage, which broke the franchise record he had shared with Hall of Famers Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas. It was also his 86th rushing touchdown, tying Priest Holmes for 16th on the NFL's career list. Coleman added 116 yards after D.J. Moore left with an injury, but a Buffalo defense that allowed 26 first downs could not get off the field when it counted, and the Bills fell to 3-1.

Los Angeles Rams 24, Philadelphia Eagles 20

For three quarters this looked like another Rams collapse. Two Matthew Stafford interceptions fed 10 first-half Eagles points, Philadelphia led 20-10 at the half, and neither team scored in the third quarter. Midway through the fourth, the Eagles had a chance to go up three scores, but Jalen Hurts missed Darius Cooper on fourth-and-goal from the 2-yard line. Los Angeles answered with a 10-play, 98-yard drive that ended with a 1-yard Kyren Williams touchdown, stopped Philadelphia on its 12th straight third down, and got the ball back. Williams scored again from 7 yards out with 1:17 left, and a Hurts fourth-down pass fell incomplete to end it.

Stafford finished 32-of-51 for 317 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, but Puka Nacua was back after missing two games with 9 catches for 125 yards, and Williams piled up 147 total yards on 26 touches. Los Angeles outgained Philadelphia 415 yards to 172 and blitzed Hurts on more than 60% of his dropbacks, sacking him four times. The Eagles went 0-for-12 on third down, their most attempts without a conversion since at least 1991, and averaged 3.0 yards per play. Hurts finished 12-of-27 for 93 yards, his fewest in a game he started and finished.

The injury toll made it worse. Saquon Barkley hurt his right hamstring early and did not return, and Philadelphia also lost cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (knee), edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (ankle), and running back Tank Bigsby, who needed help off the field late. The Eagles had already ruled out DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Zack Baun, with right tackle Lane Johnson a surprise inactive for personal reasons. At 2-2, Philadelphia heads to London next. The Rams, who also lost receiver Konata Mumpfield to a shoulder injury, are 2-2 and back in the NFC West race.

Kansas City Chiefs 30, Las Vegas Raiders 27

The only two unbeaten AFC West teams traded blows until Kansas City found its big plays. Kenneth Walker III's 76-yard run to close the third quarter, the longest in the NFL this season, set up Patrick Mahomes's second touchdown pass to Thornton and a 17-13 lead. Las Vegas retook the lead at 19-17, but Mahomes beat an all-out blitz for a 55-yard completion to Thornton on third-and-5, and Walker punched in a 2-yard touchdown with 3:21 left. A Raiders kickoff fumble turned into another Kansas City touchdown, and Kirk Cousins' 20-yard touchdown to Brock Bowers and a two-point conversion made it 30-27 with 1:46 left. Xavier Worthy recovered the onside kick and the Raiders would receive the ball back with 1:16 remaining on the clock, but Cousins was intercepted near midfield with 0:10 on the clock to end it.

Walker ran 22 times for 177 yards and two touchdowns, his second 170-yard game in four weeks as a Chief. Mahomes was 15-of-30 for 225 yards and two touchdowns under heavy pressure, and five plays of 20 or more yards accounted for 235 of Kansas City's 399 yards. Cousins threw for 365 yards, with Bowers, Michael Mayer, and Ian Thomas combining for 16 catches, 200 yards, and two touchdowns, but the Raiders took their first loss and fell to 3-1.

The win came at a cost. Thornton, who had five catches for 111 yards and both of Mahomes's touchdown passes, was carted off with a left ankle injury after the 55-yard catch, his leg placed in an air cast. Andy Reid said afterward that it "doesn't look good," and no official diagnosis had been announced when this recap was written. Rice left in the first quarter with a right hamstring injury that Reid described as a tweak, and the Chiefs now have a bye week to see where he stands. Through four weeks, the two receivers had combined for 24 catches, 409 yards, and three touchdowns.

49ers 24, Broncos 14: George Kittle's 56-yard touchdown on a screen put it away as San Francisco improved to 4-0, with Brock Purdy throwing two touchdowns without an interception.

Panthers 32, Lions 26: Tetairoa McMillan caught 14 passes for a career-high 192 yards and two touchdowns from Bryce Young (29-of-41, 329 yards), and Chuba Hubbard ran for 122 yards and two scores as Carolina, without receivers Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette, moved to 2-2 on Sunday Night Football. Jared Goff threw for 412 yards, but Detroit settled for four field goals, turned it over on downs at the Carolina 15, and fell to 2-2.

Sunday's list is long. Ja'Marr Chase (concussion), Marcus Mariota (knee), and Lamar Jackson (ankle) all left their games early, Saquon Barkley (hamstring) went down early in Philadelphia, and Kansas City lost Tyquan Thornton to an ankle injury that looked severe and Rashee Rice to a hamstring. Beyond those, Green Bay's Edgerrin Cooper (Achilles) was ruled out, the Chargers lost four starters during the game, Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell (knee), edge rusher Jonathan Greenard (ankle), and running back Tank Bigsby were hurt, and Bills receiver D.J. Moore, Commanders defender Charles Omenihu (groin), and Rams receiver Konata Mumpfield (shoulder) also left.

Many of the biggest names never played at all. Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield, Justin Jefferson, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Aaron Donald were all out, Carolina played Sunday night without receivers Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette, and Derwin James and several Broncos defenders sat too. Four weeks in, the injury report is shaping nearly every game, and the league is down to three unbeaten teams (Minnesota, San Francisco, and Kansas City) and five winless ones (Tennessee, Houston, Tampa Bay, Miami, and the Chargers).

Week 4 closes Monday night with the Falcons at the Saints, 8:15 PM ET. We'll have the preview, the cards, and every lean before kickoff.
