Jayden Daniels threw an incredible Hail Mary with the final play of the game as the Washington Commanders beat the Chicago Bears 18-15.

In a match-up between the two quarterbacks taken with the first two selections of the 2024 NFL draft, neither Daniels nor first-overall pick Caleb Williams had thrown a touchdown pass when the clock ticked down to zero.

But with the game's final action, number two pick Daniels launched a 52-yard throw that somehow found its way to Noah Brown in the end zone.

Back-to-back Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Las Vegas Raiders 27-20 to extend their winning start to the season to seven matches.

Travis Kelce had 10 catches for 90 yards and a touchdown while running back Kareem Hunt and wide receiver Xavier Worthy also found the end zone to hand the Raiders a fourth straight defeat.

Jameis Winston found Cedric Tillman with a 38-yard touchdown pass with 59 seconds left on the clock as the Cleveland Browns shocked the Baltimore Ravens 29-24 to end a five-game losing streak.

It was a stunning loss for the Ravens, who came into the game on a five-game winning streak.

Brandon McManus nailed another late field goal as the Green Bay Packers edged out the Jacksonville Jaguars 30-27 behind back-up quarterback Malik Willis.

McManus, who kicked Green Bay to victory on his debut last weekend, split the posts from 24 yards as the Packers rallied to a fourth straight win.

Green Bay starting quarterback Jordan Love was forced off with a groin problem in the third quarter, but Willis came in and made four of five passes for 56 yards, including a touchdown.

Josh Allen threw two touchdowns as the Buffalo Bills extended their winning streak to three games with a 31-10 success away to the Seattle Seahawks.

The New England Patriots overcame the loss of starting quarterback Drake Maye to edge out the New York Jets 25-22 as Rhamondre Stevenson scored a touchdown with 22 seconds left.

Maye exited with a concussion early on, and Jacoby Brissett, who began the season as the starting quarterback, came in to lead two fourth-quarter scoring drives that helped the Patriots end a six-game losing streak.

Tua Tagovailoa's return from concussion ended in defeat as Chad Ryland’s late field goal gave the Arizona Cardinals a 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins.

Tagovailoa threw for 234 yards as the Dolphins turned in a much-improved offensive performance, but the star quarterback on the day was Kyler Murray, who led two scoring drives for Arizona in the fourth quarter – the second of them ending in Ryland’s kick as time expired.

Jared Goff threw three touchdowns as the Detroit Lions crushed the Tennessee Titans 52-14.

Goff completed only 12 of 15 passes for 85 yards but that did not matter as Detroit made them count, while Jahmyr Gibbs had a 70-yard touchdown run late in the first quarter.
