least three touchdown passes in a single season in NFL history. Only Tom Brady
(10 games in 2011) had a longer such streak in a single season. ... Nick Chubb of

Culver of the Colts in 1992 and Kink Richards of the 1933 Giants. ... Ravens
quarterback Lamar Jackson,

190 yards rushing in his first two NFL starts, the most by a quarterback in his
first two starts in the Super Bowl era. ... Bills quarterback Josh Allen's
75-yard touchdown pass to Robert Foster in
the first quarter against Jacksonville was the longest touchdown pass by a
rookie in franchise history.

18th straight season with a .500 record or better. That ranks second in NFL
history to only Dallas, which had 21 in a row from 1965-85. The Jets' losing
streak reached five games. ... Cleveland routed Cincinnati 35-20 for its first
road win since 2015, emphatically snapping a streak of 25 straight road losses
that was one shy of the Lions' NFL record. The Browns' 28 first-half points
were their most since 1991, when they scored 31 against the Colts. The Browns
also ended a run of seven straight losses to their intrastate rival. The
Bengals lost for the fifth time in six games. ... The Chargers pounded the
Cardinals 45-10 for their seventh win in the last eight games. ... The Jaguars
extended their losing streak to seven games with a 24-21 loss to Buffalo. ...

playoff picture after losing three straight and having their 10-game home
winning streak snapped in a 30-27 loss to Seattle. ... The Eagles rallied past
the Giants for a 25-22 win and are 17-4 against the Giants since 2008,
including 9-1 in the past 10. ... The Colts rallied past the Dolphins 27-24 and
have won five straight, their longest winning streak since 2014.
