Eagles 31, Texans 21
Houston Mark Sanchez replaced the injured Nick Foles and threw for 202 yards and two touchdowns to lead Philadelphia over Houston.

He threw two interceptions in three quarters, but made throws when he had to.
Bengals 33, Jaguars 23
Cincinnati Andy Dalton threw a pair of touchdown passes, one of them to A.J. Green in the Pro Bowl receiver's return from a toe injury, but also had a pair of interceptions as the Bengals held off the Jaguars. Jeremy Hill ran for a career-high 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 60-yarder in the fourth quarter.
Chiefs 24, Jets 10
Kansas City Alex Smith threw for 199 yards and two touchdowns, Jamaal Charles ran for another score and Kansas City sent New York to its eighth straight loss. Tight ends Travis Kelce and Anthony Fasano each caught touchdown passes, and the Chiefs (5-3) won their third straight and fifth in six games on the same day former running back Priest Holmes was inducted into their ring of honour. Making his first start with the Jets (1-8), Michael Vick was 21 of 27 for 196 yards and a touchdown.
Dolphins 37, Chargers 0
Miami Gardens, Fla. Ryan Tannehill threw for 288 yards and three scores, and Miami forced four turnovers to rout San Diego. Tannehill went 24 for 34 and threw touchdown passes to Charles Clay, Rishard Matthews and Jarvis Landry. San Diego's Philip Rivers threw three interceptions, two to Brent Grimes, and was sacked three times. The Dolphins (5-3) earned their third consecutive victory. The Chargers (5-4) lost their third game in a row.
Vikings 29, Redskins 26
Minneapolis Teddy Bridgewater outplayed Robert Griffin III down the stretch after a rough start, Matt Asiata ran for three scores and the Vikings spoiled Griffin's return to the Redskins with a victory. Bridgewater completed 26 of 42 passes for 268 yards for the Vikings (4-5), who sacked Griffin five times. Griffin went 18 for 28 for 251 yards, one TD and one interception for the Redskins. This was a rough day for the Redskins, starting with a crash between their two buses on the way to the stadium.
Browns 22, Buccaneers 17
Cleveland Brian Hoyer threw a 34-yard TD pass to Taylor Gabriel with 8:59 remaining, helping Cleveland complete a favourable stretch of its schedule with a win over Tampa Bay. Cleveland was trailing 17-16 when Hoyer completed his second TD pass. Hoyer finished 21 of 34 for 300 yards, two TDs and two interceptions. He improved to 8-3 as Cleveland's starter. The Browns (5-3) have their best record at the midway point since 2007, when they won 10 and barely missed the playoffs.
Rams 13, 49ers 10
Santa Clara, Calif. Colin Kaepernick fumbled at the goal line with two seconds remaining, and St. Louis sacked the San Francisco quarterback eight times on the way to an upset over the 49ers.
Seahawks 30, Raiders 24
Seattle Marshawn Lynch rushed for two first-half touchdowns, Bruce Irvin tipped and intercepted Derek Carr's pass and returned it 35 yards for another score and the Seahawks beat the Oakland Raiders. After a tumultuous previous month, the Seahawks (5-3) won their second straight behind a strong first half, three field goals from Steven Hauschka and a defence that made Carr look like a rookie much of the afternoon.
