In all that rain, Josh Allen\u002Dvs.\u002DLamar Jackson probably never was going to be a classic quarterback battle.

To get there, Jackson completed all four passes but for just 21 yards. He ran four times for more yards, 29.

Harbaugh explained afterward that his thinking was if they didn’t make it, the Bills would take over at, or about, their two. Jackson’s ill-advised pick, though, made it a touchback with Buffalo beginning its drive at its 20. Allen completions of nine and 16 yards, plus an Allen scramble for seven, a roughing-the-passer penalty on Baltimore, advanced the Bills to the Baltimore 11, with 1:50 left.

The Ravens converted four of their first five third downs of the game — great. But only two of their last eight.Article content Look, one third-down pass completion for nine yards over the last two-and-a-half quarters of any game is rarely going to lead a quarterback’s team to victory.Article content The Pats refused to believe they didn’t have a chance at historic Lambeau Field without their starting quarterback, Mac Jones, sidelined by an ankle injury.

Sure, a pick-six thrown by Green Bay’s iconic QB Rodgers just before halftime helped New England’s cause big-time.Article content His 13-yard scoring throw to receiver Romeo Doubs in the fourth quarter was the 500th touchdown pass of the 38-year-old’s career.When Jacksonville jumped out to a 14-0 lead at Philadelphia by the end of the first quarter, they’d just outscored the Eagles, Chargers and Colts over their previous nine quarters of play by 76-10.Article content

Wilson completed only 50% of his 36 throws, but drove the Jets 65 yards in 10 plays for the win, a two-yard run by rookie running back Breece Hall. Derrick Henry ripped off big chunks early in the Titans’ 24-17 win at arch-rival Indianapolis. That, as always, allowed Ryan Tannehill to shine, which he did, completing all but four of his 21 passes for only 137 yards, but two went for key early touchdowns.
