NFL round-up: Chiefs get first win of the season as Bengals crash again | NFL

Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdown passes, including one to returning star Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs overcame three early turnovers to beat Jacksonville 17-9 on Sunday for their third victory against the Jaguars in 10 months.

The Chiefs (1-1) won their eighth straight in the series and avoided becoming the first Super Bowl champions to start 0-2 since Denver in 1999.

The Jaguars (1-1), who insisted all week they owed the Chiefs because of a loss in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs in January, pretty much no-showed in their home opener. Coach Doug Pederson’s team had another slow start, failed to capitalize on two of three turnovers and struggled to protect quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Lawrence threw incomplete on a fourth-and-12 play with 4:16 remaining in an eight-point game, and Kansas City didn’t let the Jaguars get the ball back.

Chiefs All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, making his season debut after ending his holdout and signing a one-year contract, dominated his one-on-one matchups.

Baltimore Ravens 27-24 Cincinnati Bengals

Lamar Jackson tossed two touchdown passes, Gus Edwards ran for another score and the Ravens held off the slow-starting Bengals. The AFC North champion Bengals fell to 0-2 for the second consecutive season. The Ravens, their division rival, certainly looked like the better team. Jackson was 24 for 33 for 237 yards. He ran for 54 more. Edwards picked up 62 yards on 10 carries. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looked as if he might still be suffering the effects of a calf injury in training camp. He finished 27 for 41 for 222 yards and two TDs.

Las Vegas Raiders 10-38 Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen rebounded from a four-turnover, season-opening dud by throwing three touchdown passes and leading the Bills to a rout of the Raiders.

Linebackers Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard each intercepted Jimmy Garoppolo, and the Bills eased the lingering frustrations following a 22-16 overtime loss at the New York Jets on Monday and a week full of off-field distractions.

Coach Sean McDermott had to address his leadership group after team owner Terry Pegula was accused of making racist comments. Pegula denied the allegations. And then on Wednesday, a Bills media reporter was overheard on an open microphone questioning receiver Stefon Diggs’ character. Diggs went to social media a day later to call the comments “hurtful” and “insulting.”

Seattle Seahawks 37-31 Detroit Lions

Geno Smith threw a second touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett on the opening drive of overtime, lifting the Seahawks to a win over the Lions. The Seahawks earned the victory after the Lions rallied from a 10-point deficit late in the fourth quarter, extending the game with Riley Patterson’s 38-yard field goal as regulation expired. Smith threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Lockett early in the fourth and Tre Brown returned a Jared Goff interception for a score on the ensuring drive to give Seattle a 31-21 lead.

Los Angeles Chargers 24–27 Tennessee Titans

Nick Folk kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime in a sudden downpour and the Titans snapped an eight-game skid by beating the Chargers 27-24. The Titans won for the first time since 17 November last season. They had to rally from a deficit that matched the yards they had at one point early. Ryan Tannehill rebounded from the worst game of his career in the season opener by throwing for 246 yards. He put Tennessee up 24-21 with a four-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. He also ran for a touchdown. Justin Herbert threw for 305 yards and two TDs. He could only set up a tying field goal to force overtime.

Indianapolis Colts 31-20 Houston Texans

Anthony Richardson rushed for two touchdowns before leaving with a concussion and Gardner Minshew threw for 171 yards and a TD as the Colts held off the Texans. It was the first win for coach Shane Steichen, who was hired in February after spending the last two seasons as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator. The Colts led by 18 at halftime and managed only a field goal in the second half. But their dominant start was enough to snap an eight-game skid dating to last season.

Chicago Bears 17–27 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Baker Mayfield passed for 317 yards and a touchdown, adding to his strong debut with the Buccaneers with victory over the struggling Bears. With Mayfield playing turnover-free ball for the second straight week and Mike Evans catching six balls for 171 yards and a TD, the Bucs improved to 2-0 while handing the Bears a franchise-record 12th consecutive loss. Mayfield completed 26 of 34 passes without an interception. He set up Rachaad White’s one-yard TD run with a 70-yard completion to Evans in the first quarter. He finished an 89-yard drive with a 32-yard scoring pass to Evans early in the second half.

Green Bay Packers 24-25 Atlanta Falcons

Younghoe Koo booted a 25-yard field goal with 57 seconds remaining and rookie Bijan Robinson turned in another dynamic performance, rallying the Falcons to victory over Jordan Love and the Packers. Robinson rushed for 124 yards on 19 carries and hauled in four catches for another 48 yards. The Falcons improved to 2-0 for only the 11th time in franchise history. The Packers dropped to 1-1 after squandering a 24-12 lead and three more touchdown passes from Love. Atlanta’s young quarterback,
