Sunday’s NFL capsules

Chiefs 17, Cowboys 16

Alex Smith threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and Kansas City’s defense held when it needed to in the fourth quarter for a victory over visiting Dallas on Sunday. Jamaal Charles ran for 55 yards and caught a touchdown pass for the Chiefs, who made new coach Andy Reid a winner in his home debut. The Chiefs also matched their victory total from all of last season by starting 2-0 for just the second time since 2005. Dwayne Bowe’s touchdown catch in the third quarter and Ryan Succop’s 40-yard field goal early in the fourth gave the Chiefs a 17-13 lead.

Texans 30, Titans 24

Rookie DeAndre Hopkins grabbed a 3-yard touchdown pass in overtime and Houston rallied for a win over visiting Tennessee. With Andre Johnson out after being shaken up in the fourth quarter, Hopkins reached above Jason McCourty and pulled in the pass from Matt Schaub to give Houston the victory. The Texans needed a franchise-record 21-point comeback to win their opener at San Diego 31-28. On Sunday, they charged back from an eight-point, fourth-quarter deficit against the Titans. Randy Bullock missed three field-goal attempts for the Texans.

Bears 31, Vikings 30

Jay Cutler threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett with 10 seconds left to lead Chicago to a victory over visiting Minnesota.

Cutler, who led the Bears back from an 11-point deficit in a season-opening win over Cincinnati, struck again. Chicago remained unbeaten under new coach Marc Trestman despite committing four turnovers.

Ravens 14, Browns 6

Baltimore sacked Brandon Weeden five times before finally knocking him out of the game in the fourth quarter of a victory over visiting Cleveland. After yielding 49 points in a season-opening loss at Denver, the Ravens defense came up with a redemptive performance against the Browns. Cleveland failed to score in the second half and managed only 85 yards over the final 30 minutes. Weeden left with a thumb injury with just over three minutes left. Ravens running back Ray Rice left early in the fourth quarter with an apparent hip injury.

Saints 16, Buccaneers 14

Garrett Hartley kicked a 27-yard field goal as time expired to give New Orleans a weather-delayed victory over Tampa Bay in Tampa, Fla. Drew Brees shrugged off throwing an interception that was returned for a touchdown to give the Bucs the lead to complete three straight passes for 54 yards to lead the Saints into position to win. He finished 26 of 46 for 322 yards, but was sacked four times and intercepted twice. The game was delayed 69 minutes by lightning in the first quarter. The Bucs lost on a field goal in the closing seconds for the second straight week.
