Sunday’s NFL summaries
Jets 27, Dolphins 14
Chris Ivory ran for a career-high 166 yards and a touchdown, and Ryan Fitzpatrick threw for 218 and another score Sunday to lead New York over Miami at Wembley Stadium in London. Ivory ran in from 3 yards on New York’s first possession in the 12th regular-season NFL game played in London, but the first to feature division rivals. Fitzpatrick finished 16 of 29, including a 58-yard completion to Brandon Marshall on the team’s first play from scrimmage. The Dolphins got their first score in the second quarter when Ryan Tannehill completed an 8-yard pass to Jake Stoneburner after a pair of pass interference calls gave Miami 58 yards on back-to-back penalties.

Panthers 37, Bucs 23
Cam Newton threw for two touchdowns and Josh Norman returned one of Carolina’s four interceptions of Jameis Winston for his second TD of the season as the Panthers remained unbeaten by beating Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. Newton tossed scoring passes of 6 and 12 yards to Ted Ginn Jr. A week after making a game-saving interception in the end zone against New Orleans, Norman scored on a 46-yard runback and later returned another pick 34 yards to set up a second TD. Tight end Ed Dickson rumbled 57 yards after recovering a fumble to score in the third quarter. The Panthers improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2003, when they began with five straight victories. The Bucs have lost five straight in the NFC South rivalry and have dropped 11 consecutive home games.

Redskins 23, Eagles 20
Kirk Cousins threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Pierre Garcon with 26 seconds left to give Washington a victory over Philadelphia in Landover, Maryland. Starting at their own 10 with a little more than six minutes remaining, the Redskins drove 90 yards on 15 plays to take the lead for good in a back-and-forth game. Cousins finished 31 for 46 for 290 yards, the one TD – and, most importantly, no turnovers. Sam Bradford threw three second-half touchdown passes for the Eagles, but their new kicker, Caleb Sturgis, missed an extra-point attempt and a 33-yard field-goal try.

Brandon McManus kicked a 39-yard field goal with 1:51 left and Denver had seven sacks in a win over visiting Minnesota. Von Miller smothered the loose ball after T.J. Ward’s sack-strip of Teddy Bridgewater in the closing seconds, sealing the win for the unbeaten Broncos, who got a 72-yard touchdown run from Ronnie Hillman. Peyton Manning has led his teams to a 4-0 start seven times, most in NFL history by a long shot.

Rams 24, Cardinals 22
Todd Gurley rushed for all but two of his 146 yards in the second half and visiting St. Louis held on to hand Arizona its first loss of the season, in Glendale, Arizona. Gurley, the Rams’ first-round draft pick, saw his most extensive action as a pro and his 52-yard run set up what proved to be the winning touchdown. Nick Foles threw for three touchdowns, two after Arizona turnovers, and St. Louis’ defense held the Cardinals to field goals on four of five trips inside the red zone.

Saints 26, Cowboys 20, OT
Drew Brees hit C.J. Spiller with a short pass that the running back turned into an 80-yard touchdown – the 400th of the Saints quarterback’s career – on the second play of overtime, and host New Orleans won for the first time this season, defeating injury- decimated Dallas. Brees, who missed New Orleans’ previous game because of a bruised rotator cuff in his right (throwing) shoulder, completed 32 of 39 throws for 279 yards.
