NFL roundup

Derek Carr threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III with 5 seconds left and the Las Vegas Raiders beat the still-winless New York Jets 31-28 on Sunday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

The Jets took a 28-24 lead with 5:34 remaining on Ty Johnson’s 1-yard touchdown and the defense came up with a big fourth-down stop that appeared to end New York’s agonizing wait for its first win of the season.

But New York went three-and-out with a chance to seal it, and Carr and the Raiders had 35 seconds left for what appeared an unlikely comeback. Four plays later, Carr found Ruggs streaking downfield — beating rookie cornerback Lamar Jackson — and delivered the ball perfectly for the winning score.

Chiefs 22, Broncos 16: Patrick Mahomes threw for 318 yards and a touchdown, Harrison Butker was perfect on five field goals, and the Chiefs beat the Denver Broncos in Kansas City, Missouri.

Travis Kelce had eight receptions for 136 yards and the go-ahead TD grab late in the third quarter, and Tyrann Mathieu twice picked off Broncos quarterback Drew Lock — the second with 24 seconds left to seal the win — as the Chiefs clinched a playoff berth by improving to 11-1 for the second time in franchise history.

Colts 26, Texans 20: Philip Rivers threw two touchdown passes in the first half and the Indianapolis defense dominated in the second half.

Dolphins 19, Bengals 7: Tua Tagovailoa returned from a thumb injury that forced him to miss one game, throwing for a season-high 296 yards and a score in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Miami has allowed 10 points in the past two weeks.

Vikings 27, Jaguars 24, OT: Dan Bailey kicked a 23-yard field goal with 1:49 left in overtime for Minnesota in Minneapolis after he missed two extra points and a 51-yard try with 13 seconds remaining in regulation.
