All three of Sunday's late NFL games were won by a team that had to come back. Denver trailed by 11 in the third quarter, New England by 10 at halftime and the Rams by six late in the second quarter. Each game has its own Beat Chuck recap, linked below.
Denver 28, Kansas City 24. The Broncos scored touchdowns on both of their fourth-quarter drives, the second after a missed 54-yard Harrison Butker field goal. Kansas City then reached the Denver 1 in the final minute, and Malcolm Roach sacked Patrick Mahomes on fourth down to end it. Denver (6-2) moves into first place in the AFC West, and the Chiefs (5-2) have lost two straight. Full recap
New England 24, Miami 19. Drake Maye completed 16 of 20 passes and accounted for three touchdowns without A.J. Brown, Mack Hollins or TreVeyon Henderson. The Patriots scored 21 straight points in the second half, helped by a Mike Vrabel challenge that turned a Kyle Williams incompletion into a 43-yard score, and recovered an onside kick to finish it.
