Bears beat

Vikings 19-17

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Devin Duvernay’s 56-yard kickoff return in the final minute for Chicago set up Cairo Santos for his fourth field goal of the game, a 48-yarder as time expired, to push the Bears past Minnesota 19-17 after the Vikings scored the go-ahead touchdown with 50 seconds left.

After J.J. McCarthy ended another erratic performance with five straight completions culminating in a 15-yard scoring strike to Jordan Addison, Duvernay delivered. The Bears improved to 7-3 under new coach Ben Johnson after blowing a 13-point lead they took into the fourth quarter.

The Vikings fell to 4-6 after two more interceptions by McCarthy.

Broncos extend

winning streak

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos have extended their winning streak to eight games with a 22-19 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Wil Lutz kicked a 35-yard field goal as time expired for Denver. It was his fifth field goal of the game.

The Broncos improved to 9-2 and all but buried the Chiefs in the AFC West, which Kansas City has won ever year since 2016. Chiefs coach Andy Reid fell to 27-5 following a bye week, counting the playoffs and his time with Philadelphia. Kansas City is now 5-5.

Bo Nix set up the game-winning kick with a 32-yard pass to Troy Franklin that got Denver to the Kansas City 15 with under a minute remaining.

Allen, Bills

defeat Bucs

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Allen has become the first NFL player to have two games with three touchdowns passing and three rushing. He did it Sunday to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 44-32 win over Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Allen’s last TD was a rugged 9-yard run with 2:35 left that put the game away. The Bills benched struggling receiver Keon Coleman in a bid to spark their passing game, and each of Allen’s three touchdown passes went for 25 yards or more. He finished 19 of 30 for 317 yards, and the Bills overcame his two first-half interceptions. The game featured nine lead changes.

Brock Purdy

throws 3 TDs

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes in his return from a toe injury, Christian McCaffrey had two rushing touchdowns and a receiving score, and the San Francisco 49ers beat the sloppy Arizona Cardinals 41-22.

McCaffrey extended his NFL record with his 17th career game with at least one running touchdown and a touchdown catch. Purdy completed 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards. Tight end George Kittle caught two touchdown passes. Arizona lost for the sixth time in seven games.

The Cardinals were called for a franchise record 17 penalties, which was also the most for any team in the NFL this season.
