Josh Allen's 3-yard touchdown run put Buffalo ahead 24-6 in the third quarter against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Earlier in that game, Cole Beasley became Buffalo’s second receiver in two games to complete a touchdown pass. Taking Allen’s pitch to the right, Beasley faked a run then pulled up and lobbed an easy 20-yard touchdown pass to wide-open rookie Gabriel Davis to put the Bills up 14-6.
Two weeks ago, receiver Isaiah McKenzie completed a 12-yard touchdown pass to Allen in a 32-30 loss at Arizona.

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Matthew Adams was ejected late in the first half after throwing a punch while playing on the punt coverage unit.
That left an already short-handed and frustrated defense with one fewer player against Tennessee.
Derrick Henry torched the league’s second-ranked defense in the first half, running 17 times for 140 yards and three scores as the Titans built a 35-14 lead.

Baker Mayfield has two touchdown passes — and should have had a third — in the first half against Jacksonville.
Mayfield connected with Jarvis Landy and Austin Hooper, ending a three-game drought without a passing score.
The Browns lead 17-13 at halftime.
Mayfield is 10-of-15 passing for 146 yards, taking advantage of decent weather for the first time in a month. Mayfield threw for 122, 132 and 204 yards the last few weeks while dealing with wind and rain in each game.
The Browns are enjoying perfect, late-November weather Sunday.
Mayfield, though, should have had another TD against Jacksonville, but inexplicably missed wide-open receiver Rashard Higgins in the end zone on a first-and-goal play from the 5. Cleveland settled for a short field goal.

Although Philip Rivers overcame a sore big toe on his right foot to make his 235th consecutive start, he doesn't have his usual offensive line.
Center Ryan Kelly is out with a neck injury, marking the second straight week and third time this season that the Colts didn’t have their five regulars. Then left tackle Anthony Castonzo left the game with a knee injury in the first half and was listed as questionable. Le’Raven Clark replaced Castonzo early in the second quarter.
With the top spot in the AFC South on the line, Indianapolis and Tennessee are tied at 14 in the second quarter. Rivers has thrown for 113 yards and a touchdown.

Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Damon Arnette is questionable to return against the Atlanta Falcons after a possible concussion on the first play of the game.
Arnette was injured in a collision with teammate Cory Littleton while tackling Falcons running back Brian Hill. Arnette was taken to the trainer’s tent before returning to the sideline and eventually being escorted to the locker room.
Atlanta has kicked a couple field goals to take a 6-0 lead.

The Cincinnati Bengals and New York Giants quickly traded touchdowns in the first quarter.
After New York’s Wayne Gallman Jr. plunged in for a 1-yard TD on fourth-and-goal on the opening drive, Brandon Wilson fielded the kickoff in the end zone, found a seam up the middle and outraced the Giants for a 103-yard scoring return.
That tied the score at 7. It was Wilson’s second career kickoff return for a touchdown and the longest play in Bengals history.
The Giants (3-7) can move into first place in the woeful NFC East with a victory, although Philadelphia (3-6-1) plays Monday night.
