New England delivered one of Sunday’s biggest results, beating Buffalo 29–26 behind three touchdown passes from Drake Maye. Dallas supplied another late comeback, with Dak Prescott finding CeeDee Lamb for the winning touchdown in a 34–30 victory at Houston.
The late-afternoon games added a narrow Kansas City win and kept San Francisco and Minnesota unbeaten. But the results were only part of the story: Philadelphia, Baltimore and Cincinnati each lost a central offensive player during the day.
The completed board below covers Thursday’s opener and Sunday’s London, early-window and late-afternoon finals. It is a fixed roundup of those results, not a live scoreboard or a claim that every Week 4 game has finished.
Maye and Lamb deliver in the closing minutes
Maye finished with 269 passing yards and three touchdowns as the Patriots handed Buffalo its first loss. Efton Chism III’s one-handed touchdown catch put New England ahead late, and a two-point conversion extended the lead to 29–26. The Patriots intercepted Josh Allen on the ensuing possession and then ran out the clock.
Dallas needed an 11-play, 74-yard drive to answer Houston’s late go-ahead score. Prescott capped it with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Lamb with 40 seconds remaining. Lamb finished with 17 receptions for 189 yards, while Javonte Williams scored three rushing touchdowns, all after halftime.
Houston’s final desperation throw fell incomplete. The Cowboys and Patriots both moved to 2–2; the Texans remained winless at 0–4, and Buffalo dropped to 3–1.

Chiefs, 49ers and Vikings keep their unbeaten starts
Kansas City’s fourth-quarter offense separated it from Las Vegas in a game between teams that entered 3–0. Kenneth Walker III finished with 177 rushing yards and two touchdowns, and Tyquan Thornton added 111 receiving yards and two scores. The Chiefs advanced to 4–0; the Raiders took their first loss.
San Francisco and Minnesota reached the same record in different ways. Purdy’s two touchdown passes helped the 49ers pull away from Denver, while the Vikings held Miami to 10 points in a lower-scoring game. The Dolphins’ offense could not produce enough to end the team’s winless start.

Injury watch: Barkley, Jackson, Chase and the Chargers
Philadelphia Eagles — Saquon Barkley was ruled out in the first half with a hamstring injury, according to NFL.com. Philadelphia later surrendered two fourth-quarter touchdowns to Williams in its loss to the Rams. Barkley’s status becomes a key part of the Eagles’ next round of practice and injury updates.
Baltimore Ravens — Lamar Jackson injured his ankle late in the first half and did not return. Tyler Huntley took over after halftime with Baltimore leading 24–7. Head coach Jesse Minter said after the game that he did not yet know enough about the injury to provide a fuller assessment; a specific recovery timetable was not established in that update.
Cincinnati Bengals — Ja’Marr Chase was ruled out after suffering a concussion on a first-half hit, NFL.com reported. His availability will depend on his progress through the concussion protocol, rather than a presumed return date.
Los Angeles Chargers — NFL.com reported that offensive tackle Joe Alt was ruled out with a neck injury and receiver Ladd McConkey with a foot injury against Seattle. Those losses add to the questions facing a Chargers offense whose team is still searching for its first win.

The results are final; the availability picture is not
Sunday left several clear results: Buffalo and Las Vegas lost their unbeaten records, New England and Dallas returned to .500, and Kansas City, San Francisco and Minnesota stayed perfect. The next set of roster decisions will depend on medical evaluations and team injury reports.
For fans tracking depth charts or fantasy lineups, Barkley, Jackson and Chase warrant attention as practice resumes. Their game-day exits are confirmed; assumptions about how long they will be absent are not substitutes for the next official updates.
