Chiefs 9 at Indianapolis 19
Mike Hill scored the game’s only touchdown on an 11-yard run with 4:02 to go and the Indianapolis Colts handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season 19-9 on Sunday, leaving the NFL without any unbeaten teams.
It’s the first time since 1970 that no team has reached 4-0.
The Colts (3-2) won in atypical fashion. For the first time this season, Peyton Manning failed to top 300 yards or throw for a touchdown. He finished 26-of-44 for 244 yards with one interception and couldn’t get the Colts into the end zone until Hart’s clinching score.
Hill replaced Joseph Addai midway through the third quarter with what appeared to be a right shoulder injury. He did not return.
Jamaal Charles carried 16 times for 87 yards, and Matt Cassel was 16-of-29 for 156 yards for Kansas City (3-1) Ryan Succop kicked three field goals. The Chiefs opened the game with an onside kick, but the ball never travelled the required 10 yards. The Colts took possession and Adam Vinatieri opened the scoring with a 20-yard field goal.
Saints 20 at Cardinals 30
Max Hall’s debut as Arizona’s quarterback was a winning one as the Cardinals defence intercepted three passes by Drew Brees.

Chargers 27 at Raiders 35
Michael Bush ran three yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:39 remaining and Tyvon Branch returned a fumble 64 yards for a score as Oakland snapped a 13-game losing streak against San Diego.

Titans 34 at Cowboys 27
Chris Johnson scored a pair of 1-yard touchdowns in the fourth quarter, lifting Tennessee over mistake-prone Dallas.

Rams 6 at Lions 44
Stefan Logan’s 105-yard kickoff return broke a tie and sent the Lions to their first win of the season and ended a 10-game losing streak.
The win was the Lions’ most-lopsided since beating the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars 44-0 in 1995.
Logan’s franchise-record tying score helped the Lions (1-4) outscore St. Louis 21-3 in the second quarter, and they didn’t let up.
Broncos 17 at Ravens 31
Ray Rice ran for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and Baltimore frustrated Denver quarterback Kyle Orton.
Orton completed his fourth straight 300-yard passing game with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Lloyd with 35 seconds left. It was of little consolation to the Broncos, who hurt themselves by losing a fumble and committing 10 penalties for 90 yards.
Baltimore’s Joe Flacco completed 14 of 25 passes for 196 yards and ran for a score.
Giants 34 at Texans 10
Eli Manning threw two of his three touchdown passes to Hakeem Nicks and the Giants held Houston to a franchise-low 24 yards rushing.

Graham Gano kicked a 33-yard field goal 6:54 into overtime to lift Washington.

Washington overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit, tying the game on Gano’s 44-yard field goal with 1:07 to play. Green Bay’s Mason Crosby hit the left upright from 53 yards with 1 second left in regulation.
Bears 23 at Panthers 6
Matt Forte rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns, Julius Peppers had an acrobatic interception against his former team and Chicago overcame four interceptions by backup Todd Collins to keep Carolina winless.

Smith passed for 309 yards, but also committed three turnovers. He received thunderous boos from the Candlestick Park crowd and an apparent tongue-lashing from coach Mike Singletary before leading two fourth-quarter TD drives.
