NFL roundup: Ravens defeat 49ers for franchise record eighth consecutive win
LA TimesBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson runs for a first down during the first half of a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. A 33-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to Deebo Samuel concluded San Francisco’s first drive and made the 49ers the first team to score in the first quarter against Baltimore since the Bengals on Oct. 13. Houston Texans 28, New England Patriots 22 Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson scores a touchdown in front of New England Patriots linebacker Elandon Roberts during the fourth quarter Sunday. Watson had 234 yards passing and threw touchdown passes of 14, 13, and 35 yards as Houston built a 21-3 lead against New England’s vaunted defense. DeVante Parker made two acrobatic touchdown receptions and kicker Jason Sanders also had a circus-like scoring catch to help the Dolphins rally past the slumping Eagles in Miami Gardens, Fla. Miami overcame a 14-point deficit in the second half with three touchdowns in less than 13 minutes — a remarkable achievement for one of the NFL’s lowest-scoring teams.
