ARLINGTON, Texas >> Dak Prescott didn’t lean on his defense quite so much this time.

Still, it was quite the assist — again — from cornerback DaRon Bland.

Prescott threw two of his four touchdown passes to CeeDee Lamb, Bland recorded his NFL-leading third interception return for a score and the Dallas Cowboys beat the Los Angeles Rams 43-20 on Sunday.

Sam Williams blocked a punt for a safety before KaVontae Turpin returned the ensuing punt 63 yards to set up Lamb’s first TD grab, helping the Cowboys (5-2) to a 33-3 lead late in the first half in their 11th consecutive home victory.

The streak matches the club’s longest since an 11-game run at Texas Stadium in 1991-92, almost two decades before AT&T Stadium opened.

Saints 38, Colts 27 >> Derek Carr threw for 310 yards and two touchdowns in a bounce-back performance, Taysom Hill and Alvin Kamara scored two TDs apiece, and New Orleans beat Indianapolis.

The Saints (4-4) snapped a two-game skid with their fifth consecutive win in the series — a streak that began with their lone Super Bowl victory after the 2009 season — and moved into a share of the NFC South lead with Atlanta.

Panthers 15, Texans 13 >> Bryce Young, the No. 1 overall pick, threw for 235 yards and a touchdown. He led a winning 15-play, 86-yard drive that took more than six minutes off the clock in helping the Panthers (1-6) snap a 56-game losing streak in games they trailed at any point in fourth quarter, the longest in NFL since at least 1991.

Carolina’s last fourth-quarter comeback win was Oct. 21, 2018, against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Titans 28, Falcons 23 >> Rookie Will Levis threw for 238 yards and four touchdowns in his NFL debut, and Tennessee scored their most points since 2021 in beating Atlanta.

The Titans (3-4) capped an alumni weekend wearing Houston Oilers’ throwback uniforms down to an oil derrick logo at midfield with the old nickname in each end zone.

Levis became the seventh rookie quarterback to start this season.

Seahawks 24, Browns 20 >> Geno Smith threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 38 seconds left, and Seattle rallied for a win over Cleveland after blowing an early 14-point lead.

After struggling for long stretches against the best defense in the NFL, Smith was sensational on Seattle’s final drive. He connected on 4 of 5 passes, the last of which was a quick screen to Smith-Njigba. The rookie first-round pick used a terrific block from DK Metcalf on the perimeter to sneak down the sideline and score the second touchdown of his career.

Vikings 24, Packers 10 >> Kirk Cousins threw a pair of touchdown passes before leaving with an ankle injury in the fourth quarter and Minnesota beat slumping Green Bay.

Cousins walked gingerly to the sideline after getting sacked on consecutive plays during a series that ended with Green Bay’s Karl Brooks blocking Greg Joseph’s 44-yard field-goal attempt. Jaren Hall, a rookie fifth-round pick from BYU, took over for the rest of the game.

CHARGERS 30, BEARS 13 >> Justin Herbert passed for 298 yards and three touchdowns, including a 39-yarder to Austin Ekeler, and Los Angeles beat Chicago to stop a two-game slide.

Herbert, who had struggled with accuracy after breaking the middle finger of his left, non-throwing hand four weeks ago, completed his first 14 passes and was 31 of 40.

Jaguars 20, Steelers 10 >> Trevor Lawrence threw for 292 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Jacksonville slugged their way past Pittsburgh for their fifth straight victory.

Broncos 24, Chiefs 9 >> Russell Wilson threw three touchdown passes, Justin Simmons had two of Denver’s five takeaways and the Broncos stymied an ill Patrick Mahomes in snapping their 16-game losing streak to Kansas City with a win over the Chiefs.

Ravens 31, Cardinals 24 >> Gus Edwards ran for two of his three touchdowns following interceptions by Baltimore’s stout defense, and the Ravens beat Arizona.

Jets 13, GIants 10 >> Greg Zuerlein kicked a 35-yard field goal on the final play of regulation and added a 33-yarder with 6:09 left in overtime as the Jets staged an unlikely comeback in a defensive struggle to stun the Giants.

Dolphins 31, Patriots 17 >> Tua Tagovailoa threw for 324 yards and three touchdowns, Jalen Ramsey intercepted a pass in his Dolphins debut, and Miami beat New England.

Eagles 38, Commanders 21 >> Jalen Hurts threw for four touchdowns while gutting through a knee injury, A.J. Brown had 130 yards receiving and Philadelphia beat Washington to improve to 7-1 this season.
