NFL recap: Willis gets revenge on Titans while Darnold shines again for Vikings | NFL

Green Bay Packers – Tennessee Titans 30:14

Malik Willis ran for a touchdown and threw for a score, his best performance in the NFL, to lead the Green Bay Packers (2-1) to a victory over the Tennessee Titans. Willis won his second consecutive start as Jordan Love's backup. He also got some sweet revenge on the team that traded him to Green Bay in August. Willis accounted for 134 of the Packers' 137 yards in the first quarter. He finished the game with 202 yards passing and 73 rushing. The Titans fell to 0-3 under new coach Brian Callahan, their worst start since losing their first six games of 2009.

Houston Texans – Minnesota Vikings 7:34

Sam Darnold matched his career-high with four touchdown passes and the undefeated Minnesota Vikings put together another dominant performance on defense, crushing CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans. Jonathan Greenard had three of Stroud's four sacks as the Vikings intercepted the 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year twice. Darnold connected with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones for scores in the first quarter and scored a touchdown to Jalen Nailor for the third straight game in the second half. He also provided a touchdown to tight end Johnny Mundt. The Vikings are 3-0. The Texans are 2-1.

New York Giants – Cleveland Browns 21-15

Daniel Jones threw two touchdown passes to rookie Malik Nabers, New York's defensive linemen took turns sacking Deshaun Watson and the Giants held the Cleveland Browns at bay. Jones completed 24 of 34 passes for 236 yards as the Giants (1-2) shook off a loss at Washington that drew a week of criticism for coach Brian Daboll. The Browns (1-2) rallied in the fourth quarter after dominating three quarters and missing three offensive players with injuries. But Cleveland failed to take the lead on three occasions. Running back Jerome Ford fumbled and the Giants stopped the Browns twice on fourth down in the final four minutes.

Chicago Bears-Indianapolis Colts 16-21

Jonathan Taylor ran for 110 yards and scored two touchdowns, Trey Sermon added a rushing TD and Jaylon Jones grabbed two interceptions to lead the Indianapolis Colts to victory over the Chicago Bears.

Indianapolis (1-2) overcame two Anthony Richardson interceptions and thrived with its running game while rebuilding its previously questionable run defense. The Colts had 151 rushing yards compared to 63 yards for the Bears (1-2).

Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick in April's draft, completed 33 of 52 passes for a career-high 363 yards and his first two touchdowns, along with two interceptions. Williams also lost a fumble on a strip sack that set up Taylor's one-yard touchdown run with 5:22 left to give the Colts a 21-9 lead.

Philadelphia Eagles – New Orleans Saints 15-12

Saquon Barkley ran for touchdowns of 65 and 4 yards in the fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) recovered from an annoying collapse at the end of the last game to beat the New Orleans Saints (2-1). Barkley's shorter run came with 1:01 left, one play after Dallas Goedert's 61-yard catch that gave him a career-high 170 yards on 10 catches. Eagles safety Reed Blankenship sealed the victory when he intercepted a pass from Derek Carr with 48 seconds left, capping a stellar performance by Philadelphia's defense against an offense that had scored an NFL-record 91 points in the first two weeks of the regular season under new coordinator Klint Kubiak. The Saints' lone touchdown came on a 12-yard catch by Chris Olaves.

Los Angeles Chargers – Pittsburgh Steelers 10-20

Justin Fields threw a touchdown and ran for another, and the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled away late to beat the Los Angeles Chargers. Pittsburgh improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2020 thanks to another efficient performance from Fields. The quarterback completed 25 of 32 passes for 245 yards, including a game-tying 55-yard touchdown pass to Calvin Austin III midway through the fourth quarter. Fields also added a five-yard touchdown run and is quietly making a compelling case that he should be the starter even after Russell Wilson's calf injury heals. The Chargers (2-1) lost starting quarterback Justin Herbert in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Denver Broncos – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-7

In his first NFL win, Bo Nix completed 25 of 36 passes for 216 yards and ran for 47 yards and a touchdown to lead the Denver Broncos to victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tyler Badie ran for 70 yards and Courtland Sutton caught seven passes for 68 yards as the Broncos (1-2) held Tampa Bay scoreless in the second half. Wil Lutz converted all four of his field goal attempts for Denver. Baker Mayfield completed 25 of 33 passes for 163 yards and threw a touchdown and an interception. Bucky Irving led Tampa Bay (2-1) with 70 rushing yards, while Chris Godwin caught six balls for 53 yards and a touchdown.
