Tom Brady threw for two fourth-quarter touchdowns and notched a career rushing first, leading New England to a 30-23 win over the New York Jets Sunday that kept the Patriots unbeaten this NFL season. The 48th fourth-quarter game-winning drive of Brady's storied career took the Patriots 80 yards and saw the Pats improve to 6-0. The Patriots had trailed 20-16 after the Jets opened the fourth with a field goal. But Brady, who had more than 300 passing yards for the 68th time in his career, hit wide receiver Danny Amendola for an eight-yard touchdown pass with 7:16 remaining, and got the ball back after the Jets had to punt. He sealed the win with a 15-yard touchdown pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski that put the Patriots up 30-20 with 1:13 to play, and the Jets' final field goal wasn't enough in the battle for first place in the AFC East division. Brady was the team's leading rusher for the first time in his career, with 15 yards — 11 of them on one scramble and one on a touchdown leap from the one-yard-line. The Carolina Panthers also improved to 6-0, downing the Philadelphia Eagles 27-16 to improve on their previous best start to a season of 5-0 in 2003. Mike Tolbert scored two touchdowns for the Panthers, opening the scoring with a two-yard plunge and adding a two-yard TD reception on the first possession of the second half. Three other 6-0 teams, Cincinnati, Denver and Green Bay, had the week off. Giants 27, Cowboys 20: New York had four second-half takeaways and scored two return touchdowns to beat Dallas and back-up quarterback Matt Cassel at MetLife Stadium. The Cowboys (2-4) have lost four games in a row and gave away a chance at a game-tying drive in the final minute when wide receiver Cole Beasley fumbled a punt. It was the first win for the Giants (4-3) in the NFC East rivalry in their past six meetings and featured a 100-yard kickoff return by former Cowboy Dwayne Harris for the winning margin and a 58-yard, pick-6 by cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Dallas running back Darren McFadden rushed for 152 yards on 29 carries. Falcons 10, Titans 7: Quarterback Matt Ryan passed for 251 yards and running back Devonta Freeman rushed for 116 yards, leading Atlanta to a win over Tennessee. The Falcons (6-1) rebounded from their first loss of the season against New Orleans, while Tennessee (1-5) suffered their fifth straight loss. Zach Mettenberger started at quarterback for the Titans in place of rookie Marcus Mariota, who suffered an MCL sprain in last week's loss to Miami. Mettenberger completed 22 of 35 passes for 187 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Raiders 37, Chargers 29: Oakland dominated early and held on for a 37-29 win over San Diego Chargers. Quarterback Derek Carr threw three touchdown passes as the Raiders (3-3) handed the Chargers (2-5) their third straight loss. Oakland raced to a 30-6 halftime lead as they scored on their first seven drives. Dolphins 44, Texans 26: Quarterback Ryan Tannehill tied a career high with four touchdown passes to lift Miami to victory over Houston. Two of Tannehill's touchdown passes went to wide receiver Jarvis Landry and one each went to wide receiver Rishard Matthews and running back Lamar Miller. The Dolphins improved to 3-3, including 2-0 under interim coach Dan Campbell, who replaced the fired Joe Philbin. Houston (2-5) trailed 41-0 at the half. In other results it was: Vikings 28, Lions 19; Saints 27, Colts 21; Redskins 31, Buccaneers 30; Chiefs 23, Steelers 13; Rams 24, Browns 6. — Agencies
