Patrick Mahomes threw for 298 yards and a pair of touchdowns as the Super Bowl champions levelled by half-time and moved away after the break.

Isiah Pacheco also ran for a pair of touchdowns as the Chiefs moved to 8-3.

Elsewhere, the Jacksonville Jaguars held off the Houston Texans to win 24-21 and maintain their grip on the AFC South.

Brandon McManus' 53-yard field goal for the Jaguars with just over 11 minutes remaining looked to have made sure of victory at the NRG Stadium.

The Texans, though, set up a tense finish after a touchdown for Nico Collins, but a late long-range field goal attempt from Matt Ammendola fell short as divisional leaders Jacksonville improved to 8-3 this season.

Jalen Hurts ran for a touchdown in overtime as the Philadelphia Eagles moved to 10-1 with a 37-34 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Jake Elliott's 59-yard field goal for the Eagles with 20 seconds on the clock took the game into overtime and after the Bills added a field goal of their own, Hurts struck from 12 yards.

The Eagles quarterback threw for three touchdowns as well as running for two more as the Eagles came from 17-7 down at half-time.

Their unlikely pursuers in the AFC West are the Denver Broncos, who moved to 6-5 with a 29-12 win over the Cleveland Browns – their fifth straight victory.

Russell Wilson ran for one touchdown and threw for another, but it was the Broncos defence which proved the difference.

They sacked back-up Browns quarterback PJ Walker four times, once in the end zone for a safety, after rookie starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson was forced out of the game with a head injury.

The Atlanta Falcons moved into a tie for first place in the NFC South alongside New Orleans with a 24-15 win over the Saints.

The Falcons ended a three-game losing streak with rookie Bijan Robinson running for 91 yards and a crucial touchdown in the fourth quarter as Desmond Ridder overcame two interceptions.

Victory at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium moves the Falcons on to a 5-6 record in a tie with the Saints, who have now lost back-to-back games.

Indianapolis Colts running-back Jonathan Taylor scored two touchdowns in a 27-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Tampa Bay had fought back to cut the deficit to 20-17 in the fourth quarter, but a one-yard rush from Taylor and Chase McLaughlin's late field goal proved decisive.

The Bucs slumped to a sixth loss in their past seven games but still have a remote divisional chance in a poor NFC South.

Kenny Pickett threw a season-high 278 yards to help the Pittsburgh Steelers edge out the Cincinnati Bengals 16-10 at Paycor Stadium.

Derrick Henry rushed for two touchdowns as the Tennessee Titans defeated the Carolina Panthers 17-10 in Nashville.

Quarterback Will Levis completed 18 of 28 passes, totalling for 185 yards, as the Titans ended a three-match losing streak, which all came on the road.

The Panthers, meanwhile, slipped to a 10th defeat, with the worst record in the NFL.

A late field goal from Randy Bullock helped the New York Giants edge out the New England Patriots 10-7 in East Rutherford to win back-to-back games for the first time this season.

The Patriots had a chance to level things up late on but Chad Ryland's 35-yard field goal dropped just wide with only three seconds left.

Tyler Higbee and Kyren Williams both caught a pair of touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford as the Los Angeles Rams eased to a 37-14 win over NFC West rivals Arizona Cardinals.

Zay Flowers caught one touchdown pass and ran for another as the Baltimore Ravens beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-10.

The Chargers pulled within three points in the final quarter when Justin Herbert found Gerald Everett from three yards, but Flowers' 37-yard run late lifted the Ravens to 9-3 on top of the AFC North.
