Pats do remake of Escape From New York

UNDATED (AP) — The New York Giants almost did it to the New England Patriots once again. Tom Brady and Stephen Gostkowski wouldn't let them.

The Pats remain one of the NFL's three unbeaten teams after Gostkowski drilled a 54-yard field goal with one second left to give New England a 27-26 win over the Giants at the Meadowlands. Brady was almost intercepted on the first play of the winning drive before keeping possession with a fourth-and-10 pass three plays later.

The final drive came after Josh Brown hit a 29-yard field goal to put the Giants ahead 26-24 with 1:47 remaining.

The 9-0 Patriots fell behind by 10 in the third quarter, their largest deficit of the season. Brady hooked up with Rob Gronkowski for a 76-yard touchdown with 11:33 remaining to give the Pats their first lead since the opening quarter, but Brown's kick put the Giants in position to beat the Patriots for the fourth straight time, including a pair of Super Bowl wins.

Brady was 26 of 42 for 334 yards, two TDs and an interception for New England, which played most of the game without Justin Edelman because of an ankle injury.

The Giants dropped to 5-5 despite Eli Manning, who was 24 of 44 for 361 yards, two scores and no interceptions. Manning had 251 passing yards in the first half alone, including an 87-yard scoring grab by Odell Beckham Jr.

Meanwhile, Peyton Manning set an all-time record in what was one of the worst games of his career. Manning broke Brett Favre's record for passing yards, but he was just 5 of 20 for 35 yards and four interceptions before he was benched in the third quarter of Denver's 29-13 loss to Kansas City.

Alex Smith hit Charcandrick West for an 80-yard catch-and-run to put the Chiefs ahead 29-0 with 11:10 remaining. West scored both Kansas City touchdowns and had 69 yards on 24 carries.

The Chiefs allowed just 223 total yards and improved to 4-5. The AFC West-leading Broncos fell to 7-2.

Elsewhere in Week 10 of the NFL schedule:

— Cam Newton connected on his first 11 passes and finished with a touchdown pass and TD run as Carolina beat Tennessee 27-10 to remain the NFC's only unbeaten team. He was 21 of 26 for 217 yards as the 9-0 Panthers extended their winning streak to a league-best 13 games. Newton's two-yard scoring run with 2:42 remaining sealed the outcome and sent the 2-7 Titans to their 10th consecutive home loss.

— The Vikings have moved a game ahead of Green Bay for the NFC North lead at 7-2 with an outstanding performance by Adrian Peterson in a 30-14 dismantling of Oakland.

Teddy Bridgewater threw for a TD and Cordarrelle Patterson returned a kick 93 yards for a score in the Vikings' fifth straight win. Derek Carr tossed two touchdown passes for the 4-5 Raiders, but he was intercepted twice.

— The Packers lost their third straight since a 6-0 start as Mason Crosby missed badly on a 52-yard field goal as time expired in an 18-16 loss to visiting Detroit. Matthew Stafford threw for two touchdowns and the 2-7 Lions won in Green Bay for the first time since 1990. Aaron Rodgers tossed a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to get the Packers within two points, but they failed on a two-point conversion with 32 seconds left. Crosby shanked his field goal attempt after Green Bay recovered an onside kick.

— Arizona is three games clear of their NFC West rivals following a wild 39-32 win at Seattle. Carson Palmer threw for 363 yards and three touchdowns for the Cardinals, who blew a 22-7 halftime lead and trailed 29-25 until Palmer hit Jermaine Gresham for a 14-yard TD with 8:41 remaining. Michael Floyd had a pair of scoring receptions and Andre Ellington added a 48-yard touchdown run with 1:58 left for the 7-2 Cardinals. Russell Wilson threw for 240 yards and a TD and carried six times for 52 yards before Seattle dropped to 4-5.

Matt Jones had three receptions for 131 yards, including a 78-yard TD grab. Alfred Morris carried 15 times for 92 yards in Washington's most lopsided victory since a 35-point win over San Francisco in October 2005. Washington is 4-5 after handing the 4-6 Saints their second straight loss since a three-game winning streak.

— Ben Roethslisberger made an unexpected return and completed 22 of 33 passes for 379 yards and three touchdowns in Pittsburgh's 30-9 win over Cleveland. He was supposed to sit out because of a sprained left foot, but a first-quarter injury to Landry Jones put Roethlisberger on the field. Roethlisberger threw a pair of TD passes in the final 3 ½ minutes of the first half and clinched the victory with a 56-yard scoring strike to Antonio Brown with 9:07 remaining. The 6-4 Steelers dropped the Browns to 2-8 and recorded six sacks on Johnny Manziel, who passed for a career-high 372 yards, one touchdown and an interception.

— The Cowboys have their first seven-game losing streak since 1989 after Jameis Winston scored on a one-yard keeper with 54 seconds remaining to give Tampa Bay a 10-6 win over Dallas. The 2-7 Cowboys reached the Buccaneers 44 following the ensuing kickoff, but a pass from Matt Cassel was intercepted in the end zone. Winston was 22 of 39 for 264 yards and two interceptions for the 4-5 Bucs.

— The Bears and Rams are 4-5 after Zach Miller and Jeremy Langford each scored two touchdowns in Chicago's 37-13 pounding of St. Louis. Miller's 87-yard TD reception was the Bears' longest play since 2020. Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler was effective all afternoon, completing 19 of his 24 passes for 258 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.

— The Jaguars had lost 13 straight road games until Jason Myers drilled a 53-yard field goal after time expired to give Jacksonville a 22-20 triumph at Baltimore. The Ravens thought they had just completed a 20-19 victory until Elvis Dumervil was called for a facemask on Blake Bortles as the clock ran out, giving the Jags one extra play. Bortles went 22 for 45 for 188 yards and two touchdowns for the 3-6 Jaguars, whose previous road victory came in Cleveland 23 months ago. Joe Flacco went 34 for 45 for 316 yards and three touchdowns for the 2-7 Ravens, who have suffered their seven losses by a combined 32 points.

— Miami snapped a two-game losing streak as Ryan Tannehill tossed a pair of TD passes in the second half of a 20-19 triumph over Philadelphia. The 4-5 Dolphins hung on after Tannehill's four-yard scoring strike to Jarvis Landry put them ahead 20-16 with 14:55 left. The 4-5 Eagles finished the game without Sam Bradford because of an injured left shoulder and a concussion.

NFL-CARDINALS-IUPATI

SEATTLE (AP) — Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Mike Iupati was taken off the field in an ambulance during Sunday's game at Seattle.

The Cardinals said Iupati suffered a neck injury but had feeling and movement in his extremities when he left the stadium. The team later said a CT scan and MRI at the hospital both came back normal.
