Bombay Durpun - Browns edge Ravens for division lead, Texans beat Jags

Szmyt, who missed from 48 yards minutes before, delivered a kick that left both clubs 4-2 but the Browns atop the division on tie-breakers.

The Ravens, without injured star quarterback Lamar Jackson, played for the first time against Browns coach Todd Monken, who served as Baltimore's offensive coordinator the past three seasons.

Tyler Huntley flipped a two-yard touchdown pass to Josh Cuevas on the game's opening drive and Tyler Loop added a 34-yard field goal to give Baltimore a 10-0 halftime lead.

The Browns, missing top rusher Quinshon Judkins with an ankle injury, answered on a 48-yard Szmyt field goal and Audric Estime's two-yard touchdown run to equalize with 8:33 remaining.

At London, Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 49-yard field goal on the last play to give the Houston Texans a 34-31 victory over Jacksonville.

C.J. Stroud completed 24-of-34 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns as Houston improved to 2-4 while dropping the Jaguars to 4-2.

"We played well as an offense and came out with the W so we'll be happy on the way back home," said Stroud. "I just felt good. I feel in rhythm and I'm having fun. It was really a team effort."

Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence threw for 306 yards and four touchdowns in a losing cause.

Jaguars two-way star Travis Hunter made an interception and three tackles plus four catches for 59 yards and a touchdown -- the first player since 2002 with a pickoff and touchdown grab in one game.

At Tampa Bay, Aaron Rodgers flipped a six-yard touchdown pass to Germie Bernard in overtime to give Pittsburgh a 26-19 victory over the Buccaneers.

Rodgers threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns as the Steelers matched division-leader Cleveland and the Ravens at 4-2.
