Detroit (dpa) – Even without the injured Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Detroit Lions clinched their fourth win of the season in the NFL and further consolidated their role as a playoff candidate. The team around quarterback Jared Goff won 42:24 against the Carolina Panthers.
St. Brown was out with an abdominal injury that has been affecting him all week. Goff recorded three touchdown passes and ran another touchdown himself. The Panthers around quarterback Bryce Young, who had to accept two touchdown passes as well as two interceptions, have five defeats after five games.
At least the worries about Panthers player Chandler Zavala became a little less. He was carted off the field in the first quarter with a neck injury and was taken to the hospital for examinations. It was later said that the professional from the attack block line could move all parts of his body.
Patriots coach with historic defeat
Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson also did not finish the game on the field. He injured his shoulder after a run in the second quarter. Without the playmaker, the Colts still managed a 23:16 win against the Tennessee Titans.
The New England Patriots lost 34-0 to the New Orleans Saints and now have four defeats in five games. With a difference of more than 30 points, Patriots coach Bill Belichick had never lost in his career.
The Miami Dolphins took advantage of the Buffalo Bills’ mistake and took the lead in the AFC East. The Dolphins won 31:16 against the New York Giants. The Bills unexpectedly lost 20:25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
