ARLINGTON, Texas — Ezekiel Elliott ran for the go-ahead touchdown after another reprieve from his six-game suspension and the Dallas Cowboys overcame Tyreek Hill’s improbable last-play touchdown in the first half, beating the Kansas City Chiefs 28-17 on Sunday.

Elliott’s 2-yard plunge in the third quarter came after the Chiefs turned a 14-3 deficit into a 17-14 advantage, sparked by Hill’s weaving 56-yard catch with the first-half clock expired and seven Dallas defenders inside their 25 trying to prevent the score.

“You’ve got to put that play behind you and move forward,” Cowboys Coach Jason Garrett said. “Sometimes easier said than done. We felt like we gave them one.”

Elliott rushed for 93 yards, ending a streak of three straight 100-yard games but outgaining rookie Kareem Hunt, who entered the game as the league’s leading rusher.

Hunt matched a season low with nine carries, finishing with 37 yards as a club record-tying nine-game road winning streak ended for the Chiefs (6-3) in their third loss in four games.

Trailing 14-3, the Chiefs were at their 44 with 2 seconds left in the first half when Hill caught a toss from Alex Smith at the Cowboys 42 and started toward the goal line with three blockers in front.

The speedy Hill motored around Orlando Scandrick at the 25, cut behind two blocks from Demarcus Robinson inside the 10 and sidestepped overpursuing linebacker Anthony Hitchens to finish the stunning TD.

The Chiefs got the ball to start the second half and went in front on Travis Kelce’s 2-yard touchdown catch, but Dallas answered with touchdown drives of 75 and 87 yards that took more than 12 minutes combined. Dak Prescott capped the second drive with his second TD pass to Cole Beasley.

WASHINGTON 17, SEAHAWKS 14: Kirk Cousins drove his team 70 yards in 35 seconds, capped by Rob Kelley’s 1-yard touchdown run with less than a minute left, to lift Washington (4-4) to a win at Seattle (5-3).

Seattle took a 14-10 lead with 1:34 remaining when Russell Wilson found Doug Baldwin for a 30-yard touchdown pass. But starting from the Washington 30, Cousins hit Brian Quick for 31 yards and Josh Doctson for 38 on consecutive throws to get to the Seattle 1 with 1:02 left. Kelley bulled his way in on the next play.

EAGLES 51, BRONCOS 23: Carson Wentz tossed four touchdown passes, Corey Clement had three scores, and Philadelphia (8-1) routed visiting Denver (3-5).

The Eagles dismantled the league’s top-ranked defense, racking up 419 yards, to win their seventh straight game and head into a bye week with the best record in the NFL.
