BALTIMORE — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns, four of which came during a spectacular fourth quarter, and the Miami Dolphins rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens 42-38 on Sunday.

Tagovailoa’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle with 14 seconds left completed the incredible comeback after Miami (2-0) trailed 35-14 with under 13 minutes remaining.

Tyreek Hill had touchdown catches of 48 and 60 yards during that rally, the latter of which tied the game with 5:19 to play.

Justin Tucker kicked a 51-yard field goal with 2:18 remaining to put Baltimore ahead, but that was far too much time for Miami’s offense, which the Ravens (1-1) didn’t come close to stopping in the final quarter.

The Dolphins overcame a spectacular performance by Jackson, who threw three first-half touchdown passes and then gave Baltimore its 21-point lead with a 79-yard TD run in the third. Jackson passed for 318 yards and three touchdowns.

Tagovailoa was intercepted twice in the first half, but he more than made up for that. Waddle had 11 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns, and Hill had 11 for 190 yards and his two TDs.

Baltimore’s Devin Duvernay returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and the Ravens never trailed until the final seconds.

BUCCANEERS 20, SAINTS 10: Tom Brady helped incite a skirmish that led to the ejections of Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore and Buccaneers receiver Mike Evans, then threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Breshad Perriman that helped lift Tampa Bay (2-0) to a victory at New Orleans (1-1).

Brady, who had lost four straight regular-season meetings with the Saints, again struggled for the first three quarters of a testy encounter between NFC South rivals.

After a third-down incomplete pass early in the fourth quarter, Brady was shouting at Lattimore when running back Leonard Fournette entered the fray and shoved the Saints’ star cornerback. Lattimore responded by shoving Fournette, and Evans rushed in and flattened Lattimore.

On Tampa Bay’s next series, Brady hit Perriman in the back right corner of the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown that made it 10-3.

COWBOYS 20, BENGALS 17: Brett Maher kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired, and Dallas (1-1) beat visiting Cincinnati (0-2) despite losing a two-touchdown halftime lead.

Joe Burrow got the Bengals even at 17-17 by leading a 19-play, 89-yard drive in the fourth quarter, throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins and finding Tyler Boyd for the 2-point conversion.

PACKERS 27, BEARS 10: Aaron Jones rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown and caught a scoring pass from Aaron Rodgers, who continued his domination of visiting Chicago (1-1-)

Green Bay (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening 23-7 loss at Minnesota and beat the Bears for a seventh straight time, matching its second-longest winning streak in the 205-game history of the NFL’s oldest rivalry. The Packers won 10 straight over the Bears from 1994-98.

GIANTS 19, PANTHERS 16: Graham Gano kicked a 56-yard field goal with 3:34 to play, lifting the Giants to their first 2-0 start since 2016 and sending the visiting Panthers to their ninth straight loss.

Gano also hit from 52, 36 and 33 yards, and Daniel Jones found rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger for a 16-yard touchdown pass as the Giants responded in the second half after being booed off the field at halftime of a 6-6 game.

JETS 31, BROWNS 30: Joe Flacco’s 15-yard touchdown pass to rookie Garrett Wilson with 22 seconds left rallied the Jets (1-1) to a win at Cleveland (1-1), who blew a 13-point lead in the final two minutes.

Nick Chubb’s third rushing TD put Cleveland up 30-17 with 1:55 left. However, rookie kicker Cade York pushed his extra point to the right.

Flacco hit Corey Davis for a 66-yard TD with 1:22 remaining, and New York recovered the onside kick. Flacco, who’s filling in while starter Zach Wilson recovers from a knee injury, eventually connected with Wilson for his fourth touchdown pass of the game, and Greg Zuerlein made the deciding extra point.

JAGUARS 24, COLTS 0: Trevor Lawrence threw two touchdown passes to Christian Kirk, and Jacksonville (1-1) dominated short-handed Indianapolis (0-1-1) for its eighth consecutive home victory in the series.

The Jaguars sacked Matt Ryan five times, intercepted three of his passes, held reigning NFL rushing champion Jonathan Taylor to 54 yards and notched their eighth shutout in franchise history. The past three have come against Indianapolis, which hasn’t won in Jacksonville since 2014.

Lawrence completed 25 of 30 passes for 235 yards, with TD passes of 5 and 10 yards to Kirk. Kirk finished with six catches for 78 yards.

LIONS 36, COMMANDERS 27: Jared Goff threw two of his four touchdown passes to Amon-Ra St. Brown, lifting Detroit (1-1) to a win at home against Washington (1-1).

Aidan Hutchinson had three sacks in the first half to help the Lions lead 22-0 at halftime, and Will Harris had an interception in the second half.

CARDINALS 29, RAIDERS 23: Byron Murphy Jr. scooped up Hunter Renfrow’s fumble and returned it 59 yards for a touchdown with 3:51 left in overtime, and Arizona (1-1) rallied from a 20-point deficit in the second half at Las Vegas (0-2).

Kyler Murray scrambled for a 3-yard touchdown on the final snap of regulation before hitting A.J. Green for the tying 2-point conversion.

BRONCOS 16, TEXANS 9: Russell Wilson overcame a slow start and a cascade of boos in his home debut for Denver (1-1), leading the bungling Broncos past Houston (0-1-1).

The Broncos were flagged 13 times for 100 yards, marking the first time in four years they’ve had back-to-back games with double-digit penalties.

But they pulled it out on defense, holding Houston to a trio of field goals by Ka’imi Fairbairn.

RAMS 31, FALCONS 27: Matthew Stafford threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, Jalen Ramsey intercepted a potential go-ahead touchdown pass in the end zone and Los Angeles (1-1) held off a second-half rally by visiting Atlanta (0-2).

Atlanta, which has started 0-2 for the third straight year, trailed 28-3 early in the third quarter before mounting a comeback.
