DENVER'S EVAN ENGRAM scores a touchdown in front of Philadelphia's Cooper Dejean on Sunday.

“You're not going to forget,” Denver coach Sean Payton said, “just these moments. Ultimately, that's what you do it for. Making memories.”

The Broncos (3-2) batted down Jalen Hurts’ last-gasp pass on the final play of the game to send the Super Bowl champions to just their second loss in their last 22 games.

“We just kind of had this sense that we just needed one drive. Let’s go down the field, one play at a time, let’s put a drive together,” Nix said.

Nix had a few of them in his fourth-quarter rally that helped Payton earn his 173rd win to pass his mentor Bill Parcells. Nix completed nine of 10 passes for 126 yards and threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Evan Engram in the fourth to stun an Eagles (4-1) team that totally collapsed over the final 15 minutes.

Cowboys 37, at Jets 22: Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes, leading Dallas (2-2-1) to a victory over New York (0-5). The Cowboys scored on two 90yard drives in the second quarter despite missing four starters on the offensive line.

Javonte Williams ran for 135 yards and a touchdown and also caught a touchdown pass. Aaron Glenn is the first Jets coach to begin his tenure with five losses.
