The Jacksonville Jaguars upset the Buffalo Bills 9-6 at TIAA Bank Field on Sunday, claiming their second win of the season.

Histories were witnessed in this low-score game when Jaguars' outside linebacker Josh Allen sacked Bills' quarterback (QB) Josh Allen in the second quarter. That's the first time for a player to sack a quarterback who shares the defender's name since the NFL; began to count sacks in 1982.

Then in the second half, Jaguars' Allen intercepted a pass by Bills Allen, which has never happened before in league history. The two Allens were both selected with the seventh-overall pick in the draft – Bills' in 2018 and Jaguars' in 2019.

This was the fourth time in NFL history for a defender to face a quarterback who shared the same name.

The Jaguars put an end to their awkward 25-game-streak of allowing at least 21 points. Bills Allen went 31-47 to pass for 264 yards but had to touchdown (TD) with two interceptions and was sacked four times.

"Credit to them. They came out, they wanted it more," Allen said. "We had a lot of little things add up to big things. I put the ball in danger too often. Hit us in the butt."

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was even worse throwing 15-26 for only 118 yards before he sprained his ankle and replaced by C.J. Beathard.

Since QB of neither side was able to contribute offensively like they usually did, the kickers became the key to victory. Jaguars Matthew Wright was 3-4 in field goals, including making a 55-yard shot to help his team win.

Adrian Peterson gets 119th rushing TD while Titans beat Rams

The Tennessee Titans defeated the Los Angeles Rams 28-16 at SoFi Stadium on Sunday as 36-year-old running back Adrian Peterson achieved the 119th rushing TD (125th in total) of his career.

"It's a blessing. Here I am in a situation to continue to pass and approach guys that inspired me to be great and be the best that I can be," the veteran said after the game, He is currently fourth on the all-time list and only four TDs away from Marcus Allen.

The Titans were on the road and missed their lethal offensive weapon Derrick Henry who underwent foot surgery on Tuesday. But they gave the Rams a head-on blow right from the beginning. First they sacked Matthew Stafford twice to end the Rams' first drive. After Matt Gay scored a field goal for the Rams, the Titans intercepted Stafford's pass twice. The first one was brought to five yards before the end zone by David Long Jr. before Ryan Tannehill connected with Geoff Swaim for a TD. The second one was intercepted by Kevin Byard who then returned it a 24-yard TD.

When Tannehill rushed for the third TD for the Titans in the second half, they were leading 21-3 and the Rams were still trying to their offensive pace.

Though the home team managed to catch up a bit with two field goals, Peterson squeezed into the end zone to kill the game in the last quarter.

That sent an interesting message after the Browns released their star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. There were complicated reasons behind his underperformance and breakup with the team recently, but it's also true that Beckham Jr. has not contributed much to the team's offense for a long time.

"I wish him well, I really do. My feelings haven't changed," Mayfield said of Beckham Jr. "From a personal standpoint, he's a good friend of mine. ... But I'm worried about the guys in our locker room. I'm proud of these guys, how they were able to focus up despite all the bulls – that was going on this week and how they were able to do their job. We're going to see if we can build on it and continue to get better."
