Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for two touchdowns but could not prevent his side from losing 24-14 to the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL.

Allen, last season's Most Valuable Player, threw for 180 yards but also two interceptions as the Bills were beaten for a second straight game.

Falcons quarterback Michael Penix threw for 250 yards and a touchdown at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to help steer the home side to a third victory in five games.

A Tyler Allgeier touchdown put the Falcons in front before Allen threw for Dawson Knox to go over the line.

A Drake London score and Bijan Robinson's 81-yard touchdown run put the Falcons 21-7 up, but Allen found Ray Davis to reduce the deficit to 21-14.

Atlanta's Parker Romo kicked a 33-yard field goal with one minute 43 seconds remaining to make sure of victory.

Bears stun Commanders with late field goal

A last-gasp 38-yard Jake Moody field goal on the final play gave the Chicago Bears a 25-24 victory at the Washington Commanders.

"It feels amazing," said Moody, who was making his Bears debut. "To get all that support from all my team-mates after the game, it was an amazing feeling."

Two Moody field goals and a touchdown from quarterback Caleb Williams put Chicago 13-0 up before Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels found Chris Moore to reduce the deficit to six points at Northwest Stadium.

Matt Gay and Moody traded field goals before Daniels threw to Luke McCaffrey and Zach Ertz for touchdowns as Washington opened up a 24-16 lead.

D'Andre Swift went over the line for Chicago before Moody sealed victory.

"That's who we are. We fight," said Williams, who threw for one touchdown and 252 yards.

"We're 3-2 because of our fight, because of how we face adversity and come together."
