Super Bowl runners-up the Philadelphia Eagles maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 25-11 victory at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts rushed for one touchdown and threw for another - a 34-yard pass to Olamide Zaccheaus in the second quarter.
The Eagles are one of three teams at 3-0 for the season, along with the Miami Dolphins and the San Francisco 49ers.
"We found a way to win and we found a way to execute," Hurts said.
"I think we're a work in progress. We're playing really good team football, and we're still growing. That's the beautiful thing about it."
Elsewhere, the Cincinnati Bengals recorded their first win of the season with a 19-16 defeat of the Los Angeles Rams.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow played through a right calf strain to complete 26 of 49 passes for 259 yards - 141 of them to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase.
Their only touchdown came from a 14-yard run by Joe Mixon in the third quarter, with the Rams replying at the death.
