British Brooks rushed for a pair of touchdowns and the host Houston Texans forced five turnovers to cruise to a 28-10 win over the New York Giants on Saturday afternoon.

Brooks had scoring scampers of 6 and 15 yards, with both runs coming in the fourth quarter. Reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year C.J. Stroud had only 10 pass attempts, completing seven. He threw for 88 yards.

The Texans (2-1) recovered three fumbles and got Giants quarterback Daniel Jones to throw a pair of interceptions. Jones completed 11 of 18 passes for 138 yards.

Devin Singletary ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 10:31 remaining in the second quarter, but New York (1-1) never found the end zone again the rest of the way.

Bears 27, Bengals 3

Tyson Bagent stole the spotlight from No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams by throwing for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Chicago’s rout of visiting Cincinnati.

Bagent completed 7 of 8 passes for the Bears (3-0). Williams threw for 75 yards on 6-for-13 passing. Dante Pettis was on the receiving end of both of Bagent’s TD passes, and he finished with three catches for 53 yards.

Evan McPherson booted a 54-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to provide the Bengals’ only points. Logan Woodside had 132 yards on 17-of-25 passing for Cincinnati (0-2). He was picked off twice.

Ravens 13, Falcons 12

Josh Johnson completed 11 of 11 passes for 120 yards and a touchdown as host Baltimore snuck by Atlanta.

Fellow Ravens quarterback Emory Jones connected with Dayton Wade for a 56-yard TD with 2:56 left in the third quarter to put Baltimore (1-1) up 13-6.

Jase McClellan found the end zone from 3 yards out with 36 seconds left in the game for the Falcons (0-2), but he was stopped short of the goal line on Atlanta’s ensuing two-point conversion attempt. McClellan finished with 55 yards and the score on 11 carries.
