Philadelphia Eagles have become the first team to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in London since 2014 as the reigning Super Bowl champions improved their record to 4-4 with a 24-18 NFL victory.

Carson Wentz and Blake Bortles both threw for 286 yards in the game but the Eagles quarterback had three touchdowns to one in his team's victory.

The Jaguars (3-5) had won three straight times in the England capital.

Los Angles Rams remained the only unbeaten team in the NFL after a 29-27 defeat of the Green Bay Packers.

Jared Goff threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns while running back Todd Gurley scored a touchdown for the 11th-straight game.

Kareem Hunt's spectacular touchdown highlighted a 30-23 Kansas City Chiefs victory over the Denver Broncos.

With Kansas City facing fourth-and-one in the third quarter, Hunt took a shovel pass from Patrick Mahomes, hurdled one defender and then broke several more tackles on his way to a 23-yard score.

The win took the Chief's record to 7-1.

Indianapolis Colts placekicker Adam Vinatieri became the all-time leading scorer in NFL history with a 25-yard field goal in the 42-28 win over the Oakland Raiders.

Vinatieri, 46, passed Hall of Famer Morten Anderson's mark of 2,544 points.

"I want to congratulate you on breaking my all-time scoring record and also my all-time field-goal record. Great job. Very proud of you," Andersen said in a video message on Twitter posted by the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

New Orleans Saints beat the Minnesota Vikings 30-20 to improve to 6-1 despite just 120 years throwing by quarterback Drew Brees.

Cam Newton threw for 219 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another on the ground as the Carolina Panthers beat the Baltimore Ravens 36-21 to move to 5-2.

Dirk Koetter's decision to bench Jameis Winston in the third quarter almost paid off as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied with Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback against the Cincinnati Bengals, only to lose 37-34 on a late field goal.

Seattle Seahawks improved to 4-3 as Russell Wilson threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns in a 28-14 victory over the Detroit Lions.

Baker Mayfield can't give the Cleveland Browns a road win after they went down 33-18 to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Chicago Bears beat the New York Jets 24-10, the Washington Redskins beat the New York Giants 20-13 and the Arizona Cardinals sealed an 18-15 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
