ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Josh Allen completed a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight Tyler Kroft with 15 seconds remaining, and the Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angeles Rams 35-32 after squandering a 25-point lead on Sunday.

The Rams (2-1) were poised to match the third-largest comeback in NFL regular-season history after Jared Goff led the team to touchdowns on four straight drives, capped by Darrell Henderson’s 1-yard run with 4:30 remaining.

Allen responded by marching the Bills (3-0) on an 11-play, 75-yard drive, which was extended by a pass interference penalty against Darious Williams on fourth-and-7 from the Rams 12. Williams interfered with intended receiver Gabriel Davis at the 3.

One play later, Allen rolled to his left and lobbed a pass over a Rams defender. Kroft made a leaping catch and secured the ball before tumbling to the ground for his second TD of the game.

Allen finished with four touchdown passes and scored on a 1-yard run. But he contributed to the Rams’ comeback bid with an interception and a lost fumble that led to Los Angeles touchdown drives.

With Packers top receiver Davante Adams unable to play because of a hamstring injury, Rodgers nonetheless found ways to attack the Saints with a variety of passes, short and long.

Allen Lazard caught six passes for 146 yards, including gains of 48 and 72 yards on throws deep downfield that each set up touchdowns.

Saints running back Alvin Kamara built on a sensational start to the season, gaining 197 yards from scrimmage and scoring twice on short passes from Brees, with shifty, tackle-slipping runs after the catch.

BUCCANEERS 28, BRONCOS 10: Tom Brady threw three touchdown passes and Shaq Barrett celebrated his homecoming with a pair of sacks, one for a safety, as Tampa Bay (2-1) won at Denver (0-3).

BEARS 30, FALCONS 26: Nick Foles threw three touchdown passes in the fourth quarter as visiting Chicago (3-0) rallied from a 16-point deficit to hand Atlanta (0-3) another humiliating defeat.

The Bears, 3-0 for the first time since 2013, became the second straight team to overcome a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter against the Falcons.

This one could spell the end for sixth-year coach Dan Quinn, who desperately needed a good start after two straight losing seasons.

After taking over for Mitchell Trubisky in the third quarter, Foles had two apparent touchdown passes overturned by official reviews but still managed to pull out the victory. He finished 16 of 29 for 188 yards.
