The Broncos' Julius Thomas scoring in the second quarter. That was Peyton Manning's 19th touchdown pass in five games, a record.
Peyton Manning kept up his torrid pace with four touchdown passes, and Matt Prater kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired to lift Denver at Dallas, 51-48, on Sunday.
Tony Romo threw for 506 yards and 5 touchdowns, the first 500-yard game by a Cowboy, but he was intercepted by Danny Trevathan at the Dallas 24 late in the fourth quarter to set up Prater's winning kick.
"It was pretty amazing that it came down to the defense making a big play at the end," Denver Coach John Fox said. "Thank God our offense kept us in the game all day long."
The Broncos advanced to the Dallas 1 and then ran down the clock to make sure Prater's kick was the final play in a wild game that improved Denver's record to 5-0.
The teams combined for 1,039 yards of total offense in the game, the second-highest-scoring game in regulation since the N.F.L.'s merger with the American Football League in 1970, according to Stats L.L.C. Cincinnati and Cleveland combined for 106 points in 2004.
Manning, who threw for 414 yards and passed Dan Marino for second place on the career passing yardage list, broke the record for touchdown passes through five games with his 19th on a second-quarter toss. He also ran for a score later in the second quarter and threw his fourth touchdown pass of the day — his 20th this season — in the third.
Dallas took a 48-41 lead after Romo connected on a 79-yard pass to Dez Bryant that set up a 4-yard scoring toss to Cole Beasley. Manning answered by leading a 73-yard drive that ended with Knowshon Moreno's tying 1-yard run with 2 minutes 44 seconds remaining.
The Cowboys were on the brink of being blown out early in the second half, but they finally stopped Manning and forced a field goal. They later ended Manning's streak of 227 passes without an interception.
BENGALS 13, PATRIOTS 6 Cincinnati sacked Tom Brady on his first pass attempt and kept up the pressure, beating visiting New England and ending Brady's streak of 52 games with a touchdown pass.
The Bengals sacked Brady four times over all, with Geno Atkins recording the first, and the Patriots failed to get into the end zone after a first-and-goal from the 1 in the fourth quarter.
A driving rain moved in just before New England's final chance. After a couple of dropped passes, Brady threw toward the goal line, but Adam Jones made a juggling interception inside the Cincinnati 5.
Brady's streak of games with a touchdown pass was the second longest in N.F.L. history, behind Drew Brees's 54-game streak. The Patriots were held out of the end zone for the first time since 2009.
CHIEFS 26, TITANS 17 Jamaal Charles scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 1-yard run with 6:23 left, and Kansas City won at Tennessee.
The Titans were out of sync in the first half, with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting at quarterback because Jake Locker (hip) was sidelined. Tennessee went three-and-out on its first five series, but the Chiefs blew a 13-0 halftime lead as the Titans scored 17 straight points.
Charles led Kansas City's rally, running for 50 of his 108 yards in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs, who at 5-0 are off to their best start since 2003, intercepted Fitzpatrick twice in the final 6:14.
RAVENS 26, DOLPHINS 23 Trailing by 23-13 with 10 minutes left, Miami scored twice in 95 seconds, but Justin Tucker kicked a 44-yard field goal with 1:42 left to lift Baltimore, which won on the road for the first time this season.
Joe Flacco threw one interception after throwing five last week, and the Ravens ran for a season-high 133 yards, with Ray Rice rushing for a season-best 74.
In the Ravens' postgame interview room, Coach John Harbaugh was talking when Flacco, waiting to speak, leaned against a switch and inadvertently turned the lights off.
"I was thinking, 'Déjà vu all over again,' " Harbaugh said to laughter, evoking memories of the partial blackout in the Super Bowl last season that delayed the Ravens' victory and led to some conspiracy theories that the N.F.L. wanted to help San Francisco rally.
The lights quickly came back on Sunday, but a short time later they went out again — this time because linebacker Terrell Suggs had leaned against the same switch as Flacco.
"Suggs got us that time," a grinning Harbaugh said. "It wasn't the commissioner."
