NFL round-up: Harrison Butker kicks Chiefs to narrow victory over Bengals, Saints wrangle Cowboys

The Kansas City Chiefs needed a late penalty and a 51-yard field goal from Harrison Butker to scrape past the Cincinnati Bengals 26-25.

Cincinnati appeared to be on top of the reigning Super Bowl champions when Evan McPherson converted a 53-yard field goal attempt to give the visitors a two-point lead with just over nine minutes remaining.

The Bengals' defence had the victory all but wrapped up in the final minute when they forced the fearsome Chiefs’ offence to punt, but a penalty on safety Daijahn Anthony kept Kansas City’s window open just enough for Butker to resign Cincinnati to a 0-2 start to the season.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had a poor outing by his standards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, while Joe Burrow threw for two touchdowns and 258 yards.

Earlier, the Green Bay Packers became the first NFL franchise to reach 800 wins after they defeated the Indianapolis Colts 16-10 on Sunday.

Despite last week’s injury to starting quarterback Jordan Love, back-up Malik Willis picked up a win and his first career touchdown, a 14-yard pass to Dontayvion Wicks in the first quarter.

Running back Josh Jacobs, though, was understandably the centre of the game plan with 32 carries for 151 yards.

Four touchdowns from New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara inspired his side to a thumping 44-19 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

Derek Carr threw for 243 yards, two touchdowns and an interception and punched in a one-yard running score as the Saints recorded a second emphatic win in succession.

There was also a big win for the Arizona Cardinals, who thumped the Los Angeles Rams 41-10 on the back of two touchdowns to star rookie wide receiver Marvin
