NFL Results & Week 3 recap: Ravens, Rams beat Cowboys, 49ers, Chiefs win with defence

Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson combined for 238 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the Ravens ran the ball 45 times out of 60 plays to expose the Cowboys’ glaring weakness against the run.

Quaterback Jackson has led his team in rushing for the past five seasons but having Henry now means the NFL’s two-time most valuable player does not have to do it all himself. Henry had his 12th career game with 150 yards and two TDs – just one off Jim Brown’s all-time record.

Dallas did conjure up 19 fourth-quarter points out of nowhere and after Baltimore blew a 10-point lead last week the nerves were there, but the Ravens deserved their first win of the season, holding on for a 28-25 victory.

Like Dallas, San Francisco also lost back-to-back games despite bouncing out to a 14-0 lead against the injury-hit Rams, who bagged a dramatic 27-24 victory after a chaotic final few minutes.

Jauan Jennings had a monstrous 175-yard, three-touchdown game for the Niners, who had big injuries themselves, and Kyren Williams got a hat-trick for the Rams as they joined their rivals with a 1-2 record after a late Williams score and even later Joshua Karty field goal.
