The New York Giants came into Houston as 10-point underdogs and left with sole command of the NFC East. Devin Singletary broke free for a 30-yard touchdown run in overtime against his former team, lifting the Giants to a 27-21 win over the Texans on Sunday at Reliant Stadium.

Houston (2-5) won the ball to open overtime and went three-and-out, with Kayvon Thibodeaux dropping a potential interception along the way. New York (4-2-1) needed three plays to end it: a 9-yard J.J. McCarthy completion to Malik Nabers, a 42-yard Cam Skattebo run to the Houston 30, and Singletary’s draw play to the end zone just 2:35 into the extra period.

Skattebo, who had no touches at all last week, was the engine all afternoon — 17 carries for a career-high 124 yards, including a 16-yard touchdown that put the Giants up 21-14 in the fourth quarter. All four New York touchdowns came on the ground, from four different rushers — Tyrone Tracy, Jameis Winston on a 1-yard sneak, Skattebo and Singletary — the first time the Giants have done that in a game since December 3, 1950. The Giants ran for 188 yards and outgained Houston 420-237 despite two missed field goals by Dominic Zvada.

McCarthy won his first start with the Giants, completing 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards. Nabers caught seven passes for 111 yards.

The Texans forced overtime when C.J. Stroud — 17-of-28 for 153 yards and two touchdowns — hit Xavier Hutchinson for a 3-yard score with 52 seconds left in regulation. Ka’imi Fairbairn kept Houston close early with field goals of 57 and 58 yards, and Tank Dell caught a 43-yard pass in his first game since December 2024. But the Texans fell to 0-4 at home, and their postseason hopes took another heavy hit.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught nine passes for 150 yards and a touchdown and Emanuel Wilson rushed for 100 yards and a score as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 20-3 on Sunday night at Lumen Field, handing Kansas City its first loss of the season.

Sam Darnold completed 20 of 28 passes for 257 yards with one touchdown and one interception for Seattle (4-3), which snapped a two-game skid and outgained Kansas City 410-213. The Seahawks converted 11 of 16 third downs, while the Chiefs managed just 3 of 11 and never reached the red zone.

After a scoreless first quarter, Seattle opened the scoring on Jason Myers’ 25-yard field goal with 8:22 left in the second quarter, set up by a 33-yard Darnold completion to Smith-Njigba. On Kansas City’s next series, safety Ty Okada intercepted a Patrick Mahomes pass intended for Jalen Royals, and Darnold finished the ensuing drive with a 28-yard touchdown strike to Smith-Njigba down the left sideline with 1:44 left in the half. Smith-Njigba was originally ruled out of bounds inside the 1, but a video review determined the ball had crossed the goal line, giving Seattle a 10-0 lead.

Seattle threatened again in the closing seconds of the half, reaching the Kansas City 2, but cornerback Nohl Williams intercepted Darnold in the back of the end zone and returned it 64 yards. Harrison Butker’s 58-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the half fell short, leaving the score 10-0.

Myers added a 35-yard field goal on Seattle’s opening drive of the second half to make it 13-0. Kansas City’s lone score came on Butker’s 50-yard field goal with 1:42 left in the third quarter. Early in the fourth, Mahomes hit Travis Kelce for 19 yards to move into scoring range, but Butker missed a 45-yard attempt wide right. Seattle put the game away on Wilson’s 21-yard touchdown run around the left end with 3:47 remaining, capping a nine-play, 65-yard drive. Wilson finished with 24 carries.

Mahomes was 19 of 33 passing for 165 yards with an interception for the Chiefs (5-1), who played without wide receiver Rashee Rice. It was a quiet homecoming for running back Kenneth Walker III, the Super Bowl LX MVP for Seattle last season before signing with Kansas City. Walker, who entered the night as the NFL rushing leader averaging 133 yards per game, was limited to 36 yards on 14 carries. Kelce’s four catches for 44 yards gave him 1,104 receptions for his career, moving him past Marvin Harrison and Cris Carter into fifth place in NFL history.

Kansas City visits the Denver Broncos next Sunday in a matchup for the AFC West lead. Seattle hosts the Chicago Bears on Monday, Nov. 2.
