The yardage totals were close, but the final was anything but as Baltimore rolled past Washington 30-3 in Landover, Md. on Saturday to complete its NFL preseason a perfect 3-0.

Rasheen Ali and D’Ernest Johnson rumbled for first-half rushing scores, rookie Tyler Loop drilled three long field goals, including a 61-yarder in the fourth quarter, and Keyon Martin returned an interception 26 yards for a touchdown late in the second that gave Baltimore a 24-3 lead.

With Jayden Daniels sitting this one out, Washington’s backup quarterbacks failed to distinguish themselves, as Sam Hartman and Josh Johnson combined to throw three interceptions and lead one scoring drive capped off by a Matt Gay 47-yard field goal.

The Ravens open their season with the Bills in Buffalo Sept. 7, while the Commanders (0-3 in the preseason) host the New York Giants that same day.

Colts 41, Bengals 14

Laquon Treadwell paced Indianapolis with 116 yards receiving as Indianapolis (1-2) ran away from host Cincinnati.

Treadwell grabbed six catches on six targets, including a 59-yard scoring play from Riley Leonard at the end of the second quarter.

Leonard, a rookie out of Notre Dame, completed 15 of 20 passes for 189 yards, while Daniel Scott returned an interception for a 35-yard touchdown to hand the Colts an early 10-0 lead. Ulysses Bentley IV had two scoring runs.

The Bengals (1-2) had little to smile about with just 228 total yards and a pair of turnovers. Desmond Ridder and Quali Conley scored on the ground.

Browns 19, Rams 17

Recently tabbed for the starting role, quarterback Joe Flacco completed 9 of 10 passes for 71 yards and a 15-yard touchdown to Harold Fannin Jr. as host Cleveland defeated Los Angeles.

Dillon Gabriel threw for 129 yards in relief and connected with Gage Larvadain for a 3-yard score, while Andre Szmyt hit a 37-yard field goal at the gun to help the Browns finish the preseason 3-0.

The Rams (2-1) had taken their first lead of the game with 2:03 to play on a 2-yard Jordan Waters run. That capped a 77-yard drive directed by second-year player Dresser Winn.

Texans 26, Lions 7

Young passers Graham Mertz and Kedon Slovis combined for 256 yards through the air and a touchdown apiece as Houston handled host Detroit (1-3).

A Woody Marks 9-yard touchdown run in the second quarter gave the Texans (2-1) a 10-7 lead. After short scoring passes by Mertz and Slovis, Ka’imi Fairbairn hit a 48-yard field goal to complete the scoring.

Detroit’s touchdown came via a Kyle Allen 33-yard pass to Isaac TeSlaa in the first quarter.

Broncos 28, Saints 19

In head coach Sean Payton’s return to New Orleans, Denver cruised past the Saints.

Bo Nix (110 yards) helped lead the Broncos (3-0) to a 16-9 halftime advantage, connecting with Courtland Sutton on a 19-yard touchdown pass. Will Lutz, also celebrating his return to his former stomping grounds, went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts.

Blake Grupe responded with four makes for New Orleans (0-2-1). Tyler Shough may have gained the advantage in the quarterback competition, getting more playing time than Spencer Rattler and scoring on an 11-yard run in the fourth quarter.

Packers 20, Seahawks 7

Malik Willis and Taylor Elgersma each threw touchdown passes to lead host Green Bay (2-1) to a victory over Seattle.

After throwing an interception on the third play of the game, Willis bounced back to lead a 96-yard scoring drive immediately after, finishing it with a 1-yard touchdown pass to Romeo Doubs. Elgersma, who finished 6-of-8 for 33 yards, made it 17-0 Packers with a 3-yard touchdown to Will Sheppard.

Rookie QB Jalen Milroe played the entire game for the Seahawks (1-1-1), completing 13 of 24 passes for 148 yards. He prevented a shutout with an 18-yard touchdown to Cody White early in the fourth quarter. JaCardia Wright led Seattle with 65 rushing yards, 61 of which came on a single carry.

Dolphins 14, Jaguars 6

Miami starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa saw his only action of the preseason, playing the first three drives and throwing a touchdown pass in the home victory in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Tagovailoa was 4 of 8 for 49 yards, including a 25-yard catch and run score by Malik Washington. Tagovailoa, who was sacked twice in the game, then completed a two-point conversion pass to Pharaoh Brown for an 8-0 lead three minutes into the second quarter.

Zach Wilson (9 of 13, 80 yards) and rookie Quinn Ewers (7 of 8, 66 yards) played the rest of the way for the Dolphins in the preseason finale for both teams. Mike Boone ran for a 7-yard touchdown in the third quarter, and the conversion pass failed.

Jacksonville did not play its starters, with kicker Cam Little booting two second-quarter field goals of 43 and 59 yards. The Jaguars’ defense collected six sacks. Quarterbacks John Wolford (3 of 5, 25 yards) and Seth Henigan (15 of 21, 77 yards, one interception) played in place of starter Trevor Lawrence.

Bills 23, Buccaneers 19

Quarterback Shane Buechele completed 25 of 30 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown as visiting Buffalo won for the first time in the preseason, edging Tampa Bay, 23-19.

In his second year with the Bills, Buechele hit wide receiver Tyrell Shavers with an 11-yard touchdown pass to the left flat with 6:26 remaining in the second quarter to give Buffalo a 14-3 lead.

The Bills scored on their first drive of the game when Frank Gore Jr. capped a 12-play, 80-drive with a one-yard touchdown carry.

Bucs quarterbacks Kyle Trask (13-of-17, 93 yards) and Connor Bazelak (12-of-19, 107 yards) each threw a touchdown pass for the hosts. Trask connected with receiver Tez Johnson for a one-yard score with 58 seconds left in the first half and Bazelak hooked up with wideout Garrett Greene for another one-yard strike to trim Tampa’s deficit to 23-19 with 1:47 remaining.

49ers 30, Chargers 23

Trey Lance failed to generate any points in his return to the Bay Area and San Francisco scored on a pick-6 to take the lead for good as the host 49ers beat Los Angeles.

Lance, whom the 49ers took with the third overall pick in 2021, got the start and led three drives that all ended in punts. Trying to get his career back on track after spending last season primarily as a backup in Dallas, Lance was 5-for-8 for 38 yards.

Tanner Mordecai, who spent most of last season on the San Francisco practice squad, was 10 of 13 for 103 yards and a touchdown pass — a 22-yard strike to Demarcus Robinson to open the scoring. Jake Moody missed the extra point, leaving it 6-0 for the 49ers, but he would later make three extra points and a 38-yard field goal.

With the game tied at 16-16, 49ers linebacker Curtis Robinson intercepted a DJ Uiagalelei pass and returned it 32 yards for the game-winning score with 6:06 left in the game. Uiagalelei finished 16 of 31 for 170 yards, two touchdowns and the interception for the Chargers.

Cardinals 20, Raiders 10

Reserve quarterback Clayton Tune played the entire game for the Arizona offense and threw for 83 yards and a touchdown in the win over visiting Las Vegas.

Most starters played sparingly in the preseason finale for both teams, with Raiders quarterback Geno Smith going 2-for-3 for 26 yards, including a 17-yard touchdown pass to Dont’e Thornton Jr. Smith’s backup, Aidan O’Connell, was 3-for-4 for 36 yards before exiting in the second quarter with a right wrist injury. Las Vegas rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, the team’s top draft pick, had two carries for five yards.

Tune, listed at third string behind starter Kyler Murray and Jacoby Brissett, was 12 of 20 with the one TD pass, a 10-yarder to Simi Fehoko in the first quarter to tie the game. Tune also rushed five times for 47 yards. The Cardinals’ Bam Knight had five carries for 83 yards, most coming on a 67-yard run to the end zone in the third quarter for a 17-10 lead.
