Philadelphia Eagles (26 vs 18) Washington Commanders
Jalen Hurts: 18/28 completed, 260 total yds, 1 TD
Saquon Barkley: 28 touches, 198 yds, 2 TDs
Jayden Daniels: 22/32 completed, 207 total yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Austin Ekeler: 8 catches, 89 yds
Frankie Luvu: 6 tackles, 2 sacks
Philly running back Saquon Barkley is building a strong case for MVP favouritism with the season he is having at a new franchise, continuing his hot run with another near-200 yard performance with two touchdowns.
He separated the game with two fourth quarter touchdowns to ice it, as the Eagles claimed their eighth win on the year in convincing fashion over Washington.
A garbage-time touchdown lessened the margin for the Commanders and could potentially wallpaper over some cracks in their game, being beaten in all categories against Philadelphia on Thursday Night Football and falling to 7-4.
Chicago Bears (19 vs 20) Green Bay Packers
Caleb Williams: 23/31 completed, 301 total yds
D'Andre Swift: 16 touches, 84 yds, 1 TD
Jordan Love: 13/17 completed, 279 total yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT
Christian Watson: 4 catches, 150 yds
For the second consecutive week, a game was decided with a blocked field goal at the death, this time cursing the Chicago Bears, who have now lost four in a row.
Caleb Williams was far more dynamic than in recent weeks, escaping the pocket and releasing the ball quicker, though still to no avail on the scoreboard.
Packers QB Jordan Love threw for an explosive 261 yards with a touchdown and a pick. Despite arguably being outplayed for the majority of the match, the win is a massive result for Green Bay, who jump to 7-3 on the season and stay alive in the NFC North.
Detroit Lions (52 vs 6) Jacksonville Jaguars
Jared Goff: 24/29 completed, 433 total yds, 4 TDs
Amon-Ra St. Brown: 11 catches, 161 yds, 2 TDs
Jameson Williams: 4 catches, 124 yds, 1 TD
Mac Jones: 17/29 completed, 138 yds, 1 INT
Brian Thomas Jr: 5 catches, 82 yds
Detroit put together another total domination and are now tied a-top the NFL standings at 9-1, shredding Jacksonville by 46 points.
The Jags got the scoreboard rolling with the first field goal of the game, but were quickly stunned by the explosiveness of the Lions, led by Jameson Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
David Montgomery helped Detroit establish a 28-6 by half-time and Dan Campbell's men did not look back from there - trouncing the Jags for another four scores to blow them out 52-6.
Jared Goff was back to his accurate best, responding to his five-interception outing last week with over 400 yards and four touchdowns at 83% completion.
Miami Dolphins (34 vs 19) Las Vegas Raiders
Tua Tagovailoa: 28/36 completed, 288 yds, 3 TDs
Jonnu Smith: 6 catches, 101 yds, 2 TDs
Gardner Minshew II: 30/43 completed, 282 yds, 2 TDs, 1 INT
Brock Bowers: 13 catches, 126 yds, 1 TD
The Raiders made them work for it, but Miami continue their hot run since the return of Tua Tagovailoa.
The Dolphins QB led the way with three touchdowns and an efficient 288 yards, throwing the game-sealing touchdown with just over three minutes remaining.
Las Vegas season dwindles away further with this loss, dropping to 2-8 with little hope of rising from last in the AFC West.
New England Patriots (22 vs 28) Los Angeles Rams
Drake Maye: 30/40 completed, 309 total yds, 2 TDs, 2 turnovers
Kendrick Bourne: 5 catches, 70 yds, 1 TD
Matthew Stafford: 18/27 completed, 295 yds, 4 TDs
Puka Nacua: 7 catches, 123 yds, 1 TD
Cooper Kupp: 6 catches, 106 yds, 2 TDs
The Patriots hung around but couldn't overcome the Rams, particularly the dual-receiving threat of Puka Nucua and Cooper Kupp.
Matthew Stafford didn't suffer the same red-zone struggles as last week, throwing all four Los Angeles touchdowns this time around, including a 69-yard third quarter bomb for Kupp.
Drake Maye was productive on the other side, but gave up some costly turnovers, allowing the Rams to pile on successive scores which proved decisive.
At 5-5, the Rams are still more than capable of claiming the NFC West, sitting one game behind the first-placed Cardinals.
New Orleans Saints (35 vs 14) Cleveland Browns
Derek Carr: 21/27 completed, 248 yds, 2 TDs
Taysom Hill: 17 touches, 206 yds, 3 TDs, 1 INT
Jameis Winston: 30/46 completed, 403 total yds, 2 TDs
Jerry Jeudy: 6 catches, 142 yds, 1 TD
The New Orleans Saints secured their fourth win of the season over Cleveland at the Caesars Superdome.
Taysom Hill delivered a sensational all-around performance, rushing for 138 yards and three touchdowns, including a career-long 75-yard score. Hill also contributed as a receiver, passer, and kickoff returner.
Derek Carr complemented Hill's efforts, throwing for 248 yards and two touchdowns, including a 71-yarder to Marquez Valdes-Scantling.
Despite Jameis Winston's 395-yard passing effort for Cleveland, highlighted by an 89-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy, the Browns couldn't sustain momentum. Missed opportunities and a dominant Saints fourth quarter sealed their fate.
Pittsburgh Steelers (18 vs 16) Baltimore Ravens
Russell Wilson: 23/36 completed, 205 yds, 1 INT
George Pickens: 8 catches, 89 yds
Lamar Jackson: 16/33 completed, 253 total yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Isaiah Likely: 4 catches, 75 yds
Odafe Oweh: 3 tackles, 2.5 sacks
The Pittsburgh Steelers edged out the Baltimore Ravens 18-16 in a classic AFC North battle at Acrisure Stadium.
Pittsburgh relied on Chris Boswell's six field goals, with their defense forcing three critical turnovers.
A pivotal interception by rookie Payton Wilson halted a late Ravens comeback attempt, while Baltimore's failed two-point conversion sealed the outcome.
Despite Lamar Jackson's 207-yard passing effort, the Ravens' high-powered offense struggled against a stingy Steelers defense, leaving Baltimore at 7-4, while Pittsburgh improved to 8-2 atop the division.

His 47-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Addison helped Minnesota take control early, as the Vikings improved to 8-2.
Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis connected on a franchise-record-tying 98-yard touchdown pass to Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, but penalties and a struggling offensive line hampered Tennessee's comeback efforts.
The Titans, now 2-8, committed 13 penalties for 91 yards, including several controversial calls that frustrated head coach Brian Callahan.

Aaron Rodgers: 22/29 completed, 184 yds, 2 TDs

Anthony Richardson: 20/30 completed, 304 total yds, 3 TDs, 1 turnover
Josh Downs: 5 catches, 84 yds, 1 TD
Kwity Paye: 6 tackles, 2 sacks
The Indianapolis Colts secured a thrilling 28-27 victory over the New York Jets, led by rookie quarterback Anthony Richardson's late-game heroics.
Returning as the starter after a two-game benching, Richardson rushed for two touchdowns, including the game-winning 4-yard score with 46 seconds left. He also threw for 272 yards and a touchdown.
The Jets, led by ageing quarterback Aaron Rodgers, struggled early but rallied behind two touchdown passes and a Breece Hall score. However, key defensive stops, including two critical sacks by Kwity Paye in the final moments, sealed the Colts' win.

The Falcons struggled offensively, with Kirk Cousins throwing for 173 yards and an interception before being replaced by rookie Michael Penix Jr.
Denver's victory snapped a two-game skid and completed their sweep of the NFC South, marking a strong resurgence under coach Sean Payton.

Geno Smith led the Seattle Seahawks to a thrilling 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers with a 13-yard game-winning touchdown run in the final seconds.
Smith completed seven of eight passes on the decisive 80-yard drive before scrambling past a depleted 49ers defense to seal the win. The Seahawks, now 5-5, ended a six-game losing streak to San Francisco and kept their playoff hopes alive.
Kenneth Walker III contributed a 1-yard touchdown run, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba recorded 110 receiving yards.
For the 49ers, Brock Purdy threw a touchdown pass and scored on a 10-yard scramble, but the team's fourth-quarter struggles continued. Injuries to key players, including Nick Bosa and George Kittle, further hampered San Francisco's efforts.
The Seahawks now share second place in the NFC West, a game behind Arizona, and will host the Cardinals next week, while the 49ers visit Green Bay.

Allen, who also threw for 262 yards and a touchdown, evaded defenders to secure the win, drawing chants of โMVPโ from the home crowd.
James Cook added two rushing touchdowns for Buffalo, while the defense held Patrick Mahomes to 196 yards and intercepted him twice. Mahomes threw three touchdown passes, but Kansas City's offense struggled, finishing with a season-low 259 yards.
The victory keeps Buffalo (9-2) in contention for the AFC's top seed, while Kansas City (9-1) remains atop the conference despite the loss. The Bills head into their bye week on a six-game win streak, while the Chiefs look to rebound next Sunday against Carolina.
