Falcons 27, Cowboys 21

In a gripping match, Kirk Cousins secured his third career victory over the Cowboys, marking a satisfying reunion with former Vikings coach Mike Zimmer. With 11 games of at least three touchdown passes and a passer rating above 140, Cousins is now in exclusive company, trailing only legends like Tom Brady and Drew Brees. Meanwhile, Dak Prescott’s hamstring injury adds to the Cowboys' woes, leading owner Jerry Jones to hint at potential trade deadline moves. Will he act, or is it just hot air?

Ravens 41, Broncos 10

Lamar Jackson dazzled with his fourth perfect passer rating, showcasing an offensive explosion against a Broncos defense that had prided itself on its toughness. Derrick Henry brought the pain with another powerful performance, reminding fans of his elite status. The Ravens sent a clear message: while the Broncos may scrape the playoffs, they are not ready to compete at the championship level.

Bills 30, Dolphins 27

The high-stakes drama continued as the Bills edged a desperate Dolphins team. Buffalo improved to 7-2, securing a playoff spot as they look forward. Tyler Bass’s game-winning 61-yard field goal highlighted the day, despite the absence of key receiver Amari Cooper. The Dolphins, however, found promising signs in their reenergized running game, but they desperately need to turn potential into wins if they want a shot at the playoffs.

Panthers 23, Saints 22

It's official: the Saints are in crisis mode after suffering their seventh consecutive loss to the league's bottom team, prompting a coaching shakeup. The Panthers took the win but are still seeking to offload players not in their future plans. The Saints would be wise to consider the same, as they face a roster overhaul.

Bengals 41, Raiders 24

In a Halloween-themed showdown, Joe Burrow showcased his talent with five touchdown passes, though he understands his team still has a long way to go. The Raiders are sinking deeper, with their offensive coordinator fired and more changes likely on the horizon. Could star linebacker Maxx Crosby be the lone bright spot in an otherwise bleak season?

Chargers 27, Browns 10

The Jameis Winston experiment in Cleveland appears to be over after another disheartening defeat. The Chargers are finding their rhythm, proving themselves as legitimate playoff contenders with an improving offense complementing a strong defense.

Commanders 27, Giants 22

In a gritty showdown, the Commanders prevailed against their division rivals. They need Brian Robinson back to maximize their offensive potential, while the Giants inch closer to a big decision regarding their quarterback, Daniel Jones. With his hefty contract implications weighing in, the clock is ticking.

Titans 20, Patriots 17

In a nail-biter decided in overtime, the Titans edged the Patriots. Drake Maye’s impressive stats give Tennessee hope for the future, while New England's decision-making remains scrutinized, especially regarding their failure to capitalize on crucial opportunities.

Cardinals 29, Bears 9

The Cardinals emerged as a serious contender, dismantling a Bears squad clearly feeling the effects of their recent losses. James Conner shone with 107 rushing yards, but the coaching pressure builds in Chicago as their playoff hopes fade.

Eagles 28, Jaguars 23

Despite a shaky second half, the Eagles secured a vital win led by Saquon Barkley’s all-around dominance. Standing strong at 6-2, worries of a late-season collapse loom, while the Jaguars must look ahead to future strategies, possibly with a new head coach at the helm.

Lions 24, Packers 14

Jared Goff continues his stellar form, achieving record-breaking completion percentages in recent weeks. With a commanding 7-1 record, the Lions are a force in the NFC, eyeing home-field advantage and potential Super Bowl dreams.

Rams 26, Seahawks 20

The Rams made a stunning comeback for their third consecutive win, placing them back in the mix for the NFC West. The Seahawks, troubled by injuries and inconsistency, face mounting questions about their strategy moving forward.

Vikings 21, Colts 13

The Vikings snapped a two-game skid thanks to a strong defensive effort that kept the Colts at bay. Justin Jefferson shone brightly, but questions about Indianapolis's quarterback carousel remain as they seek to reclaim their footing.
