Carson Wentz played a bad game, but he did just enough in the end to help the Vikings overcome a tough Browns' defense.

After a scoreless first half, the Vikings finally put their first points on the board in the form of a FG. Finally tied 3-3, the defense allowed Quinshon Judkins to score on a 33-yard TD run, and the Vikings trailed once again.

But Minnesota tied things up with a TD run from Jordan Mason for 15 yards. With 9:43 left, Joe Flacco led the Browns on a five-minute drive which only ended up in a FG. Nevertheless, the Browns were up 13-10.

Carson Wentz, who had thrown two interceptions so far in the game, suddenly broke out in the final drive of the game. The offense converted on three crucial third downs to keep their drive alive. One of those conversions included an 18-yard pass from Wentz to Justin Jefferson.

Jordan Addison ended up catching the game-winning touchdown. With just over a minute left, his four-yard TD reception helped the Vikings take a four point lead. With two timeouts remaining, they did manage to reach the MIN 35. But Flacco fumbled the ball after getting sacked by Javon Hargrave.

The Colts avenge their first loss of the season with a convincing win over the Raiders.

Geno Smith and the Raiders' offense kept things close in the first half. His three-yard TD pass to Jakobi Meyers cut the deficit to 17-10. But while he was scraping by, Daniel Jones was on fire.

Jaxson Dart earns his second career-win as the Giants just barely defeat the New Orleans Saints.

Dart wasn't spectacular in the win (16 of 27 for 173 yards), but he did score more touchdowns (1) than anyone else on the Saints' offense. Down 6-0, Dart threw a 16-yard TD pass to Darius Slayton. After another Saints FG, the Giants once again marched down the field. This time, Cam Skattebo punched it in for eight yards to extend their lead to 14-9.

However, that ended up being the last time the Giants scored. Skattebo fumbled on a promising drive in the fourth quarter, and the Saints recovered. Of course, they could only respond to that with yet another FG drive.

Then, the Saints scored another FG (because why not), but they were still trailing 14-12 with just over five minutes left. While they did manage to get the ball back, the offense failed to make it past the 50. Giants fans can thank Abdul Carter, who earned his first solo sack to make it 3rd & long for Spencer Rattler.

Down 9 points now with 7 minutes remaining, Fields led the Jets down the field and scored his fourth touchdown of the day, an 11-yard run into the end zone.

The Arizona Cardinals end a two-game losing streak with a strong win over the Tennessee Titans. Although Cam Ward nearly led his team on an epic comeback, the Cardinals quickly shut down that hope entirely.

Things could not have started off better for the Cardinals, who outscored the Titans 23-0 in the first three quarters. But perhaps the only big issue was that they were forced to settle for FGs often. They only actually scored two touchdowns, including a fifteen-yard TD reception from Greg Dortch.

Cam Ward and the Titans' offense finally got things going in the final 10 minutes of action. He threw a 1-yard TD pass to Van Jefferson on one drive, and an eight-yard TD pass to Elic Ayomanor on another. Furthermore, Tony Pollard ran it in for two yards to convert on the two-point conversion.

Now up only 23-15, the Cardinals managed to get their act together for one last FG drive. By the time they scored, there was only 1:10 left on the clock. Without any timeouts, the Titans failed come back.

Detroit took a 21-7 lead early in the first half. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery both earned rushing scores. Jared Goff also threw a TD pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Jake Browning and the Bengals scored during the two-minute warning. He connected with Ja'Marr Chase on a 20-yard score to help alleviate the damage. But right after the two-point conversion, Jacob Saylors returned the kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to extend their lead to 28-7.

In the second half, the Lions' offense slowed down, but they didn't stop. They still scored 10 more points, including another TD run from Gibbs. Then Jake Bates converted a 35-yard FG halfway through the fourth quarter.

Cincinnati did score two more garbage time TDs. So while Jake Browning did technically score three touchdowns in the loss, he once again struggled to lead the Bengals to victory in Joe Burrow's absence.

Jayden Daniels' return from injury wasn't glorious, as he struggled against a strong Chargers' defensive unit.

L.A.'s offense played slightly better than last week against the Giants. Justin Herbert threw a touchdown pass on the team's opening drive to Quentin Johnston. But they failed to score a touchdown on their next two red zone attempts, forcing them to settle for Field Goals. Nevertheless, their defense held the Commanders to just 3 points in the first half.

Washington picked up in the second half, as Chris Rodriguez scored on a 12-yard TD run. L.A. responded with another field goal to make things 16-10. In the fourth quarter, the Commanders scored a FG and now only trailed 16-13. But the Chargers put the final nail in the coffin with a 27-yard TD run from Omarion Hampton to make things 23-13.

The Buffalo Bills defeat the Patriots with relative ease as they remain undefeated. A strong 24-point performance in the first half helped Buffalo get past their divisional rival.

The Patriots' offense wasn't playing badly, but they weren't as explosive as the Bills, who scored 34 points in the first three quarters. Although scoreless in the final fifteen minutes, the Bills held the Patriots to just 14 points in the second half.

Josh Allen and James Cook continue to pulverize defenses. Allen already looks like a lock in for MVP, especially after scoring three touchdowns in the win. His biggest play included a 50-yard TD pass to Keon Coleman. Cook scored on a 13-yard run in the third quarter to make things 31-10.

Mahomes threw an INT to Andrew Wingard, who returned it to the KC 35 with 0:51 left. The Jags only got a field goal, but it still extended their lead.

Kansas City took the lead when Kelce caught another TD pass, making things 17-16. Travis Etienne helped the team bounce back with a 14-yard TD run, but he wasn't able to punch it in for two. Nevertheless, the Jaguars were up 22-17.

Kansas City then scored two unanswered touchdowns, which completely killed the Jaguars' hopes of winning. Mahomes connected with Hollywood Brown, and Kareem Hunt ran in for another score with less than two minutes left.

Trevor Lawrence did score once more (a TD pass to Hunter Long), but there was only 19 seconds left. Furthermore, the Chiefs recovered the onside kick and that's all she wrote.
