Late and night games (00:29)
WAS 17, LV 15
Taylor Heinicke willing the team to wins; getting it done
With no JD McKissic (concussion), Antonio Gibson has full control of this backfield
Logan Thomas with a nice game but injuries his knee; headed to IR thus ending his season
This is probably the proverbial nail in the coffin for LV
Josh Jacobs with a solid game; Kenyan Drake quiet
Without Darren Waller, Hunter Renfrow continues to be the preferred pass catcher for Derek Carr
Next up: WAS hosts DAL; LV goes to KC
LAR 37, JAC 7
Matthew Stafford with a terrific performance from beginning to end
Without Darrell Henderson (thigh), Sony Michel with a great game
Cooper Kupp's amazing season continues; surpasses 100 catches for the season
Trevor Lawrence should be further along by now; a long offseason ahead for him
James Robinson still bothered by the injured heel
Laquon Treadwell becoming the WR1 for JAC; a must add
Next up: LAR visits ARI (Mon); JAC goes to TEN
PIT 20, BAL 19
Big Ben gives you a solid enough game here
Najee Harris bounces back a bit as opposed to last week's stinker
The pass game begins & ends with Diontae Johnson
Lamar Jackson with a better showing than last week's dud
Devonta Freeman edging out Latavius Murray as the de facto RB1
Next up: PIT travels to MIN (Thurs); BAL visits CLE
SEA 30, SF 23
Russell Wilson almost fully acclimated back from that finger injury; could fully break out next week
With Alex Collins (abdomen) out, Travis Homer steps up on limited touches; Adrian Peterson scores also
Tyler Lockett has come fully to life since Russell Wilson returned to the lineup
Jimmy Garoppolo solid but not even to get the win
Elijah Mitchell with a solid enough game
George Kittle has a monster performance; no Deebo Samuel (groin) in this one
Next up: SEA goes to HOU; SF heads to CIN
KC 22, DEN 9 (Sun night)
Patrick Mahomes with a bit of a headscratcher here; not a good one by his standards
Clyde Edwards-Helaire seeing some good volume which you like to see
Quiet games for Travis Kelce & Tyreek Hill
What you see is what you get with Teddy Bridgewater
Javonte Williams has a breakout performance while Melvin Gordon II (hip/shoulder)
Jerry Jeudy slowly coming around; so hard to fully trust the receiving corps thanks to Bridgewater's uneven play
Next up: KC hosts LV; DEN hosts DET
NE 14, BUF 10
The oddest game of the week, perhaps even the year
Mac Jones with only 3 attempted passes in which he completed 2 for 19 yards!
Bill Belichick decided that using the same formula that IND did a few weeks ago when Jonathan Taylor had the 5 TDs
Damien Harris with a terrific game but suffers a hamstring injury; Rhamondre Stevenson picks up the slack
Josh Allen has an awful game throwing in those blustery conditions
The BUF run game an utter mess in this game
Stefon Diggs with an OK game all things considered
Next up: NE on a bye; BUF visits TB
