In the Sunday night game in Dallas, the Cowboys (10-3) buried the Philadelphia Eagles, 33-13 behind two TD passes from QB Dak Prescott (271 passing yards) and four field goals by kicker Brandon Aubrey, including a 60-yarder. The Eagles (10-3) lost their second straight game and managed just two field goals and a defensive touchdown by Jalen Carter on a 42-yard fumble return to get to within 24-13 in the third quarter. Dallas' win was their 15th consecutive at home.
The San Francisco 49ers (10-3) inched closer to a spot in the NFC playoffs with a 28-16 win at home against the staggering Seattle Seahawks (6-7), who dropped their fourth straight game.

The Colts (7-6) rallied back from 14-0 down to tie the game at the half thanks to a TD pass from QB Gardner Minshew and a 36-yard "pick six" TD on an interception by Ronnie Harrison, Jr., but the the second half was all Cincinnati as their defense limited the Colts to just 46 rushing yards and recorded three sacks.
The New York Jets (5-8) shellacked the visiting Houston Texans, 30-6 to snap their five game losing streak as Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud was knocked out of the game (concussion) while Jets much maligned QB Zach Wilson threw for two touchdowns to help pace the rout. The Jets defense held Houston to a meager 135 yards in total offense.
The Baltimore Ravens (10-3) outlasted the Los Angeles Rams, 37-31 in overtime as Tylan Wallace (pictured right) took a punt back 76 yards for the winning touchdown.

The Minnesota Vikings (7-6) beat the host Las Vegas Raiders, 3-0 as kicker Greg Joseph made a 36-yard field goal with 1:57 left to play in the fourth quarter. The Raiders (5-8) managed only 202 yards in offense while the Vikings had 231 yards in total offense.
The Denver Broncos defense recorded six QB sacks and knocked Los Angeles Chargers starting QB Justin Herbert (hand injury) out of the game in a 24-7 win that improved their record to 7-6 while the 'Bolts fell to 5-8 with their fourth loss in the last five games. Denver QB Russell Wilson had a pair of scoring passes while Javonte Williams had a rushing touchdown. L.A. running back Austin Ekeler scored on a three-yard run in the fourth quarter to help his team avoid being shut out.
The New Orleans Saints (6-7) forged a three-way tie for first place in the weak NFC South division with a 28-6 home triumph against the hapless Carolina Panthers (1-12) as RB Alvin Kamara scored a rushing touchdown along with two TD passes by QB Derek Carr and a blocked punt for another score. Carolina actually out gained the Saints (314-207) in total yardage, but couldn't crack the end zone.
In Atlanta, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-7) won a 29-25 game against the Falcons (6-7) when QB Baker Mayfield threw an 11-yard scoring pass to tight end Cade Otton with 31 seconds remaining in regulation.

The loss knocked Miami out of the top spot in the AFC playoff race.
The New York Giants beat the visiting Green Bay Packers, 24-22 on a 37-yard field goal by Randy Bullock as time expired to improve to 5-8 this season. The Packers (6-7) saw their three game winning streak snapped as they allowed the Giants to drive downfield for the winning kick after they had rallied back from a 21-13 deficit with a six-yard TD pass from QB Jordan Love to Malik Heath (with 1:33 remaining) which followed a 48-yard field goal by Anders Carlson.
