In Baltimore, the host Ravens (7-3) coughed up a 14-point lead to the Cleveland Browns (6-3) and lost 33-31 when Dustin Hopkins drilled a game winning 38-yard field goal as time ran out to atone for a missed PAT kick that created the 31-30 deficit. The Ravens roared out to a 14-0 lead with defensive back Kyle Hamilton taking an interception back 18 yards for a TD and Keaton Mitchell going 39 yards for a score. The Browns battled back with a TD run by Kareem Hunt and a TD pass by QB Deshaun Watson and then a pick six TD on a 34 -yard return interception by Greg Newsome with 8:16 left in the fourth quarter. Gus Edwards added a scoring run and QB Lamar Jackson threw a 40-yard TD pass to Odell Beckham, Jr. for Baltimore.
The surprising Houston Texans improved to 5-4 as they bested the host Cincinnati Bengals, 30-27 on a 38-yard field goal by Matt Ammendola as time ran out. The Texans led 27-17 early in the fourth quarter when quarterback C.J. Stroud (356 passing yards, one TD, one INT) ran eight yards for a touchdown.

| The 49ers defense dominated the Jags. |
The San Francisco 49ers (6-3) routed the host Jacksonville Jaguars, 34-3 as their defense had four takeaways (two interceptions and two fumble recoveries) and five quarterback sacks in the easy win. 49ers QB Brock Purdy had three TD passes and the defense did the rest.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) won at home against the Tennessee Titans, 20-6 with QB Baker Mayfield tossing two scoring passes while the defense limited the Titans (3-6) to 209 total yards in offense to go along with four sacks.
In a yawner over in Frankfurt, Germany, the Indianapolis Colts (5-5) beat the hapless New England Patriots, 10-6 as RB Jonathan Taylor scored a rushing TD and the defense picked off two passes and had five sacks. The Patriots slipped to 2-8 this season and starting QB Mac Jones was benched late in the game.
On Thursday night in Chicago, the Bears (3-7) won, 16-13 against the Carolina Panthers (1-8) behind three field goals by Cairo Santos and a four-yard TD run by running back D'Onta Foreman. The Panthers lone touchdown came in the first quarter on a 79-yard punt return by Ihmir Smith-Marstte.
The Dallas Cowboys (6-3) rolled past the visiting New York Giants, 49-17 as QB Dak Prescott had 404 passing yards along with four touchdowns and a rushing score as well as Dallas racked up an eye popping 640 yards against the Giants (2-8).

The Sunday night game in Las Vegas went in favor of the host Raiders (5-5) as they toppled the New York Jets, 16-12. Raiders QB Aidan O'Connell had a TD pass and RB Josh Jacobs ran for 116 yards while kicker Daniel Carlson made three field goals to provide the difference. The Jets (4-5) out gained the Raiders but managed just four field goals in the loss as they were held without a touchdown for the second straight game.
On Monday Night Football, the Denver Broncos (4-5) surprised the slumping Buffalo Bills, 24-22 when Will Lutz made a 36-yard field goal (after missing a 41-yard try) as time ran out for their third straight win. The Bills (5-5) were penalized for having too many players on the field on the missed field goal and dropped their third game in the last four. Broncos QB Russell Wilson had two TD passes in the win while Bills QB Josh Allen ran for a score and also threw for a touchdown, but also had two interceptions while the team had four turnovers that helped cause them to lose the game.
