The Cardinals (2-4) lost their fourth straight game despite three touchdown passes from reserve QB Jacoby Brissett, who also passed for 320 yards and had one interception playing for injured starter Kyler Murray.

The Los Angeles Rams (4-2) stuffed the host Baltimore Ravens, 17-3 behind solid defense, which forced three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception) and had four sacks. Rams QB Matthew Stafford threw a TD pass and RB Kyren Williams added a three-yard scoring run in the third quarter to break a 3-3 halftime tie. The Ravens fell to 1-5 as they were without many starters again, including QB Lamar Jackson who missed his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury.
In Pittsburgh, the Steelers (4-1) dominated the Cleveland Browns, 23-9 with QB Aaron Rodgers tossing two scoring passes and he also had 235 passing yards in the win. The Pittsburgh defense had six sacks and the Browns (1-5) managed only three field goals in the loss.
Carolina improved to 3-3 this year with a 30-27 thriller over the visiting Dallas Cowboys (2-3-1) as running back Rico Dowdle had a huge game, amassing a team record 239 yards from scrimmage (183 rushing, 56 receiving yards) and also scored a touchdown to lead the way. The game was back and forth and Panthers kicker Ryan Fitzgerald made the game winning 33-yard field goal as time expired. Panthers QB Bryce Young had three TD passes as did Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, who was also picked off once in the loss.
The Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) blew a 13-point fourth quarter lead, but managed to drive 44 yards in 36 seconds to set up the game winning 33-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker (five-for-five on field goals in the game) for a 29-27 road win against the Miami Dolphins. The key play was a 42-yard pass to WR Ladd McConkey (seven receptions, 100 yards and one TD) as Chargers QB Justin Herbert had a pair of TD passes along with 264 passing yards. Chargers RB Kimani Vidal rushed for 124 yards on 18 carries and also hauled in a seven-yard scoring pass to help pace the offense. The Dolphins (1-5) rallied for two fourth quarter touchdowns and they took a 27-26 lead with just 41 seconds remaining when QB Tua Tagovailoa (205 passing yards, one TD, three INT) found tight end Darren Waller wide open for a seven-yard TD pass. Miami RB De'Von Achane scored two touchdowns and rushed for 128 yards on 16 carries in defeat.
The Green Bay Packers (3-1-1) knocked off the visiting Cincinnati Bengals, 27-18 as they piled up 408 yards in offense with RB Josh Jacobs (93 yards on 18 carries) scoring twice on the ground and QB Jordan Love passing for another score. The Bengals (2-4) dropped their fourth game in a row as QB Joe Flacco had two TD passes in the loss.
The New England Patriots (4-2) bested the host New Orleans Saints, 25-19 behind three TD passes from QB Drake Maye (261 passing yards) in a game that featured 19 penalties. The Saints (1-5) only TD came from Taysom Hill on a rushing score and kicker Blake Grupe added four field goals in the setback.
In Jacksonville, the Seattle Seahawks (4-2) knocked off the Jaguars, 20-12 behind two TD passes from QB Sam Darnold (295 passing yards) and a defense that sacked Jags QB Trevor Lawrence seven times and limited Jacksonville to only 59 rushing yards. The Jaguars (4-2) took a 6-0 lead in the first quarter on a 21-yard TD strike from Lawrence (258 passing yards, two TD) to WR Brian Thomas, but didn't score again until the fourth quarter on another scoring pass.
In London, England, the Denver Broncos (4-2) survived against the winless New York Jets (0-6) for a 13-11 victory to improve to 4-2 this season. The only touchdown in the defensive struggle came on a 16-yard pass play from Denver QB Bo Nix to WR Nate Adkins for a 10-6 halftime edge. The Jets scored on three field goals from Nick Folk and a safety on defense via Denver holding penalty in their own end zone. The Broncos defense sacked Jets QB Justin Fields NINE times and limited the Jets to just 82 total yards in offense, which included minus-10 net passing yards.
The Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) won at home, 20-10 against the Tennessee Titans (1-5) as rookie RB Ashton Jeanty scored a rushing TD and a four-yard TD pass from QB Geno Smith to WR Michael Mayer. The Las Vegas defense had six sacks and also forced three turnovers, all by Titans rookie QB Cam Ward (two fumbles, one interception) that helped set up a touchdown and the other one in the fourth quarter that essentially ended any chance the Titans had of making a comeback in the game. Ward threw a scoring pass in the final quarter with 3:03 left, but on the next possession turned it over with his second fumble of the game. The Titans fired Head Coach Brian Callahan following the game.
Monday Night Football in Atlanta turned out to be the Bijan Robinson show as the Falcons won, 24-14 against the Buffalo Bills (4-2) with Robinson rushing for 170 yards. Robinson scored on an 81-yard run for a 21-7 halftime lead. The Falcons (3-2) piled up 443 yards in offense, including 210 on the ground while the defense had four sacks and intercepted two passes. Bills QB Josh Allen passed for 180 yards and two touchdowns, but the two picks thrown proved to be too much to overcome.
The second Monday night game saw the Chicago Bears pull out a 25-24 win against the host Washington Commanders (3-3) when kicker Jake Moody, who made four field goals in the win, drilled a 38-yard boot as time ran out. The Bears (3-2) jumped out 13-0 as QB Caleb Williams (252 passing yards, one TD) scored on a one-yard run. The Commanders eventually would go ahead 17-16 in the third quarter when QB Jayden Daniels (211 passing yards, three TD, one INT) hit WR Luke McCaffrey for a 33-yard touchdown pass. A third TD pass from Daniels to tight end Zach Ertz made it 24-16. The Bears fought back when Williams found RB D'Andre Swift (108 rushing yards, 67 receiving yards) for a 55-yard scoring pass to get to within 24-22 with 10:26 left to play. The Bears defense recovered a second fumble with three minutes left, setting up the drive for the game winning field goal.
