PICK! Cowboys 27-23 Colts, final score
Dallas escape with the W after Daniel Jones is intercepted by Caleb Downs. They desperately needed that with the Giants winning.
SAINTS WIN! Browns 22-23 Saints
S Sanders to H Fannin for 39 yards
You can’t make this up. Some more abject Saints tackling lets the giant tight end Harold Fannin stumble into the end zone for a 39-yard touchdown. Cleveland go for two and it is NO GOOD! Saints WIN! Shadeur Sanders’ pass hits the deck and that is that. Brutal way to lose an epic in New Orleans.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 27-23 Colts 1:08, 4th quarter
J Williams one yard rush
Javonte Williams dashes for eight yards to grab a 1st and Goal for Dallas. A regrettable pass interference penalty on the next play puts the Cowboys one yard out from the end zone. Indy just let him score so they have some time to go and win it themselves.
Cowboys 20-23 Colts 1:19, 4th quarter
Dak goes deep on the opening play and hits Ryan Flournoy for 46 yards!!. They’re in the red zone just like that with loads of time to get the game winning score.
Final score: Giants 19-11 Eagles
Philadelphia sink to their seventh defeat in succession. Ouch.
It’s GOOD! Cowboys 20-23 Colts 1:37, 4th quarter
S Shrader 50 yard field goal
Here we go then Dak Prescott. 97 seconds to drag Dallas back into it.
TOUCHDOWN! Browns 16-23 Saints 4:17, overtime
T Shough to J Johnson for 15 yards
New Orleans score in OT but as it was the first possession Cleveland have a chance to tie it up or win with a two-point conversion after a touchdown.
Cowboys 20-20 Colts 1:45, 4th quarter
And they burn their final timeout quickly as Daniel Jones scrambles and sits down in bounds. On 3rd and 8 the pass is incomplete. Field goal on the way.
Cowboys 20-20 Colts 1:54, 4th quarter
At the two-minute warning, Indy are about 35 yards away from handing the Cowboys another heartbreaking defeat. Dallas have one timeout left.
Final score: Broncos 26-21 Panthers, Rams 20-13 Commanders
Denver survive a crazy finish in Carolina to stay top of the AFC West on 7-2 while the LA Rams move to 5-4 and up to second in the NFC West. Myles Garrett enjoyed his return to action with three sacks, three tackles for a loss and three QB hits. Monster.
Final score: Jets 12-35 Chiefs
Kansas City are back to winning ways and about time to with Denver about to extend their winning streak to five games.
PANTHERS FUMBLE! Broncos 26-21 Panthers 1:18, 4th quarter
Nick Bonito gets to Bryce Young and knocks the ball loose. The Panthers had moved to midfield but the linebacker has likely won the game for Denver there. Brilliant play.
Browns 16-16 Saints 0:08, 4th quarter
A Szmyt 65 yard field goal
An absolute CANNON from the Browns kicker levels it up. This one is going to OT.
It’s GOOD! Cowboys 20-20 Colts 5:56, 4th quarter
S Shrader 59 yard field goal
Ooooh BOY! It’s on baby. Dallas were cruising 20-10 ahead and have got tight again a week after their crazy overtime loss to Arizona. Could they do it again?
FUIMBLE! Broncos 26-21 Panthers 2:00, 4th quarter
WHAT?! Jonah Coleman juggles the handoff and fumbles but manages to recover the ball! Denver lose 18 yards and have to punt. Unbelievable, that could have been a scoop and score. Carolina though still have a great shot at the victory.
TOUCHDOWN! Browns 13-16 Saints 0:58, 4th quarter
A Estime two yard rush
They picked him up off the street this week and he’s handed the Saints the lead with less than a minute to play. The rest of the AFC North thanks you Audric.
TOUCHDOWN! Broncos 26-21 Panthers 3:05, 4th quarter
B Young to T McMillian for four yards
GAME ON! Carolina are back in the fight after the quickfire 2min 36sec drive for 64 yards. Panthers still have three timeouts.
TOUCHDOWN! Jets 12-35 Chiefs 3:35, 4th quarter
E Johnson six yard rush
The Chiefs have just blown the Jets away in the second half. They are winning 21-0 after the break.
FUMBLE! Cowboys 20-17 Colts 9:48, 4th quarter
OK I can’t resist. Indy are in the red zone after the Cowboys give up a penalty to take their total yards given away to 138. Call that a jinx as Quinnen Williams tackles Jonathan Taylor and forces the Indianapolis fumble. COWBOYS BALL!
Final score: Lions 19-9 Dolphins
Jared Goff kneels on it to move Detroit to 6-2 level with the Bears in the NFC North while Minnesota sit top at 6-1. Not especially pretty but they all count.
Rams 20-13 Commanders 5:26, 4th quarter
Let’s head to Washington with Denver looking close to home and hosed in Carolina. The Rams have just punted to the Commanders and there is a flag on the play. An illegal block pushes them back to around their 12-yard line. Long way to go for Jayden Daniels, but lots of clock to work with to get back on level terms.
Broncos 26-14 Panthers 5:41, 4th quarter
B Nix to P Bryant for 26 yards
The fourth-quarter king is still cooking. Bo Nix uncorks the easiest of throws to Pat Bryant who finds himself alone in the end zone after some broken coverage from Carolina.

Browns 13-9 Saints
Giants 16-8 Eagles
Rams 20-13 Commanders
Most of the action is hovering between 10 and 5 minutes remaining while there is the whole of the final quarter to go in Indianapolis.
Cleveland have just retaken the lead with a 64-yard touchdown throw from Shadeur Sanders to KC Concepcion. A Saints defender was right on the receiver and just ran right by him and the rookie then ran about 30 yards in for the score. Shocker from the Saints.
SACK! Broncos 19-14 Panthers 8:41, 4th quarter
Chopping and changing around the league has me missing Carolina going three and out. Jonathon Cooper brings down Bryce Young to force a Panthers punt.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 20-17 Colts 1:17, 3rd quarter
D Jones to A Dulin for 55 yards
Oh ooooo Dallas. Another heart-breaking loss on the way? Indy back in the contest after the rangy run on a short pass to Ashton Dulin.
TOUCHDOWN! Rams 20-13 Commanders 11:35, 4th quarter
M Stafford to P Nacua for seven yards
Who else? LA back in front as their swiss-army receiver grabs a touchdown to add to his 150 yards receiving. Incredible numbers.
TOUCHDOWN! Broncos 19-14 Panthers 10:16, 4th quarter
J Coleman nine yard rush
Denver go 14 plays and 80 yards to retake the lead after the amazing Devon Key interception. The momentum is swinging wildly in this cracker in Carolina. The Broncos miss the two-point conversion.
Broncos 13-14 Panthers 7:06, 4th quarter
Chau Smith-Wade breaks up what would have been a touchdown for the Broncos with an incredible jump to bat down the pass. On 3rd and 6 Bo Nix finds Troy Franklin on the sideline to bring up 1st and Goal. Lead change on the way>
The Devon Key interception for Denver. Unreal.

K Walker two yard rush
K9 has his hat-trick. Total domination from the Chiefs running back.
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 13-8 Eagles 2:25, 3rd quarter
J Winston to I Likely for five yards
JJ McCarthy exits with an injury and Jameis Winston enters to put the Giants ahead. Seemless.

Still tight as knicker elastic across most the NFL.
Broncos 13-14 Panthers 0:21, 3rd quarter
Even Devon Key had no idea he had made an interception. He didn’t celebrate. Anyway the Broncos are driving and have a 1st down after a short throw to Pat Bryant. Denver need to go about 60 yards.
PICK! Broncos 13-14 Panthers 1:35, 3rd quarter
Ouch. Carolina are on the one-yard line after a blatant pass interference call on Jahdae Barron. They go for the pass on 1st down with some trickery but it doesn’t work out. Just dish it to Chuba, surely?! Hubbard gets denied, maybe not.
Wait!!!! Is that SEAN PAYTON’s music! The head coach challenges the previous play for an interception. The ball bounces off Tommy Trembles leg and then is just picked up by Devon Key before it hits the deck. It is going to be an interception. They are reviewing … it is!
What an insane sequence. They really should have run the ball on 1st down. Did Pete Carroll teach them nothing?
Broncos 13-14 Panthers 2:21, 3rd quarter
Carolina are starting to wear out Denver now with the running game. Chuba Hubbard runs straight over a defender for 10 yards. Young then finds Waller again and the Panthers are about 12 yards from the end zone. They are just playing lights out right now. The Broncos are in deep trouble.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 16-6 Dolphins 1:20, 3rd quarter
J Gibbs eight yard rush
On 4th and 1 the Lions swing for the fences and give it to their home run hitter Jahmyr Gibbs. I think those analogies make sense … anyway he speeds out wide to the right, finds the edge and races in for the score. That is Gibbs’ 11th touchdown of the season. He only needs two more to over take Terrell Davis on 61 scores in the first four seasons of a career. The Lions running back is something truly special.
Broncos 13-14 Panthers 6:20, 3rd quarter
Bryce Young is on fire right now. He hits John Metchie on the sideline with a perfectly timed pass then finds Jalen Coker with a quick release as he evades a sack. Just too good from the young quarterback. Carolina are at their own 40-yard line on 2nd down.
SACK! Broncos 13-14 Panthers 8:46, 3rd quarter
Denver are quickly into the 3rd and long and is rocked!!! Patrick Jones delays his pass rush and brings the QB down. This game has turned completely on its head and the crowd are loving it. Bryce Young will be out to extend the lead with 87 yards to travel.
TOUCHDOWN! Jets 12-21 Chiefs 10:20, 3rd quarter
P Mahomes to T Kelce for one yard
Taylor Swift is enjoying that one. The tight end takes the shovel pass and smashes over for the score on 4th down. Jets need more than field goals now.
TOUCHDOWN! Broncos 13-14 Panthers 11:30, 3rd quarter Denver keep tabs on Carolina in the red zone and bring up 3rd and 9. Young unleashes a fastball to Darren Waller who races from right to left across the face of the end zone. The big tight end leaps, comes down with it and Carolina have the lead!! The 34-year-old Waller seriously rolling back the years.
TOUCHDOWN! Rams 13-10 Commanders 11:29, 3rd quarter
B Corum two yard rush
Another team struggling in the first half is off to the races after the break. Blake Corum finishes off the eight play, 69 yard drive.
Broncos 13-7 Panthers 14:04, 3rd quarter
A 21-yard pass to Darren Waller and 10-yard rush from Chuba Hubbard get Carolina off to an electric start after the break. They keep the momentum rolling with a 10-yard throw to Mitchell Evans. 25 yards to go for the lead in three plays.
It’s GOOD! Lions 9-3 Dolphins 9:14, 3rd quarter
J Bates 33 yard field goal
A false start penalty kills the drive and the Lions settle for three points. Jared Goff misses an easy throw into the turf with the NFL’s best offense looking anything but.
PICK! Lions 6-3 Dolphins 10:54, 3rd quarter
The Lions intercept Malik Willis and are knocking on the door of the red zone after the run back by Chuck Clark. On 3rd and short, who else? Jahmyr Gibbs skates over the line to gain for the 1st down. 14 yards to go for a Detroit touchdown.
TOUCHDOWN! Cowboys 17-7 Colts, half-time
D Prescott to C Lamb for 44 yards
Wooooo! Dak Prescott goes bombs away to a wide open CeeDee Lamb who beats the chasing defender on the goalline for the touchdown!

Some pretty filthy games out there but everything is very tight. Lot’s of lead changes to come, please, football gods!
Jets 12-14 Chiefs 12:51, half-time
Jason Sanders misses a field goal on his fifth try and Mahomes is BACK quickly to help move the Chiefs into field goal range. Harrison Butker misses the boot and gets another go and misses again. Both just wide right. That can’t be good with Justin Tucker waiting to replace him on the practice squad.
It’s GOOD! Broncos 13-7 Panthers 0:04, 2nd quarter
W Lutz 48 yard field goal
So close! The ball bounces off Troy Franklin’s hands for what would have been a touchdown. They take the field goal.
Mahomes hurt on sack Patrick Mahomes gets sacked on consecutive plays and is holding an arm as he walks off to the sideline. KC desperately hoping it isn’t serious.
Broncos 10-7 Panthers 0:20 2nd quarter
Denver cruise into field goal range. You can’t make mistakes like that with a defense as soft as Carolina’s. All the air immediately out of the balloon after scoring on an impressive drive.
Broncos 10-7 Panthers 1:27, 2nd quarter
Oh no. Big mistake from Carolina as kicker Ryan Fitzgerald continues his rubbish day at the office by booting it out of bounds. Denver on their 40 with lots of time to extend their lead.
TOUCHDOWN! Broncos 10-7 Panthers 1:27, 2nd quarter
B Young to T Tremble for 10 yards
WOW! The big tight end goes up high in the left side of the end zone and just comes down in bounds. Incredible catch from Tommy Tremble. Bryce Young cashes in on the Bo Nix interception on 14 play, 86-yard drive. Game on!
Broncos 10-0 Panthers 1:35, 2nd quarter
Riley Moss has joined Jaylen Waddle in being evaluated for concussions for the Broncos. On 3rd and 9 the Panthers get 8 with a pass to Waller. What are they going to do? They’re gambling. Chuba Hubbard finds the gap to the left and rips off 24 yards!!! What a play! Almost 1st and Goal for Carolina.
Jets 12-14 Chiefs 2:16, 2nd quarter
J Sanders 54 yard field goal
Field goals are keeping the Jets in the fight as Jason Sanders bags his fourth of the day.
Broncos 10-0 Panthers 2:14, 2nd quarter
On 3rd and 17 Bryce Young slings one for 20 yards to Tet McMilliand then pushes the Panthers over midfield with a 10-yard slant to Darren Waller.
TOUCHDOWN! Jets 9-14 Chiefs 5:37, 1st quarter
P Mahomes to K Walker for 25 yards
The QB and running back hook up again to retake the lead. Kenneth Walker takes the dump off short throw and rumbles the rest of the way. Quick strike after the Jets fumble.
Jets 9-7 Chiefs 6:21, 2nd quarter
Wrong then! Braelon Allen fumbles it to the Chiefs on the first play of the drive. Great peanut punch from Nick Bolton to shake the ball loose.
