It’s hard not to wonder whether the Cowboys are second-guessing their decision to let Dowdle walk in free agency. While Carolina leaned on him as the centerpiece of a dominant rushing effort, Dallas looked lost on the ground, unable to generate push or create space for its backs.

Aaron Rodgers threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns as the Steelers cruised past the Browns 23-9, extending Cleveland’s regular-season losing streak in Pittsburgh to 22 games.

The Saints snapped a four-game losing streak with a 26-14 win over the Giants, earning Kellen Moore his first victory as head coach and Spencer Rattler his first as a starting quarterback.

The Dolphins blew a 17-point first-quarter lead in a 27-24 loss to the Panthers, falling to 1-4 on the season.

A late Panthers touchdown and Miami’s failed final possession sealed an embarrassing collapse for a team still searching for consistency.

The Vikings edged the Browns 21–17 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Despite falling behind late, quarterback Carson Wentz led a fourth-quarter comeback, marching Minnesota down the field with key completions to wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
