Sam Darnold completed his first 17 passes and threw four first-half touchdowns as the Seattle Seahawks overwhelmed the Washington Commanders 38-14 on Sunday night. Darnold finished 21 of 24 for 330 yards, connecting twice with rookie Tory Horton and once each with Elijah Arroyo and Cody White as Seattle built a 31-7 halftime lead. The Seahawks improved to 6-2 to stay atop the NFC West, while Washington dropped its fourth straight and lost quarterback Jayden Daniels to a late arm injury.

The Rams' offense remained in rhythm against the lowly Saints, as Matthew Stafford threw for four touchdowns and Puka Nacua tallied 95 yards in his return from injury. Los Angeles' stout defense made life difficult for Tyler Shough in his first career start, containing New Orleans to 224 total yards.

The Jaguars picked up a much-needed victory by outlasting the Raiders 30-29 in overtime. Kicker Cam Little not only set an NFL record with a 68-yard boot, but also tied the game with 16 seconds remaining. A Trevor Lawrence rushing touchdown in the extra period was enough to mitigate three Brock Bowers touchdowns.

Josh Allen accounted for three touchdowns — two rushing and one passing — and went 23-of-26 for 273 yards to lead the Buffalo Bills past the Kansas City Chiefs 28-21.

Wil Lutz nailed a 34-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Denver Broncos over the Houston Texans 18-15 on Sunday. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix threw touchdown passes to Courtland Sutton and RJ Harvey and ran for 25 yards on the game-winning drive, while Denver’s defense held Houston to five field goals after C.J. Stroud exited with a concussion. The Broncos improved to 5-4 ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Raiders.

The Steelers halted the Colts' run of impressive play, forcing six turnovers in a 27-20 win.

The Detroit Lions stumbled out of their bye week, falling 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings in a mistake-filled divisional loss at Ford Field. Jared Goff threw a late touchdown to Jameson Williams, but a blocked field goal, a lost fumble by David Montgomery, and a dropped end-zone pass from Amon-Ra St. Brown proved costly. Minnesota’s blitz-heavy defense kept Goff off balance while J.J. McCarthy’s clutch third-down completion to Jalen Nailor sealed the Vikings’ win, dropping Detroit to 5-3.

The New England Patriots secured their seventh win of the season — already three more than in 2024.

Christian McCaffrey totaled 173 yards and scored twice as the San Francisco 49ers overpowered the New York Giants 34-24 on Sunday. McCaffrey ran for 106 yards and caught a touchdown pass from Mac Jones, who went 19 of 24 for 235 yards and two scores as the 49ers rebounded from last week’s loss in Houston. Brian Robinson Jr. added an 18-yard rushing TD, and San Francisco’s defense registered two sacks while holding New York in check until late in the game to move to 6-3.

Rico Dowdle and the Panthers' offense did just enough to upset the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 9.

Both the Giants and Colts draw favorable schematic matchups in Week 9, each positioned to exploit specific defensive weaknesses. New York’s man-heavy defense matches up well against a limited 49ers offense, while Indianapolis’ passing game — particularly Josh Downs — should thrive against Pittsburgh’s vulnerable man coverage unit.
