When the Buffalo Bills ventured into Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Monday night, many anticipated that arguably the NFL’s best team would return to its dominant ways after a surprising Week 5 loss. Instead, the Atlanta Falcons asserted their playoff competitiveness with an overwhelming 24-14 victory — fueled in large part by the team’s resurgent defense under new defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.

The Chiefs looked sharp on Sunday night, with Patrick Mahomes topping 250 passing yards and Travis Kelce adding 78 in a 30-17 win over the banged-up Lions. Kansas City’s offense found its rhythm to even its record at 3-3. The performance offered a reassuring glimpse of cohesion after early-season struggles.

Baker Mayfield delivered early fourth-quarter heroics to lead the Buccaneers past the 49ers, 30-19, improving Tampa Bay to 5-1. Mayfield threw two touchdown passes and extended a key drive with a spectacular third-and-14 scramble, setting up a 45-yard strike to rookie Tez Johnson for the clinching score. San Francisco, already banged up, lost star linebacker Fred Warner to a season-ending ankle injury, while Mac Jones threw for 347 yards but was picked off twice in the loss.

The Carolina Panthers are officially on a win streak. While their rushing attack and young weapons deserve plenty of credit, the run defense's turnaround has been a major factor.

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.

Seattle dominated in the trenches, sacking Trevor Lawrence seven times and holding Travis Etienne to just 27 rushing yards, while Smith-Njigba’s 61-yard score — burning new corner Greg Newsome — highlighted the day.
