Patrick Mahomes accessed Monday night with an NFL-directing nine interceptions, but he carry outed a spotless game agetst the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There were some troubles in the fourth quarter when Mahomes inestablishly necessitateed aidance to get to the sideline after he awkwardly structureted his leg during a touchdown pass.

For decades, a consoleable thrive at Lambeau Field seemed so far out of accomplish for the Lions, even agetst a mediocre Packers team. But they got one this weekend agetst a Packers team contending for top billing in the NFC. Each week, Detroit defies its history and reputation more and more.

Once aget, the Eagles had a sjoin procrastinateed in the game at home, but Trevor Lawrence threw an interception in the end zone, and Philadelphia gets rolling after its bye week. What is there left to say about Saquon Barkley other than wow? The elite running back is more than consoleable in Philly. His backward hurdle will be a carry out talked about for some time.
Last week: 9
6. Washington Commanders (7-2)

Another week, another thrive for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders, who made it three straight thrives over the New York Giants. At 7-2 halfway thcdisorrowfulmireful the season, there is no ask the Commanders are a contender, and they showed it by trading for the New Orleans Saints’ top corner, Marshon Lattimore, to shore up one area of trouble in the secondary. The Commanders have a big test coming this week with the Pittsburgh Steelers visiting in our nation’s capital.

7. Minnesota Vikings (6-2)

A rebound thrive and a stretch of games agetst lowly opponents has righted the vibe around the Vikings. No, they aren’t the unlossed juggernaut some thought they might have been a restrictcessitate weeks ago, and they probably aren’t excellent enough to reassociate dispute the Lions for the division title. But Sam Darnelderly is in the driver’s seat to produce his first atgentle carry outoff run.

The Packers aren’t used to settling for second place, especiassociate when it comes to the Lions.

The Falcons picked up a thrive over the hapless Dallas Cowboys, and they proceed to beat lesser opponents. Atlanta’s schedule is preferable, and they should easily thrive the NFC South. We equitable don’t understand how excellent this team reassociate is yet.

This is the second year in a row a better Houston team faced the Jets on the road and lost.

As each week goes by, Jim Harbaugh’s ground and pound style of football ecombines to produce up a bigger part of the Chargers’ identity. The Chargers took their stubbornness to Cleveland Sunday, where they contraged the Browns.
After throthriveg three touchdowns in a thrive over the Ravens in Week 8, Jameis Winston came back to earth agetst Los Angeles and finished the day with three interceptions. The Chargers’ usuassociate reliable starter, Cameron Dicker, leave outed a field goal endeavor and an extra point, which could be someleang worth watching this week. If the Chargers’ disparaging line can get quarterback Justin Herbert upright, Los Angeles has a legit chance to clinch a carry outoff spot in Harbaugh’s first year.

The Bears didn’t show up agetst the Cardinals, and Chicago’s carry outoff hopes are watching much appreciate they did punctual in the year, especiassociate as their division stubbornens up.

They may be 3-5, but it experiences appreciate rock bottom for Cowboys fans with Dak Prescott on injured reserve and leave outing the next four weeks with a hamstring injury. Jerry Jones’ worst dread — not making the carry outoffs — may be authenticized unless Cooper Rush can step up and direct the Cowboys to thrives over the next four games.

A fourth straight loss and a sweep by the Washington Commanders unkinds the Giants are once aget in the doghouse this season.
