TOUCHDOWN! Bills 7-0 Chiefs 7:00, 1st quarter
In all that madness I missed Buffalo taking the lead. I only have one pair of eyes sadly. Tight end Dalton Kincaid makes the 23-yard touchdown grab to put the Bills on top.

TOUCHDOWN! Bengals 42-47 Bears 0:17, 4th quarter
I have run out of adjectives that mean amazing. The Bears say sod the field goal and go for the home run. Caleb Williams takes a giant cut down field and Colston Loveland makes the grab and sprints home for a 58-yard score to retake the lead with only 17 seconds remaining.
For the Bengals Joe Flacco has 457 passing yards and Chicago have almost 600 yards of offense. Numbers. Sheer numbers.

TOUCHDOWN! Rams 7-0 Saints 6:18, 1st quarter
Tyler Higbee gives LA the early lead with a one-yard grab. They will have wanted a hot start and they got it.
Share
TOUCHDOWN! Bengals 42-41 Bears 0:54, 4th quarter
You have got to be kidding me. In the final game still playing the Bengals have just taken the lead over the Bears. I had taken my eye off the ball for the reason of Chicago holding a 14-point lead with two minutes remaining. Noah Fant put them within one score then they grab the onside kick (only the third converted by any team all season) and take the lead thanks to a Andrei Iosivas nine-yard grab.
Second week in a row the Bengals are involved in the game of the day. Defense, what defense? Stupendous shootout in Ohio.

Final scores: Texans 15-18 Broncos, Steelers 27-20 Colts
Denver force the punt then romp down the field to give Will Lutz a crack at the winner from 34 yards and he makes it! The Broncos had to dig deep to win with 11 unanswered points.
In Pittsburgh the Steelers come through with a thrilling upset for the home fans. Now they have to keep this momentum rolling on defense.

Final score: Lions 24-27 Vikings
Massive, massive win for the underdog Vikings in enemy territory. Huge day for Minnesota’s defense to limit Detroit’s formidable rushing attack to just 65 yards.

Texans 15-15 Broncos 1:21, 4th quarter
And they get the stop! Broncos punt after Bo Nix runs for his life from a marauding defender on 3rd down and has to throw it away.
Can Davis Mills lead the Texans to victory?

Texans 15-15 Broncos 2:00, 4th quarter
OK so we have not talked much about this one today but Houston QB CJ Stroud exited in the first quarter and the Texans have been surviving in this one with Davis Mills under center. Doing an admirable job in the face of Denver’s vicious defense.
Moving into the 2-minute drill and the Broncos are at midfield. Very well placed to get the walk-off field goal. Houston gunning for a big play here.

Final scores: Packers 13-16 Panthers, Patriots 24-23 Falcons
Another upset in week nine as Ryan Fitzgerald (Fitzmagic 2.0?) kicks the walkoff field goal from 49 yards while Atlanta suffer another stomach-churning defeat as the missed extra point costs them dearly. Ouch.

INTERCEPTION! Steelers 27-17 Colts 2:51, 4th quarter
Joey Porter Jr picks off Jones for Indi’s six turnover of the game that pretty much ties a big, beautiful ribbon on a big upset for Pittsburgh. Before that the Colts had their tails up after Pittsburgh had turned it over themselves with a very avoidable fumble. They get away with it … and how!

Final scores: Giants 24-34 49ers, Titans 20-27 Chargers
Great effort from the Titans to make it close but the Chargers’ superior offensive might keeps them in front for the win while McCaffrey dominates the Giants as he does most teams.

TOUCHDOWN! Bengals 27-41 Bears 4:57, 4th quarter
Cincinatti’s tiring defense continue to be shredded by Chicago. DJ Moore scores a very weird touchdown as the Bengals challenge a touchback the call is reversed and it blows up in there face! Chicago get the touchdown thanks to the challenge from the other team. Truly bizarre.
The Bears have over 500 yards of offense. 500! With 262 on the ground, backup rookie running back Kyle Monangai has 175 on 25 bruising carries.

TOUCHDOWN! Steelers 27-17 Colts 4:30, 4th quarter
Jalen Ramey delivers a brutal, if not horrifying hit on Michael Pittman. Essentially delivers a diving head butt on the receiver. Ther personal foul penalty moves the Colts to just four yards out from scoring. Jones bounces back from a poor first three quarters and change with an easy lobbed toss out right to Josh Downs. The four-yard floater keeps the Colts in the fight.

TOUCHDOWN! Giants 24-34 49ers 1:21, 4th quarter
I would have waived the fight off but Jaxson Dart keeps fighting. The rookie hits a player I have to google owing to a complicated name for the 24-yard touchdown. Gunner Olszewski makes the grab.

TOUCHDOWN! Packers 13-13 Panthers 2:01, 4th quarter
We now have two games levell as Josh Jacobs fires Green Bay’s equaliser in from one yard out. Game on. Can Bryce Young pull off a mighty win on the two-minute drill?

TOUCHDOWN! Patriots 24-23 Falcons 4:40, 4th quarter
Is another upset on the cards? Well not missing the extra point would have helped. However … Michael Penix and Drake London complete a hat-trick of QB/WR touchdowns with an eight-yard grab. John Parker Romo misses wide right. Falcons are back in it after trailing by 14.

Christian McCaffrey slices through the heart of New York’s defense for a three-yard rushing touchdown. Curtains for the G-men.

Steelers 24-10 Colts 8:51, 4th quarter
Alex Highsmith take a bow, son! The Colts came into this with only four giveaways all season. The Steelers earn a fifth turnover of this game thanks to a Highsmith strip sack that is recovered by Pittsburgh. This is genuinely a stupendous effort from a talent-rich but completely out of form unit. Spectacular.

So we’re in the fourth quarters now, and how are those upsets looking. The Steelers have just punted with a 24-10 lead after Indi nabbed a field goal, Carolina are shutting down Jordan Love with a 13-6 lead, the Vikings are sitting pretty 24-17 ahead of the Lions and plucky Houston were just on top of Denver who score the game tieing …
TOUCHDOWN! Texans 14-15 Broncos 8:51, 4th quarter
And go for two and GET IT! Big momentum shift in Houston as Bo Nix keeps his relationship with RJ Harvey rolling from last week with a 27-yard touchdown then hits Troy Franklin for the pair of points.

TOUCHDOWN! Giants 17-27 49ers 7:52, 4th quarter
Rookie QB Jaxson Dart gambols out to the right and makes it home to give the Giants some hope.

TOUCHDOWN! Bengals 27-31 Bears 1:57, 3rd quarter
Seriously!? The Bengals’ shocking defense now hands Brittain Brown a 22-yard rushing touchdown on his first carry as a Bear and of his career looking at ESPN. He suited up six times for the Raiders in 2022 but saw no action. Brown elevated off the practice squad owing to D’Andre Swift being out injured.

TOUCHDOWN! Bengals 27-24 Bears 5:19, 3rd quarter
Cincinatti retake the lead in their weekly shootout with old-timer Joe Flacco at the controls of this offense. The AFC North legend hits Higgins again for their second score for two yards.
TOUCHDOWN! Lions 14-24 Vikings 6:04, 3rd quarter
JJ McCarthy puts the game on his back on 3rd down and rips off a nine-yard scramble to give Minnesota a commanding lead. The Vikings will be thrilled by their young QB is playing on the road here.
TOUCHDOWN! Giants 10-27 49ers 11:35, 4th quarter
Brian Robinson Jr deuptises for McCaffrey in style with an 18-yard rush for the score. Big lead now for San Fran again working well with Mac Jones under center.

TOUCHDOWN! Steelers 24-7 Colts 14:16, 4th quarter
The Colts just cannot slow down this varied Pittsburgh attack after forcing them to punt on their opening three drives. Rodgers moves the Steelers to the goal line and inches from taking out a big lead after a lovely 18-yard sideline scamper by Austin and a pass to his favourite target of the day the 6ft 6in Washington for 13 yards. Running back Jaylen Warren finishes it off. Pittsburgh playing excellent complimentary football to score of the interception.

INTERCEPTION! Steelers 17-7 Colts 3:09, 3rd quarter
It just gets better and better for Pittsburgh!! The Colts go for it on 4th down again and our commentator handily points out they are the best in the NFL in this situation. Daniel Jones drops back and finds Michael Pittman in acres of space for a 16-yard gain and a fresh set of downs. Taylor then knifes ahead for nine. Indi appear to be building a head of steam until Jack Sawyer picks off Jones after Payton Wilson blocks the pass and it plops in Sawyers hands.
Four turnovers now for Pittsburgh!

Steelers 17-7 Colts 6:09, 3rd quarter
If the plan was to stop Jonathan Taylor and put the ball in Daniel Jones’ hands then it is working. The star running back has only 24 yards so far on 10 carries.

Steelers 17-7 Colts 7:03, 3rd quarter
Mountainous tight end Darnell Washington starts this drive with a wonderful catch reaching back behind him for a 12-yard gain then gathers another for seven. Two iffy running plays later we are on 4th down, Tomlin punts. Typical from the sage playcaller to stay conservative but could rue kicking it away there.
