Redskins 24
Eagles 34 OK Skins fans … time for another Good News/Bad News entry: Good News: Kirk Cousins is like a Manning. Bad News: He’s like Archie, the last QB to start his career 0-6 on Monday Night Football. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)

Falcons 7
Patriots 23 It’s a good thing the fog rolled into New England for this Super Bowl rematch so Matt Ryan couldn’t see the Patriots score 54 unanswered points between the two games, and up the defending champs’ record to 6-2 in Super Bowl rematches the following season.  Good thing the Falcons .

Ravens 16
Vikings 24 Dalvin who? Minnesota may be  but they’re doing so thanks to a run game that’s still churning up over 146 yards per game since the Dalvin Cook injury. It’s hard not to think the NFC North belongs to the Vikings now. (Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty Images)
MIAMI GARDENS, FL - OCTOBER 22:  Josh McCown #15 of the New York Jets tackled by Jordan Phillips #97 and Terrence Fede #78 of the Miami Dolphins during the third quarter at Hard Rock Stadium on October 22, 2017 in Miami Gardens, Florida.  (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
Jets 28
Dolphins 31  fell short but Miami rose from the dead in the fourth quarter despite losing Jay Cutler, forcing two Jets turnovers and holding Gang Green to -4 yards. So much for that  in New York. (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images)
LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 22: Brittain Golden #10 of the Arizona Cardinals challenges for the ball with the Kavon Webster #21 of the Los Angeles Rams during the NFL match between the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams at Twickenham Stadium on October 22, 2017 in London, England.

Cardinals 0
Rams 33 Good news, bad news for Arizona: Good – The Cardinals streak of lose-a-game, win-a-game is about to end. Bad – Carson Palmer’s  means they won’t be winning many more games this season. (Photo by Alan Crowhurst/Getty Images)

Colts 0 Jacksonville’s defense  and pitched its first shutout in 11 years, while  after their third loss by 27+ points. We just saw the vast difference between the best and worst teams in the AFC South. (Photo by Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Titans 12
Browns 9 (OT) If by “” DeShone Kizer means “” then Cleveland’s  seems destined to continue. The Browns lead the NFL with 17 interceptions and seem like a lock to top 20 picks — regardless of who plays QB — when they face the swarming Vikings defense next week in London. (AP Photo/David Richard)

Panthers 3
Bears 17 In what was supposed to be a QB battle between  vs. the , Eddie Jackson stole the show  by becoming the first player in NFL history to score two defensive touchdowns of 75+ yards in a single game, and the first in a decade to run back a fumble and a pick in the same game. Considering Chicago is the first team in 67 years to win a game with seven or fewer pass attempts and five or fewer first downs, the Bears need to get more from Mitch Trubisky and that offense in New Orleans next week.

Bucs 27
Bills 30 LeSean McCoy  by rushing for 91 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-tying score late in the fourth quarter. Shady better keep up that production if Buffalo is going to stay on course for a wild card berth. (Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images)
OAKLAND, CA - OCTOBER 19:  Amari Cooper #89 of the Oakland Raiders catches a 38-yard pass for a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs during their NFL game at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on October 19, 2017 in Oakland, California.  (Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)
Chiefs 30
Raiders 31 What. A. Game. In a showcase of excellent team speed on both offenses, Kareem Hunt became just the second player in NFL history to tally 1,000 scrimmage yards in his first seven career games, Amari Cooper became the first Raider in over 50 years to top 200 receiving yards in a game, Alex Smith stayed on course for MVP, and Derek Carr threw the NFL’s first TD on an untimed down to end the fourth quarter since Aaron Rodgers’ Hail Mary of 2015. Throw in Marshawn Lynch going Beast Mode on a ref (and then ) and the luckiest catch we’ve seen in years— and the NFL finally had their best game of the week in the leadoff spot. (Photo by Thearon W.
