The Denver Broncos staged one of the most remarkable comebacks in NFL history, overturning a 19-0 fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the New York Giants 33-32. Wil Lutz nailed a 39-yard field goal as time expired to seal the improbable win, ending a streak of 1,602 consecutive games in which teams leading by at least 18 points in the final six minutes had gone on to win.
Bo Nix led the late surge with three total touchdowns, including an 18-yard keeper that briefly gave Denver a 30-26 lead. Despite a late Giants touchdown putting New York ahead 32-30, a missed extra point proved costly, allowing the Broncos one last chance to drive for the game-winner. The comeback coincided with the team’s halftime ceremony honoring the late Demaryius Thomas, making the victory even more emotional for home fans.
Elsewhere, the Philadelphia Eagles snapped a two-game skid with a 28-22 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Jalen Hurts passed for 326 yards and three touchdowns, including two to AJ Brown, while DeVonta Smith exploded for 183 receiving yards. The Eagles improved to 5-2, rediscovering the offensive rhythm that fueled their Super Bowl run last season.
In Dallas, the Cowboys cruised past the Washington Commanders 44-22, with Dak Prescott tossing three touchdowns and CeeDee Lamb returning from injury to post 110 receiving yards. Defensively, DaRon Bland returned an interception for a touchdown, marking another standout performance for the opportunistic Cowboys secondary.
The Los Angeles Rams dominated the Jacksonville Jaguars 35-7 at Wembley Stadium, with Matthew Stafford throwing five touchdowns—three of them to Davante Adams—as the Rams improved to 5-2, their best start since their 2021 championship season. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs dismantled the Las Vegas Raiders 31-0 behind Patrick Mahomes’ three touchdown passes and a resurgent performance from Rashee Rice in his return from suspension.
Other notable results included the Indianapolis Colts moving to an AFC-best 6-1 after a 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, while the New England Patriots defeated the Tennessee Titans 31-13 to stay atop the AFC East. The Cleveland Browns ended their three-game losing streak with a dominant 31-6 victory over the Miami Dolphins, and the San Francisco 49ers capped the week with a 20-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons, powered by Christian McCaffrey’s 201-yard performance.
