The Carolina Panthers (3-2) did what any opportunistic football team does when its opponent is held together with tape and hope: they feasted. Bryce Young threw for 281 yards and two touchdowns to Tommy Tremble, while Chuba Hubbard ran for 120 yards and a score as Carolina dispatched the injury-riddled Philadelphia Eagles (2-4) with little second-half difficulty.

The Eagles, for the record, were missing quarterback Jalen Hurts - on injured reserve with a blood clot in his calf, out at least four games - and running back Saquon Barkley. Tanner McKee filled in and went 26 of 45 for 215 yards and a touchdown, which is the football equivalent of showing up to a knife fight with a spoon.

In Chicago, Caleb Williams completed his first 12 passes in his return from a hamstring injury, D'Andre Swift ran for two touchdowns, and the Bears (4-2) beat the Atlanta Falcons (2-4) after nearly squandering a 31-7 lead. Cornerback Kyler Gordon, back from a calf injury, had three sacks and two forced fumbles, the last a sack-and-strip of Michael Penix Jr. with 2:54 left as Chicago protected a 31-23 advantage. The Bears held off Atlanta's comeback attempt in the final quarter, which is more than most Bears fans expected.

Cleveland's Deshaun Watson connected with Jerry Jeudy for 33 yards to set up Andre Szmyt's 37-yard field goal on the final snap, and the Browns rallied past the Baltimore Ravens. First-year coach Todd Monken picked up an improbable victory over the team where he spent the previous three seasons as offensive coordinator - the football gods do enjoy a bit of theater. The Ravens, with Tyler Huntley starting a second straight week because Lamar Jackson has an ankle injury, scored on their first two possessions and then did essentially nothing. Both teams sit at 4-2.

Drake Maye tossed three touchdown passes as the New England Patriots (4-2) extended their winning streak to three, completing 18 of 32 for 235 yards. Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas and Hunter Henry caught the scores, with Douglas hauling in seven passes for 86 yards. The Jets' Geno Smith went 20 of 30 for 252 yards and a touchdown but threw his first interception of the season. New York (2-4) got four field goals from Jason Sanders and 11 tackles (six solo) from Jamien Sherwood, and Sanders pulled the Jets within 26-19 with a 36-yard kick at 32 seconds - but New England recovered the onside kick, because of course they did.

Aaron Rodgers threw touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and overtime, Chris Boswell made four field goals, and the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) erased a 16-3 fourth-quarter deficit with 16 unanswered points to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) in overtime. The Bucs tied it at 19 on Chase McLaughlin's 53-yard field goal with three seconds left, because nothing is ever easy. Rodgers then led a 12-play, 70-yard drive capped by a six-yard touchdown to Germie Bernard with 3:15 left in OT. Jalon Daniels, making his third straight start for the injured Baker Mayfield, scrambled 10 yards on fourth-and-nine to Tampa Bay's own 37, but five plays later Jalen Ramsey sacked him on fourth down on a corner blitz to end it.

Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 49-yard field goal as time expired, CJ Stroud threw three touchdown passes, and the Houston Texans beat the Jacksonville Jaguars on the slick grass of Wembley Stadium. Cam Little's 60-yard field goal tied it at 31-31 with just under two minutes left after Travis Hunter intercepted Stroud in the end zone. Hunter also caught a seven-yard touchdown at the other end, becoming just the fifth player in the Super Bowl era (including playoffs) to score a touchdown and intercept a pass in the same game. Marvin Harrison Jr. made his debut for the 2-4 Texans, who earned back-to-back wins to gain ground on the AFC South-leading Jaguars (4-2).

Tyler Shough threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score, and the New Orleans Saints (2-4) scored 34 consecutive points to end a three-game losing streak, holding on to beat the New York Giants (3-2-1). Isaiah Stalbird forced a fumble on a kick return late in the first half that flipped the momentum. Giants fans streamed to the exits after Jameis Winston's second interception early in the fourth quarter, and the stands were half-empty by the time JJ McCarthy led multiple scoring drives and fell just short of an improbable comeback.

Joey Slye connected on a tie-breaking 49-yard field goal with 2:03 left as the visiting Tennessee Titans (1-5) upset the Indianapolis Colts for their first win of the season. It was Slye's third field goal of the game; he added a 44-yarder with 43 seconds remaining after Tennessee got a fourth-down stop. The comeback from a 13-point halftime deficit gave head coach Robert Saleh his first win with the team. Cam Ward went 11 of 22 for 102 yards with a touchdown and an interception, and Tennessee notched six sacks, including two apiece by Jeffery Simmons and Jermaine Johnson II. Daniel Jones hit 22 of 42 for 269 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions for Indianapolis (2-4), while Jonathan Taylor ran for 94 yards on 21 carries.
