THE HFL CRIMSON CHRONICLE

Jonathon Brooks caught twelve passes for 84 yards and two touchdowns out of the backfield, and Bryce Young threw for 159 yards and two scores as Jacksonville's offense did just enough. Dak Prescott threw three interceptions for Tennessee, and the Titans managed only 35 rushing yards as a team in a game that stayed low-scoring throughout. Jacksonville improves to 4-6. Tennessee falls to 5-5.

Anthony Richardson Sr. threw for 224 yards and three touchdowns, a 155.3 rating, and ran for 85 more and two scores of his own — Washington converted all seven of its third downs. Dennis Loftus caught two touchdown passes, and Saquon Barkley's 121 yards from scrimmage and a receiving score for Atlanta were not nearly enough to keep pace. Washington improves to 8-1. Atlanta falls to 4-6.

Lamar Jackson threw for 267 yards and three touchdowns, Jayden Higgins caught six passes for 119 yards and two of them, and Kenneth Walker III added 135 total yards and a rushing score as New Orleans held on for a three-point win. Emmett Bennett threw for 179 yards for Pittsburgh, and Josh Jacobs ran for 57 yards and a touchdown, but it wasn't quite enough to close the gap. New Orleans improves to 6-3. Pittsburgh falls to 2-7.

Louis Geyer caught seven passes for 146 yards and two touchdowns, including a 73-yarder, and Seattle's defense scored too — Devonte Wyatt returned a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Trevor Lawrence threw for 275 yards and two scores for Los Angeles despite five sacks, but three Rams giveaways were too much to overcome. Seattle improves to 1-8. Los Angeles falls to 4-5-1.

Savion Williams caught six passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns, and Shane Dressler threw for 421 yards and three more scores in a shootout that saw Los Angeles pile up 575 total yards. Quintin Warner answered with 224 yards and three touchdowns of his own for Houston, and Bijan Robinson ran for 95 yards, but three Chargers giveaways kept it a game longer than the yardage gap suggested it should have been. Los Angeles improves to 7-3. Houston falls to 6-3.

Riley Leonard threw four touchdown passes, three of them to Reshard DuVall, who caught eight balls for 39 yards and made the most of every one of them near the goal line. Dillon Day added 104 yards on nine catches. Josh Allen threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns for Buffalo, and Amon-Ra St. Brown caught two scores, but five Bills sacks allowed and three giveaways were the difference. New York improves to 7-3. Buffalo falls to 3-6.

De'Von Achane had the best individual day the Chronicle has logged all season: fourteen carries for 248 yards and four touchdowns, an 80-yard run among them, plus two catches for 35 more. Baker Mayfield answered with 315 yards and three touchdowns for Miami, D.K. Metcalf catching two of them, and Terry McLaurin adding 74 yards on seven catches, but San Francisco's 250 rushing yards as a team was too much to overcome. The 49ers improve to 7-2. Miami falls to 6-3.

Dallas was shut out. Chicago's defense forced three Cowboys giveaways and held the offense to 153 total yards, while Lorenzo Whitworth threw a touchdown pass and Dylan Sampson added 45 rushing yards in a game neither offense had much rhythm in — the Bears managed only 159 yards themselves, it just proved to be enough. Chicago improves to 6-3-1. Dallas falls to 4-5.

Justin Herbert threw for 324 yards and four touchdowns, Tucker Kraft caught two of them for 137 yards, and Ladd McConkey added two more scores as Tampa Bay outlasted a Cleveland team that scored plenty of its own. Shedeur Sanders threw for 164 yards and two touchdowns, and Ashton Jeanty had 94 total yards and a score, but Tampa Bay's two touchdowns from Kraft were enough to hold on. Tampa Bay improves to 4-5. Cleveland falls to 1-8.

Jonathan Taylor ran for 161 yards and two touchdowns, an 82-yard burst included, as Philadelphia's ground game (200 yards as a team) did the heavy lifting behind a passing attack that only needed 60 yards through the air. C.J. Stroud threw for 198 yards for Detroit despite being sacked six times, and Jerry Jeudy caught eight passes for 50 yards and a score, but the Lions' offense never found its footing. Philadelphia improves to 6-4. Detroit falls to 3-7.

Las Vegas has its first win of the season. Omarion Hampton ran for 109 yards and two touchdowns and caught a third score for 165 total yards, Jaxson Dart threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, and Lukas Van Ness had two sacks, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, an interception and a touchdown, all in the same afternoon — a defensive box score that reads like a stat-sheet mistake. Indianapolis was not blown out by defense: Alec Pierce caught two touchdowns and Brady Cook threw two scoring passes of his own, but Indianapolis couldn't match Las Vegas's pace. The Raiders improve to 1-9, off the winless list at last. The Colts fall to 1-9 as well.

Nicholas Battle threw for 205 yards and a touchdown on just 14 attempts, a 142.5 rating, and ran for two more scores himself as Cincinnati stayed perfect. Kyle Pitts Sr. caught eight passes for 151 yards and a touchdown for New England, and Drake Maye threw for 285 yards and three scores of his own, but two Patriots giveaways against zero for Cincinnati decided it. The Bengals are 9-0. New England falls to 3-6.

Cam Skattebo ran for 143 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries, and New York's defense forced two Baltimore giveaways in a game that was closer on the stat sheet than the scoreboard. J.J. McCarthy threw for 239 yards for the Ravens, and Michael Pittman Jr. caught a touchdown, but it was not enough to keep pace with Skattebo's workload. New York improves to 5-4. Baltimore falls to 1-8.
