ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury on his first snap against the Bills, requiring surgery and placing him on injured reserve, leaving the Baltimore Ravens in a difficult quarterback situation with backups also injured.
- The Arizona Cardinals staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Dallas Cowboys 33-30 in overtime, capitalizing on Dallas' defensive lapses and game management errors despite the absence of key players.
- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won 16-0 against the Falcons without completing a single pass, relying heavily on their strong rushing attack and defense in adverse weather conditions.
- The Kansas City Chiefs blew a double-digit fourth-quarter lead against the Denver Broncos, with critical coaching decisions and a missed field goal contributing to a 28-24 loss that ended a long streak of fourth-quarter leads.
- The Tennessee Titans forced four turnovers and scored 36 points but still lost 43-36 in overtime to the Cincinnati Bengals, who were propelled by Joe Burrow's strong performance and key defensive plays.
