Tennessee's defense did everything they could to win this game. Overall, they forced three turnovers, all of which led to scoring drives for the offense. Furthermore, they earned four sacks, one of which caused Winston to fumble the ball at the NY 36.

The Bengals remain undefeated after beating the Steelers on the road.

Ja'Marr Chase had another big week, hauling in seven catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns. But while the Bengals' offense flourished in the first half, they were fairly quiet in the second.

DK Metcalf had a much better performance this week, with five catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. Pat Freiermuth also caught and ran for a big, 54-yard touchdown pass during the two-minute warning of the first half. But outside of those big plays, their offense was relatively ineffective.

The Buccaneers drop to 0-3 as the Vikings defense carries the team to another win.

The Vikings had to punt after their first drive, which had seemed promising. Fortunately for them, the punt landed at the Buccaneers' 5 yard-line. An offensive holding penalty pushed them back further. Eventually, RB Bucky Irving was tackled in the end zone, leading to the first score of the day.

Minnesota's offense was only able to score three points on the ensuing drive, and another three before the half ended. But they finally picked things up with two touchdown drives in the second half. Kyler Murray threw a TD to T.J. Hockenson, while Jordan Mason ran for a score in the fourth quarter.

The Buccaneers' offense, meanwhile, was sluggish all day. Mayfield didn't have any turnovers this week, but the team committed 10 total penalties (eight of which came from the offense). This killed multiple drives and potential scoring opportunities. Down 22-6 in the fourth quarter, Mayfield found Emeka Egbuka on a short TD pass, but the team failed to convert on the 2-point attempt.

Funny enough, the Cowboys' offense could not score a touchdown in the second half. Instead, they settled for four field goal drives. Brandon Aubrey converted four FGs of 38, 29, 51, and 49 yards, the last of which actually came at the last second.

Baltimore's offense, meanwhile, was on fire in the second half. They scored three total touchdowns and took a brief 31-30 lead with just 3:10 remaining. But they gave the Cowboys just enough time to get that game-winning FG.

The Saints had the ball with just enough time to score another touchdown. This time, Shough threw a TD pass to Juwan Johnson with just under a minute to go, giving the Saints a 24-17 lead.

The Eagles take down Case Keenum and the Bears to remain undefeated. But just like their previous two wins, it all came down to the wire.

It took some time for both offenses to get anything going, as neither team scored a touchdown until the second quarter. Philadelphia was up 10-0 until former Eagles' RB D'Andre Swift ran for a 22-yard score in the second quarter. But the Eagles quickly extended their lead again by scoring 13 unanswered points.

Down 23-7 with about seven minutes remaining, Keenum connected with Luther Burden III for a touchdown pass. Keenum then found Rome Odunze on the two-point conversion, suddenly making it a one-possession game again.

Chicago's defense forced a quick three-and-out, recovering the ball with just over five minutes remaining. They managed to drive their way down to the PHI 35. However, Jalen Carter sacked Case Keenum on 1st down, and a costly holding penalty on second down made it 2nd & 28. Ultimately, the Bear's offense was unable to get a first down.
