It was an unfortunate sequence of events for the Pittsburgh Steelers coming out of the half. On the first play from scrimmage, Aaron Rodgers was sacked for a nine-yard loss, and he lost a fumble, recovered by Bills DT Christian Benford and returned for a 17-yard touchdown.

CINCINNATI — Before the last play of the game, when Joe Flacco’s 37th and final pass fell incomplete and the Cincinnati Bengals’ comeback hopes were officially put to bed, Mike Vrabel stood on the sideline in his old linebacker’s stance, away from the rest of the New England Patriots, to get the best view possible.

Atlanta cruised to victory over the Saints in what was the first game of the post-Michael Penix era this season. Kirk Cousins threw for 199 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. New Orleans' offense just was not able to put together any consistent drives and the Falcons were mostly never truly challenged.

The Sunday afternoon window for Week 9 was headlined by two big MVP quarterbacks looking to build on their respective seasons. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes went head-to-head Sunday afternoon, in yet another Bills-Chiefs showdown that came down to the last possession of the game.

So far today, the Houston Texans took down the Indianapolis Colts in a 20-16 win. Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers shocked the Los Angeles Rams in a 31-28 win. The afternoon window features Vikings - Seahawks on Fox as Sam Darnold faces one of his old teams as well as Bills - Steelers on CBS.
