Broncos 19
Chiefs 29 On a night when the NFL was abuzz with the Jimmy Garoppolo-to-San Francisco trade, Trevor Siemian reminded Denver they have a QB problem too. But at least the Broncos defense can say they were the first to stop Kareem Hunt from topping 100 scrimmage yards! (AP Photo/Ed Zurga)

Steelers 20
Lions 15 JuJu Smith-Schuster celebrated his 97-yard touchdown — the longest in Steelers history — with a tribute to his stolen-and-since-recovered bike. Can’t wait to see what pearls of wisdom Jim Caldwell gleans from this… (AP Photo/Rick Osentoski)

LANDOVER, MD - OCTOBER 29: Running back Ezekiel Elliott #21 of the Dallas Cowboys runs for a touchdown against the Washington Redskins during the first quarter at FedEx Field on October 29, 2017 in Landover, Maryland. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

Cowboys 33
Redskins 19 Dallas did in fact “Feed Zeke” to the the tune of a career-high 33 carries for Ezekiel Elliott — meaning he toted the rock as many times as the Redskins helped an injured player off the field. That’s why football season in D.C. is basically over. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images)

SEATTLE, WA - OCTOBER 29: Members of the Houston Texans stand and kneel before the game against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field on October 29, 2017 in Seattle, Washington. During a meeting of NFL owners earlier in October, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair said "we can't have the inmates running the prison", referring to player demonstrations during the national anthem.

Texans 38
Seahawks 41 Houston’s torrid scoring streak with Deshaun Watson continued in Seattle, where the rookie tied Kurt Warner for the most TD passes through a player’s first seven career games (19). Much respect to Watson and the rest of the Texans for demonstrating they’re no inmates. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)

Panthers 17
Buccaneers 3 Not only is 37 year-old Julius Peppers still playing … he’s now 4th on the all-time sack list, perhaps giving Tampa some added motivation to dust off an old pass rusher of their own. (AP Photo/Phelan M. Ebenhack)

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (11) runs the ball during the first half of an NFL football game against the San Francisco 49ers, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2017, in Philadelphia. (AP Photo/Chris Szagola)

49ers 10
Eagles 33 Philadelphia has the best record in the league at 7-1, their first such start since 2004 — the last time they made it to the Super Bowl. If Carson Wentz is as good as his coach thinks he is, they’ll be in it this season too. Meanwhile, San Francisco is off to their first 0-8 start in franchise history. If they can’t get a win against the reeling Cardinals and/or the lousy Giants the next two weeks, I don’t know if they can win a game in 2017. (AP Photo/Chris Szagola)

Falcons 25
Jets 20 In a reversal of recent trend, Atlanta actually trailed all game long and pulled out a win in the 4th quarter — and did so on the road in a driving rain. Consider this Halloween week’s “trick.” (AP Photo/Bill Kostroun)

NEW ORLEANS, LA - OCTOBER 29: Drew Brees #9 of the New Orleans Saints throws a deep pass in the fourth quarter during a game against the Chicago Bears at Mercedes-Benz Superdome on October 29, 2017 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints defeated the Bears 20-12. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

Bears 12
Saints 20 Drew Brees was held without a TD at home for the first time this season but he became just the third QB to complete 6,000 passes in his career, on a day when New Orleans again rode their suddenly stout defense to a 5th straight victory. If last week was pedicures, does that mean the Saints get full body massages this week? (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images)

FOXBORO, MA - OCTOBER 29: Chris Hogan #15 of the New England Patriots catches a pass during the third quarter of a game against the Los Angeles Chargers at Gillette Stadium on October 29, 2017 in Foxboro, Massachusetts. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)

Chargers 13
Patriots 21 If you think Philip Rivers is having a bad week after falling to 0-7 all-time against Tom Brady, think again: Chris Hogan banged out his front Chiclets in practice and then jacked up his shoulder on gameday. I haven’t seen this much bad luck since Eugene Proctor. (Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)

Bills 34 Oakland’s streak of seven straight wins in games starting at 1 p.m. Eastern time ended badly, but at least they get another crack at it next week when they take their talents to South Beach to face the worst offense in the league. (AP Photo/Adrian Kraus)

Cleveland Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer (7) celebrates with teammates after scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run during the first half of an NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings at Twickenham Stadium in London, Sunday Oct. 29, 2017. (AP Photo/Tim Ireland)

Vikings 33
Browns 16 The bar for Cleveland is so low we’re not measuring their progress by wins, but by how many times they’ve led a game at halftime. Which is one: Sunday, in London. And then they got outscored 21-3 in the second half to become the 4th team in the Super Bowl era to start 0-8 in consecutive seasons. I’m starting to think it’s time to blow up the Browns. Again.

BALTIMORE, MD - OCTOBER 26: Cornerback Jimmy Smith #22 and free safety Eric Weddle #32 of the Baltimore Ravens celebrate after a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the Miami Dolphins at M&T Bank Stadium on October 26, 2017 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)

Dolphins 0
Ravens 40 Miami made an emphatic statement in this battle of the NFL’s worst offenses: The Dolphins O is by far the absolute worst, the only consistent thing about their wildly unpredictable season. Though I’m not sure it counts as “magical,” the Ravens defense will need more efforts like Thursday’s to stay in the AFC wild card race. (Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)
