Packers 33 A one-legged Aaron Rodgers added to his mythology by throwing for 425 yards and two scores, directing Green Bay to 10 points in the final two minutes to stay undefeated at home and earn Mason Crosby some redemption for last week’s miserable day in Detroit. Kaerpernick karma for the 49ers? (AP Photo/Mike Roemer)

Patriots 43 In the shootout everyone expected, Tom Brady notched his 200th regular season win and New England gave another young QB a proverbial stiff arm, beating Patrick Mahomes to win their 12th straight game over a QB making his first start in Foxborough and improve to 45-5 in such games under Bill Belichick. Let’s hope there’s a playoff rematch in January. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)

Cowboys 40 To put this game in perspective, the Dallas offense didn’t reach 40 points for the season until Week 4 — yet they hung that many on a boastful Jacksonville defense that’s been burned for a combined 70 points the last two weeks. The Jags D better wake up against Houston next week or they’re in trouble. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

Broncos 20 Todd Gurley posted the Rams’ first 200-yard, 2 TD rushing game in 17 years and his 11 TDs has him on pace for Shaun Alexander’s record-setting, MVP season in 2005. Methinks Gurley could surpass that all-time great campaign. (Photo by Justin Edmonds/Getty Images)

Titans 0 In Baltimore’s first shutout win of the season, the Ravens defense recorded a franchise-record 11 sacks for a loss of 66 yards, which is greater than Marcus Mariota’s 10 completions for a net gain of 51 yards. Mariota is the first player to get sacked 10 or more times with 10 or fewer completions in a game since Guido Merkens in 1987. With the New Orleans Saints coming to Charm City next week, we’re about to find out if this defense is as good as it looks — and how many more times I can say “Guido Merkens” in these recaps.

Redskins 23 On Sunday, Alex Smith had his normal rebound but redemption was spelled J-O-S-H. Not only did Josh Norman cap his week from hell by ending his 20-game interception drought against his former team, but he registered Cam Newton’s first-ever pick against the Redskins in his first-ever loss in Washington — all on a day when Cam tried to represent D.C. better than the team that plays here. This can only mean they’ll lay an egg against Dallas next week. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky)

Vikings 27 Linval Joseph didn’t do enough to add to his already surging Madden rating but Adam Thielen’s has to be making a move up after becoming the second player in NFL history to with 100 receiving yards in each of his team’s first six games. But let’s be real: Minnesota wins when Kirk Cousins is on his game — and when he’s at his corniest. (Photo by Adam Bettcher/Getty Images)

Bengals 21 I don’t know if seeing Ryan Shazier walk onto the field where he injured his spinal cord last season propelled Pittsburgh to this victory, but it’s not the least bit hyperbolic to say the Steelers saved their season with their best all-around win of the season so far.

Browns 14 Um, Todd Haley? I think you and Snoop have beef again. And thanks to another strong Melvin Gordon performance, the Chargers — whose only two losses came against the undefeated Rams and the Chiefs — look like contenders again. (Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)

Jets 42 It wasn’t exactly Super Bowl III but 50 years after their historic Super Bowl matchup, these two teams had an entertaining shootout with Joe Namath in the house to see the Jets stay relevant in the AFC East and the Colts a step closer to the first overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Sam Darnold playing well in front of Broadway Joe is almost as epic a “Circle of Life” story as it would be for Indy to find Andrew Luck’s replacement in the upcoming draft. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)

Dolphins 31 (OT) Khalil Mack was a non-factor for the first time as a Chicago Bear, and Brock Osweiler threw for a career-high 380 yards to help Miami improve to 3-0 at home. I give up on trying to predict this NFL season. (Photo by Mark Brown/Getty Images)

Raiders 3 On a day when it was reported that Oakland is in firesale mode and there were fond memories of Beast Mode, all that was proven is that the Raiders stink in any and all countries and would rather be in baby-making mode. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)

Giants 13 If Eli Manning’s old guy response to Lil Wayne doesn’t make you think he’s old, perhaps his mediocre play under center will. Not all Mannings are created equal: Peyton’s regression was abrupt and undeniable, and Eli’s really is something we should have seen coming, given his post-Coughlin play.
