Quick Hits
Atlanta 43, Tampa Bay 28
The Bucs might have lost, but Mike Evans makes his case for catch (and subsequently, biggest hit) of the year
Detroit 22, Minnesota 16 (OT)
Minnesota blew another lead (and might not be as good as many thought) while Golden Tate brought the disrespect to win in overtime
Baltimore 21, Pittsburgh 14
The longstanding Steelers-Ravens rivalry was renewed, Ben Roethlisberger might have came back from injury a little too soon
Miami 27, NY Jets 23
Jay Ajayi rushed for only 111 yards this week; Ryan Fitzpatrick was injured for the Jets
Dallas 35, Cleveland 10
Cleveland looked overwhelmed, still has not won
Kansas City 19, Jacksonville 14
Travis Kelce is not a fan of the referees; the Chiefs held on for their sixth win of the season
NY Giants 28, Philadelphia 23
Odell Beckham makes another great catch; Eagles fall to last in division
Carolina 13, Los Angeles 10
The calls for Jared Goff as QB of the Rams keep growing louder as Case Keenum struggles; Cam Newton was swallowed whole
New Orleans 41, San Francisco 23
Drew Brees is on a tear at age 37; the 49ers had no chance at stopping the Saints offense
San Diego 43, Tennessee 35
Melvin Gordon had a career day as the Chargers offense fired on all cylinders
Indianapolis 31, Green Bay 26
The Colts keep their playoff hopes alive due to the success of Andrew Luck
Oakland 30, Denver 20
The Raiders took the division lead from the defending Super Bowl champs; the Broncos run defense struggled again
Seattle 31, Buffalo 25
A questionable call at the end of the first half mars a good performance by the Seahawks
