  1. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengalspublished at 19:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 31-20 New York Jets

    The Jets have been playing it tough but the Bengals open up an 11-point lead after Joe Burrow hits Tyler Boyd for a 10-yard touchdown.

    Add Boyd to the list of talented receivers on this Bengals team.

  2. touchdown

    Touchdown - Texanspublished at 19:42 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Los Angeles Rams 38-14 Houston Texans

    There is a very long way to go for the Texans to even have a chance in this one but they have a second touchdown.

    This one is a big play as Davis Mills finds Brandin Cooks deep for a 45-yard touchdown pass.

  3. Steelers force huge turnoverpublished at 19:41 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 15-10 Cleveland Browns

    With the Browns marching down the field, Pittsburgh force what could be a huge turnover as Jarvis Landry fumbles and T.J Watt, who else, comes up with the ball.

  4. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bearspublished at 19:38 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 23-22 Chicago Bears

    That's why they drafted Justin Fields! Just take a look at this run from the rookie Bears QB. From what's almost a broken play and a slip, he shows just what a great athlete he is with a run Lamar Jackson would be proud of as he takes on half the San Francisco defence to not only convert a fourth down but take it all the way to the house for the TD.

    Again, though, the kicker lets down the team with Cairo Santos missing the extra point so Chicago fail to tie the game.

  5. touchdown

    Touchdown - Texanspublished at 19:37 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Los Angeles Rams 38-7 Houston Texans

    The Texans have a consolation touchdown and it is Rex Burkhead who gets in for the score for Houston.

    He powered straight ahead from one yard out.

  6. field goal

    Field goal - Titanspublished at 19:36 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Tennessee Titans 24-24 Indianapolis Colts

    Paul's favourite name in the NFL has just tied up the game here in Indianapolis.

    The drive started strong for the Titans but a holding penalty brought back a conversion on third and 11. That saw the drive stall out and the Titans were forced to kick a field goal.

    Randy Bullock is good from 46 yards and this one looks to be going down to the wire with just over 10 minutes to play.

  7. touchdown

    Touchdown - Steelerspublished at 19:34 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 15-10 Cleveland Browns

    This is some effort from Pittsburgh tight end Pat Freiermuth, who bobbles a catch in the end zone with a defensive back draped all over him, but then manages to take it in at the second attempt and get two feet down inbounds to put the Steelers ahead.

    Again the Steelers have to go for two with no kicker available and again they can't get it, so the lead is just five.

  8. touchdown

    Touchdown - Pantherspublished at 19:33 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Carolina Panthers 19-10 Atlanta Falcons

    That is a 10-point swing for the Panthers as they capitalise on Atlanta's missed field goal.

    Before his injury Sam Darnold came up with a crucial play on third and long to set the Panthers up in the red zone.

    Chuba Hubbard then plunged into the end zone from six yards out. The Panthers have a two-score lead.

  9. touchdown

    Touchdown - Billspublished at 19:30 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Miami Dolphins 3-17 Buffalo Bills

    Breathing space for Buffalo finally as Stefon Diggs pulls in a 19-yard pass from Josh Allen to move the Bills 14 points clear. That's a bit more like it from Buffalo, who look to have the Dolphins defence out of gas now.

  10. ouch!

    Ouch!published at 19:28 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Carolina Panthers 12-10 Atlanta Falcons

    That is a huge hit on Sam Darnold and one of the problems with running the read option.

    Sam Darnold opts to keep the ball and try to run for a touchdown but is lit up Foyesade Oluokun. The hit pops Darnold's helmet off and he is taken to the locker room.

    PJ Walker is in at quarterback.

  11. touchdown

    Touchdown - 49erspublished at 19:25 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    San Francisco 49ers 23-16 Chicago Bears

    San Francisco go into full-on rugby mode as Elijah Mitchell is held up on the four-yard line but his team form a rolling maul and push the pile all the way over the line and into the end zone for the touchdown.

    Love that one!

    Even Jimmy G jumps in, right at the end obviously when Mitchell is already over the line...

    The Niners then get the two-point conversion to go seven points up.

  12. touchdown

    Touchdown - Coltspublished at 19:22 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Tennessee Titans 21-24 Indianapolis Colts

    The pendulum swings again in this one!

    Carson Wentz uncorks a long pass down the left sideline intended for Zach Pascal that draws a pass interference flag, setting the Colts up at the Tennessee five-yard line.

    Wentz then finds his tight end Jack Doyle for his first touchdown of the season as the Colts regain the lead.

  13. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengalspublished at 19:21 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 24-17 New York Jets

    Joe Mixon gets the short pass from Joe Burrow to run into the end zone barely touched with the Jets defence too busy covering Cincy's talented wide receivers.

    Before that, Burrow went deep to hit Tee Higgins for a 54-yard bomb to set up the touchdown to Mixon. Ja'Marr Chase is grabbing the headlines but Higgins is another big-play threat in this talented Bengals attack.

  14. Koo misses a field goalpublished at 19:18 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Carolina Panthers 12-10 Atlanta Falcons

    I said earlier about winning games with field goals. Well that could be the difference here with both teams unable to find the end zone for the most part.

    Younghoe Koo has been automatic all season but he misses a crucial 45 yarder here.

    How costly will that prove as the fourth quarter gets under way?

  15. touchdown

    Touchdown - Billspublished at 19:16 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Miami Dolphins 3-10 Buffalo Bills

    Josh Allen finally finds the end zone as he hits Gabriel Davis down the right edge of the end zone to put the Bills ahead in a game they're making rather hard work of.

    Allen had his face mask grabbed on the play but shook it off and lobbed his pass to a wide-open Davis.

  16. touchdown

    Touchdown - Ramspublished at 19:15 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Los Angeles Rams 38-0 Houston Texans

    That is a rushing touchdown for Robert Woods on an end around hand-off from Matt Stafford.

    The Texans defence is crumbling here but that is to be expected. The Houston offence can barely stay on the field to give them a breather.

    That is worst-case scenario against an offence that boasts as much firepower as the Rams.

    You have to wonder how much longer Sean McVay will keep the starters in as this one moves into the fourth quarter.

  17. touchdown

    Touchdown - Eaglespublished at 19:14 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Philadelphia Eagles 38-0 Detroit Lions

    Detroit running back D'Andre Swift fumbles and Eagles defensive back Darius Slay picks up the ball and runs it back to the house for a 33-yard fumble recovery TD for the Eagles defence.

    Just a horrible Halloween for Detroit.

  18. That's ugly!published at 19:13 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 9-10 Cleveland Browns

    Pittsburgh punter Pressley Harvin assumes kick-off duties after the touchdown, but you can tell he's never kicked in his career as he slices it out of bounds. This will be an interesting situation for the rest of the game.

  20. touchdown

    Touchdown - Steelerspublished at 19:09 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 9-10 Cleveland Browns

    Rookie running back Najee Harris barges his way over for the touchdown, but with kicker Chris Boswell out after that fake field goal hit earlier, the Steelers have a problem, and instead go for two.

    Ben Roethlisberger looks to have got it, but there's a penalty against Pittsburgh and they have to go for two from way back on the 13, and they fail to convert so remain a point behind.
