  1. touchdown

    Touchdown - Titans

    Tennessee Titans 14-14 Indianapolis Colts

    Well, that last play turns out to be a costly one for the Colts as the Titans come straight back with a touchdown on the next play from scrimmage.

    Ryan Tannehill hits AJ Brown down the right sideline and the star wide receiver is able to break a tackle and scamper in for a 57-yard touchdown.

    The game is all tied up and the Colts will be wondering how they are not leading in this one.

  2. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Pittsburgh Steelers 3-3 Cleveland Browns

    There was a trick but most certainly NOT a treat for Pittsburgh kicker Chris Boswell, who took the ball on a fake field goal right down by the Browns end zone but couldn't find a receiver with his attempted pass . He was hit and took a heavy fall on the end of the play.

  3. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengals

    Cincinnati Bengals 14-7 New York Jets

    You just can't cover Ja'Marr Chase for an entire game, it seems, as he makes space for himself to collect a two-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow.

    This Burrow-Chase connection could become a huge one in the NFL for years to come - that's his seventh TD already in this fantastic rookie season.

  4. touchdown

    Touchdown - Rams

    Los Angeles Rams 24-0 Houston Texans

    Well this one may be all-but-over in the first half. The Rams offence has been able to move the ball with relative ease so far and this drive is no different.

    Darrell Henderson then plunges into the end zone from a yard out to cap off a great half for Sean McVay's team.

  5. Crazy play for the Tennessee offence

    Tennessee Titans 7-14 Indianapolis Colts

    Ryan Tannehill has been under pressure all game and had taken a sack on the play before.

    This time Tannehill throws the ball as he is hurried. He is looking for Anthony Firkser but Tyquan Lewis comes up with the interception.

    As Lewis tries to run it back he goes down untouched and fumbles the ball. The Titans recover it so their offence will stay on the field.

    Worrying scenes for the Colts, though, as Lewis is down clutching his knee and is carted off the field.

  6. Steelers showing toughness

    Pittsburgh Steelers 3-3 Cleveland Browns

    There's some brutal hitting in Cleveland in this AFC North battle. These are traditionally smashmouth affairs - and this one is no different.

    Pittsburgh have the ball on the Cleveland 11-yard line as we hit the two-minute warning and they show they can run the ball even on this tough run defence.

  7. Turnover - Thompson with the interception

    Carolina Panthers 6-10 Atlanta Falcons

    A promising drive is shut down by the Panthers defence with a big turnover. Outside linebacker Shaq Thompson, who has been out since week four with a foot injury, announces his return to the line-up in a big way.

    A defensive lineman stepped on the left hand of Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan and there's no fake blood here as claret pours from Ryan's non-throwing hand.

    Then on the next play Ryan targets Hayden Hurst over the middle but finds Thompson, who dropped into coverage.

  8. touchdown

    Touchdown - Eagles

    Philadelphia Eagles 17-0 Detroit Lions

    Philly's top running back Miles Sanders is out but that's no problem for the Eagles as first Boston Scott and now Jordan Howard have scored rushing touchdowns - this time from four yards out.

    Looks like Detroit's wait for a win could go on a little while longer....

  9. Miami Dolphins 3-3 Buffalo Bills

    It's a tough game in Buffalo and Tua Tagovailoa is being given a rough ride by the Bills defence.

  10. field goal

    Field goal - Panthers

    Carolina Panthers 6-10 Atlanta Falcons

    The Panthers offence are able to move the ball into Falcons territory on a 23-yard pass to DJ Moore. But the drive stalls out as they find themselves third-and-11.

    Sam Darnold is only able to get seven of those yards back and Zane Gonzalez boots through his second field goal of the game. This one is from 51 yards.

  11. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Cincinnati Bengals 7-7 New York Jets

    Joe Burrow goes down heavily when being sacked by the Jets defence, and he stays down a while longer than you'd like if you're Zac Taylor and the Bengals sideline. Burrow suffered a serious knee injury last season so priority number one for the team this year is to protect their franchise QB.

  12. touchdown

    Touchdown - Rams

    Los Angeles Rams 17-0 Houston Texans

    The Texans defence looked like they had pulled off their second goal-line stand of the game. But a late flag for defensive holding on an incomplete pass on fourth down gives the Rams a fresh set of downs.

    Matt Stafford only needs one as he finds Robert Woods for a short touchdown pass and the Texans are in danger of being blown out here.

  13. field goal

    Field goal - Dolphins

    Miami Dolphins 3-3 Buffalo Bills

    Jason Sanders missed earlier from close range, but he's made one from 51 yards this time to level up the scores. It was 35-0 the last time these two met so the Dolphins are already doing much better this time around.

  14. touchdown

    Touchdown - Titans

    Tennessee Titans 7-14 Indianapolis Colts

    It may have taken a quarter, but the Titans have finally come to the party. It is a long grinding drive that featured a steady diet of Derrick Henry.

    Ryan Tannehill is then able to find tight end Geoff Swaim in the middle of the end zone to cut the deficit to a single touchdown.

  15. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bengals

    Cincinnati Bengals 7-7 New York Jets

    At the seventh time of asking the Bengals manage to find the end zone from close range as Joe Mixon shows a nice cut to dive over from a yard - even then, though, the Jets got through and nearly nabbed him behind the line.

    Mixon made the move though to level it up, then bust out the Michael Jackson 'Thriller' moves to celebrate.

  16. Turnover - Davis Mills is picked off

    Los Angeles Rams 10-0 Houston Texans

    Well, much like last week, the Texans defence scraps and fights to keep the team in a game and the offence is unable to help them. This time Davis Mills throws an interception right into the hands of Ernest Jones and gives the Rams the ball back inside the red zone at the Texans' 12-yard line.

  17. field goal

    Field goal - Rams

    Los Angeles Rams 10-0 Houston Texans

    The Rams offence has been slowed down somewhat by this tough Houston Texans defence. After a turnover-on-downs on the last drive the Rams are forced to settle for a Matt Gay 27-yard field goal on this one.

  18. touchdown

    Touchdown - Falcons

    Carolina Panthers 3-10 Atlanta Falcons

    The Falcons put the first touchdown on the board in this divisional showdown. Mike Davis has been running all over the Carolina defence and this drive is no different.

    The Falcons then take to the air as Matt Ryan finds Cordarrelle Patterson and the utility man takes the short pass before grabbing plenty of yards after the catch and diving into the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown. It was a great effort play from Patterson.

  19. touchdown

    Touchdown - Bears

    San Francisco 49ers 3-10 Chicago Bears

    Tight end Jesse James puts the Bears back in front as he collects a Justin Fields pass for an eight-yard touchdown.

  20. field goal

    Field goal - Steelers

    Pittsburgh Steelers 3-3 Cleveland Browns

    Cleveland's red zone defence this time holds up and Pittsburgh have to settle for a Chris Boswell field goal even though Ben Roethlisberger had time to throw on a couple of plays but couldn't find an open receiver.
