  1. Two picks for Bengalspublished at 17:43 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 0-7 New York Jets

    That's back-to-back drives that Jets QB Mike White has been intercepted by the Bengals defence. Now the offence just has to try to turn this into points this time.

  3. touchdown

    Touchdown - Eaglespublished at 17:36 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Philadelphia Eagles 7-0 Detroit Lions

    Philly go ahead from short range as they hand Boston Scott the rock and he runs it hard in from just a yard out to put the Eagles up in Detroit.

    Many fancy the Lions could get their first win tonight, me among them, but it's not started well for them.

  4. Big stop by the Jetspublished at 17:33 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 0-7 New York Jets

    This is spooky stuff from the Jets, who have really come to play ball tonight! After going ahead they've now produced a huge stop on defence to keep the Bengals out from just the one-yard line!

    Cincy go for it on fourth down to try to punch it in but the Jets stand firm. Coach Robert Saleh goes nuts on the sideline as the Jets keep them at bay.

  5. Great goal-line stand by the Texanspublished at 17:33 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Los Angeles Rams 7-0 Houston Texans

    The Rams look like they are going to have a repeat of their opening drive as they make getting into the red zone look easy. It is almost a carbon copy of the touchdown as Stafford finds Darrell Henderson out of the backfield.

    But this time the Texans defence is able to step up and hit the running back as he gets his hands on the ball and force a turnover-on-downs to keep it a one-score game.

  6. field goal

    Field goal - Pantherspublished at 17:29 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Carolina Panthers 3-3 Atlanta Falcons

    That is a much better drive for the Panthers, who are able to move the ball down the field well. They were able to lean on Chuba Hubbard and Ameer Abdullah carrying the ball.

    It looked like Sam Darnold had dropped a dime to DJ Moore for a long touchdown pass but it was ruled incomplete as Moore lost possession of the ball on the ground.

    They have to settle for a 29-yard field goal from Zane Gonzalez to tie the game up.

  7. Thrilling outfit for Beckhampublished at 17:28 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-3 Cleveland Browns

    Odell Beckham... best outfit of the day? Just the one reception so far by the Browns receiver.

  8. touchdown

    Touchdown - Coltspublished at 17:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Tennessee Titans 0-14 Indianapolis Colts

    Well, Indianapolis have come out on fire here! They convert the turnover into points immediately.

    For the second time today Carson Wentz finds Michael Pittman in the back of the end zone and the Titans are reeling early here.

    That is 14 points for the Colts in 57 seconds.

    Field goal - Billspublished at 17:26 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Miami Dolphins 0-3 Buffalo Bills

    Buffalo's drive stalls but Tyler Bass shows these other kickers how it's done by landing a big one from 57 yards to nudge Buffalo ahead.

  10. Turnover - Tannehill is picked offpublished at 17:24 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Tennessee Titans 0-7 Indianapolis Colts

    The dream start for the Colts continues, but Ryan Tannehill, what are you doing?!

    He makes a bad read and throws the ball into double coverage and right into the hands of Kenny Moore.

  11. More missed FGspublished at 17:22 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    That's now three missed field goals already tonight! And not huge distances on them either.

    Joey Slye misses for San Francisco in Chicago from 48 yards.

    And Austin Seibert misses for Detroit at home against Philadelphia from 47.

    Kickers eh!

    Andrew Priestley: Jonathan Taylor of the Colts is arguably having as good a season as Derrick Henry as a difference-making RB. They’re going head-to-head today.

  13. touchdown

    Touchdown - Coltspublished at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Tennessee Titans 0-7 Indianapolis Colts

    The Indianapolis Colts make their opening statement. The drive started with a big pass play to Jonathan Taylor for 37 yards and they are able to capitalise on their first trip to the red zone.

    It takes a fourth-down attempt but Carson Wentz finds Michael Pittman in the back of the end zone for a two-yard touchdown reception.

  14. That's ugly!published at 17:18 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Miami Dolphins 0-0 Buffalo Bills

    Miami waste a great chance to go ahead as Jason Sanders drags a short 36-yard effort badly wide left of the posts - not more than extra-point distance but that's a bad miss.

  15. touchdown

    Touchdown - Jetspublished at 17:16 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 0-7 New York Jets

    The Jets just don't score first-quarter points, but they've scored a TD on their opening drive tonight. Now that is a Halloween scare!

    Michael Carter is the man to do the damage with an eight-yard rush.

  16. field goal

    Field goal - Brownspublished at 17:14 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-3 Cleveland Browns

    Baker Mayfield is sacked on the 13-yard line on third down, that had to hurt! Cleveland have to settle for a Chase McLaughlin field goal on their opening drive.

  17. touchdown

    Touchdown - Ramspublished at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Los Angeles Rams 7-0 Houston Texans

    That is exactly how the Rams would have wanted to the start game. It is a methodical drive down the field and a catch from the NFL's leading receiver Cooper Kupp that gets the Rams into the red zone.

    Matt Stafford then connects with Darrell Henderson underneath on a play-action pass for the three-yard touchdown. That is Stafford's 20th passing touchdown of the season.

  18. Trick and treat for the Jetspublished at 17:13 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Cincinnati Bengals 0-0 New York Jets

    Some trickeration from the Jets as they get fancy with a double pass, and although they don't get the completion, they get a pass interference flag against Cincy that gives them a first and goal.

    Andrew Priestley: RBs never get the credit they are due in the MVP conversation anymore, now that the league has become a QB protection/pass friendly place. Adrian Peterson being the only RB to win an MVP award since 2006.

  20. Browns in the Red Zonepublished at 17:11 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2021

    Pittsburgh Steelers 0-0 Cleveland Browns

    Baker Mayfield is somehow playing with his left shoulder in all kinds of trouble but he's patched up and leading the Browns down the field.

    He almost has a touchdown pass to David Njoku but the tight end drops the ball....
