Bears QB Trubisky threw for almost 300 yards and 1 TD with Inman and Bellamy receiving almost half of those yards with 145 between them, however it was in a losing cause as the Packers kept themselves in the hunt for the playoffs.
Cleveland Browns 24 Detroit Lions 38

Blake Bortles threw for 273 yards and 1 TD as well as being the second best rusher with 34 yards in five rushes, whilst the best receivers for the hosts were Hurns and Cole, who caught ten passes for 131 yards between them. Phillip Rivers didn't have a bad night either, throwing for 235 yards and 2TDs, but the Chargers now drop to 3-6 in the AFC West.
New Orleans Saints 47 Buffalo Bills 10
The Saints put up almost 500 yards of offense as they made it seven wins on the spin after thrashing the Bills in Buffalo. The Bills led early on through a field goal but once the visitors got going it was one way traffic as the damage was done on the ground, with Ingram and Kamara recording 100+ rushing stats and Thomas receving for over 100 yards too. Even Drew Brees scored a rushing TD as the Bills defense had no answer to the Saints offensive power. The Saints now sit top of the NFC South with a 7-2 record whilst Bills lose ground on the New England Patriots in the AFC East, on 5-4 now and two wins behind the Foxboro outfit.
New York Jets 10 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 15
The Buccaneers recorded a rare victory when they defeated the Jets in Tampa, leaving the New Yorkers bottom of the AFC East on 4-6. Martin rushed twenty times for 51 yards for the home side whilst Jackson and Godwin caught 11 passes for 150 yards between them. Jets QB McCown threw for 262 yards and a TD in a losing cause but victory for Tampa Bay means they improve to 3-6 at the bottom of the NFC South.
Minnesota Vikings 38 Washington Redskins 30
The Vikings took charge of the NFC North after seeing off the Redskins in Washington to go 7-2 on the season. QB Keenum had a good day, throwing for 304 yards and 4 TDs and found Thielen eight times as the receiver notched up 166 yards and a TD to boot. Redskins QB Cousins also threw for over 300 yards however he could only complete half his attempts as the home side slipped to 4-5 and drop below the 0.500 mark in the NFC East.
Cincinnati Bengals 20 Tennessee Titans 24
A late TD from the Titans saw them take victory over the Bengals meaning the AFC South divisional battle heats up as they tied up at 6-3 with the Jaguars. QB Mariota threw for 264 yards and 1 TD as he led his side to victory, with receivers Walker and Matthews the main pass receipients with 113 yards between them. Mariota was also one of the top rushers with 51 yards along with Henry, who rushed for 52 yards from his 11 carries. For the Bengals Andy Dalton threw for 265 yards and 2 TDs whilst Green received for 115 yards, but it wasn't enough as the Bengals now drop to 3-6.
Houston Texans 7 Los Angeles Rams 33

Jared Goff had an excellent day at QB for the Rams, throwing for 355 yards and 3 TDs with Woods the star receiver netting 171 yards in his eight receptions and scoring 2 TDs too. Hopkins did net 111 yards receiving for the Texans but it was a rare bright spark for the Texans who drop to 3-6 and fall three wins behind Titans and Jaguars in the AFC South.
Dallas Cowboys 7 Atlanta Falcons 27
The Falcons came from an early TD deficit to record a comfortable win at the Mercedes Benz Stadium over the Cowboys. Much was made of the absence of the suspended Elliott and although their offense appeared to miss him, the big problem was the protection given to QB Dak Prescott, who was sacked eight times, six of those by Adrian Clayborn who had a superb day in the Atlanta defense. It meant the Cowboys now trail Philadelphia Eagles by three wins in the NFC East, handing the division to the Eagles so it seems. The Falcons, who had this game down as must win after four straight losses, are now 5-4 and in the hunt for the playoffs.
New York Giants 21 San Francisco 49ers 31
The Niners finally won their first match of the season after the Giants season lurched from bad to worse to even worse still following defeat in California. Niners QB Beatherd threw for 288 yards and 2 TDs whilst Hyde rushed for almost 100 yards and Goodwin netted 83 yards receiving. Eli Manning didn't have too bad a game for the Giants, throwing for 273 yards and 2 TDs, with Shepard netting 142 yards receiving, however this loss heaps more woe on the Giants who now drop to 1-8 on the season.
New England Patriots 41 Denver Broncos 16
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick tied Tom Landry for the third all time wins as a head coach on 270 after his side thrashed the Broncos at Mile High in Colorado. Tom Brady was at his imperial best, throwing for 266 yards and 3 TDs with Cooks and Gronkowski his main receivers with 151 yards between them. Sanders received for 137 yards for the hosts but they have now conceded 92 points in their last two outings, admittidly against arguelbly the two best sides in the NFL right now, however this result leaves them down at the bottom of the AFC West on 3-6, whilst the Patriots march on and are in charge of the AFC East on 7-2.
Monday 13th November
Miami Dolphins 21 Carolina Panthers 45
Cam Newton led the Panthers to victory over the Dolphins in Charlotte and saw his side move to 7-3 and sit just behind the Saints in the NFC South.
