McKinney to the house

The Raiders are officially on upset alert after Xavier McKinney jumped right in front of Hunter Renfrow to intercept the pass and cruise the other way for a 41-yard score. Giants ahead 17-13.

Allen sacks Allen! 

For the first time in NFL history, a player sacked another player with the same first and last name. In the final moments of the first half, Bills quarterback Josh Allen was looking to get Buffalo into field goal range. Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen had different ideas, however, dragging his counterpart down for a 10-yard loss. Making matters more interesting, both players were selected seventh overall in back-to-back NFL drafts.

Revenge game INT!

Two games with the Panthers, two interceptions for the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore. His latest came against his former team, the New England Patriots, as he undercut the slant route to set Carolina up in enemy territory.

The Patriots have 126 total yards. through a quarter and a half against the Panthers. Fourth-round rookie Rhamondre Stevenson has 74 of them on just five touches, including a 41-yard reception and a 13-yard scamper. On the next play, Damien Harris powered through the line for a three-yard score.

Mike Gesicki twisting, one-handed grab

No one would have blamed Gesicki for not coming down with Jacoby Brissett's errant pass, but the tight end made the backup quarterback look really good with this twisting, one-handed snag with a defender on his back.

Teddy Covers extends Denver's lead

Teddy Bridgewater is 20-2 in his career as a road underdog, and he's on his way to his 21st cover early on against the Broncos. His pristine pass to Tim Patrick down the left side resulted in a 44-yard touchdown and gave the Broncos' a 13-0 advantage.

Direct-snap score

Myles Gaskin channeled his inner Ronnie Brown, taking the direct snap, surveying the line of scrimmage, finding a role on the right side and weaving into the end zone from six yards out. The Dolphins have the lead early in a battle between 1-7 teams.

Jefferson gets behind the defense

After an uninspiring performance in prime time against the Cowboys, the Vikings seemed to have regained their offensive aptitude early on versus the Ravens. It helps to have All-Pro Justin Jefferson, who flew behind the defense, caught Kirk Cousins' pass in stride and streaked into the end zone.

99-yard INT return TD

It looked as though the Bengals would strike first in a crucial AFC North battle, but on third-and-goal from the 3, Joe Burrow choreographed his pass to Ja'Marr Chase and Denzel Ward took advantage, jumping the route and taking it all the way back from a 99-yard touchdown to open the scoring.

Danny Dimes strikes first

Evan Engram had one receiving touchdown all of last season. He now has two in as many weeks, as he jumped over a defender to catch a 30-yard touchdown from Daniel Jones.

Betting market doesn't see Tua's absence as significant

When Packers future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers landed on the COVID-19 list earlier this week, the point spread moved about a touchdown in the Chiefs' direction for the Week 9 showdown. The week prior, when receiver Davante Adams missed the Cardinals' game with COVID, the line moved about a field goal in favor of Arizona.

Tua Tagovailoa is obviously not Rodgers or Adams, but him not starting the Texans' game with a fractured finger had to move the point spread a decent amount, right? Apparently not.

As of Sunday morning, 1-7 Miami was listed as a 5.5 point favorite against 1-7 Houston. But since the news about the
