Who won the NFL games last night? Scores and results from all games


Tennessee Titans beat New Orleans Saints 23-21

The Tennessee Titans continued to scrap and claw their way to wins. They beat the visiting New Orleans Saints in a highly entertaining back-and-forth affair.

The game boiled down to a two-point conversion right at the end, which could have sent the contest into overtime. Instead, the Titans' defense held its nerve and broke a pass from Trevor Siemian intended for Mark Ingram in the end zone to secure the win. The Titans improved to 8-2, the best record in the NFL.

Tennessee Titans' top performers:

  • QB Ryan Tannehill - 19/27, 213 yards, 1 TD
  • WR Marcus Johnson - 5 catches, 100 yards

Buffalo Bills beat the New York Jets 45-17

After an embarrassing outing last week, where they were limited to just six points, the Buffalo Bills showcased why they are one of the favorites to win the AFC with a 45-17 thrashing of the New York Jets.

Not only was the Bills' offense unstoppable on the day, but their defense, too, played well, picking off Jets quarterback Mike White four times. The Bills are now 6-3 in the 2021 NFL season.

Buffalo Bills top performers:

  • QB Josh Allen - 21/28, 366 yards, 2 TDs
  • WR Stefon Diggs - 8 catches, 162 yards, 1 TD
  • WR Gabriel Davis - 3 catches, 105 yards, 1 TD

Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions tie 16-16

In the wildest NFL game on Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions played out the first tie of the 2021 NFL season.

The Steelers, without quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, had to rely on backup quarterback Mason Rudolph to drive them down the field for a touchdown late in the game to send the game into overtime. The Lions had a chance to deliver a killer blow and end their miserable losing streak in overtime, but kicker Ryan Santoso missed what would've been a game-winning field goal.

Top performers from the game:

  • RB DeAndre Swift (Lions) - 33 carries, 130 yards
  • RB Najee Harris (Steelers) - 26 carries, 105 yards, 1 TD

Indianapolis Colts beat Jacksonville Jaguars 23-17

The Indianapolis Colts survived a late surge from the Jacksonville Jaguars and hung on to win 23-17 and improve to .500.

Neither Carson Wentz nor Trevor Lawrence had a great outing, but the running backs on both sides played well.

Indianapolis Colts' top performers:

  • RB Jonathan Taylor - 21 carries, 116 yards, 1 TD
  • WR Micheal Pittman Jr. - 5 catches, 71 yards

Washington Football Team beat Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-19

In the biggest upset of the day, the reeling Washington Football Team beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-19.

The Buccaneers offense, without Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski, struggled to get going, while their defense struggled to contain quarterback Taylor Heinecki and the rest of Washington's receiving unit. The Buccaneers have now lost two games in a row. That has severely dented their hopes of securing home-field advantage in the 2021 NFL playoffs.

Washington Football Team's top performers:

  • QB Taylor Heinicke - 26/32, 256 yards, 1 TD
  • RB Antonio Gibson - 24 carries, 64 yards, 2 TDs
  • WR Terry McLaurin - 6 catches, 59 yards

New England Patriots beat Cleveland Browns 45-7

The New England Patriots dismantled the Cleveland Browns 45-7 to register their fourth straight win.

The Browns took the lead in the game, courtesy of a fourth-and-goal conversion from Baker Mayfield, but it was all New England post that, as they scored 45 unanswered points. Quarterback Baker Mayfield had to exit the game with an injury, but he did say after the game that his ailment was not much to worry about and he expects to play next week.

Among AFC teams, only the Tennessee Titans have won more games than the Patriots this season. Head coach Bill Belichick and his team are a force to be reckoned with.

New England Patriots' top performers:

  • QB Mac Jones - 19/23, 198 yards, 3 TDs
  • RB Rhamondre Stevenson - 20 carries, 100 yards, 2 TDs
  • WR Kendrick Bourne - 4 catches, 98 yards, 1 TD

Dallas Cowboys beat the Atlanta Falcons 43-3

Questions were asked of the Dallas Cowboys' credentials as Super Bowl contenders after their defeat last week against the Denver Broncos. The team laid them all to rest with an emphatic 43-3 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

The Falcons' offense was completely stifled by a spirited Cowboys defense. Matt Ryan was limited to just 117 yards and he also tossed two interceptions. Josh Rosen came in late in the game and had as many completions as interceptions. The Cowboys are 7-2 and in the mix to be the NFC's #1 seed in the NFL playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys' top performers:

  • QB Dak Prescott - 24/31, 296 yards, 2 TDs
  • WR CeeDee Lamb - 6 receptions, 94 yards, 2 TDs
  • RB Ezekiel Elliot - 14 carries, 41 yards, 2 TDs

The Carolina Panthers beat Arizona Cardinals 34-10

The Arizona Cardinals were without Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins for the second game running, and the Carolina Panthers took full advantage, winning 34-10.

It was a happy return for the Panthers' former franchise quarterback Cam Newton, who threw and rushed for a touchdown in his first game since being released by the Patriots. The Cardinals are still 8-2 and should have Murray and Hopkins back next week.

Carolina Panthers' top performers:

  • QB Cam Newton - 3/4, 8 yards, 1 TD, 3 carries, 14 yards, 1 rushing TD
  • RB Christian McCaffrey - 13 carries, 95 rushing yards, 10 catches, 66 receiving yards

Minnesota Vikings beat Los Angeles Chargers 27-20

The Minnesota Vikings secured a much-needed victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Vikings' defense was particularly good and held quarterback Justin Herbert to just 195 yards. The Chargers couldn't get the ground game going either, in what was an all-around disappointing day for the home team.

Minnesota can enjoy the win for now, but they soon have to start preparing for their next game: a divisional battle against the Green Bay Packers.

Minnesota Vikings' top performers:

  • QB Kirk Cousins - 25/37, 294 yards, 2 TDs
  • RB Dalvin Cook - 24 carries, 94 yards, 1 TD
  • WR Justin Jefferson - 9 catches, 143 yards

The Green Bay Packers beat Seattle Seahawks 16-0

The Green Bay Packers welcomed back quarterback Aaron Rodgers after he missed last week's trip to Kansas City due to COVID-19. He was gifted with the Packers' defense shutting out the Seahawks offense, a first for Russell Wilson, who also made his return to the field after missing a few games due to injury.

The Seahawks have now slipped to 3-6 and are well off the pace in the hunt for a place in the NFL playoffs.

Green Bay Packers' top performers:

  • QB Aaron Rodgers - 23/37, 292 yards
  • RB AJ Dillon - 21 carries, 66 yards, 2 TDs
  • WR Davante Adams - 7 catches, 78 yards

The Philadelphia Eagles beat Denver Broncos 30-13

After enjoying the high of beating the Dallas Cowboys in NFL Week 9, the Denver Broncos were given a taste of reality at Mile High by the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Broncos' defense tried to keep their team in the game, but some bad turnovers and poor play overall from their offense ensured they dropped to 5-5. The Eagles were outstanding on the day and thoroughly deserved their win.

Philadelphia Eagles' top performers:

  • QB Jalen Hurts - 16/23, 178 yards, 2 TDs
  • RB Jordan Howard - 12 carries, 83 yards
  • WR DeVonta Smith - 4 catches, 66 yards, 2 TDs

The Kansas City Chiefs beat Las Vegas Raiders 41-14

In the main event on Sunday Night Football, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs announced their return to form in grand style, trouncing the Las Vegas Raiders 41-14.

The Chiefs defense suffocated Derek Carr for time and Raiders receivers for space throughout the game. Their offense was unstoppable, as Mahomes, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce all delivered on the night. The Chiefs have now gone from bottom to top of the AFC West in the space of two weeks.

Kansas City Chiefs' top performers:

  • QB Patrick Mahomes - 35/50, 405 yards, 5 TDs
  • WR Tyreek Hill - 7 catches, 83 yards, 2 TDs
  • TE Travis Kelce - 8 catches, 119 yards, 1 TD
