Baltimore Ravens 41, Denver Broncos 10

Quarterback Lamar Jackson finished with a perfect passer rating, wide receiver Zay Flowers hit paydirt twice and running back Derrick Henry is still King.

The Baltimore Ravens bounced back from a surprising Week 8 loss to the Cleveland Browns by shredding a previously lauded Denver Broncos defense in a 41-10 win in Week 9.

Kyle Hamilton proved disruptive to the Broncos' offensive plans and earned a 90.0-plus PFF overall grade after PFF's first review of the game. Jackson and Flowers topped 90.0, as well.

Carolina Panthers 23, New Orleans Saints 22

The Carolina Panthers picked up their second win of the season over the tailspinning New Orleans Saints, 23-22.

Bryce Young was phenomenal in his second straight start, completing 16-of-27 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown and three big-time throws. His 88.5 PFF passing grade is a career-high, pending final review.

Meanwhile, Derek Carr‘s return to the Saints lineup wasn't phenomenal. The veteran went 20-for-36 with 245 yards and no big-time throws. New Orleans converted just 33% of third-down tries and scored touchdowns on only two of four red-zone possessions. Standout receiver Chris Olave suffered an early concussion.

Cincinnati Bengals 41, Las Vegas Raiders 24

The Cincinnati Bengals‘ historical hesitancy to make an in-season trade may change with the trade deadline looming and the team looking to turn around its season.

The first step to becoming a buyer at the Nov. 5 deadline is winning games, and Joe Burrow is doing just that. The Bengals are victors in three of their past four games after a 41-24 thrashing of the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.

Burrow tossed five touchdowns, and Trey Hendrickson wreaked havoc in the Raiders' backfield for four sacks and eight total pressures.

Los Angeles Chargers 27, Cleveland Browns 10

You take the highs with the lows when it comes to Jameis Winston, and Week 9 was on the wrong end of the spectrum for the Cleveland Browns.

Winston made three turnover-worthy plays against the Los Angeles Chargers, whose defense shut down the Browns all game to help the team roll to a 27-10 win.

Los Angeles' secondary forced six incompletions, hauled in three interceptions and dropped another two picks while missing only two tackles.

Washington Commanders 27, New York Giants 22

The Washington Commanders didn’t need any miracles this week, but they did fend off a comeback attempt from the New York Giants to secure a 27-22 win in Week 9.

In the victory, Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels made history by becoming the first rookie in the Super Bowl era to defeat the Giants twice in a single season. Daniels performed well, completing 15 of 22 passes for 208 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, with two big-time throws and no turnover-worthy plays.

The Commanders (7-2) extend their lead atop the NFC East, while the Giants fall to 2-7, including an 0-5 record at home.

Tennessee Titans 20, New England Patriots 17

The Tennessee Titans secured their first win in five weeks by beating the New England Patriots, 20-17, in a game with top-five pick implications.

Rookie Drake Maye led New England down to the Titans' 5-yard line with no timeouts, then kept the final play alive for nearly 10 seconds before locating Rhamondre Stevenson for the game-tying touchdown. However, his interception thrown to Amani Hooker ended the game in overtime.

Both offenses finished with negative EPA per play marks, but Tennessee converted on 44% of third downs and secured four takeaways.

Arizona Cardinals 29, Chicago Bears 9

The upstart Arizona Cardinals rolled to their third straight win, dismantling the Chicago Bears, 29-9.

Arizona's run game thrived, averaging 0.064 EPA per play and generating five explosive runs. A 53-yard trot by Emari Demercado with four seconds left in the first half was representative.

Meanwhile, Chicago's offense was stuck in neutral, averaging -0.230 EPA per play. The Bears converted only 29% of third downs, made one red-zone trip and had three dropped passes.

Philadelphia Eagles 28, Jacksonville Jaguars 23

Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley delivered standout performances to help the Philadelphia Eagles overcome some self-inflicted obstacles in a 28-23 victory over the Jaguars in Week 9.

Hurts completed 19 of his 25 passes for 238 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 66 rushing yards and a score on the ground. Barkley complemented him with 150 rushing yards and a touchdown of his own.

The Eagles appeared to outmatch the Jaguars, but the game stayed closer than it should have. Head coach Nick Sirianni opted against taking easy points, as the Eagles went 0-for-2 on fourth downs and missed on all three of their 2-point conversion attempts. These decisions led to a long 57-yard field goal attempt by Jake Elliott with 2:16 remaining, which he missed, giving Jacksonville the ball at their own 47-yard line.

The Jaguars' go-ahead drive was cut short when Trevor Lawrence misfired on a back-shoulder throw into the end zone, a throw linebacker Nakobe Dean intercepted for his first career pick.

Detroit Lions 24, Green Bay Packers 14

The Green Bay Packers are the latest victim of the Detroit Lions, the NFC's hottest team as winners of six straight.

The now-7-1 Lions used a balanced attack — consisting of an accurate Jared Goff, a steady one-two punch of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, and stellar defense — to dispatch the Packers, 24-14, in Week 9.

Los Angeles Rams 26, Seattle Seahawks 20

So much for the Hollywood sell-off. The Los Angeles Rams upended the Seattle Seahawks 26-20 in an overtime thriller, climbing back to 4-4.

After Kenneth Walker III was stuffed on fourth-and-1 to start the extra period, Matthew Stafford connected with Demarcus Robinson for a 39-yard touchdown to end the game and seal an LA victory.

Two red-zone interceptions by Geno Smith plagued the Seattle offense, with rookie Kam Kinchens taking one 103 yards the other way for a paramount touchdown.

Minnesota Vikings 21, Indianapolis Colts 13

The Indianapolis Colts didn’t get the boost they hoped for with Joe Flacco stepping in for Anthony Richardson, falling 21-13 to the Sam Darnold-led Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night.

Flacco completed 16 of his 27 passes for 179 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception, as the Colts’ offense managed just -0.206 EPA per passing play — their second-worst mark of the season. Without Richardson’s dual-threat ability, the offense lacked the added dynamism in the running game, which clearly limited its effectiveness.

Darnold was efficient but unspectacular for the Vikings, completing 28 of his 34 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He recorded one big-time throw but also had three turnover-worthy plays and was sacked four times in the victory.

Kansas City Chiefs 30, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24

Patrick Mahomes is a certified winner, whether that means actually coming out on top in games or exiting the medical tent with unprecedented speed after suffering a worrisome ankle injury.

Mahomes rebounded from the non-contact injury — on a play where he threw a touchdown — to lead the Chiefs down the field and break a 17-17 tie. Although Baker Mayfield evened the score with a late touchdown pass to send the game to overtime, Mahomes worked his magic once more to win the Monday Night Football contest for the Kansas City Chiefs over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 30-24.
