New York Jets 39–38 Cincinnati Bengals
Breece Hall threw two second-half touchdowns and threw a four-yard pass to Mason Taylor with 1:54 left to help New York Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals for their first win of the season.
Justin Fields was 21 of 32 for 244 yards and a touchdown in his first game since Jets owner Woody Johnson harshly criticized the play of his team's quarterback during their winless start. Hall finished with 18 carries for 133 yards. The Jets (1-7), trailing 31-16 after three quarters, gained 502 yards of offense in their highest-scoring game of the season, including a season-high 254 yards on the ground. Joe Flacco threw for two touchdowns and rushed for a one-yard score, but the Bengals (3-5) lost for the fifth time in six games. Ja'Marr Chase had 12 catches for 91 yards for his third straight game with double-digit receptions.
New York Giants 20–38 Philadelphia Eagles
Saquon Barkley rushed for 65 yards on his first carry of the game and passed for 100 yards for the first time this season in the Philadelphia Eagles' win over the Philadelphia Eagles. New York Giants (2-6). Barkley finished with 150 yards rushing and caught one of four passes from Jalen Hurts before leaving the game with a groin injury. The Eagles (6-2) tied the season series with their division rivals. The Giants' season-opening win over the Eagles since 2007 and their first win over Philadelphia since 2013 was severely disrupted when rookie Cam Skattebo suffered a sprained ankle and was taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Skattebo was carried off the field after he was hit hard in the middle and went down. His leg appeared to twist backwards and players from both teams huddled around the standout runner until he was escorted off the field.
Chicago Bears 16–30 Baltimore Ravens
Derrick Henry threw two touchdown passes, Tyler Huntley made a big catch on third down late in the fourth quarter and the Baltimore Ravens finally won without Lamar Jackson. The Ravens snapped a four-game skid and ended Chicago's four-game winning streak. The Bears (4-3) dominated the first quarter but made just two field goals in the period and didn't score again until the fourth. Although Jackson returned to practice this week, he was sidelined for a third straight game on Saturday with a hamstring injury. The Ravens (2-5) had lost 11 of their previous 13 games when their star quarterback didn't play.
Buffalo Bills 40–9 Carolina Panthers
James Cook rushed for a career-high 216 yards and two touchdowns, Josh Allen scored three touchdowns and the Buffalo Bills (5-2) came back with a blowout win over the Carolina Panthers (4-4). Allen improved to 8-0 after the bye week and set NFL record, becoming the first player to run and throw for a touchdown in 46 games, breaking the record previously held by former Panthers QB Cam Newton. Allen's 77 career rushing touchdowns (including playoff games) make Newton the all-time leading rusher. Cook had touchdown runs of 64 and 21 yards.
Cleveland Browns 13–32 New England Patriots

The Patriots (6-2) were helped by three field goals from Andy Borregales. Cleveland (2-6) defensive end Myles Garrett recorded a franchise-record five sacks in the loss. Garrett passed Reggie White to set the NFL record for most career sacks by a player under age 30 with his first sack of the game. Garrett has 10 sacks this season and 112.5 for his career. Cleveland's Dillon Gabriel was 21 of 35 for 156 yards. He scored two touchdowns and was intercepted twice.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23–3 New Orleans Saints
Tampa Bay edge rusher Anthony Nelson had a forced fumble and two sacks for a touchdown, Sean Tucker ran for a one-yard touchdown on fourth down and the Buccaneers (6-2) beat the hapless New Orleans Saints. Antoine Winfield Jr. recovered the ball and intercepted a pass for the Buccaneers, who forced four turnovers and also played a role in pushing Saints second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler out of the game. First-year Saints coach Kellen Moore brought in rookie QB Tyler Shaw late in the third quarter. But the move did little to improve the situation in New Orleans, which now has the worst record in the NFL with the New York Jets and Tennessee at 1-7.

San Francisco 49ers 15–26 Houston Texans
C.J. Stroud threw for a season-high 318 yards and two touchdowns as the Houston Texans got off to a fast start and held on for a win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Xavier Hutchinson led the group with 69 receiving yards and a score, helping the 3-4 Texans bounce back from their loss to Seattle. Mac Jones had a hard time orchestrating San Francisco's offense.
