- Patriots upset previously unbeaten Buffalo at the Bills' new stadium behind a go-ahead touchdown catch from Efton Chism III and a Josh Allen interception; Drake Maye threw three touchdowns but also lost three fumbles and threw an interception as New England improved to 2-2 and dropped the Bills to 3-1
- Eagles fell to 2-2 after the Rams scored 14 unanswered points in the final four minutes to erase a 20-10 Philadelphia lead; Saquon Barkley exited with a hamstring injury and DeVonta Smith was already ruled out Friday with his own hamstring issue
- Cowboys rode 17 catches from CeeDee Lamb to a last-minute win in Houston, dropping the Texans to 0-4 and leaving the Cowboys tied with Philadelphia at 2-2 in the NFC East, one game behind the 3-1 Giants
- Chiefs improved to 4-0 with a 30-27 win over the Raiders, paced by free-agent signee Kenneth Walker III's 537 rushing yards through four games; Patrick Mahomes is 10 months removed from ACL surgery and has yet to play a game with injured left tackle Josh Simmons
- Giants, now coached by John Harbaugh, sit alone atop the NFC East at 3-1 after holding off Arizona behind three Jameis Winston touchdown passes
- DeMeco Ryans is on the hot seat after his Texans fell to 0-4 — only the 1992 San Diego Chargers have made the playoffs after an 0-4 start — though the column notes Ryans reached the divisional round in each of his first three Houston seasons
- Tee Higgins erupted for 11 catches and 157 yards against Jacksonville after Ja'Marr Chase left with a concussion, giving the Bengals receiver WR1 upside in any week Chase sits
Why it matters: Three division races scrambled on the same Sunday: the NFC East has the Giants alone atop at 3-1 with the Cowboys and Eagles tied at 2-2, the AFC East reopened after New England upset previously unbeaten Buffalo, and the AFC West has the Chiefs at 4-0 with Mahomes 10 months post-ACL. The Texans' 0-4 start makes DeMeco Ryans just the second coach since 1992 to face that hole.
