The videoboard at Gillette Stadium showed Cardi B cheering after receiver Stefon Diggs' 11-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. It marked the second straight week Diggs -- who is dating Cardi B and the couple previously announced they are expecting a child together -- has scored a touchdown. A New York native, Cardi B celebrated Diggs' touchdown with her trademark on-field celebration by putting her left hand over her face and extending her right hand in front of her and waving it.

Stroud dropped back on a third-and-8 with 13:51 remaining in the first half and scanned the field before scrambling. He slid short of the first down mark, but Broncos cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine lunged into Stroud's chest, which caused the quarterback's head to smack the ground. Stroud laid on the field, moving gingerly, before he eventually got up and walked off the field on his own power.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has an illness, but the team said it will not affect his game status and that he is still expected to start Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Lawrence has started every game this season after missing seven games in 2024 (including the final five) because of a shoulder injury and concussion. He has completed 58.7% of his passes for 1,620 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions.

Over the first eight games of the season, the Patriots have dealt with more than their fair share of questionable calls by NFL officials, as they have had the most flag-happy crews on hand for more than one of their games. It has made life difficult in more ways than one, like stripping away an impressive touchdown by DeMario Douglas against the Saints, which hasn't helped their early struggles with avoidable penalties.

Reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II left the Broncos' 44-24 win over the Cowboys on Sunday just before halftime because of a left shoulder injury. The two-time All-Pro and three-time Pro Bowl selection will undergo tests, including an MRI, to determine the severity of the injury. Any potential absence will be a massive loss for Denver; defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has gone as far as to say, "Everything we do starts with Pat.'

Washington forced NFL MVP candidate Patrick Mahomes into two early interceptions. This was a massive positive that kept the Commanders firmly in the hunt, and potentially even in the early ascendancy if these chances were seized. Unfortunately, the offense failed to score a single point off these turnovers. And they eventually paid a heavy price. That did not go unnoticed by head coach Dan Quinn during his postgame assessment.

I don't feel like I got hit,

MIAMI GARDENS - The Miami Dolphins played their most complete game of the season in Sunday's 34-10 victory at Atlanta. The run defense finally lived up to expectations. The offense, playing without tight end Darren Waller (pectoral), put up a season-high in points and was aided by offensive coordinator Frank Smith being on the sideline instead of upstairs in the coaches box. Special teams had two field goals and a punt placed inside the 20-yard line.
