The Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Buffalo Bills to become the first team in NFL history to win two games outside North America by beating the Buffalo Bills in England in the early slate.

The Pittsburgh Steelers survived against the Baltimore Ravens and the Atlanta Falcons beat the Houston Texans on the last second field goal to highlight the noon slate.

The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs won hard fought games in the late slate to extend their division leads and the San Francisco 49ers asserted their dominance over the Dallas Cowboys in the night game.

Ahead of Monday night football, the latest rendition of the NFL power rankings are here and there were a few big movers.
