Final scores

  • (6-2) Broncos 44-24 Cowboys (3-4-1)

  • (1-7) Saints 3-23 Buccaneers (6-2)

  • (7-1) Colts 38-14 Titans (1-7)

The whistle blows in Denver. What an impressive performance from the Bronos, after a very early error from Bo Nix they roar back and dominate Dallas’ injury-hit and very shaky defense. Punishing weaknesses in an opponent is a very useful trait to possess indeed. Nix finished 19/29 for 247 yards, four touchdowns and a pick. The running attack combined for 179 yards with JK Dobbins ripping 111 of them. The big takeaway for Denver has to be the rookies combining for four touchdowns.

And that is me done. What a night, see you next week! Oh and enjoy the ultimate revenge game next: Pittsburgh’s Aaron Rodgers taking on the Green Bay Packers.

Full time: Colts 38-14 Titans

Jonthan Taylor rules this one with two rushing touchdowns and one through the air. The running back finishes with 153 yards on 12 totes, 12! Unreal production. Indianapolis rise up to 7-1 and the Titans sink to 1-7. Another absolute thrashing on a day filled with them.
