The second half of the NFL regular season is underway -- and Week 10 has not disappointed.
The Sunday action kicked off with an overtime thriller in Berlin. Coming back stateside for the afternoon slate, there were upsets and one-score finishes all over the country.
If that wasn't absurd enough, the three-game late window all featured score lines in the 40-20 range. Two of them specifically ended 44-22.

Here are the winners and losers from Week 10's Sunday games:
WINNER: Patriots pass another test
The New England Patriots won their seventh straight game on Sunday -- and this was perhaps this most impressive victory yet.
Down in Florida against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Patriots quickly fell behind 7-0 behind settling in. They took a 14-10 lead at the half on a gutsy fourth-and-goal decision that led to a Stefon Diggs touchdown. Then, it was 21-10 when rookie TreVeyon Henderson scored on a 55-yard run. The Bucs fought back, making it 21-16 before Henderson iced the game on a 69-yard score with 1:31 to play.
NFL
Drake Maye was under constant pressure, leading to his most inaccurate game of the year -- 16 of 31. He still totaled 270 passing yards and two touchdowns, along with a rough interception in the end zone. But either way, the Patriots are 8-2 and in prime position to take back the division. The Bucs are now 6-3, still in control of the NFC South.
LOSER: Josh Allen and the Bills
Last week, the Buffalo Bills took down the red-hot Kansas City Chiefs. This week, they lost to the previously 2-7 Miami Dolphins.
It was a convincing victory for the home team, with Miami defeating Buffalo 30-13 while stifling Josh Allen all game long. The reigning MVP had 306 passing yards, two touchdowns and two turnovers. At times, he seemed exhausted while escaping pressure after pressure. With the loss, the Bills gave up another game to the Patriots in the AFC East.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, snapped a six-game losing streak against the Bills dating back to 2022. De'Von Achane was unstoppable on the ground, totaling 174 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Tua Tagovailoa recovered from an opening-drive interception to complete 15 of 21 passes for 173 yards, two touchdowns and two picks.
WINNER: Ravens are rolling
Turns out Lamar Jackson is pretty important to the Baltimore Ravens.
The two-time MVP has led his squad to consecutive wins since returning from injury, this time a 27-19 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson had 176 passing yards and a touchdown, with Tyler Loop's four field goals making the difference. Now 4-5 after a 1-5 start, Baltimore is firmly in position to challenge for a wild card spot -- or even the AFC North.
For Minnesota, the loss pushed them to 4-5. J.J. McCarthy, also in his second game back from injury, struggled in his fourth career start -- 20 of 42, 248 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
LOSER: Giants lose the game and their QB
The Chicago Bears... until Jaxson Dart was ruled out with a concussion.
The rookie quarterback led his team to a 17-10 lead in the fourth quarter when he exited and did not return. Dart had two rushing touchdowns, but he scrambled one too many times and was eventually knocked out of the game when his head hit the ground. Russell Wilson didn't offer much in relief, going 3 of 7 for 45 yards.
Caleb Williams seized the moment when Dart left the field, adding two late touchdowns (one passing, one rushing) to seal the 24-20 win. The former top pick has led the Bears to several late narrow victories this season, and the team is now 6-3.
WINNER: Divisional upsets
We already discussed the Dolphins' win over the Bills, but that wasn't the only divisional upset in Week 10.
In Charlotte, the New Orleans Saints took down the Carolina Panthers 17-7 for Tyler Shough's first NFL win. The rookie QB completed 19 of 27 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. It was a clean performance to give New Orleans its second victory of the season, while the Panthers fell to 5-5 and gave away a prime chance to get to 6-4.
In a more stunning finish, the Houston Texans scored 26 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 36-29. The Jags led 20-3 in the second quarter and 29-10 in the final frame before the collapse, allowing touchdowns to Jayden Higgins, Dalton Schultz, Davis Mills and then Will Anderson Jr. on the last play of the game. Anderson's fumble recovery TD didn't matter ultimately since the Texans were leading 30-29, but it was the cherry on top of a dominant quarter. Without starting QB C.J. Stroud, the Texans scored a much-needed victory to get to 4-5 as the Jags dropped to 5-4.
LOSER: Browns road woes continue
The Cleveland Browns are now 0-5 on the road this season -- and Week 10 might've been their last best chance at a victory.
Fresh off trading away stars Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, the New York Jets rallied around the guys still in the locker room and came away with a 27-20 win. It was the second straight victory for Aaron Glenn's squad after starting 0-7.
The Browns surrendered a kick return and punt return touchdown in the first quarter, and the offense couldn't do enough to overcome those points. While this game likely won't matter in the playoff picture, it could prove meaningful in the race for the No. 1 pick in next year's draft with both teams now 2-7.
WINNER: 40-20 scorelines
Adding to the absurdity of Week 10 were that all three late games finished with score lines in the 40-20 range. Both the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions won 44-22 coincidentally enough, while the Los Angeles Rams claimed a 42-26 win. Now to dig into each game...
LOSER: Commanders continue slide
The reigning NFC runner-ups are now 3-7. Washington lost 44-22 to Detroit with President Trump in attendance, receiving mostly boos throughout the game. Jared Goff diced Washington up with 320 passing yards and three touchdowns, while Jahymr Gibbs sped to 142 rushing yards and two scores on just 15 carries.
With Jayden Daniels and several more weapons out, Marcus Mariota just stood no chance of brewing an upset. Detroit is 6-3, while Washington continues its four-game home stand with Miami and Denver visiting next before a trip to Minnesota.
WINNER: DeMarcus Lawrence scoop and scores...twice
Yes, you read that right. Seattle routed the Arizona Cardinals 44-22 at home, with an early lead being built off two DeMarcus Lawrence scoop-and-score touchdowns.
Jacoby Brissett, filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, had his momentum come to an halt against a Seattle defense continuing to make solid impressions. Seattle fumbled four times on its own, but lost just two and prevented any Arizona momentum.
Arizona dropped to 3-6 after upsetting the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, while the Seahawks are 7-2 with a colossal divisional road trip next.
WINNER: Matthew Stafford outduels Mac Jones
The Rams got their revenge on the road, taking down the injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers 42-26. Matthew Stafford continued his impressive three-game streak of throwing four-plus touchdowns with no picks, doing so with 280 passing yards on 24 of 36 completions with San Francisco unable to offer resistance.
Another November 10, 2025
San Francisco's offense gave a fight, as Mac Jones threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns on 33 of 39 completions, but one interception and a costly Jauan Jennings fumble in driving range dropped the 49ers back to 6-4.
Los Angeles is now 7-2 as it hosts Seattle next week for divisional bragging rights, while San Francisco travels to Arizona to bounce back to 7-4 amid its injury issues.
