NFL roundup: Broncos top Giants behind historic comeback

Sun Oct 19 9:02pm ET
Field Level Media

Wil Lutz made a 39-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Denver Broncos -- who entered the fourth quarter trailing 19-0 -- to a stunning 33-32 comeback win over the visiting New York Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Bo Nix passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 48 yards and two more scores for Denver (5-2), which also trailed 26-8 with just over five minutes remaining. The 33 fourth-quarter points are the most in NFL history by a team that had been shut out in the first three quarters.

Jaxson Dart completed 15 of 33 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns, but threw a costly interception in the fourth quarter for New York (2-5). Cam Skattebo rushed 16 times for 60 yards for the Giants, who allowed the most points in a quarter in franchise history.

After Dart gave the Giants a 32-30 lead with a 1-yard run with 37 seconds left to play, Jude McAtamney missed the extra-point attempt. Denver then went 56 yards on four plays, with Nix's 22-yard strike to Courtland Sutton getting the ball to the New York 22 to set Lutz up for the winner.

Eagles 28, Vikings 22

Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both had big games, and Philadelphia held off Minnesota for the victory in Minneapolis.

The Eagles (5-2) ended a two-game skid as Hurts racked up a season-high 326 yards on 19-of-23 passing for a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Brown caught four passes for 121 yards and two TDs and Smith set a career high with 183 yards and a score.

Losing to the quarterback who replaced him in Philadelphia in 2020, Carson Wentz threw for 313 yards but had two interceptions as the Vikings (3-3) repeatedly stalled in the red zone. Will Reichard kicked five field goals for Minnesota and Jordan Addison caught nine passes for 128 yards.

Rams 35, Jaguars 7

Matthew Stafford threw a season-high five touchdowns, Davante Adams had three TD receptions and Los Angeles earned a convincing win over Jacksonville in London.

Stafford threw five touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career and the first time since 2015. Adams put together his third career three-touchdown game and first since 2020. His three touchdowns amassed a total of 4 yards. Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson also snared TD passes from Stafford.

The Rams (5-2) took a shutout into the fourth quarter before Jacksonville (4-3) got on the board with 9:06 left on Travis Hunter's first career touchdown catch, a 34-yarder from Trevor Lawrence. Hunter finished with a game and career-high 101 yards on eight catches. Lawrence connected on 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards.

Bears 26, Saints 14

D'Andre Swift rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown, the defense took the ball away four times and host Chicago won its fourth consecutive game by beating New Orleans.

Caleb Williams passed for 172 yards and Kyle Monangai added a touchdown run for the Bears (4-2), who rushed for 222 yards and exceeded their NFL-leading average of 2.4 takeaways per game.

Spencer Rattler passed for 233 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Chris Olave, but he also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble for the Saints (1-6), who matched their turnover total for the first six games combined.

Patriots 31, Titans 13

Drake Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns to help visiting New England stretch its winning streak to four games by beating Tennessee in Nashville.

Maye completed 16 consecutive passes at one point for New England (5-2), which also received 88 yards rushing and a touchdown on 18 carries from Rhamondre Stevenson. The win gave New England head coach Mike Vrabel a victory over his former employer. Vrabel coached the Titans from 2018-23.

Rookie Cam Ward completed 25 of 34 passes for 255 yards and a TD for Tennessee (1-6). Ward was intercepted once and also lost a fumble that resulted in a New England touchdown. The loss came in Mike McCoy's first game as Tennessee's interim head coach. McCoy replaced Brian Callahan, who was fired Monday.

Browns 31, Dolphins 6

Rookie Quinshon Judkins rushed for a career-high three touchdowns, Tyson Campbell had a pick-six in his home debut and host Cleveland hammered Miami on a rainy afternoon.

Judkins, who rushed 25 times for 84 yards, tallied twice in the first half on a long sprint and a spinning run before another in the second half in his first multi-touchdown game. The Browns (2-5) broke their three-game losing streak by scoring three times off Miami turnovers.

Tua Tagovailoa was 12-of-23 passing for 100 yards and three interceptions for the Dolphins (1-6), who have lost three straight. Reserve Quinn Ewers was 5-of-8 passing for 53 yards in his NFL debut.

Chiefs 31, Raiders 0

Patrick Mahomes passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns in less than three quarters and Kansas City moved ahead of .500 for the first time this season with a shellacking of visiting Las Vegas.

Rashee Rice was credited with two touchdown receptions while making his season debut following a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown also had a scoring grab and Isiah Pacheco ran for a touchdown as the Chiefs (4-3) beat the Raiders for the 14th time in the past 16 meetings.

Kansas City held Las Vegas to 95 total yards and three first downs while posting its first regular-season shutout in the all-time series since 2011 against the then-Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs began taking kneel downs with 2:36 remaining in the one-sided contest. Geno Smith completed 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards for Las Vegas (2-5).

Panthers 13, Jets 6

Carolina scored the game's only touchdown on a Bryce Young pass before he left with an injury during a victory over winless New York at East Rutherford, N.J.

Carolina's defense shined, limiting the Jets (0-7) to 220 yards of total offense and benefited from Jaycee Horn's two interceptions as the Panthers (4-3) won their third game in a row. Young didn't finish the game because of an ankle injury sustained late in the third quarter on a sack, so he was replaced by Andy Dalton. Young was 15 of 25 passing for 138 yards.

New York backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, playing in the second half, went 10-for-22 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions. Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields was pulled after the first half, when he was 6 of 12 for 46 yards.

Colts 38, Chargers 24

Jonathan Taylor ran for three touchdowns and Daniel Jones threw for two as Indianapolis ran roughshod over Los Angeles' defense for an impressive win in Inglewood, Calif.

Taylor finished with 94 yards on 16 carries, scoring on runs of 23, 8 and 19 yards as the Colts (6-1) won their third straight game. Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards as Indianapolis totaled 401 yards for the game. The Colts were especially effective in extending drives, going 5-of-11 on third down and 3-of-3 on fourth down.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert put up monster stats in defeat, hitting 37 of 55 passes for 420 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. But Los Angeles (4-3) rushed for just 54 yards on 16 attempts, largely abandoning the running game after Indianapolis established a 23-3 halftime lead.

Cowboys 44, Commanders 22

Dak Prescott passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns and Dallas routed Washington in Arlington, Texas.

CeeDee Lamb caught five passes for 110 yards and a touchdown for Dallas (3-3-1) in his return after missing three games with an ankle injury. Jake Ferguson had two touchdown catches, and Javonte Williams rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game in the third quarter with a right hamstring injury sustained on a strip-sack fumble. He was 12 of 22 for 156 yards with a passing and rushing touchdown.

Packers 27, Cardinals 23

Josh Jacobs rushed for two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 1-yard scoring run with 1:50 left, as Green Bay edged host Arizona in Glendale.

Nursing a strained left calf, Jacobs helped send Arizona (2-5) to its fifth straight defeat, all by one score. Jacobs finished with 55 yards on 13 carries to go with the two scores. Micah Parsons registered his first three-sack

game as a member of the Packers.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and tight end Trey McBride connected on a pair of touchdowns for Arizona, but Green Bay rallied to improve to 4-1-1. Playing in relief of the injured Kyler Murray, Brissett went 25 of 36 for 279 yards and two touchdowns.

Player Notes
Jayden Daniels Oct 19 8:10pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels exited Sunday's loss against the Cowboys after taking a sack early in the third quarter. He did not return to the contest, sparking plenty of concern about his fantasy football outlook going forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Quinn didn't have much of an update postgame, other than confirming that the quarterback's injury is significant enough to require additional testing. We'll likely receive more information Monday on the specifics of Daniels' injury, including whether he'll miss any time. If the former No. 2 pick can't suit up in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Mariota would be in line to make his third start of the season.

Justin Herbert Oct 19 8:00pm CT
Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden caught seven of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The highlight of his game was a 53-yard catch on the second play of the third quarter, but his 15-yard touchdown was impressive, too. The rookie has broken out recently, catching 14 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. He is the overall TE1 in PPR leagues over the last two weeks. Although that's a relatively small sample size to assess, Sunday's big game showed that Gadsden's sudden success is no fluke. He should continue to operate as a primary target for Justin Herbert, giving him high-end TE2 appeal with TE1 upside.

Kyler Murray Oct 19 8:00pm CT
Kyler Murray

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starter when he is healthy enough to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals are 0-2 in Murray's absence under Jacoby Brissett, but they've played close games against two tough teams, sparking at least a little bit of quarterback discussion. Furthermore, during that two-week span, Brissett has completed 65 percent of his passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Cardinals have a Week 8 bye, with a very real chance for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's active for that game, Murray would be a low-end QB1 given Dallas' tendency to engage in high-scoring shootouts.

Justin Herbert Oct 19 7:50pm CT
Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 37 of his 55 pass attempts for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. He also took three sacks and led the team with 31 rushing yards. Herbert turned in his best fantasy performance of the season thanks to his extremely high yardage total and three touchdowns, but the two picks -- plus Los Angeles' struggles running the football and Indianapolis' strong offense -- made it tough for the Bolts to overcome an early deficit. Herbert remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy football, though, and he should continue to be started heading into Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jonathan Taylor Oct 19 7:30pm CT
Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 38 receiving yards. Taylor turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in PPR leagues, shrinking the gap between him and this year's overall RB1, Christian McCaffrey. The 26-year-old has scored three touchdowns in three different games this season, totaling 10 scores over his last five contests. Taylor should continue to feast next week against a Titans defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered 88 yards and a touchdown to Rhamondre Stevenson. He's in the mix to be next week's overall RB1.

Jaxson Dart Oct 19 7:30pm CT
Jaxson Dart

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 11 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. This was Dart's first career four-touchdown game -- he had previously never scored more than twice -- but it wasn't enough as the Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone, taking down New York with a field goal as time expired. Dart, a rookie, played solid in the defeat, especially considering how effective Denver's defense has been this year. The loss was unfortunate, but from a fantasy perspective, 283 passing yards and four total touchdowns are nothing to complain about. He'll remain in the low-end QB1 conversation for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In his last outing against Philly, he had 195 passing yards, 58 rushing yards, two total touchdowns, and zero turnovers.

Travis Hunter Oct 19 7:11pm CT
Travis Hunter

Dynasty | Jags rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter had eight catches on 14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Hunter posted career highs across the board as it seems as if the Jaguars made a concerted effort to get him the ball this week. Of course, it didn't hurt Hunter's chances when they fell behind early and forced Trevor Lawrence to throw the ball nearly 50 times. This is a good building block for Hunter, whose dynasty value and rookie ranking will rise this week.

Rashee Rice Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Rashee Rice

Dynasty | Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice had seven catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: This was Rice's first game back after missing 22 contests with a torn ACL and serving a suspension. It was clearly a monster return for Rice, who looks the part of a WR1 moving forward yet again. While Patrick Mahomes seems content spreading the ball around, it's hard to look at Rice and think he's not the #1 option in the passing game moving forward. Savvy dynasty managers bought on Rice a long time ago and those who didn't are likely kicking themselves.

Ashton Jeanty Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Ashton Jeanty

Dynasty | Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 21 rushing yards, one catch and 13 receiving yards in a loss to the Chiefs. Dynasty Analysis: The Raiders had 95 net yards on offense on the day. Ninety. Five. This was hardly Jeanty's fault as he only had seven touches on the day. The Raiders are consistently finding themselves in negative game scripts and it's been a mess all season. With Geno Smith completely ineffective, defenses are teeing off on Jeanty and the Raiders haven't been able to counter. This is quickly looking like a bit of a lost season for Jeanty, who needs an infusion of talent and perhaps a different scheme to truly break out. His ranking is slipping a little but most realize some of this isn't his fault.

Patrick Mahomes Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 26 of his 35 pass attempts for 286 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also rushed for 28 yards and took just one sack. Mahomes looked terrific in the commanding 31-0 divisional victory, showcasing an ability to connect with several of his receivers. Most notably, he found Rashee Rice for seven completions and two touchdowns in the receiver's return from a six-game suspension. With one more weapon at his disposal, Mahomes has the Chiefs well-positioned to make a push for the AFC West title and No. 1 seed in the conference. From a fantasy perspective, he continues to be a mid-to-high QB1.

Bo Nix Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Bo Nix

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 27 of his 50 pass attempts for 279 yards, two passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Giants. He also added 49 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. The Broncos couldn't get anything going for most of this game as they were held scoreless through three quarters. However, fueled by Nix's four scores, the Broncos marched back in the fourth quarter, scored 33 points, and pulled off an improbable 33-32 win at the buzzer. Nix ultimately had his best fantasy performance of the season, moving into low-end QB1 territory going forward. He should be started in most leagues ahead of a potential Week 8 shootout against the Dallas Cowboys.

From RotoBaller

Chris Olave Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Chris Olave

Dynasty | Saints wide receiver Chris Olave had five catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to the Bears. Dynasty Analysis: The Saints haven't played well but you can hardly blame Olave, who is vying for Comeback Player of the Year honors. Spencer Rattler is limiting the offense but Olave has found a way to post a 44/440/3 line through seven weeks. While his ceiling is limited, Olave is finding a way to post high floors every week. His ADP is rising, despite his injury risk.

Kyle Monangai Oct 19 7:09pm CT
Kyle Monangai

Dynasty | Bears running back Kyle Monangai had 81 rushing yards, two catches, 13 receiving yards and a touchdown in a win against the Saints. Dynasty Analysis: While one might look at the box score and figure Monangai posted these numbers in garbage time, it really wasn't the case. He was strong all day and created a solid "1B" to the "1A" of D'Andre Swift. Monangai is undoubtedly owned in your dynasty league but it's certainly worth checking as he's a player clearly on the rise.

Tyrod Taylor Oct 19 6:53pm CT
Tyrod Taylor

New York Jets QB Tyrod Taylor completed 10-of-22 passes for 126 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers, while running three times for 11 yards, coming in during the second half for the ineffective QB Justin Fields.

Fantasy Spin: Taylor had a terrible time filling in, but at least the team moved through the air. With a full week of preparation with the starters, perhaps the results will be different if he moves into a starting role. Whether it is Fields or Taylor under center for Gang Green, neither should be used as anything more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues at this point.

Jayden Daniels Oct 19 6:40pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He initially exited during the third quarter and was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. The former No. 2 pick was seen walking to the locker room. While doing so, he gave a thumbs-up to the crowd. Ultimately, though, the team has decided that he won't be able to return. It's possible that the score factored into this decision, as Washington has consistently been trailing by three possessions. Daniels finishes the game having completed 12 of 22 passes for 156 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 35 yards. Marcus Mariota will finish the game as the Commanders' quarterback.

Marcus Mariota Oct 19 6:23pm CT
Marcus Mariota

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring) left the Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys in the second half, and he will not return due to a hamstring injury. QB Marcus Mariota will finish up the game. Daniels finished 12-of-22 for 156 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, while running eight times for 35 yards and a TD.

Fantasy Spin: Daniels was nicked up earlier in the season already, and now he is on the shelf again. It's part of the deal with mobile quarterbacks, as sometimes they're subject to a few more nicks and bruises, sometimes even more serious. Sadly, he was hurt here when twisted around awkwardly in the pocket, pulling a hammy. Fantasy managers are back to holding their breath again. Perhaps he didn't return as a precaution, as the game was out of hand at the time. When his status is updated by the coaching staff, we'll pass it along.

Chuba Hubbard Oct 19 6:13pm CT
Chuba Hubbard

Dynasty | Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard returned from injury to post 31 rushing yards, two catches, and 24 receiving yards in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: More importantly, Hubbard started the game over the red-hot Rico Dowdle. Hubbard didn't do nearly as much as Dowdle but the Panthers seemed content to just rotate their backs on every series. It's a great opportunity for Carolina to keep their runners fresh but this could create a nightmare in fantasy leagues. Hubbard is looking like a flex player at this point.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Tyrod Taylor Oct 19 6:13pm CT
Tyrod Taylor

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Justin Fields completed 6-of-12 passes for 46 yards, while adding 22 rushing yards before being benched in favor of Tyrod Taylor. Dynasty Analysis: Fields had a great opportunity to prove he belongs as a starting quarterback in the NFL this year and has simply failed miserably. Today was much of the same from Fields who simply struggles to throw a football with any kind of accuracy. The Jets are now 0-7 in a lost season and may turn to Tyrod Taylor (who was also awful) in the hopes of simply winning a game. Regardless, it looks like the Jets could be a team with a top-5 draft pick and again looking for that elusive franchise quarterback. As for Fields, his dynasty value is just about sunk.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Breece Hall Oct 19 6:13pm CT
Breece Hall

Dynasty | Jets running back Breece Hall had 38 rushing yards, two catches and 14 receiving yards in a loss to the Panthers. Dynasty Analysis: The Jets are a mess and Hall is in the midst of a simply terrible season as a result. He's gone from a potential RB1 to hardly playable in dynasty leagues at this point. He needs to be traded prior to the deadline to salvage any kind of return this season and the Jets have to be considering it at this point. Hall is likely going to be playing elsewhere next season, so dynasty managers could have a buy low opportunity at the moment.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Matthew Stafford Oct 19 6:13pm CT
Matthew Stafford

Dynasty | Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 21-of-33 passes for 182 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions in a blowout win over Jacksonville. Dynasty Analysis: This was Stafford's first five-touchdown game since 2016 and first ever with the Rams. It inexplicably came with Puka Nacua out for the week but Stafford hit ten different receivers in what can only be described as a masterpiece. His dynasty value really can't go up at any point this year as any season can be his last, but he remains an easy QB1 to start every week.
