A year ago in Las Vegas, the Dolphins stunned the Raiders via a late fourth-quarter rally. The quarterback would Jacoby Brissett and not Tua Tagovaiola (or Ryan Fitzpatrick). Thanks to Elandon Roberts’ 85-yard interception return for a score and a 24-yard run by Malcolm Brown, Miami owned a 14-0 first-quarter lead.

The ‘Fins struggled to stop Derek Carr through the air. Brian Flores’ team did send the game into overtime but came up short.

Off a tough overtime loss at home to the Titans in which Pete Carroll’s team squandered a 14-point fourth-quarter lead, the Seahawks looked to rebound by continuing their winning ways vs. the Vikings.

Including playoffs, Seattle had won the last seven games in the series. And Carroll’s club owned a 17-7 lead in the second quarter before things got away from the defending NFC West champions – who allowed 453 total yards in a second straight loss.

team. 56. . 2-1. Previous: . Cincinnati Bengals. 16

The Bengals headed to Pittsburgh for the first of their two annual meetings with the Steelers. Quarterback Joe Burrow threw an early interception but wound up connecting on 14-of-18 passes for 172 yards and three scores – a pair to former LSU teammate Ja’Marr Chase.

Cincinnati linebacker Logan Wilson picked off Ben Roethlisberger twice and the defense sacked him four times while limiting Pittsburgh’s running attack to 45 yards on 15 carries.
