New England Patriots. 15. team. 47. . 5-4. Previous:

For the first time this season, Bill Belichick’s club found itself above the .500 mark thanks to a win in which the team did not allow a touchdown. The Patriots limited Carolina to 240 total yards and a pair of field goals.

And cornerback J.C. Jackson had two of the team’s three interceptions of Sam Darnold, returning one of those thefts 88 yards for a TD. And with the Bills’ surprising loss at Jacksonville, New England and Buffalo both now have five wins.

Previous: . Cleveland Browns. 14. team. 53. . 5-4

The Browns and Bengals renewed their intrastate rivalry at Cincinnati. Kevin Stefanski’s club had dropped three of its last four games entering this divisional setting. And the club arguably played its most complete games of the season.

Nick Chubb had 137 of Cleveland’s 153 yards on the ground and scored twice. Baker Mayfield threw for 218 yards and two TDs. It all started with Denzel Ward’s 99-yard interception return for a score off Joe Burrow.

Las Vegas Raiders. 13. team. 28. . 5-3. Previous:

Off a week ago, the Silver and Black made their way east to MetLife Stadium to take on the struggling Giants. Quarterback Derek Carr finished with 296 yards through the air but had a rough afternoon.

However, one of his two interceptions wound up being a pick-six and he also lost a fumble. The Raider reached the end zone just once in the loss. The Las Vegas’ defense limited the Giants to 245 total yards, but 149 of that came on the ground.
