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

Bill Belichick’s club not only looked to extend its 12-game winning streak over the Jets but get back to the .500 mark. It took a bit as the Patriots trailed 10-6 at the half. Belichick’s defense picked off Zach Wilson three times.

Mac Jones had his issues despite throwing a TD pass to Jakobi Meyers. He was sacked six times and intercepted once. In New England’s 13 straight wins in this series, the Pats have outscored the Jets by a combined 400-150.

team. 44. . 4-4. Previous: . Atlanta Falcons. 14

The Falcons hosted the Panthers in hopes of not only even their win-loss record but to grab the top spot in the NFC South. Arthur Smith’s pulled out a victory with a few assists from Carolina in regulation as well as overtime.

After the Panthers missed a field goal in OT, Marcus Mariota guided his team 55 yards on eight plays in the extra session and Younghoe Koo kicked the game-winner from 41 yards out. Atlanta is 4-2 in its last six games after a 0-2 start.

team. 42. . 4-4. Previous: . San Francisco 49ers. 13

Kyle Shanahan’s club was looking to sweep the Rams during the regular season for the fourth consecutive year. The 49ers spotted Los Angeles a 7-0 lead and then it turned into the Christian McCaffrey Show.

He would throw a 34-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk, total 18 carries for 94 yards and one score and caught eight passes for 85 yards and another touchdown. Down 14-7 in the second quarter, the Niners scored the final 24 points of the game.
