Miami Dolphins. 9. team. 59. . 8-5. Previous:

Mike McDaniel’s club was cooled off last week at San Francisco. The Dolphins took on the Chargers in the second of three straight road games. Once again, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had his issues and would complete just 10 of his 28 throws for 145 yards and one score.

Speedy Tyreek Hill scored on a 57-yard fumble return and a 60-yard catch. The Miami defense sacked Justin Herbert four times but he still threw for 367 yards and one touchdown.

26. . 9-4. Previous: . Baltimore Ravens. 8. team

Tyler Huntley would get the start in place of Lamar Jackson as the Ravens visited the Steelers. He wound up exiting the game in the third quarter (concussion). Enter Anthony Brown, who threw only five passes.

Baltimore’s ground attack and defense owned the day. J.K. Dobbins finished with 120 of the club’s 215 rushing yards and scored the Ravens’ only TD. The defense knocked Kenny Pickett out of the game and intercepted Mitch Trubisky three times.

team. 60. . 10-3. Previous: . Minnesota Vikings. 7

Back in Week 3 at home, the Vikings rallied to beat the Lions. Now the club looked to sweep this NFC North series for the fifth time in six years. With a win, Kevin O’Connell’s club would wrap up a division title.

Early in the third quarter, Minnesota found itself down 14 points and was never able to catch up. The Vikings’ disappointing defense allowed 464 total yards, was unable to sack Detroit quarterback Jared Goff and failed to come up with a takeaway.
