Monday report
Kansas City's defence delivered a strong comeback display in the Chiefs' 29-19 victory over the Denver Broncos.
After back-to-back losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Oakland Raiders, Kansas forced five turnovers in a dominant performance at the Arrowheads Stadium.
Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian was denied on three occasions and the Chiefs picked up two fumbles, converting one into a touchdown.
The Chiefs' newcomer kicker Harrison Butker put away five field goals, while Alex Smith secured a touchdown pass and threw for 202 yards.
Kansas City lead the Western Conference after winning six and losing two, while the Broncos are in second with three wins and four losses.
Sunday review
A trip to London could not help the winless Cleveland Browns as the Minnesota Vikings ground their way to a 33-16 victory at Twickenham.
Browns coach Hue Jackson was on the staff for the London Monarchs when they won the inaugural World Bowl back in 1991, but his return to the capital ended in the familiar feeling of defeat as Cleveland dropped to 0-8 on the season.
Vikings quarterback Case Keenum threw for 288 yards and two touchdowns while Adam Thielen had five catches for 98 yards and a score, though this was hardly a dominant performance from a Minnesota team who, at 6-2, have designs on the play-offs and the dream of playing in the Super Bowl in their home stadium come February.
Carson Wentz threw for two touchdowns as the NFL-leading Philadelphia Eagles extended their winning streak to six games with a 33-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Philadelphia improved to 7-1 as Wentz threw for 211 yards and one interception, firing a 53-yard TD pass to Alshon Jeffery and a one-yard pass to Zach Ertz. Wentz leads the NFL with 19 touchdown passes.
Jalen Mills intercepted C.J. Beathard for a touchdown and Wentz also connected with Jeffery for a two-point conversion.
Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to a 21-13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers as he threw for 333 yards and a touchdown.
Brady found Rob Gronkowski with a two-yard toss for the Patriots' lone touchdown, while Stephen Gostkowski kicked four field goals.
Drew Brees passed for 299 yards in the New Orleans' Saints' 20-12 win over the Chicago Bears.
Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara each ran for touchdowns as Brees completed 23 of 28 passes.
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap ran for 16 yards for his third career touchdown to help the Cincinnati Bengals edge a 24-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts and Matt Ryan's two touchdown passes guided the Atlanta Falcons past the New York Jets 25-20.
Elsewhere, Matt Milano scored on a 40-yard fumble return in the Buffalo Bills' 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders and Cam Newton threw for 154 yards and a touchdown as the Carolina Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 17-3.
Ezekiel Elliot ran for 150 yards and scored two touchdowns as the Dallas Cowboys dismissed the Washington Redskins 33-19 in Maryland, while JuJu Smith-Schuster helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win 20-15 against the Detroit Lions thanks to a 97-yard touchdown.
Thursday report
Joe Flacco threw for 101 yards and a touchdown before a concussion saw him leave the game early as the Baltimore Ravens dominated the Miami Dolphins 40-0 on Thursday night.
The quarterback connected with Jeremy Maclin on a 34-yard pass in the first quarter before he received a heavy blow from linebacker Kiko Alonso as he slid after a run.
Ryan Mallett came in and picked up a touchdown of his own on a two-yard pass to Benjamin Watson before half-time.
It remained one-way traffic after the break. CJ Mosley caught the eye with a 63-yard interception return for a touchdown, Chris Moore recovered a fumble in the end zone to put the Ravens 32-0 up and Jimmy Smith returned a 50-yard interception to score.
Miami's Matt Moore finished the day having completed 25 of 44 passes for 176 yards, and with two interceptions.
