Welcome to Week 10’s grades! This week delivered drama for those who love it: out of the 12 games played by the 4 p.m. ET window, seven were decided by five points or less.
Sunday started in Germany with a thrilling overtime victory for the Panthers against the Giants. Then, Kansas City injected more drama by pulling off one of the most improbable wins of the season. The Chiefs blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt from the Broncos on the final play, securing their undefeated season with a remarkable 16-14 win.
To put this victory in perspective: Since 2000, there have been 108 potential game-tying/go-ahead field goal attempts of 35 yards or shorter in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter. This was the only one blocked.
The drama extended into Sunday night as the Lions staged a stunning comeback from a 16-point deficit to defeat the Texans on a last-second field goal. Amidst the chaos, Jared Goff threw five interceptions.
Now, let’s dive into Week 10’s grades, starting with Miami’s Monday night victory over the Los Angeles Rams—a relatively drama-free affair:
Miami 23-15 over L.A. Rams
Carolina 20-17 (OT) over N.Y. Giants in Germany
New England 19-3 over Chicago
Buffalo 30-20 Indianapolis
Kansas City 16-14 over Denver
New Orleans 20-17 over Atlanta
San Francisco 23-20 over Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh 28-27 over Washington

L.A. Chargers 27-17 over Tennessee
Philadelphia 34-6 Dallas
