The NFL delivered another thrilling Sunday with five teams maintaining their unbeaten record. Twelve of 14 games were decided by eight points or fewer, tying the league record for most one-score games in a single day. In a gripping primetime clash, the Denver Broncos defeated the Los Angeles Rams 30-26 after a dramatic finish.

Talanoa Hufanga claimed two interceptions, including a 66-yard touchdown return, while Bo Nix and Matt Stafford exchanged late scores. The Washington Commanders halted Seattle's 12-game win streak with a 33-31 victory, fueled by Marcus Mariota and Kain Medrano. In Rio de Janeiro, the Baltimore Ravens defeated the Dallas Cowboys 31-24 after a late field goal forced overtime, where Lamar Jackson engineered the winning drive.

Concerns over the Maracana field conditions proved unfounded as the NFL returned to Brazil for the first time in Rio. Drake Maye was benched after seven turnovers, as the Jacksonville Jaguars romped to a 35-6 win over the New England Patriots. The Washington Commanders now sit at 1-2, while the Baltimore Ravens are 2-1.
