We assumed we knew this story. There were brilliant moments, stellar individual performances, and stretches where it looked like Atlanta would cruise to an unlikely win. Then it seemed that they were undone by the same errors that have cropped up all season, fresh waves of penalties, and failures by players the Falcons have been forced to count on when the team needed them most.
They also gave the ball away three times after recording just one turnover in the first four games of the season. A good-looking drive by the Bills ended with their second giveaway of the season. Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen botched a handoff when he was bumped into by tight end Dawson Knox. That loose fumble was picked up by Patriots rookie defensive lineman Joshua Farmer.

On a night in which the Seahawks allowed a blowout to turn into a nailbiter, the Darnold-to-Smith-Njigba helped them escape State Farm Stadium with a 23-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals on a 52-yard Jason Myers field goal as time expired.
The Cleveland Browns hit a game-winning field goal as time expired to beat the Green Bay Packers 13-10. The field goal came just a few plays after the Browns blocked a Packers field goal attempt that would've given them a 13-10 lead with less than 30 seconds left in the game. It took some time, but the scoring picked up in the second quarter. Green Bay hit a 39-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead.
CJ Daniels made a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab and Rueben Bain Jr. had an interception on a thrice-deflected pass in the fourth quarter for the Hurricanes, who outgained Notre Dame 324 yards to 314. Malachi Toney had a touchdown catch and CharMar Brown added a TD run for Miami. CJ Carr, in his first start for Notre Dame, finished 19 of 30 for 221 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception -- plus a rushing score with 3:21 left
