  1. field goal

    Field goal - Bengals

    New York Jets 0-3 Cincinnati Bengals

    The Jets defence has put up a good fight so far but the Bengals manage to find something with Evan McPherson converting a 26-yard field goal.

  2. field goal

    Field goal - Bears

    Chicago Bears 3-0 Baltimore Ravens

    The Chicago Bears are ahead following a 32-yard field goal from Cairo Santos.

    Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will have hoped for a touchdown, having had three attempts to make the six yards to the end zone, only to be sacked nine yards on third down by Michael Green.

  3. field goal

    Field goal - Patriots

    Cleveland Browns 0–3 New England Patriots

    First points on the board for the Patriots as they look to make it five wins in a row.

    Nice drive from Drake Maye and company but they're stopped short and settle for a 36-yard field goal, kicked by Andy Borregales.

  4. Will the Jets find a win?

    The Jets will be coming off their worst game of the season where they struggled to score a touchdown in a 13-6 loss against the Panthers.

    Justin Fields was benched for the second half last week with Tyrod Taylor as his replacement but the former Bears and Steelers quarterback will be under centre today.

    Key Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner will be out, following a concussion sustained last week and the winless side will feel the effects of his absence as they face Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, arguably the NFL's best receiving duo.

    After a divisional win against the Steelers, the Bengals could move to 4-4 with a home victory here. Last week, they put up 470 yards with 142 on the ground and 328 in the air.

  5. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Chicago Bears 0-0 Baltimore Ravens

    A hectic start between the Bears and the Ravens in Baltimore.

    A nasty contact on the kick-off return leaves Dominique Robinson holding his lower leg and needing treatment.

    He hobbles off and that was before the first snap of the match, in which Caleb Williams completes an 18-yard pass to Colston Loveland.

  6. touchdown

    Touchdown - Eagles

    New York Giants 0-7 Philadelphia Eagles

    Saquon Barkley may be back?

    A huge run from Barkley absolutely torches the New York Giants defence for the first score of the day inside one minute.

    A dream start for the Super Bowl champions. A nightmare one for the Giants.

  7. Week eight is go!

    It's just ticked past 5pm so you know what that means - balls are being kicked off and week eight is go!

    We'll bring you all the scores and big moments as they happen.

  8. Cousins to lead the London-less Falcons

    Veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins will lead out the Atlanta Falcons for the first this season this evening with starter Michael Penix Jr inactive with knee injury.

    The Falcons will also be without top wide-receiver Drake London who is suffering with a hip problem.

    Despite the issues for Raheem Morris, the Miami Dolphins have given up over 20 points in every single match so far this season and the Falcons will be more than confident that they can inflict even more misery on the AFC East franchise.

  9. 49ers hoping to avoid Texans upset

    San Francisco 49ers @ Houston Texans (17:00 GMT)

    Only the Indianapolis Colts and Green Bay Packers have been records this season than the San Francisco 49ers.

    They start the day 5-2, inspired by the running game of Christian McCaffrey.

    The Houston Texans' winning streak came to an end against the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night and currently have a 2-4 record.

    Texans quarterback CJ Stroud has thrown seven touchdown passes in his last three games, including four against the Baltimore Ravens three weeks ago.

  10. Maye for MVP?

    Cleveland Browns @ New England Patriots (17:00 GMT)

    Drake MayeGetty Images

    New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has lit up the NFL in his second season, setting a franchise record last weekend with his 91% pass completion percentage.

    Not bad when you consider the guy he's succeeded - seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady.

    Today, his stat line of 12 touchdowns to two interceptions takes on the Cleveland Browns who, despite their 2-5 record, boast of the league's meanest defensive lines.

    Attack v defence? It'll be a good chance to evaluate if Maye's early case for MVP is legit.

  11. Will the Bears continue winning stream against struggling Ravens?

    Chicago Bears @ Baltimore Ravens (17:00 GMT)

    The Chicago Bears head into their trip to the Baltimore Ravens off the back of four straight victories, leaving them 4-2 for the season.

    Following back-to-back 25-24 wins over the Las Vegas Raiders and Washington Commanders, a 26-14 victory over the New Orleans Saints a week ago continued the Bears' run as one of the most in-form teams in the league.

    The Baltimore Ravens' form is the exact opposite after four straight losses, with their 1-5 record among the worst in this season's NFL.

    A major area of concern has been the Ravens' offence. Their last two matches without quarterback Lamar Jackson has seen them score a combined total of just 13 points.

  12. Return of the Red Rifle

    Buffalo Bills @ Carolina Panthers (17:00 GMT)

    Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is set for his first start of the season for the Carolina Panthers after Bryce Young picked up an ankle injury in last weekend's 13-6 victory over the New York Jets.

    It will be the 169th career start for the 37-year-old and seventh since joining the Panthers in 2023.

    He is 1-5 as a starter in Carolina, with his only victory coming in a 36-22 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in September 2024.

  13. Can the Giants sweep the Eagles?

    These two NFC East rivals meet for the second time this month with the New York Giants looking to complete the sweep over the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time since 2007.

    The Giants pulled off one of the shock results of the season so far in week six when they put up 34 points to see off the Eagles 34-17.

    It also marked the first time since 1998 that the Giants had beaten defending Super Bowl champions.
