    Prior to that touchdown, Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II entered the medical tent and is currently questionable to return.

    Surtain is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and is currently having a lower leg injury assessed.

    That's the Cowboys that we've seen most of the year - the team that doesn't get a stop.

    Their offence keeps them in games but their defence is the reason they can't win them.

    RJ Harvey, that is superb!

    An excellent couple of plays for the Broncos. Bo Nix finds Troy Franklin for a 26-yard pass and two downs later, Harvey rushes from 40 yards for an early Broncos touchdown.

    Will Lutz converts the extra-point for a 7-3 lead.

  5. Saints shut out Bucs on goallinepublished at 20:46 GMT 26 October 2025

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0-0 New Orleans Saints

    Stunning from the Saints defence!

    Baker Mayfield drove the Bucs 91 yards down the field to set up a full set of downs from the one-yard line.

    Tampa call four run plays but neither Sean Tucker nor Rachaad White can them over the line.

    Clutch from New Orleans.

    Dallas can't be too disappointed. They're on the road and they forced that turnover. They should've had a touchdown there though.

    In fairness to Tampa Bay, their injury list on offence is brutal.

    Star running Bucky Irving has missed four games with injury.

    Signature receiver Mike Evans came back after two games out on Monday only to fracture his collarbone and head onto injured reserve.

    Fellow receiver Chris Godwin is still not fully back after rupturing his ACL last season.

    It's been tough!

    Dak Prescott is off to a flyer!

    He fires in a 29-yard pass to CeeDee Lamb to take the Cowboys on the brink of the goal line.

    The Cowboys cannot get over in three downs from close range, but Brandon Aubrey's kick for an early field goal from 24 yards is good.

    What started as a real promising drive ended with a Michael Badgley field goal for the current number one seed, Colts.

    Daniel Jones was slinging it early on but the Titans defence held their own down in the redzone.

    Very little to report from the Bucs v Saints game over in New Orleans.

    Sixty yards offence for the home team and just 26 yards from Baker Mayfield's Buccaneers.

    Little wonder there has yet to be a score in this NFC South matchup.

    Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix, who threw an 11-yard pass in the second down of the game, is picked off by cornerback Trikweze Bridges just inside the Cowboys' half.

    Start as you mean to go on, Dallas.

    What a game!

    After a really strong start by the Bengals, they looked like they could run away with it at half-time with the Jets having no answer to Joe Flacco and his offence.

    However, Justin Fields still looked good under centre for the Jets, and led the comeback, his two-point conversion keeping them alive at the start of the fourth quarter,

    The Bengals had no answer for back-to-back Jets touchdowns, including the winning score being thrown by running back Breece Hall to rookie tight end Mason Taylor.

    The win finally gave the Jets a first victory of the season and left the stunned Bengals at 3-5.

    The 1-6 Tennessee Titans travel to divisional rivals, the 6-1 Indianapolis Colts in one of the three late slate games.

    Led by a revitalised Daniel Jones, the Colts currently hold the one seed in the NFL with their only defeat so far coming in week four against the Los Angeles Rams.

    Jones has been near faultless throwing 10 touchdowns and three interceptions across the first seven weeks while Jonathan Taylor has been an absolute bell cow at running-back and leads the league with 697 rushing yards.

    The Colts put up 41 points when these two met in September and will fancy their chances at going big once more.

    All eyes on New Orleans as we kick off the late window and it's not a great start for the Saints as quarterback Spencer Rattler fumbles on the opening drive.

    No harm done though as Tampa go three and out with their first possession.

    Stays scoreless in the Big Easy.

    Prior to today, no NFL team has won five games in a row this season. The Denver Broncos could do that this evening when they host the Dallas Cowboys.

    The Broncos' last three wins have all been close games, winning 21-17, 13-11 and 33-32 to move top of the NFC West.

    The Dallas Cowboys have as even a record as they could do from their first seven matches. Three wins, three losses and one draw.

    Inspired by Dak Prescott's three passing touchdowns, the Cowboys were 44-22 winners over the Washington Commanders three weeks ago.

  19. FT: Eagles impress as Skattebo suffers injurypublished at 20:10 GMT 26 October 2025

    New York Giants 20-38 Philadelphia Eagles

    The Philadelphia Eagles backed up last week's win in Minnesota with an impressive win over their divisional rivals.

    Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns as he looked to return to form but his day was marred by a hamstring injury that kept him out of action for the entire fourth quarter.

    The result was arguably the least of the Giants' worries in the end as their star rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a serious ankle injury in the second quarter.

    Reports suggest that it may be a dislocated ankle which would likely end his season.

    Five wins in a row for the New England Patriots whose season continues to gather pace.

    They barely got out of second gear against the Cleveland Browns despite a stratospheric performance from defensive end Myles Garrett who sacked Patriots quarterback Drake Maye five times.

    Mike Vrabel’s Patriots ascend to 6-2 with the Browns going the other way to 2-6.
