Yahoo Sports Staff Updated Sun, November 1, 2026 at 10:35 PM UTC About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement We've got another exciting slate of NFL games for Week 8, with three more games in the afternoon window.
The early window offered plenty of excitement, with two games going into overtime, including Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals vs. Dallas Cowboys. The Titans clung to life as safety Amani Hooker intercepted Joe Burrow three times and running back Tony Pollard continued to shine, but Burrow's five touchdowns (including two to Tee Higgins).
The Cardinals had an opportunity to win it in regulation, but a missed extra point attempt from kicker Chad Ryland sent it into OT. He made up for it with a 42-yard field goal to seal the win, 33-30.
The Detroit Lions handed the Minnesota Vikings their first loss of the season , but it came at a price, as All-Pro linebacker Jack Campbell was carted off and taken to the hospital with a neck injury .
The Baltimore Ravens also got some tough injury news, as quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered a thumb injury in his throwing hand on his first pass attempt of the game as he returned from an ankle injury. He was ruled out and, per head coach Jesse Minter, will be placed on injured reserve as he undergoes surgery.
Follow along with Yahoo Sports for live updates, highlights and more from Week 8's Sunday games.
The Chiefs quarterback was about to get destroyed by a defender, but he barely got the pass off.
It floats to Emmett Johnson, who then uses his speed to get down the field. He had one defender to beat and actually stumbled, but it threw off the defender and helped Johnson get in the end zone for the score.
Justin Herbert aired the ball out right before half time. Quentin Johnston hit the ball and it ended up in the hands of Ladd McConkey.
The Rams defenders kept him out of the end zone though, so it just goes down as a 54-yard completion as the game has gone to halftime.
The drive started with Puka Nacua having a nine-yard reception. Tutu Atwell then showed off the wheels and picked up 40.
Matthew Stafford hit Kyren Williams for three yards and then Nacua got down to the 1-yard line with a 13-yard gain. Williams punched it in for the score.
The Rams lead 10-9 with 19 seconds to go before halftime.
It looked like Kansas City's offense figured out a cheat code against Denver's defense on its second drive of the game. The Chiefs went all the way down the field, and it ended in a Rashee Rice touchdown.
Since then, Kansas City has run six offensive plays, gained eight yards and punted twice.
Still, the Chiefs lead 7-6 with 13:46 left in the first half.
Dicker has hit yet another field goal, this one from 41 yards out.
On the other side of the two-minute warning, the Chargers lead 9-6, but the Rams will get the ball with the chance to make some noise before halftime.
Bo Nix hit Courtland Sutton for a 23-yard gain to end the first quarter. The Broncos then had two incompletions sandwiching a 7-yard run which brought up fourth and three.
Wil Lutz came on for the 45-yard attempt and made it.
The Rams are currently allergic to first downs. They have had five drives so far, and all of them but one have been three plays, followed by either a punt or an interception.
The lone outlier was a drive that ended in a field goal after three plays.
Travis Kelce had a flse start on the second play of the Chiefs' drive moving them back five yards.
Patrick Mahomes then had a four-yard pass and an eight-yard pass, but couldn't pick up the yardage needed after the penalty.
Kansas City punts it back to Denver up 7-3 late in the first quarter.
The Chargers offense continues to look competent, but just runs out of steam.
Kicker Cameron Dicker came on and hit the 46-yard field goal to give the Chargers a 6-3 lead early in the second quarter.
Herbert had a completion on the drive that went 15 yards to Tre Harris and followed it up with a 20-yard completion to Charlie Kolar.
The broadcast even shouted out Mike McDaniel's good play calling after the two plays.
The Broncos couldn't answer Patrick Mahomes' passing touchdown.
Denver went three-and-out after a three-yard completion to Troy Franklin, a five-yard gain by a Marvin Mims rush and an incompletion.
The Rams had the ball at the start of the second quarter, but still can't figure out the Chargers defense.
The Chiefs have missed Rashee Rice. The wide receiver suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4 and this was his first game back after recovering.
Rice showed how important he is to the offense by coming down with the 11-yard score.
Finally, the Chargers offense looks alive in this game. Justin Herbert led a nine-play, 56-yard drive that included a 30-yard completion to Ladd McConkey.
The drive did stall in the red zone, but Cameron Dicker was able to hit the 34-yard field goal to tie the game right at the end of the first quarter.
The Titans fought hard, but a turnover on downs in OT sealed the game for the Bengals.
Joe Burrow had 6 total touchdowns and three interceptions in the win.
Denver's first drive ends in points, but the Broncos were kept out of the end zone.
After an 8-play, 62-yard drive, Wil Lutz nailed the 39-yard field goal for the game's first points.
Broncos 3, Chiefs 0 early in the first quarter.
Gardner Minshew led the Cardinals to a comeback win over the Cowboys that ended in overtime.
Chad Ryland nailed the 42-yard field goal to win the game after missing the extra point at the end of regulation to go to overtime.
The Bengals and Titans went to OT tied at 36. Cincinnati got the ball first and the Bengals drove the field.
It ended with quarterback Joe Burrow keeping the ball himself for a rushing touchdown. Cincinnati kicked the extra point and now Tennessee must score a touchdown on its drive or the game is over.
Ravens head coach Jesse Minter told the media after the game that Lamar Jackson needs surgery on his thumb and he will go on IR.
This means Jackson has to miss Baltimore's next four games. The quarterback will be eligible to return at the earliest after the team's bye in Week 13.
Minter said "we'll see" when asked if the injury is season ending.
The Rams were unable to fully capitalize on the field position gained after intercepting Justin Herbert.
After picking up eight on two completions, Matthew Stafford had an incompletion.
This set up a 30-yard field goal for Brandon McManus, and he made it.
Justin Herbert's rough start to the season continues.
He has thrown his ninth interception of the year already.
