NFL roundup: Broncos top Giants behind historic comeback

Sun Oct 19 9:02pm ET
Field Level Media

Wil Lutz made a 39-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Denver Broncos -- who entered the fourth quarter trailing 19-0 -- to a stunning 33-32 comeback win over the visiting New York Giants on Sunday afternoon.

Bo Nix passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for 48 yards and two more scores for Denver (5-2), which also trailed 26-8 with just over five minutes remaining. The 33 fourth-quarter points are the most in NFL history by a team that had been shut out in the first three quarters.

Jaxson Dart completed 15 of 33 passes for 283 yards and three touchdowns, but threw a costly interception in the fourth quarter for New York (2-5). Cam Skattebo rushed 16 times for 60 yards for the Giants, who allowed the most points in a quarter in franchise history.

After Dart gave the Giants a 32-30 lead with a 1-yard run with 37 seconds left to play, Jude McAtamney missed the extra-point attempt. Denver then went 56 yards on four plays, with Nix's 22-yard strike to Courtland Sutton getting the ball to the New York 22 to set Lutz up for the winner.

Eagles 28, Vikings 22

Jalen Hurts tossed three touchdowns, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith both had big games, and Philadelphia held off Minnesota for the victory in Minneapolis.

The Eagles (5-2) ended a two-game skid as Hurts racked up a season-high 326 yards on 19-of-23 passing for a perfect passer rating of 158.3. Brown caught four passes for 121 yards and two TDs and Smith set a career high with 183 yards and a score.

Losing to the quarterback who replaced him in Philadelphia in 2020, Carson Wentz threw for 313 yards but had two interceptions as the Vikings (3-3) repeatedly stalled in the red zone. Will Reichard kicked five field goals for Minnesota and Jordan Addison caught nine passes for 128 yards.

Rams 35, Jaguars 7

Matthew Stafford threw a season-high five touchdowns, Davante Adams had three TD receptions and Los Angeles earned a convincing win over Jacksonville in London.

Stafford threw five touchdown passes for the fourth time in his career and the first time since 2015. Adams put together his third career three-touchdown game and first since 2020. His three touchdowns amassed a total of 4 yards. Konata Mumpfield and Terrance Ferguson also snared TD passes from Stafford.

The Rams (5-2) took a shutout into the fourth quarter before Jacksonville (4-3) got on the board with 9:06 left on Travis Hunter's first career touchdown catch, a 34-yarder from Trevor Lawrence. Hunter finished with a game and career-high 101 yards on eight catches. Lawrence connected on 23 of 48 passes for 296 yards.

Bears 26, Saints 14

D'Andre Swift rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown, the defense took the ball away four times and host Chicago won its fourth consecutive game by beating New Orleans.

Caleb Williams passed for 172 yards and Kyle Monangai added a touchdown run for the Bears (4-2), who rushed for 222 yards and exceeded their NFL-leading average of 2.4 takeaways per game.

Spencer Rattler passed for 233 yards and threw two touchdown passes to Chris Olave, but he also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble for the Saints (1-6), who matched their turnover total for the first six games combined.

Patriots 31, Titans 13

Drake Maye completed 21 of 23 passes for 222 yards and two touchdowns to help visiting New England stretch its winning streak to four games by beating Tennessee in Nashville.

Maye completed 16 consecutive passes at one point for New England (5-2), which also received 88 yards rushing and a touchdown on 18 carries from Rhamondre Stevenson. The win gave New England head coach Mike Vrabel a victory over his former employer. Vrabel coached the Titans from 2018-23.

Rookie Cam Ward completed 25 of 34 passes for 255 yards and a TD for Tennessee (1-6). Ward was intercepted once and also lost a fumble that resulted in a New England touchdown. The loss came in Mike McCoy's first game as Tennessee's interim head coach. McCoy replaced Brian Callahan, who was fired Monday.

Browns 31, Dolphins 6

Rookie Quinshon Judkins rushed for a career-high three touchdowns, Tyson Campbell had a pick-six in his home debut and host Cleveland hammered Miami on a rainy afternoon.

Judkins, who rushed 25 times for 84 yards, tallied twice in the first half on a long sprint and a spinning run before another in the second half in his first multi-touchdown game. The Browns (2-5) broke their three-game losing streak by scoring three times off Miami turnovers.

Tua Tagovailoa was 12-of-23 passing for 100 yards and three interceptions for the Dolphins (1-6), who have lost three straight. Reserve Quinn Ewers was 5-of-8 passing for 53 yards in his NFL debut.

Chiefs 31, Raiders 0

Patrick Mahomes passed for 286 yards and three touchdowns in less than three quarters and Kansas City moved ahead of .500 for the first time this season with a shellacking of visiting Las Vegas.

Rashee Rice was credited with two touchdown receptions while making his season debut following a six-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Marquise "Hollywood" Brown also had a scoring grab and Isiah Pacheco ran for a touchdown as the Chiefs (4-3) beat the Raiders for the 14th time in the past 16 meetings.

Kansas City held Las Vegas to 95 total yards and three first downs while posting its first regular-season shutout in the all-time series since 2011 against the then-Oakland Raiders. The Chiefs began taking kneel downs with 2:36 remaining in the one-sided contest. Geno Smith completed 10 of 16 passes for 67 yards for Las Vegas (2-5).

Panthers 13, Jets 6

Carolina scored the game's only touchdown on a Bryce Young pass before he left with an injury during a victory over winless New York at East Rutherford, N.J.

Carolina's defense shined, limiting the Jets (0-7) to 220 yards of total offense and benefited from Jaycee Horn's two interceptions as the Panthers (4-3) won their third game in a row. Young didn't finish the game because of an ankle injury sustained late in the third quarter on a sack, so he was replaced by Andy Dalton. Young was 15 of 25 passing for 138 yards.

New York backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, playing in the second half, went 10-for-22 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions. Jets starting quarterback Justin Fields was pulled after the first half, when he was 6 of 12 for 46 yards.

Colts 38, Chargers 24

Jonathan Taylor ran for three touchdowns and Daniel Jones threw for two as Indianapolis ran roughshod over Los Angeles' defense for an impressive win in Inglewood, Calif.

Taylor finished with 94 yards on 16 carries, scoring on runs of 23, 8 and 19 yards as the Colts (6-1) won their third straight game. Jones completed 23 of 34 passes for 288 yards as Indianapolis totaled 401 yards for the game. The Colts were especially effective in extending drives, going 5-of-11 on third down and 3-of-3 on fourth down.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert put up monster stats in defeat, hitting 37 of 55 passes for 420 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. But Los Angeles (4-3) rushed for just 54 yards on 16 attempts, largely abandoning the running game after Indianapolis established a 23-3 halftime lead.

Cowboys 44, Commanders 22

Dak Prescott passed for 264 yards and three touchdowns and Dallas routed Washington in Arlington, Texas.

CeeDee Lamb caught five passes for 110 yards and a touchdown for Dallas (3-3-1) in his return after missing three games with an ankle injury. Jake Ferguson had two touchdown catches, and Javonte Williams rushed for 116 yards and a touchdown.

Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels left the game in the third quarter with a right hamstring injury sustained on a strip-sack fumble. He was 12 of 22 for 156 yards with a passing and rushing touchdown.

Packers 27, Cardinals 23

Josh Jacobs rushed for two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 1-yard scoring run with 1:50 left, as Green Bay edged host Arizona in Glendale.

Nursing a strained left calf, Jacobs helped send Arizona (2-5) to its fifth straight defeat, all by one score. Jacobs finished with 55 yards on 13 carries to go with the two scores. Micah Parsons registered his first three-sack

game as a member of the Packers.

Quarterback Jacoby Brissett and tight end Trey McBride connected on a pair of touchdowns for Arizona, but Green Bay rallied to improve to 4-1-1. Playing in relief of the injured Kyler Murray, Brissett went 25 of 36 for 279 yards and two touchdowns.

Player Notes
Daniel Jones Oct 19 10:13pm CT
Daniel Jones

Dynasty | Colts running back Jonathan Taylor had 94 rushing yards, three catches, 38 receiving yards, and three touchdowns in a win against the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: It was Taylor's second three touchdown game in the past three weeks and gives him ten rushing scores on the season. In short, Taylor is putting together an MVP level season and has been a one-man wrecking crew since week one. With Daniel Jones playing the best football of his career, Taylor has a chance to be the overall RB1 this season. He's currently nearly untouchable in dynasty leagues.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Oct 19 10:13pm CT
Jacory Croskey-Merritt

Dynasty | Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt had just 33 rushing yards in a loss to the Cowboys. Dynasty Analysis: He "added" one catch for -1 yard on the day. This was a brutally disappointing day for the rookie, who dynasty managers were hoping to see put up a big day against a Dallas defense that's been awful this season. Instead, the Commanders fell behind and were forced to throw for much of the day. "Bill" still has a lot of fantasy appeal but the breakout really has yet to happen, making him more of a flex option at the moment.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

CeeDee Lamb Oct 19 10:13pm CT
CeeDee Lamb

Dynasty | Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb had five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown in a win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: We actually expected more as Lamb did all of his damage in the first half. Still, he looked healthy and took right back over as the WR1 immediately. Lamb is a candidate for the overall WR1 each and every week (and for the season). Any chance to add him on the cheap has clearly passed.

CeeDee Lamb Oct 19 10:00pm CT
CeeDee Lamb

After missing three games due to a high-ankle sprain, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the field in Week 7 and showed little sign of rust. Lamb recorded five catches for 110 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 21 catches for 332 yards and a score on 32 targets across four games played, one of which he was forced to leave very early on after injuring his ankle. The Cowboys' offense is averaging over 250 passing yards and 30 points per game so far this season, which should put Lamb in a position for monster production on a week-to-week basis. Now that he's back on the field and appears fully healthy, Lamb is a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into his team's Week 8 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Daniel Jones

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones continued his solid start to the 2025 season in Week 7, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 288 yards and two touchdowns in his team's 38-24 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Jones has been consistently efficient through his first seven games with the Colts, recording 1,790 passing yards and 10 passing touchdowns while completing over 70% of his pass attempts. With Jones under center, Indianapolis has been one of the NFL's best offenses, scoring at least 31 points in five out of seven games. Based on what he has shown so far, Jones should be in the conversation as a starting fantasy quarterback on a week-to-week basis. He'll get a favorable matchup in Week 8, when the Colts host the Tennessee Titans.

Drake Maye Oct 19 9:40pm CT
Drake Maye

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye continued to prove he's one of the best young players in the NFL by dominating the Tennessee Titans in Week 7 and leading his team to a 31-13 win. Maye completed 21 of 23 pass attempts for 222 yards and two touchdowns, adding eight rush attempts for 62 yards as well. The 23-year-old has now thrown for 1,744 yards and 12 touchdowns while also rushing for 200 yards and two touchdowns through his first seven games of 2025. He's topped 250 total yards in every week but one so far this season. Maye looks every bit like a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

Keenan Allen Oct 19 9:30pm CT
Keenan Allen

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had a huge day in his team's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, recording 11 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. Allen was one of the beneficiaries of the Chargers' high-volume passing day, as Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert attempted 55 passes. The 33-year-old Allen has now hauled in 44 receptions for 435 yards and four touchdowns on 65 targets across seven games this season. With Los Angeles currently playing without its top running back, Omarion Hampton (ankle), the team could continue to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts. That would be a recipe for fantasy success for Allen and the rest of the Chargers' pass-catchers. Los Angeles will have a short week in Week 8, as they play the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.

Dak Prescott Oct 19 9:30pm CT
Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott played a clean game in his team's 44-22 Week 7 win over the Washington Commanders, completing 21 of 30 pass attempts for 264 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Prescott's Cowboys are now averaging 31.7 points per game so far this season. Through seven games, Prescott has thrown for 1,881 yards and 16 touchdowns. He will face perhaps his toughest test so far this season in Week 8 when Dallas travels to Denver to take on the Broncos. Still, Prescott is playing at a high level and will be difficult for fantasy managers to go away from, even in a difficult matchup.

Jalen Hurts Oct 19 9:20pm CT
Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had his best performance of the season as a passer in his team's 28-22 Week 7 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 326 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Quietly, Hurts has now thrown for at least 280 yards in each of his team's last three games after topping 200 passing yards just once in his first four contests. For the season, Hurts has now recorded 1,498 passing yards and 11 passing touchdowns while adding 185 yards and five touchdowns as a rusher. He remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into a Week 8 matchup at home against the New York Giants.

Trey McBride Oct 19 9:00pm CT
Trey McBride

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride has proven over the last two games that he doesn't need starting quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) to produce for his fantasy managers. In fact, he's been better in Weeks 6 and 7 while working with veteran backup Jacoby Brissett. In the 27-23 loss to the visiting Green Bay Packers on Sunday, McBride caught a season-high 10 passes on 13 targets for 74 yards and two touchdowns as Arizona's leading receiver. The 25-year-old tight end also went off while working with Brissett in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts, catching eight of 11 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown. So McBride now has 18 receptions for 146 yards and three touchdowns on 24 targets and three touchdowns with Murray sidelined the last two games. Fantasy managers might be bummed that Murray could be returning following Arizona's Week 8 bye, but McBride is without a doubt a set-and-forget TE1 in fantasy football.

Brian Burns Oct 19 8:40pm CT
Brian Burns

New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (foot), who is the NFL's sack leader with nine, was wearing a walking boot on his right foot in the locker room on Sunday following the team's heartbreaking 33-32 loss on the road to the Denver Broncos in Week 7, according to Connor Hughes of SNY. In the wild loss on Sunday, Burns was able to take quarterback Bo Nix down twice while adding four solo tackles and three tackles for loss. While the Giants have other strong pass-rushers, including rookie Abdul Carter and Kayvon Thibodeaux, losing Burns for an extended period of time would be a big blow to their defense. The 27-year-old Burns has played the most defensive snaps for the Giants through seven games and has been a must-start in IDP fantasy formats this year. We should know more about Burns' injury on Monday or Tuesday, but his status is certainly up in the air for a divisional rematch next Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Maxx Crosby Oct 19 8:30pm CT
Maxx Crosby

Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), who was pulled from the Week 7 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs early on Sunday as a precaution, should be "OK moving forward," a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 28-year-old All-Pro was injured in the second quarter and did not return in the 31-0 drubbing. Not only is Crosby's injury not considered serious, but he'll have extra time to recover during the team's bye in Week 8 before potentially returning to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9. It's good news for the struggling Raiders and for fantasy managers in IDP leagues that are counting on Crosby the rest of the way. Crosby was a disappointment on Sunday with only three tackles (one solo) before getting hurt, but he should be ready to go coming out of next week's bye. The four-time Pro Bowler came into Week 7 action with only four sacks and 17 solo tackles in six games played.

Jayden Daniels Oct 19 8:10pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (hamstring) will undergo an MRI on Monday, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Daniels exited Sunday's loss against the Cowboys after taking a sack early in the third quarter. He did not return to the contest, sparking plenty of concern about his fantasy football outlook going forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Quinn didn't have much of an update postgame, other than confirming that the quarterback's injury is significant enough to require additional testing. We'll likely receive more information Monday on the specifics of Daniels' injury, including whether he'll miss any time. If the former No. 2 pick can't suit up in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Marcus Mariota would be in line to make his third start of the season.

Justin Herbert Oct 19 8:00pm CT
Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden caught seven of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The highlight of his game was a 53-yard catch on the second play of the third quarter, but his 15-yard touchdown was impressive, too. The rookie has broken out recently, catching 14 passes for 232 yards and a touchdown over his last two contests. He is the overall TE1 in PPR leagues over the last two weeks. Although that's a relatively small sample size to assess, Sunday's big game showed that Gadsden's sudden success is no fluke. He should continue to operate as a primary target for Justin Herbert, giving him high-end TE2 appeal with TE1 upside.

From RotoBaller

Kyler Murray Oct 19 8:00pm CT
Kyler Murray

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) will be the team's starter when he is healthy enough to play, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The Cardinals are 0-2 in Murray's absence under Jacoby Brissett, but they've played close games against two tough teams, sparking at least a little bit of quarterback discussion. Furthermore, during that two-week span, Brissett has completed 65 percent of his passes for 599 yards, four touchdowns, one interception, and one lost fumble. The Cardinals have a Week 8 bye, with a very real chance for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. If he's active for that game, Murray would be a low-end QB1 given Dallas' tendency to engage in high-scoring shootouts.

Justin Herbert Oct 19 7:50pm CT
Justin Herbert

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 37 of his 55 pass attempts for 420 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. He also took three sacks and led the team with 31 rushing yards. Herbert turned in his best fantasy performance of the season thanks to his extremely high yardage total and three touchdowns, but the two picks -- plus Los Angeles' struggles running the football and Indianapolis' strong offense -- made it tough for the Bolts to overcome an early deficit. Herbert remains a mid-range QB1 in fantasy football, though, and he should continue to be started heading into Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jonathan Taylor Oct 19 7:30pm CT
Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 94 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 38 receiving yards. Taylor turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in PPR leagues, shrinking the gap between him and this year's overall RB1, Christian McCaffrey. The 26-year-old has scored three touchdowns in three different games this season, totaling 10 scores over his last five contests. Taylor should continue to feast next week against a Titans defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs and just surrendered 88 yards and a touchdown to Rhamondre Stevenson. He's in the mix to be next week's overall RB1.

Jaxson Dart Oct 19 7:30pm CT
Jaxson Dart

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart completed 15 of his 33 pass attempts for 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also rushed for 11 yards and an additional touchdown on the ground. This was Dart's first career four-touchdown game -- he had previously never scored more than twice -- but it wasn't enough as the Broncos scored 33 points in the fourth quarter alone, taking down New York with a field goal as time expired. Dart, a rookie, played solid in the defeat, especially considering how effective Denver's defense has been this year. The loss was unfortunate, but from a fantasy perspective, 283 passing yards and four total touchdowns are nothing to complain about. He'll remain in the low-end QB1 conversation for Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In his last outing against Philly, he had 195 passing yards, 58 rushing yards, two total touchdowns, and zero turnovers.

Travis Hunter Oct 19 7:11pm CT
Travis Hunter

Dynasty | Jags rookie wide receiver Travis Hunter had eight catches on 14 targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Rams. Dynasty Analysis: Hunter posted career highs across the board as it seems as if the Jaguars made a concerted effort to get him the ball this week. Of course, it didn't hurt Hunter's chances when they fell behind early and forced Trevor Lawrence to throw the ball nearly 50 times. This is a good building block for Hunter, whose dynasty value and rookie ranking will rise this week.

Rashee Rice Oct 19 7:10pm CT
Rashee Rice

Dynasty | Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice had seven catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: This was Rice's first game back after missing 22 contests with a torn ACL and serving a suspension. It was clearly a monster return for Rice, who looks the part of a WR1 moving forward yet again. While Patrick Mahomes seems content spreading the ball around, it's hard to look at Rice and think he's not the #1 option in the passing game moving forward. Savvy dynasty managers bought on Rice a long time ago and those who didn't are likely kicking themselves.
