Denver Broncos outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper has been named AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his monstrous performance in last Sunday's narrow win over the New York Jets, the NFL announced Wednesday.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield started to make his case for the NFL MVP award with a huge win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Dak Prescott threw three touchdown passes for the Cowboys, but Dallas' defense couldn't stop Panthers running back Rico Dowdle, who played for the Cowboys last season. Dowdle rushed for 183 yards and had four catches for 56 yards and a touchdown, a total of 239 yards from scrimmage a week after rushing for 206 yards in Week 5.

It was all about defense today as the Broncos (4-2) rode nine sacks to a 13-11 win over the Jets at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Denver leads the AFC West for now by 1/2 game. The Jets (0-6) are still winless.

New York's offense as an epic disaster on Sunday in London, with the "passing" game in particular stinking up the joint. Fields dropped back to pass 29 times but only actually attempted 17 passes, because he was sacked NINE times and scrambled a few more.

The fifth week of the NFL season is nearly finished and there were a few surprises that caught fans' attention on Sunday when most games were played.

The Texans turned the ball over three times with two interceptions thrown by C.J. Stroud. Travis Etienne scored a 10-yard game-winning rushing touchdown with 1:48 left in the game. Carson Wentz threw two touchdown passes and Jordan Mason rushed for 116 yards and two scores in a blowout win. Bengals quarterback Jake Browning was picked off twice.

Everyone loves a good "Scorigami" -- in which a score of an NFL game that's never been put together before happens -- particularly on X (formerly Twitter). But as many fans noticed recently, the NFL_Scorigami account has been struggling this year with declarations that there have been scores that "happened 0 times before" (which WOULD be a Scorigami) that actually have happened before.

As good as Darnold was, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield was even better, going 29-for-33 for 379 yards and two touchdowns. His 11-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shephard with 1:08 to play tied the score at 35 and set the stage for the win.

However, I'm not dominating my best bets, as the Denver Broncos struggled with the New York Jets in London, the Carolina Panthers are apparently unbeatable at home and the Indianapolis Colts couldn't cover the spread vs.
