Dobbs finding his rhythm (thanks to Cam Akers)

Josh Dobbs had a nightmare start as the Vikings quarterback, but he's finding his rhythm right before halftime. Check out this legendary scramble (with a legendary block from Cam Akers on 287-pound Kentavius Street) and then Dobbs' touchdown pass to Alexander Mattison to pull Minnesota within one.
 

Touchdown machine

Make that six touchdowns in the past 10 quarters for Gus Edwards, who's scored twice on four carries in the first half against Seattle.
 

Stevenson to the house!

The Patriots are all the way back thanks to Rhamondre Stevenson finding a crease off right tackle and then beating everyone down the sideline for a 64-yard scamper across the goal line.
 

Helmet assist TD!

You can't get much luckier than Deshaun Watson and the Browns. On second down from the 11-yard line, Watson was looking to hit Amari Cooper on a slant, but his pass doinked off the helmet of a Cardinals defensive lineman. It ended up working out perfectly for Cleveland, as the defenders lost Cooper as he tracked the wobbling ball and caught it in the end zone for the score.
 

Dobbs doesn't know

On Tuesday, the Cardinals traded Josh Dobbs to the Vikings. And on Sunday, Dobbs was thrust into action after a concussion knocked rookie Jaren Hall out of the game. It's gone about how you'd expect.

  • First drive: 3 plays, -7 yards, safety
  • Second drive: 3 plays, -5 yards, strip sack

Fortunately for the Vikings, their defense has held up nicely. Atlanta is only up eight points, but should be up more.

 

Bagent, Kmet cooking

The Saints entered Sunday allowing fewer than 20 points per game. The Bears already have 14 points in just over a quarter thanks to Cole Kmet's two touchdown catches from Tyson Bagent.
 

Patriots have life

Just when you thought the Patriots were buried, the Commanders gave them an opening. First Brian Robinson Jr. fumbled, allowing New England to take over just outside the red zone, and then it cut the lead to three on Mac Jones' touchdown pass to Hunter Henry.

Patriots down double digits

It's, uh, not good right now for the Patriots. Already 2-6, New England is down double digits against the 3-5 Commanders after Brian Robinson Jr.'s nine-yard rumble for the score.
 

Cooper gets behind the defense (again)

Is there a more underrated wide receiver in the NFL than Amari Cooper? It seems like every week, he's making a great catch for a big gain. On Sunday, it came in the form of a 59-yard pickup against the Cardinals.
 

Olave SZN

In need of an offensive spark, the Saints went to Chris Olave. He caught a 19-yard pass on third-and-seven, and several plays later he hauled in a touchdown on third-and-goal to tie things up.
 

Jaren Hall???

The fifth-round rookie is playing well in his first quarter as an NFL starter. He's started 5 of 6 for 78 yards, including this deep ball to Alexander Mattison that led to a field goal.
 

Texans TD

After a disappointing performance vs. the Panthers last week, the Texans are playing more like they have for most of the season. Case and point: going seven plays and 75 yards on their second possession to take the lead over the Bucs on a 14-yard score from Nico Collins.
 

Bears on the board!

What a catch from Cole Kmet to get the Bears on the board against the heavily-favored Saints. Second-career touchdown for undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent.

From CBS Sports NFL sideline reporter AJ Ross

BEARS
- QB Tyson Bagent making third straight start (CHI is 1-1 in 1st 2)
- CHI still averaging same ppg and pass ypg with Bagent as injured starter Justin Fields
- Montez Sweat says he is really excited to play for org that showed faith in him; his 6.5 sacks figure to make immediate impact on pass rush that is last in the NFL with 10 sacks

SAINTS
- Derek Carr said improved offensive performance last week is a reflection of better communication - evidenced by Carr throwing for 300 plus in each of past 3 games
- Plenty of weapons for Carr: Taysom Hill, Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Michael Thomas & Rashid Shaheed
- D also top 3 against pass, looking to get after Bears rookie QB Bagent

 

From CBS Sports sideline reporter Evan Washburn:

Buccaneers
- Looking to end a 3-game skid
- Coach Todd Bowles said this week has been about getting back to basics and cutting down on penalties (TB is 3rd-worst in the league)
- To get ready - 1s vs. 1s in practice to simulate close to game situations as possible

TEXANS
- HOU without RB Dameon Pierce (ANKLE); Devin Singletary to handle most of the workload
- First year of DeMeco Ryans / CJ Stroud season, both said this week that consistency is a priority, looking to bounce back from a loss last week to the Panthers
- Stroud looking to bounce back from his worst game as a pro in that loss to Carolina
- Michael Dieter to start at center with starter Jarrett Patterson out b/c of injury
