Running back Isiah Pacheco rushed for 55 yards and two touchdowns. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs totaled 110 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell played gutsy football and repeatedly looked for the deep pass. He was able to convert 33 pass attempts into 23 completions, 248 yards and a touchdown. However, the Raiders left a few points in the redzone. They only scored one touchdown on three visits.

The Chiefs improve their record to 8-3, the Raiders are now 5-7

Buffalo Bills @ Philadelphia Eagles 34:37

In the top game of the night, the Eagles pulled out a narrow win in overtime. Quarterback Jalen Hurts became the match winner against the Buffalo Bills with his rushing touchdown in overtime.

Prior to that, both offenses delivered an open exchange of blows. Bills quarterback Josh Allen moved the ball through the air (29/51 for 339 yards, two touchdowns and an interception) and on foot (90 yards, two touchdowns) and shouldered the Bills offense for long stretches.

The Eagles fell behind at one point, but turned up the heat in the fourth quarter. Hurts’ offense (18/31 for 200 yards, three touchdowns and an interception, plus 65 rushing yards and two touchdowns) scored 17 points in the final period. A field goal by Jake Elliott from 59 yards saved the Eagles in overtime

Once there, the Bills marched down the field but had to settle for a field goal. The Eagles answered with a nine-play drive that ended with the aforementioned rushing touchdown by Hurts.

The Eagles improve to 10-1, the Bills are 6-6.
