Big finishes for the Raiders and Broncos with winning FGs for both.

Tough break for Alex Smith and his tibia and fibula in particular. My best mate did that playing football and you could hear the cracks off the pitch. Horrible injury that required hospitalization and traction for weeks. And exactly 33 years after Joe Theismann's horror injury. Truth is stranger than fiction sometimes.

More missed FGs, but the Texans get the 7th straight win. Of the 6 games left, 4 are at home and none against a team with better than .500.

Curse of the kicker against the Lions continues. Crosby missed 4 FGs and a PAT for the Packers, Parkey hit the post 4 times for the Bears last week, and this week Gano hits the post from a FG and shanks a PAT. Panthers then go for 2 with a minute on the clock and gift the Lions the win.

Not really a great night for us Skins fans, especially with Dallas winning as well :(

Smith’s injury is a big blow after the skins have put themselves in a reasonable position.

Only advantage is McCoy knows that system and could carry them through..... Thursday’s game against Dallas is now huge both in terms of record and momentum. Could really do with Thompson and Crowder back to help McCoy and Peterson drag them through to the post season.

I expected this to be an interesting rebuild season, not one where we could realistically win now. The Bears are such a pleasant surprise so far and the win over the Vikings will hopefully calm down the haters.

Blimey, second straight win for the Giants and a great game by rookie Saquon Barkley - 27 rushes and 3 TDs - But too little too late.

Although NFC East division is wide open at the minute I can see the Cowboys (5-5) winning it as the Eagles at 4-6 are just not looking like the team that won last year's SB

It's down to the defensive line! Doesn't matter who is QB if the line opens up and says " flatten the QB" as they did against the saints this weekend, then the eagles will struggle to beat the Giants too.

Absolutely incredible game in LA. Chiefs 51 Rams 54.

Highest MNF score ever and 3rd highest ever.

Simply magnificent sport.

Sacrificed a couple of hours of sleep to watch the second half, absolutely stunning game. What's extraordinary given the score both defences actually played pretty well. An exceptional game in which both players and coaches delivered a show that lived up to the hype. Fantastic!

I’m absolutely delighted that the entire philosophy of the NFL is now geared at all out attacking teams, and we have a ‘franchise’ QB that can’t throw a football :(

Just because they couldn't get the turf in a good enough condition....
