Matthew Stafford continued one of the best stretches of his 17-year career on Sunday night, throwing three touchdown passes (two to Davante Adams) as the Rams rolled past the Buccaneers 34-7 to move to 9-2 and seize the NFC’s top seed.
Stafford Strengthens MVP Push as Rams Blast Bucs, Take NFC’s No. 1 Seed
With the Eagles and Bears both sitting at 8-3, Los Angeles now sits alone atop the conference behind what increasingly looks like an MVP-level campaign from its veteran quarterback. Baker Mayfield’s night ended early after he injured his non-throwing left shoulder in the second quarter, finishing 9-of-19 for just 41 yards and a touchdown.
Meanwhile, Stafford put on another masterclass in Sean McVay’s offense. The MVP chants at SoFi Stadium were loud as the veteran quarterback lofted deep balls to Adams, converted a third-and-19 to Puka Nacua, and even tossed a no-look touchdown to Colby Parkinson.
Stafford now sits at 30 touchdowns and just two interceptions on the season, with 25 touchdowns and zero picks over his last eight games — joining Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and Patrick Mahomes as the only quarterbacks to open a season with a ratio this strong.
Despite missing Tutu Atwell, Tyler Higbee, and Rob Havenstein, the Rams’ offense didn’t lose a step. As long as Stafford remains this dialed in, both pre-snap and post-snap, Los Angeles looks fully capable of weathering personnel losses and maintaining its hold on the NFC’s top spot.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba added another chapter to his breakout year, powering the Seahawks to a 30-24 win over the Titans on Sunday and officially becoming the franchise’s single-season receiving leader. The third-year star wideout hauled in eight passes for 167 yards and two touchdowns, pushing his season total to 1,313 yards — surpassing DK Metcalf’s 2020 record and putting himself back on pace to challenge Calvin Johnson’s all-time NFL single-season mark from 2012.
Seattle shook off an early Tennessee field goal and controlled the game from there. Sam Darnold rebounded from his rough Week 11 outing, looking efficient and composed while completing 16 of 26 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. The run game chipped in too, with Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet combining for 106 yards and a score on 6.2 yards per carry, including Charbonnet’s 5-yard touchdown that helped put the game away.
Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward delivered a competitive outing. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown. He also added a rushing score. But Tennessee’s season-long issue sustaining drives resurfaced, stalling several second-half possessions. A late touchdown tightened the margin, but the Titans never truly threatened.
The Seahawks (8-3) now turn the page to a Week 13 matchup against Darnold’s former team, the Minnesota Vikings. Meanwhile, the Titans (1-10) return home looking to stop the spiral in a divisional showdown with the Jaguars. As for Seattle, Smith-Njigba continues to be the engine of one of the NFL’s most explosive offenses — and the numbers suggest he’s nowhere close to slowing down.

The Raiders made a major shakeup Sunday night, firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly just hours after a 24-10 loss to the Browns dropped them to 2-9. The move comes amid a five-game losing streak and one of the worst offensive stretches in franchise history. Pete Carroll confirmed the dismissal in a team statement, thanking Kelly for his service but offering no hint of reconsideration.
The Kelly–Carroll partnership never found footing. Despite making Kelly the highest-paid offensive coordinator in the league, the Raiders’ offense cratered almost immediately. Cracks appeared as early as Week 2, when Carroll openly questioned Kelly’s play calling after a loss to the Chargers, criticizing the shot-heavy approach and lamenting the lack of underneath throws: “They looked like we had to score quick or something… that’s not the way that we should ever play.”
Eleven weeks in, the numbers paint an even bleaker picture. The Raiders rank 30th in total offense (269 yards per game) and 31st in scoring (15.5 points per game). In Sunday’s loss — Kelly’s final game — Geno Smith was sacked 10 times, losing 77 yards, and the Raiders averaged just 3.6 yards per play. Carroll called it “an incredible game of defense on both sides,” but underscored the obvious: “If you don’t score, you can’t win, and we couldn’t score… quarterback was under duress the entire time.”
Kelly’s exit marks Carroll’s second in-season coaching dismissal this month, following the Nov. 7 firing of special teams coordinator Tom McMahon. For a Raiders team now locked into its fourth straight losing season — and 18th since 2002 — Sunday’s move signals the start of yet another attempted rebuild on a side of the ball that has shown little growth and even fewer answers.

Cleveland rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders delivered a milestone performance in his first NFL start, leading the Browns to a 24-10 road win over the Raiders that ended a three-game losing streak. In doing so, Sanders became the first Browns rookie quarterback in 30 years to win his debut — breaking a drought that stretched back to Eric Zeier in 1995.
Sanders, starting in place of the injured Dillon Gabriel, provided the afternoon’s defining moment late in the first quarter. Facing a third-and-8 from the Cleveland 45, he rolled right away from pressure and launched a 52-yard strike to rookie Isaiah Bond — the Browns’ longest play of the season and a jolt that put the team in control. With his father, Deion Sanders, watching from a suite, the rookie finished 11-of-20 for 209 yards, a touchdown, and one interception.
The win was more about Cleveland’s defense than anything else. The Browns (3-8) turned in their best effort since a 27-0 shutout of Arizona last November, overwhelming Geno Smith with a relentless rush that resulted in a career-high 10 sacks. Smith ended with 285 yards and a touchdown on 30-of-44 passing, most of it in garbage time after Cleveland built a 24-3 lead. The Raiders (2-9) have now dropped five straight and nine of their last ten.
Sanders didn’t have to carry the offense. Cleveland leaned heavily on its jumbo wildcat package, with Quinshon Judkins punching in two touchdowns while Sanders briefly exited for each. The coaches’ instructions were clear: take the easy throws, avoid unnecessary sacks, and don’t force anything into traffic. Outside of one interception and a few misses, Sanders executed the plan, later adding his first career passing touchdown — a swing pass Dylan Sampson turned into a 66-yard score.
