Week 10 of the NFL season is in the books! It began with a sour start on Thursday night after Broncos quarterback Bo Nix played one of the worst games of his career, yet still led Denver to an ugly 10-7 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Each Sunday, three of The Athletic’s NFL writers react to the biggest news, plays and performances from the day’s games.

It will be a battle between NFL MVP candidates with quarterback Drake Maye leading the Patriots into Raymond Jones Stadium in Tampa to face off against Baker Mayfield and the Bucs. The Patriots have won their last six straight games, including a 24-23 nail-biter against the Atlanta Falcons last week.

The Houston Texans pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the season over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, and in the process, the two teams combined to make some history. The game ended with the Texans topping the Jags 36-29, a score that had never been seen before in the 106-year history of the NFL.

While keeping a positive game script, the Bills out-physicaled the Chiefs and won the line of scrimmage. Running back James Cook went over 100 yards, and establishing that helped Bills quarterback Josh Allen gash the Chiefs defense on another of its weak points this season: play action.

The lowest-scoring game in Monday Night Football history took place on November 14, 1993, when the Washington Redskins defeated the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 3-0. This defensive masterpiece (or offensive nightmare, depending on your perspective) was a stunning anomaly for the prime-time slot, which is usually reserved for high-octane matchups.

With the NFL heading into the home stretch of the 2025 season, several teams needed to pick up crucial wins as they jockey for playoff position.

According to The Athletic ’s playoff simulator, the Green Bay Packers have an 87 percent chance to make the playoffs. With a win tonight over the Eagles, Green Bay’s chances jump to 93 percent. With a loss, the Packers fall to 81 percent.
