After all, the Dolphins won their first game of the season against the hapless, tail-spinning Jets. Ryan Fitzpatrick had himself a day against one of his former teams, throwing for 288 yards and three touchdowns in the game.
On the West Coast, the Seahawks and Buccaneers were locked in a shootout — and the game was decided in overtime. Russell Wilson’s fifth touchdown pass of the afternoon proved to be the difference, as the Seahawks marched to 7-2 (and Wilson marched closer to an MVP award).
Then there were the Chargers, who held the high-flying Packers offense to just 11 points in a 26-11 win in Los Angeles. Aaron Rodgers threw for just 161 yards a touchdown in the loss, while his counterpart threw for 294 yards and no touchdowns — those were saved for Melvin Gordon, who had two scores on the afternoon.
Not to be outdone, the Ravens handed the Patriots their first loss of the season 37-20 behind dazzing QB Lamar Jackson and an opprtunistic defense. Jackson (163 yards, one touchdown passing; 61 yards, two touchdowns rushing) shredded a New England defense that came in allowing 7.6 points per game.
