Another weekend that lived up to every bit of its early hype is now in the books, delivering another round of late-game drama and surprising storylines that kept fans locked in until the final whistle. Several matchups swung on game-winning or blocked field goals, reminding us just how thin the margin between victory and heartbreak can be in September. Backup quarterbacks continued to shine across the league, keeping their teams afloat and proving that depth matters just as much as star power, although not every contender (looking at the Bengals) found answers under center. The weekend reached its crescendo on Monday night, when the Lions lit up Baltimore in a thrilling road win that turned heads and injected even more intrigue into the NFC race.
