The September finale brought plenty of intriguing storylines and results, including the league’s second international showcase took center stage in Dublin, where the Steelers edged the Vikings in a gritty battle, while Sunday night in Dallas produced one of the largest ties in league history as Micah Parsons’ long-awaited return was overshadowed by a deadlocked tie between the Packers and Cowboys. Unfortunately, the week was also defined by tough injury news, with dynamic receivers Tyreek Hill and Malik Nabers both going down to season-ending blows that reshape their teams’ outlooks, but in brighter storylines, Jaxson Dart delivered a memorable first career start by guiding the Giants to their first win of the season over the Chargers, and a new wave of rookie running backs, including Cam Skattebo in New York, Woody Marks in Houston, Quinshon Judkins in Cleveland, and RJ Harvey in Denver, kept the spotlight on the backfield as September came to a close.
