The NFL delivered a weekend of nail-biting finishes and stunning upsets that left fans on the edge of their seats. From Dallas's incredible comeback to Kansas City's overtime escape, here's a round-up of the key action.
Cowboys Stage Historic Fightback Against Eagles
Defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, looked set for an easy victory against the Dallas Cowboys, racing to a 21-0 lead in the second quarter. But the Cowboys mounted a remarkable comeback, mirroring the biggest in their franchise history. The game was tied in the fourth quarter before the Eagles fumbled on consecutive possessions. After a tense exchange, Brandon Aubrey sealed a 24-21 win for Dallas with a field goal as time expired. Dak Prescott dedicated the Cowboys victory to late teammate Marshawn Kneeland.
Chiefs Avoid Upset Against Colts in Overtime
The Kansas City Chiefs narrowly avoided a third straight defeat against a resurgent Indianapolis Colts side. Trailing 20-9 in the final quarter, Patrick Mahomes led a spirited fightback, with Harrison Butker's last-gasp field goal forcing overtime. Butker then kicked his fifth field goal of the game to secure a 23-20 victory, preventing the Chiefs from falling further behind the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC West.
Sanders Shines in First NFL Start
Shedeur Sanders enjoyed a successful first NFL start, leading the Cleveland Browns to a 24-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. After a difficult debut last week, the rookie quarterback threw for 209 yards and one touchdown, showcasing his potential with a brilliant 52-yard pass to Isaiah Bond. While HC Kevin Stefanski was non-committal about Shedeur's role moving forward, the young QB has certainly given him something to think about.
Social Media Erupts After Eagles Collapse
The Eagles' blown lead sparked a frenzy on social media, with fans expressing their disappointment and frustration. The collapse is tied for the second-worst in Eagles history, leaving many questioning the team's performance in the second half. The Cowboys' stunning turnaround was celebrated widely, with Dak Prescott's performance drawing particular praise.
