The NFL is working its way through the Sunday slate and will close out with a couple key west division matchups in primetime: the Raiders host the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football and the 49ers host the Rams on Monday Night Football.

The Dolphins got things off to a wild start with an upset of the Ravens on Thursday Night Football. Sunday saw a mix of wild upsets and favorites rectifying things in the 1 p.m. slate. Notably, Washington stunned the Bucs at FedEx Field as 9.5-point underdogs. On the other side of the coin, he Cowboys crushed the Falcons and the Bills rolled the Jets, giving both teams a big bounce-back win after embarrassing performances in Week 9.
