The Jets went to the "Pin" route (post + in) on Ryan Fitzpatrick's TD pass to Jalin Marshall. With an inside dig route to occupy the safety, Marshall had a one-on-one outside to run the post route. Good ball from Fitzpatrick, too. Jets take a 23-20 lead over the Dolphins in the fourth quarter.

Because it has a transparent roof, it's easy to forget that U.S. Bank Stadium is a domed stadium. Its perfect conditions without question aided Lions PK Matt Prater's 58-yard field goal attempt. Prater drilled the kick with room to spare. The Vikings and Lions are going to overtime.

Ryan (Nine Lives) Fitzpatrick threw his second interception, this one in the end zone, down 20-16 -- another red-zone failure. No one was there, so we have to assume it was a miscommunication. Still, it was a poor decision.

The Cowboys did whatever they wanted to the Cleveland Browns in their 35-10 win. Dak Prescott was efficient with three touchdown passes. Ezekiel Elliott had 92 yards and two touchdowns and just one fourth-quarter carry. The defense once again did not allow a 100-yard rusher or receiver. The Cowboys have now won seven straight, their longest winning streak since 2007.

Like the call from the Vikings...That's a TE Jet Sweep with backfield action away from the run. That forced the Lions defenders to put their eyes in the backfield and it also opened up the edge for Rhett Ellison to get into the end zone. Vikings take a 16-13 lead over the Lions.
