GIANTS WIN!

Giants 27-21 Texans, overtime

Here we go then JJ McCarthy. Only been a Giant for 27 days but has a chance to lead them to an important victory with the NFC East in shambles. Cam Skattebo gets a huge gain on a 42 yard rush then Singletary smashes in from 30 yards to win it. No need for McCarthy then.

Giants 21-21 Texans 8:54, overtime

Woody Marks goes nowhere on the opening play of overtime. CJ Stroud then picks out a Giant but Kayvon Thibodeaux drops it. How? He had it. Or at least it seemed like he did. Giants decline a holding penalty and bring up a quicker than quick 4th down.

49ers 14-19 Falcons 5:07, 3rd quarter

Bad news for the Falcons as star receiver Drake London exits the game after a hard hit to the head. Off for a concussion check no doubt. The Falcons have a 1st down around their 20-yard line.

PICK! 49ers 14-19 Falcons 5:34, 3rd quarter

That Falcons score has lit a fire under Brock Purdy. He hits George Kittle for a 20-yard strike then extends the play for an age out to the left sideline then finds Luke Farrell for 14 yards. The 49ers are in the red zone.

Well he was on fire until throwing a needless pick to Jessie Bates. Bates makes a stunning sideline grab while falling on to the sideline and just keeps his feet on the ground. The officials review for an age but the call stands. Advantage Atlanta!

49ers 14-19 Falcons 7:34, 3rd quarter

Christian McCaffrey is back for the 49ers! He is involved in the opening play for San Francisco after the Falcons TD as a dummy handoff allows Brock Purdy to find Jordan Watkins for 5 yards. He gets the handoff on the next play and loses two yards.

Bengals 7-13 Ravens 9:24, 3rd quarter

Atlanta in the red zone now after some short passes to Kyle Pitts and Drake London. A 12-yard grab for London methodically moves them to 1st and Goal. Michael Penix fakes the hand off, wheels out to his left and makes an easy throw to Michael Pitts in the left side of the end zone. Falcons lead!!!

Bengals 0-13 Ravens 14:18, 3rd quarter

Joe Burrow is out on the field with a seven yard completion. In the first half the Bengals QB was 6/12 for 43 yards. Not ideal.

49ers 14-12 Falcons 13:51, 3rd quarter

Baker is back, baby! Tampa have been so impressive capitalising on numerous Carolina mistakes. Three turnovers lost are the big story for the Panthers.

It’s GOOD! 49ers 14-12 Falcons, half-time

• N Folk 33 yard field goal

The 49ers defense do their job to avoid Atlanta taking the lead. The Falcons will still be feeling good if Christian McCaffrey doesn’t return after half-time.

• M Willis two yard rush

TOUCHDOWN! Browns 14-14 Titans 2:17, 2nd quarter

• T Loop 24 yard field goal

49ers 14-9 Falcons 0:29, 2nd quarter

On 3rd down at midfield Michael Penix finds Jahan Dotson but the receiver lets the ball bounce off his paws. They fake to go for it on 4th down and the Niners JUMP. 1st down Atlanta. The Falcons very pleased with that outcome on 4th and 4.

FUMBLE! 49ers 14-9 Falcons 4:15, 2nd quarter

San Fran struggling without Christian McCaffrey in the lineup as Kaelon Black fumbles twice on successive plays. The Niners recover the first but Falcons gather up the second. Chance to take the lead for Atlanta who are on their 30-yard line.

TOUCHDOWN! Buccaneers 26-6 Panthers 3:53, 2nd quarter

• B Irving one yard rush

Bucky Irving doubles up as Tampa Bay’s onslaught in Carolina continues

Bengals 0-10 Ravens 5:23, 2nd quarter

Cincinnati seriously struggling on offense as they have punted three times in succession to start this one.

DOWNS! Browns 7-14 Titans 9:34, 1st quarter

Tony Pollard thinks he has a hat-trick but is ruled just short on review. On the next play quarterback Cam Ward is stopped short as he keeps it away from Pollard and is stopped again on 3rd down. They finally go back to Pollard … AND HE IS STOPPED! Turnover on downs. Amazing stand from Cleveland on the one-yard line.
