Overview

• Chicago’s Josh Blackwell blocked Daniel Carlson’s 54-yard attempt with 33 seconds left, the Bears’ first blocked field goal in more than two years.
• The Raiders’ right edge on the kick team featured Jonah Laulu in place of concussed tight end Michael Mayer, a late change that failed to slow Blackwell’s rush.
• Geno Smith went 14-of-21 for 117 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions and now has seven picks this season, yet Carroll is keeping him as QB1.
• Rookie Ashton Jeanty delivered 155 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns, including a 64-yard run, and later voiced public support for Smith.
• Jeanty was nominated for AFC Offensive Player of the Week, but the NFL named Patrick Mahomes the winner, while play-calling on a late third-and-2 and special-teams execution drew scrutiny ahead of a trip to the Colts on October 5.
