Overview

  • Officials confirmed a video review overturned Emari Demercado’s would-be 72-yard touchdown into a touchback, a swing that helped Tennessee rally to defeat Arizona.
  • A roughing-the-kicker flag on the Chargers’ Marlowe Wax erased Ladd McConkey’s 57-yard punt-return score, and Washington kept the ball and tied the game on a drive that led to a 27-10 win.
  • Philadelphia surrendered 18 unanswered fourth-quarter points in a 21-17 loss to Denver, ending an 11-game winning run across regular season and playoffs.
  • Saquon Barkley did not practice Monday with a knee issue, the offensive line’s health is under scrutiny, and sportsbooks still favor the Eagles at the Giants on Thursday with tighter prices.
  • Waiver priorities shifted after breakouts by Rico Dowdle (206 rushing yards, TD), Jacory Croskey-Merritt (111 rushing yards, two TDs) and Jaylen Waddle (6 catches, 110 yards, TD), with Week 6 rankings reflecting those gains.
