Overview

• The 49ers climbed to No. 1 at 4-1 after a short-handed win over the Rams, with Mac Jones steady in relief and Christian McCaffrey healthy.
• New England handed Buffalo a Sunday night loss, tempering the Bills’ early AFC buzz and tightening the divisional outlook.
• Denver’s 17-3 fourth-quarter rally in Philadelphia spotlighted the Eagles’ late-game offensive stalls and protection issues.
• The Jets are the league’s lone 0-5 team, and their defense became the first to reach that mark without a single takeaway.
• The Ravens were thumped 44-10 at home without Lamar Jackson and the Burrow-less Bengals continued to skid, underscoring injury-driven declines.
