NFL Week 10: Upsets, Breakouts, Blowouts — And A Historic Morning in Germany
Week 10 delivered one of the wildest Sundays of the season, packed with stunning upsets, breakout performances, major rebound stories, and even an appearance from the President. From Berlin to Miami to Foxborough, the league delivered drama from morning to night.
Taylor Runs into the History Books in Germany
The NFL’s penultimate international matchup in Berlin turned into an instant classic, with Jonathan Taylor powering the Indianapolis Colts to a 31–25 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Taylor exploded for 244 rushing yards and three touchdowns — joining Jim Brown, Adrian Peterson, and Derrick Henry as the only players ever with multiple games of 200+ yards and 3 TDs.
His walk-off score in overtime kept the Colts atop the AFC South at 8–2, while the Falcons stumbled to 3–6.
A Sunday of Upsets: Jets, Dolphins, Saints All Stun
The bottom tier of the league finally punched back.
New York Jets:
Fresh off a bye and their first win of the year, the Jets shocked Cleveland 27–20 behind two special-teams touchdowns and a Breece Hall receiving score. They now have back-to-back wins for the first time since 2023.
Miami Dolphins:
After a week of turbulence and questions around Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa, the Dolphins stunned the Buffalo Bills 30–13, snapping a seven-game losing streak against their division rivals.
New Orleans Saints:
Rookie QB Tyler Shough delivered a poised performance, throwing for 282 yards and two TDs in a 17–7 win against Carolina — giving the Saints a rare bright spot in a 2–8 campaign.
Patriots Resurgent — And Looking Legit Again
After years of post-Brady identity crisis, the Patriots suddenly look like contenders.
Mike Vrabel has reenergized the franchise, rookie QB Drake Maye is thriving, and New England now sits at 8–2 after a 28–23 win in Tampa Bay.
TreVeyon Henderson added two rushing touchdowns as the Pats seized control of the AFC East.
Late-Slate Blowouts — And a Presidential Cameo
The afternoon window lacked the suspense of the early games, but brought its own headlines.
President Donald Trump became the first sitting president since Jimmy Carter to attend an NFL regular-season game — appearing in Maryland for Commanders–Lions.
It didn’t help the home team: Washington was hammered 44–22.
Elsewhere:
Seattle Seahawks 44, Arizona Cardinals 22
Sam Darnold continued his under-the-radar renaissance, while DeMarcus Lawrence scored twice on fumble returns.
Los Angeles Rams 42, San Francisco 49ers 26
Matt Stafford carved up the short-handed Niners with four touchdown passes as the Rams moved to 7–2, matching Seattle atop the NFC West.
Still One More to Go
Week 10 wraps up with a heavyweight Monday Night Football clash:
the reigning champion Philadelphia Eagles visit Green Bay to face the Packers in Titletown.
A fitting end to a week where almost nothing went according to script — and everything was worth watching.
