NFL Recap & Results | October 11, 2026
Week 5's Sunday slate produced the season's first tie, a 57-yard walk-off field goal in London, and one more narrow escape for an unbeaten team. Cam Little beat Philadelphia as time expired at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Jayden Daniels returned from his elbow injury and then watched the clock run out in overtime against the Giants, and the 49ers beat Seattle on a late Eddy Pineiro kick to stay 5-0. Here's how it went down, plus a look at how the card and the season-to-date record held up.
Cam Little's 57-Yarder Stuns the Eagles in London
Philadelphia Eagles 17, Jacksonville Jaguars 19
Philadelphia, without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, nearly stole it. Jalen Carter had two sacks and two forced fumbles, the Eagles' defense made two goal-line stands, and Jake Elliott's 48-yard field goal with eight seconds left put Philadelphia ahead 17-16. Then Ameer Abdullah returned the ensuing kickoff 53 yards to the Eagles' 39, one second remained, and Cam Little made a 57-yard field goal to win it.
Trevor Lawrence was 24-of-39 for 331 yards with two touchdown passes, both to Parker Washington, and an interception, and Jacksonville held the ball for 35:02 to Philadelphia's 24:58. Jalen Hurts was 21-of-40 for 220 yards and a touchdown, and the Eagles scored their first second-half points in three weeks. Jacksonville improved to 4-1, and Philadelphia fell to 2-3.

Giants and Commanders Tie as Daniels Unintentionally Runs Out the Clock
New York Giants 27, Washington Commanders 27 (OT)
Washington looked like it was cruising. Jacory Croskey-Merritt scored on a 33-yard run to finish a four-play opening drive, and Daniels, back from a dislocated left elbow, added rushing touchdowns of 38 and 26 yards. After a two-point conversion, the Commanders led 27-13 with 11:05 left.
Then Jameis Winston took over. He was 33-of-54 for 326 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Isaiah Likely (11 catches for 94 yards) and the tying score to Malik Nabers (11 catches for 121 yards) with 1:43 left. Giants kicker Dominic Zvada missed three field goals, including a 46-yarder on the first possession of overtime.
That gave Washington a chance. Daron Payne stripped Cam Skattebo with the Giants in field goal range, Daniels moved the Commanders to the Giants' 24-yard line, and with 12 seconds left and no timeouts he held the ball and went down for no gain. The clock ran out before Washington could snap it again, and the game ended in the NFL's first tie of the season. Daniels finished 17-of-25 for 199 yards and ran nine times for 103 yards. The Giants moved to 3-1-1 and the Commanders to 1-3-1.

49ers Survive Seattle on Pineiro's Late Kick
San Francisco 49ers 32, Seattle Seahawks 29
San Francisco turned four Seattle turnovers into 21 points, none bigger than Gracen Halton's recovery of a George Holani fumble in the end zone just before halftime that made it 21-13. Seattle fought back behind Jason Myers, who made five field goals, and led 26-21 late in the third quarter. Brock Purdy answered with a 7-yard touchdown to Brandin Cooks and a two-point conversion to Mike Evans for a 29-26 lead, Myers tied it with a 40-yarder, and Eddy Pineiro made a 44-yard field goal with 1:56 left for the win.
Purdy was 19-of-29 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and an interception, and Seattle sacked him three times, ending a streak of zero sacks through the first four games. Evans caught seven passes for 113 yards, and Christian McCaffrey ran for 68 yards and a score. Sam Darnold was 18-of-29 for 195 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, and was sacked five times, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba had five catches for 102 yards and a score. San Francisco moved to 5-0 and Seattle fell to 3-2, now 2.5 games back in the NFC West. The 49ers lost Deebo Samuel to an injury in the third quarter and linebacker Dre Greenlaw to an ejection in the second.

The Rest of the Slate
Patriots 45, Raiders 17: Drake Maye was 26-of-34 for 374 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover, and added a rushing score, as New England piled up 536 total yards and never trailed. Las Vegas managed 38 rushing yards on 18 carries.
Packers 31, Bears 7: Jordan Love was 25-of-31 for 367 yards and two touchdowns, both long, without a turnover. Chicago, playing without Caleb Williams and Kyle Monangai, turned it over five times and finished with 246 yards, and Tyson Bagent gave way to Case Keenum before the end.
Jets 17, Browns 12: New York sacked Deshaun Watson eight times, three of them by rookie David Bailey, and Cleveland netted just 102 passing yards. Allen's 22-yard touchdown run with 3:07 left made it 17-12.
Texans 26, Titans 3: Houston earned its first win of the season, and Tennessee fell to 0-5.
Steelers 34, Colts 22: Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes, which CBS Sports noted moved him past Peyton Manning on the NFL's all-time list, as Pittsburgh improved to 3-2.
Vikings 23, Saints 13: Minnesota stayed unbeaten at 5-0.
Bengals 31, Dolphins 24: Cincinnati moved to 3-2, and Miami fell to 0-5.
Broncos 23, Chargers 17: Denver took a late lead on a field goal after a Justin Herbert fumble and held on, dropping Los Angeles to 0-5.
Lions 45, Cardinals 21: Detroit's defense, which entered allowing a league-worst 31.8 points per game, held an opponent under 30 for the first time this season and sacked Arizona five times.
Ravens 30, Falcons 23 (OT): Tyler Huntley, starting for the injured Lamar Jackson, was 24-of-32 for 201 yards and two touchdowns, led a tying touchdown and two-point conversion with 40 seconds left in regulation, and sneaked in from the 1-yard line on Baltimore's first overtime possession. Derrick Henry ran for 102 yards and caught an 18-yard touchdown against Atlanta's top-ranked run defense, and Kyle Hamilton intercepted Tua Tagovailoa to seal it after Michael Penix Jr. left with a rib injury. Baltimore moved to 4-1, and Atlanta fell to 2-3 after leading 23-15 late.
Returns and Absences
Daniels came back from his elbow injury and ran for 103 yards, but the tie showed one player does not fix everything. Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith sat out in London, Nick Bosa was out in Seattle, and Deebo Samuel left the 49ers' win in the third quarter. Lamar Jackson sat out in Atlanta, where Tyler Huntley beat the Falcons in overtime, and Michael Penix Jr. left that game late with a rib injury, with Tagovailoa finishing in his place.
A Tie, a Walk-Off, and an Unbeaten Escape.
Week 5's Sunday slate had a first tie of the season, a 57-yard field goal as time expired in London, and a late field goal that kept the 49ers perfect. Minnesota and San Francisco are 5-0, Kansas City is 4-0 coming out of its bye week, and Tennessee, Miami, and the Chargers are all still winless. Week 5 closes Monday night with the Bills at the Rams.
Star of the Day: Drake Maye, QB, New England
26-of-34 passing | 374 yards | 4 TD | 0 INT | 1 rushing TD
Jameis Winston's 326-yard, three-touchdown comeback and Mike Evans' 113 yards and two-point conversion in Seattle made cases of their own, but Maye's four touchdown passes without a turnover, five total touchdowns, and 536 yards of offense in a 28-point rout is the clearer story.
Dud of the Day: Chicago's offense
246 total yards | 5 turnovers | 3 INT | 4 sacks allowed | 7 points
Deshaun Watson being sacked eight times in Cleveland's 17-12 loss and Washington's overtime clock management were in the conversation, but a Bears offense that turned it over five times and managed 246 yards in a 24-point loss, without Caleb Williams and Kyle Monangai, is the clearer dud.
How We Did: Checking the Card
Sunday's card went 3-9-1 on sides and 9-4 on totals across 13 games.
Philadelphia @ Jacksonville: The preview leaned Jacksonville -7.5 (Toss-up) and the under at 41.5 (Lean), citing Philadelphia's injury report and a number that had already moved three points. Jacksonville won by two on Little's walk-off kick, so the side fell short, while the teams combined for 36 points, well under the total. The side lean missed; the under lean cleared.
New York @ Washington: The preview leaned New York +3.5 (Toss-up) and the over at 41.5 (Toss-up). The game ended in a tie, so New York did not lose by more than the number, and the teams combined for 54 points. The side lean cleared; the over lean cleared.
San Francisco @ Seattle: The preview leaned Seattle -3 (Toss-up) and the under at 45.5 (Lean), citing Seattle's recent success against Purdy and San Francisco's missing pass rusher. San Francisco won by three, so the side missed, and the teams combined for 61 points, 15.5 past the total. The side lean missed; the under lean missed.
By tier: Lean 6-7, Toss-up 6-6-1.
