  1. Green Bay wasted a 12-point lead and Philadelphia survived by one tackle. Sunday's September 13 late NFL window gave Minnesota a 39-22 comeback win and the Eagles a 24-22 escape, while Las Vegas beat Miami 27-13 and Arizona handled the Chargers 26-14.

    The Vikings had to erase a 12-point deficit. The Eagles needed one last tackle. The Raiders answered Miami's only touchdown immediately, while the Cardinals turned a blocked punt into breathing room. Here are the plays and performances that decided all four games.

    Vikings 39, Packers 22

    Christian Watson's 81-yard touchdown helped Green Bay build its lead; he finished with six catches for 147 yards and two scores. The Packers' official clip shows the explosive play Minnesota eventually overcame.

  2. After Kyler Murray left with a concussion, Wentz threw three touchdown passes and the Vikings scored the final 29 points. Justin Jefferson caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns. Green Bay outgained Minnesota 419-239, but its failed fourth-and-1 sneak and two late turnovers helped turn a 22-10 lead into a division loss. Murray's availability beyond Sunday remains unresolved.

    Eagles 24, Commanders 22

    Dallas Goedert's four receptions produced 77 yards and two touchdowns, including the 43-yard score that put Philadelphia eight points ahead in the fourth quarter. Jalen Hurts had kept that possession alive with a 22-yard scramble on third-and-18.

    Washington still had a chance after Jayden Daniels found Antonio Williams for a touchdown with 1:01 remaining. Ojomo stopped John Bates short on the two-point attempt, and DeVonta Smith recovered the onside kick. The Eagles' clip captures the tackle that settled the score.

    Jeanty combined 102 rushing yards with two receiving touchdowns, totaling 147 scrimmage yards on 29 touches. With Brock Bowers inactive, Las Vegas got sustained work from its backfield and six catches from Michael Mayer.

    Miami closed to 17-13 on Malik Willis' third-quarter touchdown run. Kirk Cousins answered by finding Jeanty for another 13-yard score. The Raiders' pass rush then kept Miami quiet: five sacks helped hold the Dolphins to two third-down conversions in 10 attempts. Jeanty's official touchdown clip follows.

    Cardinals 26, Chargers 14

    Arizona led only 16-14 when Simi Fehoko blocked J.K. Scott's fourth-quarter punt. Taking over at the Chargers' 3, the Cardinals needed two plays to reach the end zone on Jacoby Brissett's pass to McBride.

  5. McBride finished with nine catches for 95 yards. Brissett threw for 277 yards without an interception, and Arizona held the ball for 37:31. Rookie Jeremiyah Love scored the opening touchdown, while Tyler Allgeier led the backfield with 17 carries. Andrew Wingard's interception helped protect the lead after McBride's score.
