Here are the highlights!

Philadelphia Eagles 31, Miami Dolphins 17

Trout's in the house!

Angels superstar and known Philly super fan Mike Trout was in attendance for the big Sunday matchup.

Down the sideline!

On National Tight Ends day, Dallas Goedert hauled in the game's first big gain — a 22-yard reception that helped set up the game's first score, a 24-yard field goal.

Cheetah sighting!

There was no secret who was going to get the lion's share of the touches for Miami, and Tua Tagovailoa found his favorite target early for a nice gain. 

The 'Fins hopped into their bag of tricks early in the first quarter to net a field goal, as Mike McDaniel said he would not be shy about getting creative.

Screen time

Goedert is certainly enjoying his holiday, and he upped the ante on festivities by rumbling his way to the end zone on a tight end screen. The play put the Eagles up 10-3 in the second quarter.

On the run 

No quarterback has had more rushing TD than Jalen Hurts in the past few seasons, and he showed why with this impressive rollout and dime to AJ Brown …

… Which Philly followed up with its famous "brotherly shove."

Too fast for you

Like we said, Tua was going to find Tyreek Hill, who jetted his way past the defense to reel in a 27-yard scoring grab, which capped an eight-play, 72-yard drive. It brought Miami within seven just before the half.

Back the other way!

Miami's offense has carried most of its success this season, but this time, the defense got in on the scoring, as Jerome Baker made off with a tipped pass for an interception touchdown.

Say hey, AJ!

AJ Brown and the end zone have been fast friends this season, and he paid another visit to its home to close to third quarter. He broke a couple of tackles after reeling in the catch and made his way to the pylon to put Philly up 24-17.

Make the play Slay!

That's why they call him "Big Play!" The Dolphins nearly got into the red zone after a 40-plus-yard drive, but in their attempt to tie the game, Darius Slay emerged with a game-changing interception at the one-yard line.

Are you serious?

Only three wide receivers in NFL history have had five straight games with at least 125 yards, and AJ Brown is one of them. He passed the benchmark in this game with his best catch of the day, an absolute stunner.

The Eagles went back to their running game after Brown's huge grab, as Kenneth Gainwell spun his way into the end zone to put them up 31-17.

Seattle Seahawks 20, Arizona Cardinals 10

His first career TD!

Jaxon Smith-Njigba picked up his first NFL touchdown in the first quarter, hauling in a pass from Geno Smith over the middle to put the Seahawks up 7-0.

Dashing Dobbs

Joshua Dobbs showed his running ability in the middle of the second quarter, taking off for a 25-yard run that found him in the end zone, celebrating a touchdown that gave the Cardinals a 10-3 lead.

Bobo controls it

Jake Bobo was able to make an impressive grab in the back corner of the end zone, keeping his feet inbounds to come down with a touchdown reception that gave the Seahawks a 14-10 lead in the second quarter.

Pittsburg Steelers 24, Los Angeles Rams 17

Tutu over the top

Tutu Atwell was able to come down with the jump ball on Matthew Stafford's deep pass, making the grab right before the end zone and ran in for the extra yard to give the Rams a 9-3 lead before halftime. 

He can play in pass coverage, too!

T.J. Watt added to his Defensive Player of the Year case, intercepting Stafford on the opening drive of the second half and returned the ball to the Rams' 6-yard line. The interception set up the Steelers to get their first touchdown of the game and go up 10-9.

Nice catch, Nacua!

Puka Nacua somehow came down with the grab along the sideline on Stafford's deep pass, hauling in the grab for a 30-plus-yard gain to set the Rams up for a touchdown that gave them a 17-10 lead.

Just give it to Johnson 

Diontae Johnson came up with a big grab at the start of the fourth quarter, moving past Rams defenders to get a 39-yard gain to help set the Steelers up for the game-tying score a few plays later. 

Harris takes it home

Najee Harris ran up the gut for a 3-yard score that gave the Steelers a 24-17 lead late in the fourth quarter.

Pickett picks up the first, and the win

On fourth-and-1, the Steelers quarterback was able to get the first down on a QB sneak. There was some controversy, however, on whether he actually made the line to gain, with Rams coach Sean McVay looking confused on the sideline.

Kansas City Chiefs 31, Los Angeles Chargers 17

MVS moves his way for six

Marquez Valdes-Scantling got the game's first touchdown, taking Patrick Mahomes' pass 22 extra yards for a 46-yard touchdown to give the Chiefs a 10-3 lead.

Kelley runs away for six

Joshua Kelley scored a 49-yard touchdown with relative ease, getting good blocking upfront that allowed him to make just one move before dashing with no one able to catch him.

Rice, Rice, baby

Rashee Rice made an impressive catch in the back of the end zone, keeping his balance and control of the ball as he was hit after making the reception to give the Chiefs a touchdown and a 17-10 lead.

Everett in the end zone

Gerald Everett got open in the end zone to help cap off an impressive Chargers drive in the second quarter, evening the score at 17-17. 

Keep pushing Kelce

Travis Kelce needed some rare help in getting into the end zone, catching Mahomes' shovel pass in front of the goal line before getting pushed into the end zone to give the Chiefs a 24-17 lead going into halftime.

Pacheco pulls away

Isiah Pacheco took Mahomes' pass the distance, running in for a touchdown to get the Chiefs up by two scores and seal the win. 

Denver Broncos 19, Green Bay Packers 17

Finally finding the end zone

Courtland Sutton broke open and caught a pass from Russell Wilson in the end zone, scoring the game's first touchdown to give the Broncos a 16-3 lead in the third quarter.

Oh Romeo, there art thou!

Romeo Doubs was able to help the Packers respond to the Broncos' touchdown by coming down with a grab on Jordan Love's jump ball, making it a 16-10 game. 

Offensive tip drill

The Packers needed to pick up a yard on fourth-and-1, but it ended going for six anyway. Love's pass to Doubs ricocheted off the receiver's hands but landed in Jayden Reed's hands instead, giving the Packers a 17-16 lead in the fourth quarter. 

Locke locks up the win

After the Broncos kicked a field goal to go up 19-17, P.J. Locke came up with the interception to help Denver seal the deal. 

Atlanta Falcons 16, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 13

Runnin' Ridder

Desmond Ridder shook off his three-interception game from last week early on in Sunday's game, using his legs to get a score and give the Falcons an early lead.

On the money to Mike for a TD, but not as crisp on the leap

Baker Mayfield hit Mike Evans in stride for a deep 40-yard touchdown pass to help even the game up, but the star receiver's leap attempt didn't go as smoothly.

For the win!

The Falcons were able to stay afloat despite their three red zone turnovers, driving down the field late before Younghae Koo kicked a 51-yard field goal through the uprights to give the Falcons a 16-13 win at the buzzer.

Baltimore Ravens 38, Detroit Lions 6

Fourth-and-TD!

Lamar Jackson not only converted the first down on fourth-and-1, but he also rushed into the end zone for a 7-yard score to give Baltimore an early 7-0 lead. 

Patient Lamar

Jackson added his second touchdown of the day later in the first quarter, staying patient in the pocket before tossing a ball in the end zone to Nelson Agholor to give the Ravens a 14-0 lead.

Ravens rolling

Baltimore continued to dominate for much of the first half with Gus Edwards taking Jackson's pitch in the second quarter for a 2-yard score, giving it a 28-0 lead.

Celebrating National Tight Ends Day in style

Mark Andrews added his second touchdown reception of the game in the middle of the third quarter, celebrating the big day for his position in style as the Ravens went up 35-0.

Chicago Bears 30, Las Vegas Raiders 12

Foreman the touchdown man

D'Onta Foreman capped off an impressive drive led by undrafted rookie quarterback Tyson Bagent by rushing for a 2-yard score, giving the Bears a 7-0 lead late in the first quarter.

Foreman completes the hat trick!

The Bears running back scored his third touchdown of the day in the third quarter, hauling in a pass from Bagent for the rookie's first touchdown pass of his career.

Picking points the other way

Robinson runs it in

Brian Robinson helped the Commanders get their first points of the day in the third quarter, rushing for a 4-yard score to cut the Giants' lead to 14-7.

Coming up big!

The Giants were able to pick up the fourth-down stop in the final minute, forcing Sam Howell's pass to fall incomplete and hold onto a 14-7 win.

New England Patriots 29, Buffalo Bills 25

Zeke eating early

The Patriots capitalized off Josh Allen's interception in the first quarter by turning around and getting six points. Ezekiel Elliott closed off the drive by rushing for a 1-yard score to give New England an early 10-0 lead. 

Bills cook up a touchdown

The Bills finally found the end zone for the first time on Sunday in the third quarter, with Allen hitting James Cook out of the backfield on a pass that the running back turned into a touchdown. Buffalo cut New England's lead to 13-10 with the score.

Bourne to score

The Patriots extended their lead in the fourth quarter when Kendrick Bourne took Mac Jones' pass into the end zone, giving them a 22-10 advantage.

Slide-and-score!

The Bills responded right back after the Patriots' touchdown, with Stefon Diggs making an impressive move to keep the play alive before running in for a touchdown after his reception from Allen to make it a 22-17 game.

Watson hurt

Deshaun Watson left Sunday's game in the second quarter after taking a hard hit, with P.J. Walker replacing him. Watson was questionable entering Sunday's game after missing the last two games due to a shoulder injury. 

Wildcat score
