The early games had Joe Burrow going down with an injury and Pittsburgh staying perfect, while the afternoon saw the Cowboys picking up a win and the Chargers holding a lead to the finish.

Check out all the biggest moments from the day so far.

Joe Burrow exits the game

In an unfortunate turn of events, Cincinnati rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was hit in his left leg on a third down play and was carted off the field following the blow. 

For more on the injury, follow all the latest, along with the NFL world's reaction, here.

Cowboys with the comeback

It was an absolute slug fest between the Cowboys and Vikings, in a game that saw six lead changes, before Dallas came away with the 31-28 victory.

Dallas quarterback Andy Dalton came up clutch with a pass to another Dalton – tight end Dalton Schultz – late in the contest.

And Cowboys rookie receiver Ceedee Lamb had a touchdown grab that should be hung in The Louvre.

The Cowboys defense came up with the final stop in the end, but allowed big plays from quarterback Kirk Cousins throughout the contest. 

Cousins finished with 314 yards and three touchdowns in the defeat, two of which went to \ receiver Adam Thielen.

The Colts called game

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers duked it out all game long, but Rodgers kept the Packers alive, forcing overtime.

Just admire this 47-yard rainbow from Rodgers.

However, after a Green Bay fumble in overtime, the Colts took over and Indianapolis locked up the win with a 39-yard field goal.

Pittsburgh remains undefeated

It was a total team effort from Pittsburgh in a decisive win over Jacksonville, 27-3.

As the Jags were knocking on the door, Minkah swooped in and said "nope" with the pick.

Meanwhile, receiver Chase Claypool made history, becoming the first wide receiver in the Super Bowl era and the fourth in league history with at least 10 total touchdowns in his first 10 games.

And Claypool wasn't the only receiver making plays, as Pittsburgh's Diontae Johnson somehow stayed with it for a snag inside the one-yard line.

Deshaun does it all

Houston's Deshaun Watson sent a perfect pass to Randcall Cobb early.

The Texans won the day, but it wasn't without a valiant effort from Cam and Co., as Damiere Byrd had a career day, eclipsing the 100-yard recieving mark for the first time.

The Patriots even tried to get tricky with it, as Rex Burkhead tossed it back to Cam Newton who sent it on a rope to Jakobi Meyers for the first down.

But all that effort was for naught, as the Patriots are now 4-6 this season.

PJ Walker gets first career win

Carolina quarterback PJ Walker – making his first career NFL start after starring in the XFL – dropped it in the breadbasket for a 52-yard gain to DJ Moore.

Walker was dealing all day long, including this 17-yard score.

Detroit's defense put up a fight, snagging a the pick in the end zone, denying the Panthers points on this red zone trip.

Browns defense dominates the day 

Cleveland added two more interceptions to Philly quarterback Carson Wentz's resume, including a house call from LB Sione Takitaki.

And Cleveland's offense added some magic as well.

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield joined the party, unloading a bomb to Rashard Higgins for a 43-yard gain into Eagles territory.

Cleveland came away with a 22-17 win.

Action Jackson

Baltimore's Lamar Jackson slung an arrow to Mark Andrews for a 30-yard pickup.

Lamar and the Ravens took it to overtime, but the Titans were the ones who came away victorious, as Tennessee's Derrick Henry won the game in record-setting fashion.

In the 30-24 rout, Henry became the first running back to post 1,000 rushing yards this season.

Toe-drag touchdown

Tua time started early for the Dolphins, as Tagovailoa found DeVante Parker on the edge for the toe-tap score.

However, later, Tua was benched later after taking six sacks and down by 10 points.

Ryan Fitzpatrick went in, but sealed Miami's fate with an end zone interception by Justin Simmons.

The Dolphins lost, 20-13.

Justin Herbert was dealing

Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert tossed darts all day long to the tune of 366 yards for three touchdowns and no interceptions.

Seriously, it was child's play for the rookie gunslinger.

The Chargers' defense added to the assault, picking off Joe Flacco and taking it straight to the crib for six.

But Flacco and the Jets put up a fight, as Flacco let it fly in the second half, including this deep 49-yard touchdown bomb to Breshad Perriman.

But the Chargers held on for a 34-26 victory.

Don't stand in Nick Chubb's way

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb hit the defender with a straight savage stiff arm.

Dez caught it

Baltimore's Dez Bryant hauled in his first catch since December 31, 2017.

Ridley gets vertical

Atlanta receiver Calvin Ridley shook the defender and climbed the ladder for the 46-yard grab.

Eric Kendricks makes plays

The Vikings linebacker was out there looking like a wide receiver with this pick off of Dallas quarterback Andy Dalton.
