Lions 24, Packers 14 – Kerby Joseph’s pick-6 helps Lions beat Packers 24-14 and take command of NFC North
Kerby Joseph scored on a 27-yard interception return and the Detroit Lions converted two fourth downs into touchdowns as they continued one of the best starts in franchise history by beating the Green Bay Packers 24-14. The NFC North-leading Lions are 7-1 for the first time since 1956. They withstood the second-quarter ejection of safety Brian Branch and won at Lambeau Field for a third straight year, thriving on a rainy and windy day. Over his past last six games, Goff has completed 82.8% of his passes and has a 140.1 passer rating, both the best over any six-game stretch in NFL history. Detroit took the lead for good on the first play of the second quarter when Goff hit Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 3-yard touchdown on fourth-and-goal. Jahmyr Gibbs capped the opening drive of the second half by rushing for a 15-yard touchdown on fourth-and-1 to extend the Lions’ lead to 24-3.
Cardinals 29, Bears 9 – Surging Cardinals beat the Bears 29-9 for 3rd straight victory
Emari Demercado ran 53 yards for a touchdown just before halftime, James Conner added 107 yards on the ground and the surging Arizona Cardinals put together a dominant 29-9 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday. The Cardinals (5-4) have won three in a row for the first time in three seasons. It’s another tough loss for the Bears (4-4), who have dropped two straight. They lost to the Commanders 18-15 last week on a Hail Mary and were burned once again as the clock was winding down against the Cardinals, though this lapse came in the final seconds of the first half. Chicago rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked six times, completing 22 of 41 passes for 216 yards.
Vikings 21, Colts 13 – Darnold throws 3 TD passes in 2nd half as Vikings beat Flacco, Colts 21-13
Sam Darnold overcame four sacks and three turnovers by throwing three second-half touchdown passes, and the Minnesota defense made Indianapolis quarterback Joe Flacco’s return to the starting role a rough one as the Vikings beat the Colts 21-13. Justin Jefferson had 137 receiving yards as the Vikings stopped a two-game skid and improved to 6-2. Darnold threw for 290 yards. Kenny Moore II’s 38-yard fumble return in the second quarter was the only touchdown for the Colts, who fell to 4-5. Flacco threw for 179 yards and an interception while replacing the inconsistent Anthony Richardson.

Oregon, Georgia, Miami, and BYU remained the top four seeds in the The Associated Press College Football Playoff projection. Indiana’s initial appearance on the bracket gives the Big Ten and SEC four teams apiece in the field. This is the final AP projection with the CFP selection committee announcing its first rankings on Tuesday.

MLB – Matt Chapman wins 5th Gold Glove, Witt among 14 first-time winners

NASCAR – Blaney gets shot at back-to-back NASCAR titles after controversial finish
Ryan Blaney earned a chance to defend his NASCAR championship with a victory Sunday at Martinsville Speedway that pushed the Team Penske driver into the winner-take-all season finale. The ending of the race was marred by a lengthy NASCAR review in which scoring officials had to determine if Christopher Bell had violated a safety rule in his last-lap pass of William Byron. Bell hit the wall and rode a portion of it for momentum — the same thing Ross Chastain did two years ago in a move that has since been banned. Bell’s pass of Byron left them tied in points for the final spot in next week’s title-decider at Phoenix Raceway. Bell’s move was deemed illegal and Byron was given the final spot.
