The Giants lost in Seattle to drop into a tie with the Cowboys.

New York (6-2) saw its four-game win streak snapped and lost ground to undefeated Philadelphia in the NFC East — mainly because the Seahawks contained Saquon Barkley, who was held to a season-low 53 yards on 20 carries and had three catches for 9 yards.

Washington Commanders -- 4-4

The Commanders got a big road win over the Colts.

Taylor Heinicke was 23 of 31 passing for 279 yards, one touchdown, and one interception as Washington rallied for a huge victory.
