Big changes to the agency charged with securing elections lead to midterm worries
SUMMARY: The federal agency that oversees the security of election systems was largely absent from planning before elections this month in several states. That's leading many state election officials to be concerned about how engaged the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency will be for next year’s midterms. Officials are citing the shifting priorities of the Trump administration, as well as staffing reductions and budget cut. Some officials say they've begun scrambling to fill the anticipated gaps. But representatives of the federal agency say it's ready to provide election expertise if asked and that future organizational plans will be announced “at the appropriate time.”.

Henry rushes for 2 TDs to help sluggish Ravens to fifth straight win, 23-10 over Jets
SUMMARY: Derrick Henry scored two third-quarter touchdowns,and the Baltimore Ravens recovered from a sleepy first half to beat the New York Jets 23-10 for their fifth straight victory. Baltimore has gone from 1-5 to 6-5, but this was not a particularly convincing performance. Lamar Jackson went 13 of 23 for 153 yards and did not look as mobile as usual after dealing with knee and ankle issues recently. Henry was held to 64 yards on 21 carries. Tyrod Taylor started in place of the benched Justin Fields and threw for 222 yards with a touchdown and had a late interception for the Jets.

Jets' failed fourth-down gamble proves pivotal in 23-10 loss to Ravens
SUMMARY: With his team playing surprisingly well against the heavily favored Baltimore Ravens, Jets first-year coach Aaron Glenn had no desire to play it safe on a fourth-down play in his own territory. There might be a time in the future when a similar roll-the-dice decision pays off for the fiery coach. On Sunday, his gutsy third-quarter call misfired miserably. Glenn kept his offense on the field with the Jets down 10-7 and facing a fourth-and-2 from their own 42. Tyrod Taylor fired an incomplete pass to a tightly covered John Metchie and the Ravens turned the failed gamble into the pivotal touchdown in a 23-10 victory Sunday.

Interim coach Mike Kafka has no regrets about aggressive fourth-down call in Giants' loss to Lions
SUMMARY: Mike Kafka sees no point in second-guessing himself. In his second game as the New York Giants interim coach, Kafka made a bold decision that ended up costing his team. Late in the fourth quarter, the Giants were stopped for a 4-yard loss on third-and-goal from the 2. Kafka decided to go for it on fourth down, rather than kicking a short field goal for a six-point lead. The Lions ended up tying the game with a long field goal and winning 34-27 in overtime. Kafka says he was trying to win the game and wanted to score as many points as possible.

Jahmyr Gibbs rescues Lions with long TD run in OT for 34-27 win over Giants
SUMMARY: The Detroit Lions have avoided losing consecutive games for the first time in more than three years.

The longtime Packers QB has a 25-5 career record against the Bears. Chicago won for the eighth time in nine games to improve to 8-3.

Dak Prescott breaks Tony Romo's franchise record for yards passing with the Dallas Cowboys
SUMMARY: Dak Prescott has become the franchise leader in yards passing for the Dallas Cowboys, moving past Tony Romo with a 9-yard completion to George Pickens on his first throw of the second half against Philadelphia. Prescott replaced Romo as the starter when he was a rookie in 2016 after Romo was injured in a preseason game. He led the Cowboys on an 11-game winning streak and never gave the job back. The completion to Pickens broke Romo’s record of 34,183 yards passing.

With Aaron Rodgers sidelined, Mason Rudolph and the Steelers fall short in Chicago
SUMMARY: Aaron Rodgers might own the Chicago Bears, but the Pittsburgh Steelers don't. Rodgers was sidelined by a broken left wrist on Sunday. Mason Rudolph started in his place and tried to rally the Steelers late, but they came up short in a 31-28 loss. Rodgers got hurt last week in a win over Cincinnati. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin says it was a “prudent decision” to sit Rodgers. He thinks the veteran quarterback should be ready next weekend, when Pittsburgh hosts Buffalo. The Steelers fell to 6-5 and into a first-place tie with the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC North.

Dak Prescott rallies Cowboys from 21 down to beat Eagles 24-21 after breaking Tony Romo's record
SUMMARY: Brandon Aubrey kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired after Dak Prescott rallied Dallas from a 21-point deficit and the Cowboys beat the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 in a mistake-filled thriller. The Cowboys converted on their third tiebreaking chance of the fourth quarter. The win extended Prescott’s home winning streak against NFC East opponents to 19 in Dallas' first game at AT&T Stadium since the death of defensive end Marshawn Kneeland. The Eagles are still in good shape to be repeat winners in the NFC East. But the Super Bowl champs' offense reverted to the form that has frustrated A.J. Brown.

False start: Eagles go scoreless after TDs on their first 3 drives in their loss to Cowboys
SUMMARY: A.J. Brown was catching passes and the Philadelphia Eagles were moving the ball down the field. For an offense that has drawn criticism this season from its three-time Pro Bowl receiver, things seemed to be going in the right direction Sunday. The NFC East-leading Eagles had a three-touchdown lead after their first three possessions against division rival Dallas. Then they ran into some of the same issues it has this season. Philadelphia is now 8-3 after not scoring another point and losing 24-21 on a game-ending field goal.

Cowboys don't challenge after refs miss tipped ball on roughing the punter call
SUMMARY: The Dallas Cowboys didn’t challenge after getting penalized for roughing the punter even though Ryan Flournoy got his fingertips on the ball before Marist Liufau crashed into Philadelphia’s Braden Mann. The call kept alive the Eagles’ second touchdown drive of the first quarter on their way to a 21-point lead. Dallas rallied for a 24-21 victory. The NFL says replay assist didn't have access to an “enhanced replay” on Flournoy's tip until it was too late. Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer says the team didn't think there would be enough evidence to overturn the call.

Raiders fire offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after their latest rough performance
SUMMARY: Las Vegas Raiders offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has been fired after another poor offensive performance. The Raiders lost 24-10 to Cleveland on Sunday, allowing 10 sacks of Geno Smith. Coach Pete Carroll announced Kelly's dismissal just hours after the game. Carroll, in his first year with the Raiders, did not immediately name a new coordinator. Kelly reportedly received a $6 million contract, the highest for an NFL offensive coordinator. But the Raiders' offense ranks among the worst in the league, and it has regressed in recent weeks.
