  • The ARIZONA CARDINALS and SEATTLE SEAHAWKS both came back from double-digit deficits in the fourth quarter to win.

The Cardinals, who trailed 10-0 entering the fourth quarter, scored the final 13 points of the game to defeat Tampa Bay 13-10. It marked the first time the Cardinals erased a 10 point fourth-quarter deficit to win in regulation since December 28, 2003 against Minnesota.

The Seahawks, who are 4-0 for the first time ever, came back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 23-20 in overtime. It is the first time the Seahawks have won a game after trailing by at least 14 points in the fourth quarter since December 29, 2002 against San Diego

The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS improved to 4-0 after defeating the New York Giants 31-7. The Chiefs are the second team in NFL history to start 4-0 after finishing the previous season with at least 14 losses (1980 Detroit).

The Broncos have won 15 consecutive regular-season games and each by at least seven points. That is the second-longest streak in NFL history trailing only the 1941-42 Chicago Bears (16 games).

  • Buffalo rookie quarterback EJ MANUEL threw for 167 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 23-20 win over Baltimore. Manuel is the first rookie quarterback to defeat the defending Super Bowl champions in September.

  • Indianapolis quarterback ANDREW LUCK passed for 260 yards and two touchdowns in the Colts' 37-3 win at Jacksonville.
