Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeat the New Orleans Saints:

In a breakout game for Jameis Winston the Buccaneers rattled Drew Brees making the Saints look like a shell of their old Super Bowl team. Brees was hampered by a shoulder injury that significantly slowed down this New Orleans offense which made it tough sledding all day. Winston on the other hand finished with 1 rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown in his cleanest performance as a pro. His accuracy helped put the Buccaneers past the Saints, he went 14 for 21 from the field and gained 207 yards.

Cleveland Browns defeat Tennessee Titans:

Johnny Manziel and the Browns came to play against a red hot Titans team. Manziel completed 8 of 15 passes from the field, and gained 172 yards in a very dominant showing against solid Tennessee defense. Manziel had 2 touchdowns on a very productive day while his Tennessee counterpart struggled. Mariota ended up getting hit, and hit a lot. Mariota ended up fumbling three times and threw an interception that was later called back.  Mariota ended the day completing 21 of 37 passes and gained 257 yards through the air. He also ended the game with two touchdowns that saved his fantasy value.

Oakland Raiders defeat the Baltimore Ravens:

The Raiders were expected to be flattened by the unstoppable Ravens defense however that was not the case. The Raiders exploded with the help of their offensive line and Derek Carr's stellar performance. Carr ended the game completing 30 of 46 passes, earning 351 yards through the air, and 3 touchdowns. Carr had one errant interception but ended up having the better weapons to utilize on this Sunday afternoon.
