It has been another fun NFL Sunday so far with some overtime games and surprising performances. Here is a recap of the early games that have just ended.

New Orleans Saints 34-31 OT Win over the Washington Redskins. Drew Brees continued his great season today and helped to lead the team back from a big 2nd half deficit. But the star for the Saints was running back Mark Ingram who had 11 carries for 134 yards and a touchdown.

Detroit Lions 27-24 Win over the Chicago Bears. Matthew Stafford played well as the Lions dominated the 2nd quarter and the 2nd half after falling behind 10-0. Bears kicker Connor Barth missed a field goal that could have forced OT.

Jacksonville Jaguars 19-7 Win over the Cleveland Browns. It was not a pretty game but the Jaguars got it done thanks to rookie running back Leonard Fournette and his 111 yards on the ground.

Baltimore Ravens 23-0 Win over the Green Bay Packers. This was a good win for the Ravens as their defense was the story. Packers quarterback Brett Hundley threw 3 interceptions and had a rough day at home.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-20 Win over the Miami Dolphins. The Bucs started Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback and he played great with 2 touchdowns and no interceptions. Jay Cutler on the other hand was awful for the Dolphins and tossed 3 picks. Matt Moore finished the game for the fins.

Minnesota Vikings 24-7 Win over the Los Angeles Rams. Case Keenum continued his strong play for the Vikings and got a lot of help from Latavias Murray who rushed for 95 yards and two touchdowns. The Viking defense was also fantastic and held Todd Gurley to just 37 yards on the ground.

Houston Texans 31-21 Win over the Arizona Cardinals. In a surprisingly high scoring game, Tom Savage tossed two touchdowns and D’Onta Foreman rushed for two more in the 4th quarter to give the Texans the W.

New York Giants 12-9 Win over the Kansas City Chiefs. In the most boring game of the day, Eli Manning led his team to an overtime victory. Both offenses struggled and had a hard time moving the ball.

There are 3 more afternoon NFL games on right now including the New England Patriots and the Oakland Raiders playing in Mexico. We will be back later with a recap of the afternoon action. Thank you for following @steemsports and you can find me @hogan22
