NFL Week 8 takeaways: What we learned, big questions for every game and future team outlooks

Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season had some close Halloween matchups, including the Cowboys edging the Vikings with Dak Prescott sidelined and quarterback Cooper Rush making his first start. The Titans and Colts went to overtime after a wild pick-six for Tennessee in the final two minutes followed by a game-tying drive for Indianapolis. The Titans ultimately won on a big OT field goal.

The Jets came from behind to beat the Bengals with Mike White under center, notching their second victory of the year. The Steelers navigated a 15-10 win over the Browns despite losing their kicker, and the Panthers got past the Falcons to get back in the win column.
