Week 8 was weird before it ever started—all 32 teams were in action. No byes. No off weeks.
And zaniness galore.
It wasn't all off-the-wall. The Washington Commanders gave the Philadelphia Eagles all they could handle, but Philly survived. The Dallas Cowboys scored another defensive touchdown in thumping the Los Angeles Rams. And the Miami Dolphins did what they have done all season—beat bad teams with a two-touchdown win over the New England Patriots.
But there were head-scratchers galore. A San Francisco 49ers team that beat the Cowboys 42-10 earlier this season was beaten soundly at home for their third straight loss.
