Barkley boosted his MVP odds at the expense of Jackson, who continues to put up dazzling numbers. But the Ravens have hit a rough patch, going 3-3 in their last six games. The reigning MVP’s stats were strong vs. Philly (23-of-36, 237 passing yards, two touchdown passes, 79 rushing yards), but were not enough to get the win.

While the MVP candidate is clearly the engine, other players are doing their part. Plus, how the Commanders and Seahawks have rebounded from skids, the Bengals are 4–8, the Bills are AFC East champs again and more.

• Trevor Lawrence took an illegal hit late in the first half that resulted in him fencing (and a fight ensued), which is always scary. Mac Jones took over the rest of the game and eventually snapped the NFL’s longest active streak without a TD pass.
