The Atlanta Falcons won over the New Orleans Saints to take an early lead in the NFC South and that was in the most exciting game of the weekend.

The Bengals won over the Ravens for a lead in the AFC North, while the Eagles won big over the Jaguars after falling behind early in the game. The Jets won and so did everyone else in the AFC East, while the Patriots fell to the Miami Dolphins to stay in the bottom of the standings for at least a week.
