Chargers 30, Browns 28: Rookie Cade York missed a 54-yard field goal with 11 seconds and Jacob Brissett threw an INT in the end zone earlier as the Browns lost for the third time with a lead in the fourth quarter.

Patriots 29, Lions 0: New England completely dismantled the league's highest-scoring offense to the point the offense could give five goals and not score a TD until almost the fourth quarter. Matthew Judon's strip sack and Kyle Dugger's TD return basically ended the game.
