Last-second game-winning Hail Mary, 49ers pile more misery on Cowboys, late drama throughout: NFL Week 8 Sunday review

Week 8 perhaps was one of the most thrilling set of games we’ve seen so far this NFL season, with plenty of contests coming down to the wire.

Week 8 perhaps was one of the most thrilling set of games we’ve seen so far this NFL season, with plenty of contests coming down to the wire. Sunday also saw the Kansas City Chiefs continue their unbeaten start to the season and other Super Bowl contenders continue to roll. It also saw playoff hopefuls slip up against teams they might normally expect to beat. Notably, it was a big day for players in the tight end position on what was ‘National Tight End Day’ around the league. Across all of Sunday’s games, tight ends had 177 catches, the most in NFL history on a single day by the position, per the NFL. They also had 16 touchdowns which was the most ever on ‘National Tight End Day.’ Here are the main storylines from Sunday’s action: Sunday saw the top two picks in this year’s NFL Draft – No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears and No. 2 pick Jayden Daniels of the Washington Commanders – face off against one another with fans being offered an opportunity to see what the future of the league could hold. And although Sunday’s game at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, wasn’t filled with offensive fireworks, there was a thrilling ending befitting of the talent on show.
