About last night: Minnesota Vikings 36, Pittsburgh Steelers 28 - This game got way more interesting late than it seemed it would when the Vikings held a 29-0 lead with six minutes left in the third quarter.

Game of the week: Buffalo Bills at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The Bills - who are 3-4 since a Week 5 "statement" win against the Chiefs - desperately need to keep pace with the division-leading Patriots. Tom Brady, meanwhile, won 32 of 35 games against the Bills during his time with the Patriots. The Buccaneers can clinch the NFC South with a win and some help.

Sneaky-good game of the week: Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals - The Cardinals have built the league's best record by winning on the road (7-0 so far this season), but are just 3-2 at State Farm Stadium. The division-rival Rams are two games back in the standings and can't afford to lose a second game to the Cardinals if they harbor any aspirations of winning the NFC West.
