Week 9 of the NFL season is in full swing, and there’s plenty to look forward to after a wild trade deadline that shook up rosters across the league, with 20 players traded at or near the cutoff this past Tuesday.

Here are the top plays from Sunday’s action!

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Early trouble

Packers receiver Romeo Doubs was carted to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury, and things only got worse for Aaron Rodgers & Co.

What started as a potential go-ahead touchdown ended in an ugly interception for GB in the first quarter.

When it rains, it pours

Then, Rodgers was picked off again in the end zone, as the Lions continued to shut out the Packers.

Minnesota Vikings at Washington Commanders

Star power

T.J. Hockenson picked up a clutch first down on his first reception as a Viking, setting up a dazzling Justin Jefferson touchdown on Minnesota’s opening drive.

Los Angeles Chargers at Atlanta Falcons 

Back in action

The Falcons charged downfield on their opening drive, and Cordarrelle Patterson came up big for the home team, powering through the Chargers defense in his first game back after being activated from injured reserve Saturday.

Bolt Up

Austin Ekeler came up with back-to-back second-quarter scores — one rushing and one receiving — to put Los Angeles ahead as the first half winded down.

Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals 

Powering through

The Bengals shut out the Panthers in the first half, thanks to the fancy footwork from Joe Mixon, who punched in three first-half touchdowns for the home team.

Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots 

Denied!

Matthew Judon and the Patriots defense was relentless in the first quarter, pressuring Sam Ehlinger early.

Buffalo Bills at New York Jets 

Power pairing

The Bills‘ dynamic duo of Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs went to work right out of the gate.

On the move

Allen silenced the doubters with a 36-yard touchdown rush ahead of the break to put Buffalo on top ahead of the break.

Miami Dolphins at Chicago Bears 

Too tough!

Raheem Mostert punched one in for the Dolphins early to set the tone of their matchup against the Bears.

Trickery

Justin Fields pulled one over on the Dolphins defense, connecting with Cole Kmet for a score and the lead.

Chaos!

The Dolphins extended their lead over the Bears after this wild blocked punt returned for a touchdown.

Not so fast!

Chicago wasn’t slowing down, however. Fields launched one to Darnell Mooney for a 16-yard score to keep things close.

Las Vegas Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars 

Turning the tables

After getting shut out last week, the Raiders made a statement with a couple of huge first-quarter scores.
