Quentin Johnston moved the ball for Chargers — 8 catches, 89 yards, 1 TD. 4 in the league in passing yards, at 78 overall. Malik Willis is not supposed to be doing this.

Marcus Reyes: "Burrow threw 4 interceptions and Cincinnati still won by 3—that's what happens when you have 111 rushing yards and a defense that doesn't fold. Miami had no answer on the ground and paid for it." Riley Parker: "Miami threw it 35 times and ran it 7—that's not a game plan, that's panic—and Malik Willis still nearly stole one from a 10-3 team that won't stop winning despite doing everything wrong."

Cincinnati held on 42-39 in a game that swung on brass: Malik Willis threw for 413 yards and 5 touchdowns with Deion Burks catching 3 of them for 189 yards, a performance that will be retold when people talk about what could have been in Miami, but Joe Burrow's 4 interceptions and the Bengals' 111 rushing yards proved too much ballast for the Phins to carry, even as they ran circles around Cincinnati through the air. The Dolphins managed only 33 yards on the ground and couldn't sustain what their passing game built; the Bengals, careless with the football, won anyway because football is sometimes just about staying on your feet longer than the other side.

Jets were never troubled, putting Dolphins away 45-3. Geno Smith threw for Jets — 20/29, 304 yards, 3 TD. Malik Willis was steady for Dolphins — 22/35, 241 yards, 1 INT — in a losing effort. That is 3 straight games over 100 for Caleb Douglas. Total yards: Jets 414, Dolphins 287.
