The Giants' run defense added insult to injury by allowing backup running back Tank Bigsby to run for 104 yards on nine carries, Bigsby having rushed for 23 yards all season before Week 8. By the end of the night, the Eagles had run for 276 yards on the ground.

Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season began in Los Angeles on Thursday night, with quarterback Justin Herbert and the Chargers cruising to a win over the Vikings. Herbert threw three touchdown passes and rushed for 62 yards, while rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II continued his hot start with 77 yards and a touchdown.

Injuries played a factor as well. The Falcons did not have first-round pick Jalon Walker or fourth-round pick Billy Bowman Jr. in Week 8. That left edge rusher James Pearce Jr. and safety Xavier Watts to carry the load for Atlanta's draft class.

As George Pickens and Javonte Williams thrive, time is running out on patience for the defensive side of the ball.

I like to say the NFL always delivers, but this week put that to the ultimate test. Only one game was decided by a single possession, the fewest in a single week since Week 14, 1970. There were nine wins by at least 18 points, tied most ever in a single week according to CBS Sports research.

Following another win, this time in Week 8 over the Tennessee Titans, the Indianapolis Colts remain at the top of the AFC playoff standings. Now 7-1 on the season, along with being the current one seed in the AFC playoff picture, the Colts continue to hold the best record in the NFL.
