Week 9 NFL results and recap: Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens win again

Not only did the Cowboys lose to the Atlanta Falcons, they also lost quarterback Dak Prescott to injury and, at 3-5 after eight games, suffered more defeats than in any of the last three full seasons.

After impressing the Ravens last week, the Cleveland Browns were brought back down to earth by the Los Angeles Chargers as Joe Burrow threw five touchdown passes to give the Cincinnati Bengals their first home win of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders bestow.

The Minnesota Vikings responded to back-to-back losses with a 21-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, while Bryce Young helped Carolina to its first home win in 322 days, but that may not be enough to keep his job for the Panthers' next trip to Germany to keep week.

The Panthers became the first team in the Super Bowl era to win a game despite gaining fewer than 250 yards, allowing more than 425 yards and not committing a turnover, as the New Orleans Saints somehow managed to do so despite their statistical dominance lose.

Saints starter Derek Carr also set an unwanted record by becoming the first quarterback to lose to 31 different teams.

The improving Arizona Cardinals are a team to watch as they went 29-9 against the Chicago Bears, who had not allowed more than 21 points in their last 13 games.
