The Minnesota Vikings became the last NFL team to lose their unbeaten record as the 2026 season continued with a wild weekend.

There were a number of rare occurrences during week eight while two games were settled in overtime.

The Dallas Cowboys and the Kansas City Chiefs were both beaten after being stunned by late fightbacks while quarterback Joe Burrow was involved in six touchdowns as the Cincinnati Bengals won again.
