Jauan Jennings scores two first-half touchdowns

Ultimately, Jennings finished with seven catches for 90 yards and the two scores. This included a long of 39 yards.

Now, Jennings has a career-high 774 receiving yards and six touchdowns in just 11 games played.

Alvin Kamara sets career high 

Throughout his career, the Saints have used Alvin Kamara as a workhorse running back and receiving threat. That hasn't changed this season, either.

In an ugly win over the Giants, New Orleans went to Kamara on both the ground and through the air. He finished with 17 carries for 44 yards and five catches for 35 yards in the victory. The Saints are now 5-8 on the season.

This led to Kamara reaching a career-high rushing yards for a single season.

Byron Young, Jaylen McCollough help Rams beat Bills

One of the best teams in the league went down on Sunday to the Rams. Los Angeles won in a shootout to beat the now 10-3 Bills.

Helping on defense were a pair of former Vols. Byron Young finished with four tackles including a solo effort.

Undrafted free agent Jaylen McCollough also continued his impressive season. He finished with two tackles including a solo.

Josh Palmer goes off for Chargers

It's been a bit of an injury-riddled season for wide receiver Josh Palmer but he had a great game for the Chargers on Sunday.

In the two-point loss to the Chiefs, Palmer led Los Angeles through the air. He finished with six catches for 78 yards in the game.

This included a long of 38 yards.
