Carolina Panthers defensive back Myles Hartsfield had his second straight game with seven tackles, but the Panthers lost in overtime 37-34 to their division rival the Atlanta Falcons.
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram caught four passes for 55 yards and his first touchdown of the season, but the Jaguars ultimately lost to the Denver Broncos 21-17.
Denver Broncos defensive lineman D.J. Jones contributed three tackles as he did last week, but unlike last week, the Broncos won this week, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 21-17.
