NFL Week 10 grades: Chiefs only get a ‘C+’ after miraculous win; Cowboys embarrassing loss leads to an ‘F’

Welcome to the Week 10 grades!

If you love drama, then this might go down as your favorite week of the season. Through the 4 p.m. ET window, there have been a total of 12 games played so far in Week 10 and seven of them have been decided by five points or less. 

The drama on Sunday started in Germany with the Panthers pulling off an overtime win against the Giants. Kansas City then added to the drama by pulling off one of the most improbable wins of the season by any team. The Chiefs blocked a 35-yard field goal attempt by the Broncos on the final play of the game to keep their undefeated season alive with a 16-14 win.

If you’re wondering how rare it is to win on a blocked field goal from that close: It was the 108th potential game-tying/go-ahead field goal attempt of 35 yards or shorter in the final five seconds of the fourth quarter since 2000 and it was the only one that got blocked. 

The drama continued into Sunday night when the Lions pulled off a stunning comeback from 16 points down to beat the Texans on a last-second field goal in a game where Jared Goff threw five interceptions. 

Let’s get to the Week 10 grades, starting with the drama in Germany.
