The misery of the New York Giants and the shocking loss of the Buffalo Bills. We pick some of the winners and losers from NFL Sunday for Week 10 of the 2025 season…
Winner – Jonathan Taylor
Jonathan Taylor is inevitable. Shane Steichen has a not-so-secret winning formula. If they keep giving the ball to Jonathan Taylor, they’ll probably win the game. Taylor shined on the European stage Sunday when he led the Indianapolis Colts to a 31-25 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin, carrying the ball six times in seven plays and adding the finishing touch with an eight-yard game-winning touchdown to cap a 57-yard drive. With the game on the line and facing the league’s No. 1 ranked pass defense, Steichen turned to his best player. Taylor is an igniter, a preserver, a closer and everything in between.

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor scores a career-long 83-yard touchdown in Berlin.
Without him, the Colts never reached overtime in the first place, relying on the Offensive Player of the Year candidate’s career-long 83-yard touchdown run to turn the game around after 40 minutes of a shutout loss. Taylor had 32 carries for 244 yards, three touchdowns, and 42 yards receiving, becoming the first player to surpass 1,000 rushing yards this season and breaking the Colts’ rushing touchdown record in just Week 10. He gained 165 yards on 11 missed tackles, the most in the NFL this season, according to Next Gen Stats, and had the only game with at least 200 yards after contact since at least 2017 (228 yards). Taylor will rescue a passing offense that has been frustrating all afternoon. MVP, anyone?
Loser – Bills
What season is it now? Who is better? Who wants it most? The door is wide open for the Buffalo Bills, but they are still more than capable of handling a day like this. He didn’t play much in the 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but he could still disrupt the playoff race. The question of what Buffalo would be without Josh Allen comes up from time to time, if anything. No quarterback in the league improves a team as much as the reigning MVP. That’s exactly why he’s the reigning MVP. Allen ran for his life, nabbed an interception in the end zone, James Cook forced a fumble on a day when Buffalo’s No. 1-ranked rushing offense was held to a season-low 87 yards, concerns about Buffalo’s receiving corps resurfaced and Sean McDermott’s defense ran away with the game early. If you include New England’s advantage in their head-to-head record, they suddenly find themselves two games behind the Patriots in the AFC East.

Highlights of the Buffalo Bills vs. Miami Dolphins game from Week 10 of the 2025 NFL season.
Winner – Daniel Hunter
That slot was largely booked by the New York Jets and Will McDonald IV, who recorded four sacks to help Aaron Glenn’s team beat the Cleveland Browns 27-20 in a game of underdogs. If there’s one thing that symbolizes the Jets, it’s that Justin Fields completed just six passes for 54 yards, relying on punts and kickoff returns for touchdowns, and Brees Hall for a 42-yard touchdown and one interception.
Daniel Hunter was nominated instead for inspiring the Houston Texans with 3.5 sacks and four quarterback hits in a 36-29, 19-point fourth-quarter come-from-behind victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hunter was an athletic mutant who, with the support of Will Anderson Jr., was tasked with bringing more misery to Liam Cohen’s camp, which was a big loser to Davis Mills’ offensive team. Hunter’s day included a key sack on Trevor Lawrence for nine points with the Jags trailing 30-29 with 27 seconds left. Houston’s offense is still holding back, but DeMeco Ryans’ defense remains one of the strongest in the league.

Loser – Brian Daboll
If Jonathan Taylor’s dominance is inevitable, so is the New York Giants’ misery. Coach Brian Daboll’s team continues to find ways to drop winnable games, and while there are long-lost sparks of spirit in Big Blue, there’s still darkness that halts the franchise’s progress. They don’t know how to navigate leads, they don’t know how to close out games. This is a serious accusation against the Giants’ coaching staff. Jackson Dart scored his fifth consecutive rushing touchdown, an NFL quarterback record, and the rookie play-caller made dangerous misfires, scattering the ball between Wan’Dale Robinson, Theo Johnson and Darius Slayton, and led the team in rushing yards. Russell Wilson’s field goal drive made it 20-10, but the Giants’ final three drives came up short and Chicago grabbed a 24-20 victory on Caleb Williams’ 17-yard touchdown run. New York fell to 2-8, and Daboll fell to 20-40-1 in 61 regular season games as head coach.

Winner – Treveyon Henderson
Why isn’t Trevellon Henderson playing the lead role every week for the New England Patriots? Only Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniel can answer that question. Henderson rushed for 1,016 yards and 10 touchdowns en route to college championship glory at Ohio State in 2024, when he was selected by the Patriots with the 38th overall pick in the second round of the NFL Draft earlier this year. Since then, he’s had more than 10 carries in just four games this season in a secondary backfield role, but his breakout opportunity came Sunday given the injury to Rhamondre Stephenson. Henderson had a career-best 14 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Patriots to a 28-23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

During the game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Trevellon Henderson asked the coaching staff whether he should score a touchdown or go down.
His first 55-yard touchdown run was the longest run by a Patriots running back since Stevenson’s 64-yard run in November 2023. But it was Henderson’s game-landing burst that stole the show, as the former Buckeye patiently peeled away a pile of bodies and accompanying blockers to explode for a 69-yard touchdown. Henderson was so fast that he even had time to even out the run, asking Vrabel and the rest of the Patriots sideline players during the play if they wanted him to score or take a knee in the final minutes of the game. New England improved to 8-2 this year and may have unleashed a new X-factor.
Loser – Aaron Rodgers
The Pittsburgh Steelers offense played as badly as possible Sunday night. The good news? They definitely can’t play any worse. Aaron Rodgers had the worst performance of his storied career, completing 16-of-31 passes for 161 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions with a 50.6 passer rating and 5.6 quarterback rating as Pittsburgh lost 25-10 to the Los Angeles Chargers. He was sullen in the pocket all night – exemplified when he bizarrely retreated into the end zone before surrendering the safety to nemesis Khalil Mack – he continued to beat receivers all night and was a click or two off all night when it came to decision-making and diagnosing the field. As far as off nights with the Steelers this season go, this was the highlight. It’s a familiar story with Mike Tomlin’s Steelers, whose five defensive sacks and nine QB hits went unrewarded. They turned the ball over three times and converted only two of their 11 third downs. The Steelers fell to 5-4 in first place in the AFC North, but the resurgent Baltimore Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, defeated the Minnesota Vikings 27-19 and are chasing second place in the division with 4-5.
