Houston Texans took their show across the ocean to Wembley Stadium for a date with the Jacksonville Jaguars. They came away with an easy 26-3 win.

The Baltimore Ravens dealt the New England Patriots their first loss since December of 2018 with a 37-20 win in Sunday Night Football.

The Dallas Cowboys are on the road tonight at the NY Giants on Monday night Football on ESPN at 7:15 pm.

Things changed a little bit on the final AP college football poll before the first CFP poll is released. LSU is No. 1, Alabama is No. 2, Ohio State is 3^rd, Clemson is 4^th, Penn State is 5^th, Georgia moves up to No. 6, Oregon is 7^th, Utah is 8^th, Oklahoma is No. 9 and Florida falls to No. 10. Baylor is at No. 11 and SMU drops to 23^rd. The CFP poll will be released on Tuesday night at 8:00 pm on ESPN.

Florida State fired coach Willie Taggart on Sunday after less than two years. In a statement, Florida State athletic director David Coburn said the university “had no choice but to make a change.”  FSU raised about $20 million in private donations to buy out what was left of Taggart’s contract. The Seminoles went 9-12 under Taggart, who was hired from Oregon prior to last season to replace Jimbo Fisher, who left the school to take over at Texas A&M.
