Seven interceptions and two fumble recoveries helped Pittsburgh turn back Kansas City despite three touchdown passes by Mike Livingston. Three Chiefs' quarterbacks threw 49 passes, a club record, but completed only 16. Glen Edwards, Jack Ham and Jack Lambert each picked off two passes and the Steelers sacked Livingston three times. Joe Gilliam was on target at key stages, completing 14 of 36 for 214 yards and one touchdown. The Chiefs led twice in the early stages but were able to make only 58 yards rushing.

Undefeated New England rolled to its fifth consecutive victory, ruining the home debut of the Jets who were shut out at home for the first time. The Patriots hadn't won in New York since 1965 and were 1-12-1 against Joe Namath, who was able to complete only 7 of 21 passes and was intercepted twice. Sam Cunningham gained 64 yards and scored twice and Mack Herron rushed for 59 and wound up with 173 yards of total offense holding onto his dual leadership in both return categories. John Riggins' 100-yard rushing was some solace to the Jets, who gained only 34 net yards passing.

The Eagles spotted the Giants a 7-0 lead then got their offense in gear to record their fourth straight victory. Roman Gabriel's touchdown passes of four yards to Don Zimmerman and five yards to Harold Carmichael were his first scoring throws of the season. Tom Sullivan scored three times from one yard out. Philadelphia's defense continued its much-improved performance and had permitted the fewest points in the NFL, 41, after five games.

Oakland rallied to win on a fourth quarter pass from Ken Stabler to Bob Moore but rookie Don Woods thrilled the San Diego crowd with his third straight 100-yard plus day to move into second place among AFC rushers with 429 yards. Woods carried 17 times for 118 yards and scored on a seven-yard run in a losing effort. Oakland trailed 10-7 going to the last quarter and Stabler marched the Raiders 80 yards in 14 plays and found Moore in the end zone for the winner. Marv Hubbard with 94 yards and Clarence Davis with 83 yards led the Raiders' 202-yard ground game.
