Rick Upchurch returned five punts for a team-record 167 yards, including an 87-yard touchdown run to spark the Broncos to a decisive 21-7 win. Denver's "Orange Crush" defense bottled up the Steelers almost the entire game, sacking Terry Bradshaw six times and not permitting the Steelers beyond midfield more than three times. The Broncos raced to a 21-0 halftime edge on the strength of rookie Rob Lytle's one-yard touchdown run, Upchurch's punt return, and Craig Morton's 20-yard scoring pass to Haven Moses. The Steelers marched 74 yards in eight plays to score their only touchdown with four minutes left in the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs scored the first two times they had the ball and went on to defeat the Green Bay Packers, giving Tom Bettis a successful debut as head coach. Jan Stenerud's 23-yard field goal and Mike Livingston's three-yard TD pass to Henry Marshall gave the Chiefs an early 10-0 lead. A Chester Marcol field goal of 31 yards closed the gap to 10-3 after three quarters. After Ed Podolak scored from the 1, the Packers used a bit of trickery to spring Terdell Middleton loose on an 85-yard touchdown run on the ensuing kickoff. The Chiefs' final score came on a Jan Stenerud field goal of 22 yards.

Rafael Septien kicked a first-quarter field goal and Haden threw touchdown passes to Harold Jackson and Lawrence McCutcheon as the Rams jumped out to a 17-0 first-half lead.

Drew Pearson caught three long passes, each setting up a score, and Jay Saldi recovered a fumble for a TD as the Cowboys beat the Giants and remained undefeated. Dallas scored first as Saldi picked up a fumbled punt and ran eight yards into the end zone. In the second quarter, the Giants got on the board when Joe Danelo kicked a 51-yard field goal, but a Roger Staubach-to-Billy Joe DuPree TD pass made the halftime score 14-3. Each team scored once in the third period as Tony Dorsett and Bobby Hammond each cashed in on one-yard runs. A 35-yard field goal by Efren Herrera stretched the Cowboys' winning margin to 14 points.

Bob Griese threw touchdown passes of 20 and 24 yards to Duriel Harris to give the 6-2 Dolphins a 14-10 win. Marty Domres, who took over for the injured Richard Todd in the second quarter, passed 16 yards to Jerome Barkum with 50 seconds remaining to pull the Jets within four points. The Jets missed another excellent opportunity eight minutes earlier when they drove to Miami's 1 yard line but couldn't score.

Ken Stabler threw three touchdown passes and Clarence Davis rushed for 100 yards as the Raiders stopped the Seahawks 44-7 to remain in a first place tie with Denver in the AFC West. Oakland scored seven of the first eight times it had the ball, calling on 36-year-old Errol Mann for field goals of 35, 39 and 37 yards on three drives that stalled. Willie Brown, a 15-year veteran, spearheaded the defense with two pass interceptions, one of which set up a two-yard touchdown run by Davis.

Quarterback Ron Jaworski and wide receiver Harold Carmichael accounted for all of Philadelphia's scoring as the Eagles rolled past the Saints for their third victory of the season. After a scoreless first period, Jaworski ran one yard for a score, then passed 11 yards to Carmichael to make it 14-0 at the half. They accounted for two more scores when Jaworski hit Carmichael on a four-yard pass and Jaworski ran two yards for the final score. A Bobby Douglass-to-Henry Childs pass play accounted for the Saints' tally.
