Richard Todd passed for one touchdown and ran for another, and rookie Dave Jacobs kicked three field goals to help the Jets break a three-game losing streak. New York built a 20-3 halftime lead on Todd's three-yard touchdown pass to Jerome Barkum and one-yard scoring run. Jacobs connected on field goals of 27 and 28 yards in the first half, and added a season-long 42-yarder early in the final period.

Steve Bartkowski fired a six-yard scoring pass to Wallace Francis with 21 seconds left to clinch the Falcons' surprise win. Bartkowski's touchdown passes of 11 and 31 yards to William Andrews and Francis, respectively, and Haskell Stanback's one-yard run preceded the Falcons' 51-yard game-winning drive.

Ottis Anderson scored on a six-yard run with 2:53 remaining to lift the Cardinals to their fourth victory of the year. Anderson gained 129 yards on 27 carries and set an NFL rookie rushing record with his eighth 100-yard game. San Francisco's Steve DeBerg passed for 135 yards to bring his season total to a club-record 3,121 yards, surpassing John Brodie's 3,112 yards set in 1965. Carl Allen's interception in the final two minutes preserved the Cardinals' victory.

Chicago capitalized on a blocked punt and five interceptions to blank Tampa Bay and keep their playoff hopes alive. In the first quarter, Bruce Herron blocked a punt and linebacker Lee Kunz returned it 16 yards to set up Walter Payton's one-yard touchdown run. Gary Fencik's second-period interception preceded Mike Phipps' 13-yard touchdown pass to Dave Williams. The Bears were the last team to shut out the Buccaneers, 10-0 on December 4, 1977.
