Sunday Night Football witnessed three absolute corkers which collided with the beginning of the US Grand Prix. Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time Super Bowl finalists squared up against the surprise package of the season, Tennessee Titans. KC Chiefs received a tanning from the Titans, a win the Tennessee outfit won’t forget for ages.

Sunday Night Football also witnessed Green Bay Packers going up against Washington, where Aaron Rodgers shone again. Third and finally, Baltimore Ravens faced Cincinnati Bengals in a heavyweight clash, which ended spectacularly. The Bengals rewrote history and put down the Ravens, thanks to scintillating performances from Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.

Max Verstappen held off his championship rival, Lewis Hamilton, to take home the gold and extending his championship lead in front of 140,000 screaming fans.
