NFL Week 8 top viral moments: Cowboys, A.J. Brown, Will Levis, Halloween costumes draw buzz

Updated Oct. 29, 2023 10:43 p.m. ET

It's Halloween weekend in the NFL, and several players are getting into the spooky spirit with some epic costumes!

On the field, the Eagles pulled away late and banished some ghosts to beat the Commanders in Maryland, Kirk Cousins led the Vikings to a win against the Packers in Lambeau Field but likely suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the process, while the Cowboys rolled over the Rams in Dallas and the Jets pulled out an overtime victory over the Giants in a battle of New York — and a star may have been born in the TItans' Oilers throwback jerseys as Will Levis shone in his NFL debut.

The Seahawks revealed their incredible 1990s-themed throwback jerseys for the first time — then pulled off a late comeback against the Browns and a reportedly under-the-weather Patrick Mahomes struggled as the Broncos beat the Chiefs for the first time since 2015, while Joe Burrow and the Bengals stunned the 49ers on the road.

Follow along below for all the moments that have the internet buzzing on this spooky NFL Sunday!
