Saints’ Stunning Upset Crushes 28 Entries
On Sunday, 28 contestants saw their Week 14 Circa Survivor dreams shatter as Tyler Shough led the Saints to a shocking victory over Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers. The 8.5-point road underdogs, with just two wins entering the NFC South clash, dropped Tampa Bay to 1-4 over their last five games. Shough’s two touchdown runs proved decisive in the 24-20 triumph. Relive the moment.
Titans’ Upset Adds to the Chaos
The Week 14 bloodbath continued as five contestants who backed Shedeur Sanders and the Browns fell to the one-win Titans. Tennessee, 5-point road underdogs, secured their first victory since Week 5 with a 31-29 win, fueled by Tony Pollard’s 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns. See the highlights.
Eagles’ Turnovers Seal One Entrant’s Fate
Monday night’s overtime thriller saw the Eagles fall 22-19 to the Chargers, eliminating one entrant who faded Justin Herbert and the ‘Bolts. Jalen Hurts’ five turnovers (four interceptions, one fumble) proved costly, marking a mild upset in the Week 14 Circa Survivor contest. Watch the overtime.
