It turned into a brutal night for the Manning brothers in the NFL as Eli's New York Giants were beaten by a last-gasp 54-yard field goal which kept the New England Patriots unbeaten, while Peyton suffered the indignity of being benched on the night he became the NFL's all-time leading passer.
Peyton Manning passed Brett Favre’s record of 71,838 passing yards with a four-yard toss to running back Ronnie Hillman but threw three interceptions in the first half to leave his Denver Broncos trailing 19-0 to the Kansas City Chiefs at half-time.
When Manning threw his fourth interception early in the third quarter, he was pulled in favour of back-up Brock Osweiler, who could not prevent a 29-13 loss.
Manning, who was just five-of-20 for 35 yards in the game, now has 17 interceptions on the season with only nine touchdowns.
Despite the loss, the Broncos remain comfortably top of the AFC West at 7-2, with the second-placed Oakland Raiders dropping to 4-5 with a 30-14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
There was drama in New York as Stephen Gostkowski split the uprights from 54 yards with one second left as the Patriots rallied to beat the Giants 27-26 and move to 9-0.
Josh Brown’s field goal restored New York’s lead with 1:47 remaining, but Tom Brady drove the Patriots 44 yards downfield to set up his kicker.
A five-yard pass from Eli Manning to Odell Beckham Jr on New York’s final drive was originally called a touchdown but then overturned on review as incomplete, and New York had to settle for a field goal which would ultimately cost them the game.

The Vikings beat Oakland behind 203 yards and a touchdown from Adrian Peterson. Cordarrelle Patterson returned a kick 97 yards for a score, and Peterson’s 80-yard run to the house in the fourth quarter settled it.
That moves the Vikings to 7-2, top of the NFC North after the Detroit Lions beat the out-of-sorts Green Bay Packers 18-16 to claim only their second win of the NFL season.
After a 3-3 first half, tight end Brandon Pettigrew’s touchdown put the Lions 9-3 up going into what would prove a dramatic fourth quarter.
Matt Prater’s field goal extended the Lions’ lead before Green Bay’s Richard Rodgers and Detroit’s Lance Moore traded touchdowns.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers found Justin Perillo for another score but the attempted two-point conversion to Davante Adams was broken up by Crezdon Butler. Damarious Randall recovered an onside kick but Mason Crosby’s 52-yard field goal attempt fell short.
It was Green Bay’s third successive defeat, having won their first six games of the season, and was the Lions’ first win in Wisconsin in 24 attempts.
The Chicago Bears sit third at 4-5 after beating the St Louis Rams 37-13 as rookie Jeremy Langord scored a pair of touchdowns.
Ben Roethlisberger was forced into an early return from injury to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 30-9 win over AFC North rivals the Cleveland Browns.
The quarterback suffered a sprained foot last week and suited up only as an emergency back-up - only to be called on during the first quarter after an ankle injury to Landry Jones.
He showed no ill effects, throwing for 379 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while his favourite target Antonio Brown had 10 catches for 139 yards and two touchdowns, the second rounded off by a somersault into the end zone.
Pittsburgh are a clear second to divisional leaders the Cincinnati Bengals after the Baltimore Ravens went down 22-20 to the Jacksonville Jaguars on rookie Jason Myers’ late field goal.
The Carolina Panthers extended their perfect record to 9-0 with a 27-10 win over the Tennessee Titans. Cam Newton threw for one touchdown and ran for another.
The Washington Redskins are second in the NFC East after they romped to a 47-14 win over the New Orleans Saints - Kirk Cousins throwing for four scores - and the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys both lost.
The Miami Dolphins came from 16-3 down to beat the Eagles 20-19, Jarvis Landry scoring the decisive touchdown from Ryan Tannehill’s tipped pass, while Jameis Winston’s touchdown run led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 10-6 win over Dallas - who have lost seven straight games without injured QB Tony Romo.
The Arizona Cardinals emerged from a wild fourth quarter with a 39-32 victory over the Seattle Seahawks which moved them three games clear in the NFC West.
The Cardinals had led 19-0 at one stage, 22-7 at half-time, but saw the Seahawks turn two turnovers into touchdowns early in the fourth quarter to snatch a 29-25 lead. Carson Palmer responded with an 83-yard drive down field, capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Gresham, and after Seattle had been held, Andre Ellington’s 48-yard touchdown run with 1:58 left sealed the win.
Palmer finished with 363 yards and three touchdowns.

Haircare resolutions 2021
From Beirut and Amman to London and now Dubai, hairstylist George Massoud has seen the same mistakes made by customers all over the world. In the chair or at-home hair care, here are the resolutions he wishes his customers would make for the year ahead.
1. 'I will seek consultation from professionals'
You may know what you want, but are you sure it’s going to suit you? Haircare professionals can tell you what will work best with your skin tone, hair texture and lifestyle.
2. 'I will tell my hairdresser when I’m not happy'
Massoud says it’s better to offer constructive criticism to work on in the future. Your hairdresser will learn, and you may discover how to communicate exactly what you want more effectively the next time.
3. ‘I will treat my hair better out of the chair’
Damage control is a big part of most hairstylists’ work right now, but it can be avoided. Steer clear of over-colouring at home, try and pursue one hair brand at a time and never, ever use a straightener on still drying hair, pleads Massoud.

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'
Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.
Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines:
Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.
Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.
Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.
Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.
Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

The Energy Research Centre
Founded 50 years ago as a nuclear research institute, scientists at the centre believed nuclear would be the “solution for everything”.
Although they still do, they discovered in 1955 that the Netherlands had a lot of natural gas. “We still had the idea that, by 2000, it would all be nuclear,” said Harm Jeeninga, director of business and programme development at the centre.
"In the 1990s, we found out about global warming so we focused on energy savings and tackling the greenhouse gas effect.”
The energy centre’s research focuses on biomass, energy efficiency, the environment, wind and solar, as well as energy engineering and socio-economic research.
