          Week 8 brought another runway to the tunnel -- and players showed up ready to own it.

          Across the league, veterans and rookies alike mixed razor-sharp tailoring with custom streetwear. There were accessories aplenty, too, as chains, watches, frames and bags grabbed attention before kickoff.

          With the weather tilting colder in a few markets, we saw "leather weather" in full effect last week. This week, the chilly temperatures continued to influence outfits as heavyweight flannels, jackets and beanies matched to team color palettes were present. Elsewhere, clean minimalism set the tone with monochrome sets and elevated athleisure in varying shades of grays, creams -- and even kelly green.

          Bottom line: Week 8's arrivals are a mixture of comfort and creativity. Here are the best of the bunch.

          Monday night heat

          Ahead of "Monday Night Football" against the Washington Commanders, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes rocked a monochromatic look with his signature ski glasses.

          Late afternoon drip

          Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb opted for an all-white fit while arriving to face the Denver Broncos on the road.

          Best of Sunday's early slate

          Autumn's here and player arrivals are leaning into it with more layered looks.

          But for New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins, the brisk air and fallen leaves mean one thing: Halloween. A couple of days before the holiday, Hollins -- rocking his signature barefoot look -- showed up to Gillette Stadium in an inflatable chess-piece costume.

          TNF = Thursday night fits

          Ahead of the Minnesota Vikings' "Thursday Night Football" bout against the Los Angeles Chargers, wide receiver Justin Jefferson turned heads with his bedazzled jacket and red-bottom shoes.
