The 49ers are dealing with yet another injury to a running back, which could be significant as the team gets ready to play the Rams on Thursday night. Isaac Guerendo had to exit Sunday’s win over the Bears with a foot injury. While the club called him questionable to return,

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was injured on a hard hit in the second quarter. Herbert was rolling to his left when he jumped in the air to throw a deep pass to Quentin Johnston. His left leg was slammed into by Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton while Herbert was airborne. Herbert

The Bills had a valiant comeback effort in Sunday’s eventual loss to the Rams, but they made a critical error on the last play of the game. When Los Angeles punted to end the game on fourth-and-7 from the Buffalo 42, the Bills did not have 11 players on the

Justin Herbert is fine and so are the Chargers. The quarterback, who was hit in the leg and missed a play late in the first half, jogged back onto the field for the second half. He then led the Chargers on a 13-play, 79-yard drive to open the second half.

The Chiefs did it again: They survived another close call, beating the Chargers 19-17 on Sunday Night Football. The Chiefs moved to 12-1 and clinched the AFC West for a ninth consecutive time, while the Chargers fell to 8-5. It was another one-score win for the Chiefs, extending their NFL

Week 14 saw one more team clinch a playoff spot (the Eagles), and multiple others were officially eliminated. Already, six teams in the AFC have had the postseason door slam in their faces. That leaves 10 teams scrambling for seven spots. And it’s actually eight jockeying for five, since the

The Chargers have flipped the switch. Unable to do anything in the first half, and trailing 13-0 at halftime, the Chargers have scored back-to-back touchdowns to start the second half. They went 79 yards on 13 plays after taking the second half kickoff and then 74 yards in only four

It took 29 minutes and 13 minutes before Sunday Night Football saw its first touchdown. Patrick Mahomes completed a 9-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins at the end of the second quarter to give the Chiefs a 13-0 halftime lead. The Chargers will have to find some offense in the locker

The Steelers made wide receiver George Pickens inactive on Sunday because of a hamstring injury, but that didn’t get in the way of a victory. Pickens is their leading receiver, but Mike Williams, Van Jefferson, Scotty Miller, and Calvin Austin all had catches to help the team pick up a

Someone (hand raising nervously) lit the fuse this week on the conversation about a potential trade of 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan to the Bears. After Sunday’s 38-13 thrashing of the Bears, Shanahan was asked about his commitment to his current employer. “I know I don’t want to be any place

The Chargers will not have their leading receiver when they play the Chiefs on Sunday night. Ladd McConkey is officially inactive for the contest. He was listed as questionable with knee and shoulder injuries after he was limited in practice all week. McConkey leads Los Angeles with 58 catches and

The Rams have once again gotten off to a good start in a half against the Bills on Sunday, this time forcing three-and-out and scoring a touchdown off a long drive. Kyren Williams’ second rushing touchdown of the game has given Los Angeles a 31-14 lead with 8:26 left in

The Bills and Rams put together an entertaining first two quarters on Sunday, with Los Angeles taking a 24-14 lead into halftime. Los Angeles used a few long drives to get in the end zone but also blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown to help build the

The Rams have gotten back in the end zone with a big special teams play. But it didn’t take Buffalo long to respond. Los Angeles blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown, but Ty Johnson’s 41-yard touchdown on a screen pass made the score 17-14, Rams, with 10:23

While the win might be huge for confidence within the locker room, it does hurt the Jags’ draft stock a bit. The Jags dropped down to the No. 5 overall pick and away from the Raiders and Giants. All three of those teams entered Week 14 with two wins. Doug

Oddsmakers made the Eagles heavy favorites at home against the Panthers on Sunday, but things wound up being much tighter than expected. The Panthers had the ball on the Eagles’ 32-yard-line in the final minute when quarterback Bryce Young floated a pass to wide receiver Xavier Legette near the end

Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell was injured with what appears a significant injury with 1:23 remaining in the third quarter. Bucs defensive lineman Calijah Kancey shoved O’Connell in the back as O’Connell was running and after the quarterback had released the football. O’Connell stayed down after the 8-yard completion to Jakobi

Justin Jefferson’s touchdown drought is officially over. The Vikings wideout caught a 12-yard scoring strike late in the second quarter and Minnesota has a 14-10 lead at halftime. Though Jefferson has been plenty productive all year, he had not caught a touchdown since Minnesota’s Oct. 20 loss to Detroit. Jefferson’s

The Jets are trying to spoil any remaining playoff hopes the Dolphins might have and that bid is off to a good start. Rookie running back Isaiah Davis sprinted 17 yards for a touchdown with 11:56 left in the first half and his second NFL touchdown staked the Jets to

The Buccaneers took the opening kickoff and marched right down the field, going 85 yards in 12 plays. They faced a fourth-and-1 at the Las Vegas 37, and Rachaad White ran for 7 yards. The Bucs got into the red zone on Bucky Irving’s 15-yard catch-and-run, and Jalen McMillan caught

History is repeating itself at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. A plane towing a banner reading “Mr. Mara enough — Pls fix this dumpster fire” was seen circling the stadium ahead of Sunday afternoon’s game against the Saints. It’s a pointed message for team owner John Mara, who said earlier this

When the Falcons make their official entrance to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, they’ll be led by the quarterback who led the Vikings’ offense for six straight seasons. Some Vikings fans might boo Cousins. They shouldn’t. Cousins wanted to stay. He made a business decision that ultimately was a no-brainer.

Every week we bring you all the inactives from the 1 p.m. ET games in one post, constantly updated with the latest information. A report on Sunday morning indicated that wide receiver George Pickens would play for the Steelers against the Browns on Sunday afternoon, but things turned out differently.

It technically counts as box-checking news that the Vikings and quarterback Sam Darnold haven’t discussed a long-term deal. But why would they? Darnold was signed to a one-year, $10 million contract as a placeholder. J.J. McCarthy was drafted to be the long-term starter. The job fell to Darnold only because

With Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins struggling, it’s no surprise that the team is putting the word out that he’s not in danger of being benched this year. Anything else wouldn’t help Cousins dig out of a three-game slump and re-ignite the team’s push for the NFC South crown. Focusing on

Running back Bucky Irving has become a key piece of the Buccaneers offense during his rookie season and he’s set to continue having an impact on their efforts on Sunday. Irving’s availability was in some doubt after he was listed as questionable to play against the Raiders, but multiple reports
