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.

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

Rich von Biberstein/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Longhorns are a fascinating team for the committee to digest. On one hand, Texas is coming off a hard-fought loss in the SEC, a league ripe with teams ranked inside the top 20. On the other hand, another loss to Georgia complicates

On Thanksgiving, Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams got a 15-yard penalty for throwing the ball in Bears defensive back Tyrique Stevenson’s face on the sideline. But after the NFL’s disciplinary office looked at the play closely, it was Stevenson, not Williams, who was fined. Stevenson got a $19,697 fine, while

Before Thursday night’s game in Detroit, a Lions fan from the group that carried the flag onto the field for the national anthem broke free to taunt Packers players, prompting coach Matt LaFleur to get involved. Eventually, game officials separated the fan from LaFleur and Packers players. “I’ve never been

Not too long ago, it seemed to be a foregone conclusion that: (1) the season would end; (2) Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy’s contract would expire; and (3) the Cowboys would hire someone else. What a difference two straight wins makes. In the days since Jerry Jones called the prospect of

The Vikings will have their rookie kicker back for Week 14. Minnesota has activated Will Reichard and long snapper Andrew DePaola on Saturday, the team announced. Reichard has made 14-of-16 field goals this season. He was sidelined by a right quad injury. The Vikings have waived kicker Parker Romo as

It was no surprise when Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was fined for his hit on Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. It is a surprise that in the melee that followed, only one other player faced any league discipline. The NFL announced today that it has fined Jaguars tight end Evan Engram

The NFL has fined Steelers wide receiver George Pickens a total of $20,462 for twice getting flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on Sunday against the Bengals. In the first quarter, Pickens was called for taunting. That got him a $10,231 fine. In the third quarter, Pickens was called for making a

On Friday, 49ers G.M. John Lynch described talk of a potential trade that would send coach Kyle Shanahan to a team like the Bears “rather comical.” Frankly, it’s rather comical that anyone would think Lynch’s opinion on the subject matters. Lynch didn’t hire Shanahan. Shanahan hired Lynch. If Shanahan goes,

They say there’s a fine line between courage and insanity. For the Lions, there’s no such line. They proved it on Thursday night, going for it on fourth down five different times. They converted four of them, but the one that failed was a Barry Switzer-style move. Fourth and one

Monday night’s loss by the Browns carried with it an incidental benefit for the Steelers. The loss guaranteed that the Steelers won’t finish in last place in the AFC North. This means that the Steelers will continue a streak of not finishing in last place in their division that dates

With Denver, Indianapolis and Baltimore all off in Week 14, Miami doesn’t have many rooting interests to care about.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is on pace to break the NFL’s single-season rushing record. And he will benefit from facing a soft schedule of run defenses the rest of the way. Barkley has 1,499 rushing yards through 12 games this season. That puts him on pace to gain 2,124

Colorado coach Deion Sanders’ quarterback and son, Shedeur Sanders, is the current betting favorite to be the first overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. If the season ended today, the Raiders would have the No. 2 pick. Deion thinks the Raiders would be a good spot for his son.

Raiders quarterback Aidan O’Connell returned to a full practice Friday and has no designation for Sunday. O’Connell did not participate in Thursday’s session with an illness.

It’s still unclear whether or not Mecole Hardman will be able to play in the Chiefs’ matchup against the Chargers this weekend.
