Former Patriots cornerback Marco Wilson is on to Cincinnati. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have claimed Wilson off of waivers.

After coaching against Patriots quarterback Drake Maye on Sunday, Rams head coach Sean McVay came away impressed. “He looks like a stud,” McVay said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN. “I didn’t do too much work on him coming out [of college]. I do know a lot of people that studied

As currently written (if they’ve even been reduced to writing), the so-called (by me) Brady Broadcast Rules might be more of a favor than a hindrance to Brady. That might change.

Monday night’s game essentially ended after Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Guyton tried to do his best Tony Dorsett impression. And failed. Guyton had no business attempting to run with the ball after recovering a tumble. It was obvious the moment he got the thing in his hands. He was promptly

Safety Terrell Edmunds has played for a couple of teams this season and his quest for a third will take him to Chicago. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Edmunds will work out for the Bears. If he should sign there, he will get a chance to be teammates

That was Brock Osweiler as a free agent in 2016, after he shined in limited action behind Peyton Manning with the 2015 Broncos and became a hot commodity for the desperate Texans to win via sweepstakes. At the time, like Garoppolo, he had just seven career regular-season starts on his

49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was more critical of his play against the Seahawks after Sunday’s loss than head coach Kyle Shanahan was when he discussed McCaffrey’s play on Monday. McCaffrey ran 17 times for 79 yards and caught four passes for 27 yards in the 20-17 49ers loss and

The Cowboys had a promising start to this season and were 3-2 after Week Five, but they’re now on a five-game losing streak, and coach Mike McCarthy acknowledged after Monday night’s loss to the Texans that he’s disappointed with where his team is. “It’s very frustrating. It’s frustrating for everybody.

Rams receiver Puka Nacua made an awesome, diving touchdown reception in New England on Sunday. After he landed, he was slow to get up — and he ended up in the medical tent. He ultimately was fine, but Nacua’s habit of going all out all the time prompted a question

The sky began falling on the Cowboys before Monday night. But the large piece of metal that fell onto the field as officials opened the roof of AT&T Stadium before pregame warmups was a metaphor for the Cowboys’ season. The Cowboys lost again at home, their sixth consecutive including a

Another prime-time game, another key coaching decision potentially changes everything. The Cowboys, down by 10, got a 64-yard field goal from Brandon Aubrey to make it a one-score game with 4:16 to play in the third quarter. A head-slap foul by Texans defensive lineman Derek Barnett forced Dallas coach Mike

Mike McCarthy is a dead-man walking. That seemed like a given before the season when Jerry Jones decided not to extend his head coach’s contract. The Cowboys assuredly will move on from McCarthy, and most of the rest of the coaching staff, after this season. But they will not change

The Cowboys decided to open the roof to AT&T Stadium days before Monday night’s game against the Texans. What they hadn’t factored in was the cold front that blew through Arlington on Monday morning. The area saw wind gusts of 20 mph Monday afternoon and stronger earlier in the day.

The Texans let the Cowboys hang around far longer than they should have, but Derek Barnett and Jalen Pitre finally put them to bed. Barnett beat left tackle Tyler Guyton for a strip-sack of Cooper Rush. Guyton picked up the fumble, and Pitre stripped Guyton of the ball. Barnett picked

The Cowboys didn’t have many weapons before the game started. They have one fewer now. The Cowboys have ruled out tight end Jake Ferguson with a concussion. Ferguson had one catch for 11 yards before departing in the first half. He is their third-leading receiver, behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen

It took the Texans 2:18 to score. That was something. Houston actually scored 16 seconds into the game, on its first play from scrimmage, but left tackle Laremy Tunsil was downfield before the pass from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins that went for a 77-yard touchdown. It didn’t matter in

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

With Giants fans inching toward a potential revolution, management had a simple message. Let them eat cutlets. Tommy DeVito has jumped to the starting spot, leapfrogging Drew Lock on the depth chart. In hindsight, the hint was hiding in plain sight earlier this month, in a strange ESPN.com article that

The worst season of Ravens kicker Justin Tucker’s career continued to unfold against the Steelers on Sunday. Tucker missed field goals of 47 and 50 yards in the first half of Baltimore’s 18-16 loss to their AFC North rivals and his field goal percentage is now 72.7 for the season.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers said he was “disappointed” multiple times during his postgame press conference on Sunday and that’s an apt, if understated, description of the team’s entire season. Sunday’s game ended with Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson running for a go-ahead score with 46 seconds left to play and Rodgers

The Lions have never been to a Super Bowl, and they’ve never been the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl, either. Until now. After Detroit destroyed Jacksonville on Sunday, and Kansas City lost at Buffalo, the Lions became the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl. That had never

For the first 30 minutes of Sunday night’s matchup between the Bengals and Chargers, Los Angeles was in firm control. The Chargers even extended their lead to 27-6 with a 53-yard field goal early in the third quarter. But while Cincinnati tied the game at 27 apiece and had two

The Steelers have counted on kicker Chris Boswell for a long time and he provided another reminder of why he’s a fixture in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Boswell was 6-of-6 on field goals for the second time this season and third time in his career. That accounted for all of the

The Steelers and Ravens played another one-score game in Pittsburgh on Sunday and the Steelers wound up on top. Lamar Jackson hit Zay Flowers for a 16-yard touchdown with 1:06 left to play that cut the Steelers’ lead to 18-16, but the Steelers pass rush forced Jackson into an incompletion

Cooper Kupp has found the end zone and the Rams have tied the game against the Patriots at 7-7. Quarterback Matthew Stafford found Kupp open in the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown, capping a nine-play, 80-yard drive that took 5:05 off the clock. The Rams had gained a first
