Before Week 10, it wasn’t looking very good for the Dolphins’ playoff hopes. After Week 10, it’s still not looking great — but it’s looking less bleak. Beating the Rams on Monday was critical, obviously. But three other outcomes have boosted Miami’s shot at the seventh seed. Currently, the Bills,

The 9-0 Chiefs and 8-2 Bills face off in Buffalo on Sunday in one of the marquee games of the season. In fact, it’s one of the marquee games of any NFL season. Sunday’s matchup will be just the fifth time since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger that two teams with

The Rams didn’t get the result they wanted against the Dolphins on Monday night, but they got another standout performance from rookie edge rusher Jared Verse.

The Rams’ offense repeatedly settled for field goals at the ends of long drives in Monday night’s 23-15 loss to the Dolphins, and quarterback Matthew Stafford knows that’s not good enough. “We shot ourselves in the foot a little bit, in that strike zone area, 30-yard line area, and that

The 49ers did something you don’t see every Sunday: They had teammates go at it on the sideline. 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel confronted teammate Jake Moody on the sideline after the kicker missed a third field goal against the Bucs.

John Robinson, former head coach of the Rams and a legendary head coach at USC, has died. He was 89. After coaching the Trojans from 1976 through 1982, Robinson moved to the NFL. He led the Rams from 1983 to 1991. He left as the winningest coach in franchise history,

Monday night’s matchup between the Dolphins and Rams wasn’t particularly pretty from either side. But Miami was able to keep its dwindling playoff hopes alive with a 23-15 victory over the Rams.

After his third diagnosed concussion in five seasons, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa heard the calls for him to retire.

Reid said Smith-Schuster is

Lions kicker and Houston native Jake Bates hit a 58-yard field goal with five minutes left and a 52-yard field goal as time expired to beat the Texans in Houston on Sunday night. He can barely believe how fortunate he was to find himself in that position, and come through.

The Ravens added wide receiver Diontae Johnson and running back Keaton Mitchell to the offensive mix over the last couple of weeks and they have eyes on expanding both of their roles in Week 11 and beyond. Johnson played five snaps last Thursday and caught one pass for six yards

Coming out of the bye week, things remain status quo for the Browns at quarterback.

The Lions should have lost. Despite five interceptions by Jared Goff, they didn’t. Detroit got a 52-yard game-winner from Jake Bates on the final play, delivering an improbable 26-23 victory. The Lions moved to 8-1, while the Texans fell to 6-4. In one of the more entertaining games of the

The Lions looked out of it at halftime, trailing 23-7. They looked out of it after Jared Goff’s two interceptions in the third quarter, too. The Lions, though, are alive and well after another touchdown. Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff to draw Detroit within

The Texans scored on five of their six possessions in the first half, but none more special than a touchdown that made the game 23-7 at halftime. John Metchie, who has battled his way back from leukemia, caught the first TD of his career to cap a six-play, 66-yard drive

During the Jets’ Thursday night win over the Texans in Week 9, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit mentioned on multiple occasions the effort by quarterback Aaron Rodgers to persuade them that the Jets could get hot and make the playoffs. Today, they were ice cold. After a 31-6 loss to
