The Bills had not won in Indianapolis since 1998, losing their last six combined at the old RCA Dome and Lucas Oil Stadium. But Buffalo changed that on Sunday, defeating the Colts 30-20 in a game that really wasn’t that close. While Indianapolis took a 13-10 lead midway through the

The NFL’s fine system is weird. Beyond the bizarrely specific amounts of the punishments. On Sunday, Rams receiver Puka Nacua threw a punch. He was ejected. He then was fined. The amount was only $5,424. How can an infraction that costs so little carry with it the penalty of ejection?

The Rams ruled out starting right tackle Rob Havenstein. Havenstein did not practice this week with an ankle injury that limited him to 58 of 77 snaps last week against Seattle. Coach Sean McVay said Saturday the Rams still are “working through” who will play right tackle. The Rams expect

On Sunday night, Colts defensive lineman Grover Stewart obliterated Vikings offensive lineman Garrett Bradbury before forcing quarterback Sam Darnold to fumble.

Saints wide receiver Chris Olave is set to miss extended time after suffering a concussion in last Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Olave has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Falcons and Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that he is expected to be placed on injured reserve
