Running back Samaje Perine hasn’t been a member of the Chiefs for very long, but he’s been around long enough to know that you can’t take your eyes off the ball when it is in tight end Travis Kelce’s hands. One of the highlights of Monday night’s 26-13 Chiefs win

Saints quarterback Derek Carr left Monday night’s loss early with an oblique injury and said afterward that he wanted to keep playing but physically couldn’t throw a football. “Not good, but we’ll get an MRI and all that tomorrow and figure it out,” Carr said when asked how he was

The Seahawks lost cornerback Tariq Woolen (ankle) and outside linebacker Derick Hall (foot) during Sunday’s game.

The Seahawks already

The Chiefs were on the doorstop of icing Monday Night Football when JuJu Smith-Schuster bobbled a sure touchdown. Saints defensive tackle Khalen Saunders, a former Chief, picked it out of the air in the end zone and raced 37 yards the other way. Instead of a 23-7 lead, the Chiefs

Chiefs rookie receiver Xavier Worthy has as many rushing touchdowns as he does receiving touchdowns. After the Saints cut the Chiefs’ lead to 16-13, Kansas City answered with a five-play, 68-yard drive. It took only 2:20 for the Chiefs to increase their lead to 23-13. Worthy’s 3-yard touchdown run came

It looks like the Texans will have to go without wide receiver Nico Collins in Week Six. Collins left Sunday’s win over the Bills with a hamstring injury and he was initially called day-to-day in terms of when he’d be able to play again. On Monday, though, head coach DeMeco

Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be on injured reserve for at least two more weeks and the process of getting back on the field will continue this week.

Though the Browns are 1-4 after another disastrous offensive performance in Sunday’s loss to Washington, head coach Kevin Stefanski maintains the team is sticking with Deshaun Watson as its starting quarterback.

Never before in NFL history had two 100-yard defensive touchdowns been scored in the same week. Until Sunday, when two were scored just minutes apart.

The Cowboys had the 28th overall pick in 2017 and were in need of a pass rusher. They passed on T.J. Watt to select Taco Charlton. Charlton played only 27 games in his two seasons with the Cowboys and 60 in his six-year career. Watt just recorded his 100th career

The Cowboys dominated the Steelers statistically, but Dallas kept shooting itself in the cleat. It took a comeback for the Cowboys to leave Pittsburgh with a win. Jalen Tolbert caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Dak Prescott on fourth down with 20 seconds remaining to give the Cowboys a 20-17

The Steelers now are as thin as the Cowboys at edge rusher. They began the night without Alex Highsmith, who is inactive with a groin injury. They lost Nick Herbig with a hamstring injury in the third quarter. Now, they have lost DeMarvin Leal, who is doubtful to return with

The Cowboys remain 0-for-3 in the red zone, but they have regained the lead with their first touchdown of the night. Dak Prescott threw a 22-yard strike to running back Rico Dowdle to give the Cowboys a 13-10 lead with 13:51 remaining. It completed a 16-play, 90-yard drive. The Cowboys

The injuries are piling up for the Cowboys. They lost their second-round pick, Marshawn Kneeland, on their first defensive series.

Despite 392 yards and five touchdown passes from quarterback Joe Burrow, the Bengals lost to the Ravens 41-38 in overtime. Cincinnati is now 1-4, with the team’s only victory coming over the Panthers last week. That’s not a recipe for a successful season, let alone a championship year — which

Tank Bigsby recorded career highs in receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns on Sunday.

Bigsby’s been on the fantasy football radar

The Panthers pulled Andy Dalton during Sunday’s loss to the Bears, but they aren’t thinking about going back to Bryce Young as their starting quarterback. Head coach Dave Canales said after the game that Dalton will start against the Falcons next week. Young was 4-of-7 for 58 yards after relieving

The Raiders made a quarterback change during Sunday’s loss to the Broncos and head coach Antonio Pierce declined to say during his postgame press conference whether it will be a lasting one. Gardner Minshew started for the fifth straight week, but was pulled in the third quarter after throwing his

The worst trade-and-sign of the salary cap era isn’t getting any better. The Browns still aren’t getting a return from quarterback Deshaun Watson, whose best days keep fading deeper and deeper into the rearview mirror. What will they do? If he didn’t have two more years of fully-guaranteed pay (at
