Veteran d-man has spent all of his season in the American League.

We’ve been pointing out all season that the Eagles’ ground game runs more effectively when someone other than DeMarco Murray is getting the ball, and on Sunday Chip Kelly finally figured that out. Murray, the running back who got a five-year, $40 million contract this offseason, was on the field for a season-low 14 offensive…

Koufos had no chance against Thunder star

Can the Eagles win for a third-straight season at Goodison? Watch live, 3 p.m. ET on NBCSN.

Given their 4-8 record and the front-office flux that saw the team president re-assigned this weekend, it’s hard to look at many parts of the 49ers and think of a bright and promising future. So coach-for-now Jim Tomsula told quarterback-for-now Blaine Gabbert to just appreciate the present. “Enjoy this,” Tomsula told Gabbert, via Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com.…

Several elite prospects made the list.

The Chargers have dealt with many injuries this season, but few of them have looked as scary at the moment they happened than the one suffered by wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Sunday. Inman was blasted in the head by Broncos safety David Bruton after making a catch in the first quarter of the game…

Suns forward kept switching sides of lane on free throw

The Buccaneers were on their last legs late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Down 19-16 with under three minutes to play, Tampa faced a 3rd-and-19 and their plans to throw the ball for as many of those yards as they could gain went out the window when the Falcons pass…

The Jets were able to slow the Giants down sufficiently, and they did it without one of their best players for a quarter. According to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson was benched for the first quarter because he was late for a meeting. Jets coach Todd Bowles would say only that it was “a…

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had good moments early in Sunday’s game against the Eagles, throwing two touchdown passes in the first half, and he was good late while bringing the Patriots back within a touchdown. The third quarter wasn’t so hot, however. Brady threw a pair of interceptions at or in the end zone, one…

City hope Vieira flourishes in MLS and then returns to take charge at the Etihad.

The Colts ended Sunday night’s game with Charlie Whitehurst piloting their offense and Matt Hasselbeck said after the 45-10 loss to the Steelers that he’s not sure if he’ll be well enough to play against the Jaguars in Week 14. Hasselbeck left the game with shoulder and neck injuries and said after the game that…

The music will stop again on the Browns’ game of musical quarterbacks today. Browns coach Mike Pettine said after Sunday’s 37-3 loss to the Bengals that he’ll decide after watching the tape whether to keep Austin Davis in the starting lineup or go back to Johnny Manziel. “We’ll make that decision [Monday],” Pettine said. “Get…

The man can dish the rock.

QB Tyrod Taylor delivered the performance the Bills needed on Sunday. It might have been ugly, but it was still a win for the Dolphins. Special teams play was a nightmare for the Patriots against the Eagles. Jets WR Brandon Marshall told QB Ryan Fitzpatrick “the football gods” would make Giants K Josh Brown miss…

Former United manager seems to be mellowing in his old age...

Monday’s collection of links.

Golden State is 22-0 and I'm running out of superlatives.

The Panthers put up huge offensive numbers yesterday, partly because of wide receiver Ted Ginn. Of course, they’d have also been bigger if not for Ted Ginn. The former first-round pick have five catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns in the undefeated Panthers’ dramatic win over the Saints, but he also dropped what would have…

After Sunday’s blowout loss to the Seahawks, Vikings running back Adrian Peterson said that the team was outplayed and outcoached by the visitors from Seattle. Coach Mike Zimmer sent a pretty similar message during a postgame press conference that didn’t need many words for him to express how he was feeling. Zimmer said the only…

Recently, it was suggested that Chargers G.M. Tom Telesco is safe. We had no idea how safe he was. Telesco, as it turned out, received a contract extension before the season started. How does coach Mike McCoy, hired in the same cycle, feel about that? “I am happy for Tom [Telesco] but I was not offered…

Giants quarterback Eli Manning hasn’t missed a game since being installed as a starter halfway through his rookie season and a postgame trip to the X-ray room on Sunday won’t lead to the end of that long run as the man in charge of the offense. Manning was spotted heading in for the test after…

You know about the triple-double in basketball. But do you know about the double-triple in football? Probably not, because I just made it up. In basketball, a triple-double is when a player records double digits in three different statistical categories, like 20 points, 15 rebounds and 12 assists. So let’s start a new statistic in…

There were Texans defenders who had worse days — namely rookie cornerback Kevin Johnson who kept getting torched for touchdown passes. But celebrated defensive end J.J. Watt failed to have his usual impact on the stat sheet, or the Bills, in a 30-21 loss. Watt had one sack negated by a penalty, leaving him with…
