A moment of high drama arrived on Sunday afternoon in Nashville, when Titans coach Mike Vrabel sent his placekicking unit onto the field for what would have been a possible game-tying field goal late in overtime. The Titans then called time out, and Vrabel seemingly changed his mind. Only he didn’t change his mind. Vrabel [more]

The Raiders no longer have a streak. And neither do the Browns. Oakland survived a ridiculous back-and-forth game, and put it away in the 68th minute on Matt McCrane‘s 29-yard field goal for a 45-42 overtime win. The win stopped their three-game losing skid to open the second Jon Gruden era, though it was far [more]

Aric Almirola advanced in the playoffs for the first time after being involved in three incidents Sunday in Charlotte.

The Packers won on Sunday and that’s enough for quarterback Aaron Rodgers to feel “excited to go home and have a scotch or two.” The 22-0 victory over the Bills isn’t one that’s going to make Rodgers feel content about the team’s offense, however. The Packers picked up 423 yards in the game, but the [more]

Jimmie Johnson: 'It’s just one of those split-second decisions to race for the win ... and it bit me.'

Seahawks safety Earl Thomas has a fractured lower leg, coach Pete Carroll announced after the game. “It breaks my heart,” Carroll said, via Gregg Bell of The News Tribune. The non-contact injury occurred on Josh Rosen‘s 22-yard touchdown pass to Chad Williams with 8:59 remaining. Thomas was running to try to get to Williams when [more]

These two needed more time to settle this one. The Raiders and Browns are headed to overtime tied 42-42, in a game of wild swings in either direction. The Raiders appeared to be cooked, before a touchdown and a two-point conversion with 30 seconds left in the game. Derek Carr hit Jared Cook for the [more]

Chargers running back Melvin Gordon had a big game today, and a banged-up 49ers team couldn’t keep up. Gordon gained 104 yards on 15 carries, and added 55 yards on seven catches, as the Chargers beat the 49ers 29-27. The 49ers were playing without injured starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but C.J. Beathard, making his first [more]

Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert is no stranger to serious injuries, so he had some experience to fall back on when he suffered another one on Sunday. The team has not made anything official, but the first word on the injury was that Eifert broke his ankle in the win over the Falcons and will [more]

The 35-year-old bagged a powerful free-kick but ended up sent off before the final whistle.

Cowboys receiver Cole Beasley wasn’t blaming his quarterback. He is blaming the media. Beasley said last week that the receivers are “getting open. That’s all we can do. If you watch the tape, that’s all you’ve got to do. A lot of people aren’t watching the tape. They’re just assuming. That’s fine.” Beasley said it [more]

Drew Brees didn’t set any records this week, but the Saints didn’t need him to light up the scoreboard to beat the Giants in New Jersey. Alvin Kamara scored three touchdowns in the second half, including a 49-yarder just before the two-minute warning that answered a Giants touchdown and pushed the New Orleans lead to [more]

Tatum is picking up right where he left off.

Sebastian Janikowski missed field goals of 38 and 52 yards in the first half, but when it mattered most, he came through for the Seahawks. Janikowski made a 52-yarder on the final play to give Seattle a 20-17 victory. His make came 1:50 after Phil Dawson missed a 45-yarder that would have given the Cardinals [more]

The Jaguars went up 19 points when running back T.J. Yeldon scored with 25 seconds left in Sunday’s game against the Jets and most coaches probably would have felt secure kicking the extra point to go up 20 points in that spot. Jaguars coach Doug Marrone went for two, however. He said after the game [more]

The Round of 12 starts next week at Dover.

The Seahawks never traded safety Earl Thomas, and now, well, it appears bad news for both the team and Thomas. Thomas was carted off in the fourth quarter. The non-contact injury occurred on Josh Rosen‘s 22-yard touchdown pass to Chad Williams with 8:59 remaining. Thomas was running to try to get to Williams when he [more]

Ryan Blaney snaked through the crash site of Martin Truex Jr. and Jimmie Johnson to get his first win of 2018.

The Titans were down 17-3 in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Eagles and they hadn’t scored a touchdown in the last nine quarters, which made for a pretty good backdrop for a dramatic comeback. Quarterback Marcus Mariota authored one by running for a touchdown and then throwing for another one as the [more]

When Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert was carted off the field today in Atlanta, it looked bad. And it was. Eifert has a broken ankle and is out for the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The injury continues a run of brutally bad luck for Eifert. He was a Pro Bowler after the 2015 [more]

Ryan Blaney 'almost wrecked trying to get back in the gas trying to get through' the fronstretch chicane, but he survived to win.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said last week that he wasn’t reading too much into the records of his team and the Patriots when it came to how things would play out in New England on Sunday. Gase was correct to take that approach. The Patriots moved to 2-2 and handed the Dolphins their first loss [more]

Mike Davis scored his second touchdown of the day, giving Seattle a 17-10 lead with one minute remaining in the third quarter. Davis has 81 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. His first touchdown, a 20-yard run, came with 6:09 remaining in the first quarter and gave the Seahawks a 7-0 lead. The Cardinals [more]

Ezekiel Elliott had 240 yards on 29 touches, the most scrimmage yards he has had in a single game in his three-year career. It ranked as the seventh-most in team history. “I’m beat up,” Elliott said. “I was already sore in the first quarter. I knew what type of game it was going to be. [more]
