Oct 13, 2017

The New Orleans Saints will try to move above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2013 season when they host the Detroit Lions on Sunday. New Orleans captured two straight prior to last week’s bye and is in search of its first three-game winning streak since October 2015.


The Saints had last week off following their 20-0 victory over Miami in London and will be playing only their second game of the season at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. “We need to play better at home,” New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees told reporters. “We haven't. I know there was a time when I think teams dreaded coming and playing in the Dome, and there's no reason it can't be like that again." Detroit has dropped two of its last three contests, with the losses coming by a total of seven points. The Lions have won three straight meetings with the Saints, including a 28-13 triumph in New Orleans last season.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Saints -4.5. O/U: 50


ABOUT THE LIONS (3-2): Detroit no longer has a dynamic offense but is much improved defensively and has done a good job of taking care of the ball. Matthew Stafford led a second-half comeback attempt that came up just short in a 27-24 loss to Carolina last week despite a right ankle injury, and he is expected to play against New Orleans. The loss of run stopper Haloti Ngata to a torn biceps will be a tough blow to a defense that ranks third against the run but has struggled to stop the pass.

ABOUT THE SAINTS (2-2): New Orleans ranks 29th in the league in total defense but has been outstanding in consecutive wins, holding Carolina to 288 total yards and limiting Miami to 186. Facing the Lions will provide a test for a secondary that was lit up in the first two games of the season – losses to Minnesota and New England. Brees still is an elite quarterback, however, and Alvin Kamara has emerged as a nice complement to Mark Ingram in the backfield.


EXTRA POINTS

1. The Saints are the third team since 1933 to play their first four games without committing a turnover.

2. The Lions are tied for second in the league in turnover margin at plus-8.

3. Saints WR Michael Thomas has topped 85 receiving yards in three straight games and caught a touchdown pass in each of his last two contests.

Preview: Browns at Texans

Oct 12, 2017

The Houston Texans couldn't be more thrilled with the way their rookie quarterback is performing while the Cleveland Browns have already benched their latest quarterback of the future. The Browns will turn to Kevin Hogan under center when they visit the Texans on Sunday.

Winless Cleveland started rookie DeShone Kizer at quarterback in each of the first five games but benched him in favor of Hogan during a 17-14 loss to the New York Jets last week. The Browns will give the starting job to Hogan, a second-year player out of Stanford, for Week 6. "It's not so much 0-5, it's how we're playing on offense," coach Hue Jackson told reporters. "I know everybody keeps thinking it's the record. I have a vision for this offensive football team and I know how this offense works. That's what I have to get it to. I don't care how we go about that. We just got to do it." Houston rookie DeShaun Watson, who was passed over in the draft by Cleveland, became the first rookie in NFL history with five total touchdowns in back-to-back games when he threw five TD passes against the Chiefs last week. “When you have a guy like that, and look, I know he’s only a 22-year-old rookie, (but) I think our team needs to understand that and to understand that you’ve got this guy under center and at shotgun out there playing for you, you’ve got a chance in every single game,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien told reporters. “No doubt about it.”

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Texans -10. O/U: 47

ABOUT THE BROWNS (0-5): Hogan completed 16-of-19 passes for 194 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in relief of Kizer last week and is looking forward to the opportunity to start. "I'm excited," Hogan told reporters. "It's another opportunity to go out there and play some ball, which I love. I played a lot of games in college and, when I was out there the other day, it felt like I was in college again. I'm looking forward to the opportunity." Hogan should have some help on the other side of the ball from No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett, who played just 19 snaps in his NFL debut last week after sitting out with an ankle injury and recorded two sacks.

ABOUT THE TEXANS (2-3): Houston is suddenly thin on defense after losing end J.J. Watt (tibial plateau fracture) and outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus (torn pectoral muscle) to season-ending injuries last week. "It's going to be multiple guys," O'Brien told reporters. "You don't replace J.J. Watt or Whitney Mercilus with one guy. That's ridiculous. So it's going to a lot of different guys that are going to chip in to help." The Texans signed veteran defensive ends Lamarr Houston and Kendall Langford this week and hope the two can regain the form that saw them combine for 15 sacks in 2015 with the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts, respectively.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins hauled in three TD receptions last week and has five on the season, one more than his 16-game total from 2016.

2. Houston C Greg Mancz (knee) sat out the last two games and remains questionable.

3. Cleveland LB Jamie Collins (concussion) missed the last three games but is back at practice and could return this week.

Preview: Patriots at Jets
Gracenote
Oct 12, 2017

An unexpected showdown for first place in the AFC East will take place when the surprising New York Jets host the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon. Preseason forecasts were dire for the Jets with some projections of an 0-16 campaign, but they have ripped off three consecutive victories to grab a share of the division lead.

New York squeezed out a 17-14 victory at winless Cleveland last week and has yielded 40 points during its three-game run, but the players know the bar will be raised Sunday, particularly with the Patriots having an extra three days of rest. "They are more dangerous because ... if you have somebody that's good at preparation and you give them extra days, that doesn't mean they get bad, they get better," Jets quarterback Josh McCown said. "We know it's going to be a tough matchup." The Patriots, who already have lost twice at home, are averaging an NFL-best 419.4 yards per game but are also surrendering a league-worst 447.2. Quarterback Tom Brady suffered an injury to his non-throwing shoulder in a 19-14 victory at Tampa Bay but said he will be ready when New England goes for its 11 win in 13 regular-season meetings against New York.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Patriots -9.5. O/U: 47.5

ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (3-2): New England owns the top-ranked passing attack and Brady has thrown for a league-high 1,702 yards, but it has come at a cost -- he has been sacked 16 times through the five games, one more than all of last season. Despite the absence of star tight end Rob Gronkowski, who is dealing with a thigh injury that caused him to sit out at Tampa Bay, Brady threw for 300 yards for the fifth consecutive game, although he was intercepted for the first time. Oft-injured wideout Danny Amendola and Chris Hogan each had eight receptions versus the Buccaneers but speedster Brandin Cooks is the team's most dangerous weapon. The Patriots have been gashed for an average of 36 points in three home games, but they have surrendered a combined 34 points in road wins at New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

ABOUT THE JETS (3-2): New York is barely averaging 300 yards of total offense and has yielded 14 more points than it has scored, so the team is under no illusions -- "We have, in no way, arrived," left tackle Kelvin Beachum acknowledged -- of the need for improvement. The well-traveled McCown, with his fourth time in five seasons, has registered a passer rating above 100 three times in five games, but he could be without his top two running backs as Bilal Powell and Matt Forte are both nursing injuries. Former Seattle receiver Jermaine Kearse leads the Jets with 22 receptions and three touchdowns. The defense, which has notched only seven sacks, ranking 31st in the league, needs to apply pressure on Brady.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Brady has 26 touchdowns passes against only four interceptions in his last 13 matchups against New York.

2. McCown ranks second in the NFL with a completion percentage of 71.4.

3. Cooks has seven touchdowns in his last seven games versus AFC foes.

Preview: 49ers at Redskins
Gracenote
Oct 13, 2017

Kirk Cousins' future is a heavily discussed topic, and the quarterback will compete against one of his potential future employers when the Washington Redskins host the winless San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Cousins could become a free agent after the season and repeatedly is being linked to the 49ers due to the presence of first-year coach Kyle Shanahan, the offensive coordinator in Washington during Cousins' first two NFL campaigns (2012-13).

The 29-year-old Cousins turned down a two-year, $53 million contract in the offseason, and it isn't clear if the Redskins will use the franchise tender on him for a third straight year or allow him to become a free agent. "There's just so much to do between now and then, and this league is so challenging, and it's about right now and it's about doing all I can right now to hopefully be in a position where Washington won't let me leave or doesn't want me to leave because I've done my job," Cousins told reporters. "So that's where my focus lies and we'll see how it all shakes out." Shanahan downplays the situation and Redskins coach Jay Gruden opined that there will be more teams than the 49ers interested if Cousins hits the open market. For now, San Francisco is one of three remaining winless teams in the NFL while the Redskins are aiming to move above .500.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Redskins -11. O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE 49ERS (0-5): San Francisco has scored 15 or fewer points three times as an offense led by quarterback Bobby Hoyer (1,211 yards, four touchdowns, four interceptions). Running back Carlos Hyde (332 yards) gained just 11 yards on eight carries in last Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to Indianapolis while receiver Pierre Garcon (28 receptions, 379 yards) figures to be highly motivated after playing the last five seasons in Washington. Three-time Pro Bowl middle linebacker NaVorro Bowman, who had a team-leading 38 tackles, was released on Friday after voicing displeasure over reduced playing time, while the club hopes to see rookie weak-side linebacker Reuben Foster (ankle) back on the field after a four-game absence.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (2-2): Cousins has passed for 1,004 yards and seven touchdowns with one interception, and his 107.6 quarterback rating is fourth-best in the league. Washington hasn't replaced Garcon's production as running back Chris Thompson has recorded a team-best 235 receiving yards and is tied for the club lead with 14 catches, while the running game also has been inconsistent with rookie Samaje Perine (143 yards, 3.1 average) having a long gain of just 12 yards. Inside linebacker Zach Brown has been superb and is tied for second in the NFL with 42 tackles, while strong-side linebacker Preston Brown has recorded a team-best four sacks.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The 49ers have won each of the last four meetings and hold a 17-9-1 series advantage.

2. Washington TE Vernon Davis (eight receptions, 160 yards) caught 55 touchdown passes in nine-plus seasons (2006-15) with San Francisco.

3. San Francisco signed veteran Leon Hall (27 interceptions in 10 seasons) and placed fellow CB Asa Jackson (hamstring) on injured reserve.

Preview: Buccaneers at Cardinals

Oct 13, 2017

The Arizona Cardinals are counting on their newly acquired three-time rushing champion to improve their league-worst running game when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Arizona, which is averaging just 51.8 yards on the ground, obtained 2012 NFL MVP Adrian Peterson from New Orleans on Tuesday with hopes that the 32-year-old will resemble his former self after enduring a miserable four-game tenure with the Saints.

"I would expect they are expecting a lot, and that's OK," Peterson told reporters on Wednesday. "I have a lot left in the tank. Stay tuned and you'll be able to see it first-hand." The seven-time Pro-Bowler and two-time rushing touchdowns leader was relegated to third-string duty with New Orleans, gaining 81 yards on 27 carries while making two catches for four yards. The Cardinals look to bounce back from the 34-7 beating they took at Philadelphia last week when they take on the Buccaneers, who will have had nine days off since dropping a 19-14 home decision to New England in their last contest. Tampa Bay also is optimistic about its 27th-ranked rushing attack thanks to the return of Doug Martin, who ran 13 times for 74 yards and a touchdown versus the Patriots after serving a three-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Buccaneers -1.5. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (2-2): Kicker Nick Folk's nightmare of a first season with Tampa Bay is over as he was placed on injured reserve with a "minor injury" classification, meaning the team must release him once he becomes healthy. The 32-year-old was a dismal 6-for-11 on field-goal attempts, missing all three in the loss to New England, and also missed two of his nine extra-point tries. Replacing Folk will be Patrick Murray, who appeared in two games for Cleveland last season after converting 20-of-24 field-goal attempts for the Buccaneers in 2014.

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (2-3): Peterson's arrival spelled the end for Chris Johnson, who was released after recording 114 yards on 45 carries in four games. Larry Fitzgerald, who leads the league with 32 catches, made six against Philadelphia last Sunday to join Jerry Rice (274) and Tony Gonzalez (211) as the only players in league history to have a reception in 200 consecutive games. Fitzgerald needs 16 receiving yards to pass Steve Smith Sr. (14,731) for seventh place on the all-time list.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Cardinals QB Carson Palmer's next touchdown pass will be the 292nd of his career, breaking a tie with Warren Moon for 12th in NFL history.

2. Seven of the eight players listed on Tampa Bay's injury report are on defense, with five being limited participants in Thursday's practice - including LBs Kwon Alexander (hamstring) and Lavonte David (ankle).

3. While last in the league in rushing, Arizona ranks second in passing with an average of 289 yards per game.

Preview: Rams at Jaguars
Gracenote
Oct 13, 2017

The Jacksonville Jaguars are beginning to make believers with their swarming defense that recorded an eye-opening 10 sacks in the season opener and picked off Ben Roethlisberger five times in a 30-9 win at Pittsburgh last week. The Jaguars will look to slow down Jared Goff and the visiting Los Angeles Rams, who lead the NFC in scoring, when the two teams meet on Sunday.



While its defense continues to make headlines, rookie Leonard Fournette ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns for Jacksonville in its first win over Pittsburgh in a decade. The Jaguars, who returned two of Roethlisberger's interceptions for touchdowns last week, are over .500 after five games for the first time since 2010 and have already matched their victory total from 2016. The Rams will look to run the ball with Todd Gurley against the Jaguars' suspect rushing defense, which ranks second to last in the NFL. Gurley leads the league with seven touchdowns, four of which have come on the ground.
TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Jaguars -2.5. O/U: 42.5.

ABOUT THE RAMS (3-2): Gurley fumbled at the goal line and Goff threw a late interception in last week's 16-10 home loss to Seattle. Goff has thrown for an average of 272 passing yards per game with seven touchdowns and just three interceptions. Wide receiver Sammie Watkins admitted during the week that he has become frustrated with his lack of use in the early going after netting just 14 grabs through the team's first five games. He didn't have a target in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
ABOUT THE JAGUARS (3-2): Jacksonville continues to hold back the reins on quarterback Blake Bortles who passed for just 95 yards and an interception in last week's game. Fournette has become the focal point of the offense as he ranks second in the NFL with 466 yards and is tied for first with five rushing touchdowns. Both Fournette (ankle) and his backup, Chris Ivory (hip), missed practice time during the week and are both listed as questionable, but they expected to play after combining for 222 yards on the ground against the Steelers.

EXTRA POINTS
1. Jaguars high-priced free agent signee Calais Campbell has six sacks, which is third in the NFL behind Dallas' DeMarcus Lawrence (8.5) and San Diego's Melvin Ingram (7.5).
2. Paced by explosive CBs Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye, the Jaguars have the best turnover ratio in the league at plus-10.
3. The Rams are 3-1 in the series, winning the last meeting 34-20 in 2013.

Preview: Steelers at Chiefs
Gracenote
Oct 13, 2017

The Pittsburgh Steelers were the last team to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs, and they’ll try to do it again when the teams meet Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs, who were ousted from last year’s playoffs with an 18-16 home loss to the Steelers, are the lone unbeaten team remaining in the NFL.


Pittsburgh handed Kansas City a pair of losses a year ago – a 43-14 shellacking in the regular season and the playoff defeat in which the Chiefs gained only 227 total yards. Kansas City’s offense has been far more effective through five games in 2017, ranking second in the NFL in total offense and leading the league in scoring. "This will be a real good challenge for us offensively," Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters. "We are doing some things that are different, but not a bunch. I just think our execution, we didn't execute as well as we needed to last year, and we'll see how we do." The Steelers have lost two of three, including an ugly 30-9 setback against Jacksonville last week in which Ben Roethlisberger threw five interceptions.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chiefs -4. O/U: 47


ABOUT THE STEELERS (3-2): Pittsburgh has struggled a bit on offense despite boasting a star running back in Le’Veon Bell and the league’s leading receiver in Antonio Brown, who has recorded three 100-yard performances already this season. Brown’s likely matchup with Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters will be a key, as will the Steelers’ ability to give Roethlisberger time against Kansas City's strong pass rush. The Steelers have had the best pass defense in the league, but they rank 28th against the run.

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (5-0): Kansas City’s offense is running smoothly with Alex Smith at the helm and surrounded by a wealth of weapons. Rookie running back Kareem Hunt leads the league in rushing (609 yards) and scrimmage yards (775) and has scored six touchdowns, while receiver Tyreek Hill is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. If the Chiefs have a glaring weakness, it’s their defense, which ranks 27th in total defense but has used seven turnovers to minimize the damage.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Smith is one of three quarterbacks in NFL history with at least 11 touchdown passes and no interceptions through the first five games of the season.

2. Roethlisberger has thrown 13 touchdown passes and three interceptions in six regular-season meetings with the Chiefs.

3. Hunt joined Adrian Peterson as the only rookies in NFL history with at least 100 scrimmages yards in each of his team’s first five games.

Preview: Chargers at Raiders
Gracenote
Oct 13, 2017

The Oakland Raiders are expected to have their star quarterback on the field Sunday as they attempt to halt a three-game slide when they host the AFC West-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Derek Carr is slated to return after missing just one game due to a transverse process fracture in his back as Oakland still plans to host the contest despite an unhealthy level of air quality caused by the devastating wildfires in the Bay Area.

The showdown could be moved to Levi's Stadium in San Francisco if needed, but regardless of where it takes place, all signs point to Carr being under center for the Raiders. "We have to make good decisions, sound decisions, for the quarterback, for all of our players, or for Derek in this particular case," Oakland coach Jack Del Rio told The Mercury News. "If the doctors give him the green light and he's prepared to play well and protect himself, then he's going to go." Carr was injured in the Raiders' 16-10 loss at Denver on Oct. 1 but had a miserable showing in a 27-10 setback at Washington the previous week, completing 19-of-31 passes for only 118 yards and a touchdown while throwing his first two interceptions of the season. Los Angeles is coming off a 27-22 road win over the New York Giants after beginning the campaign with four straight losses, although three of the defeats were by a combined seven points.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: OFF. O/U: OFF

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (1-4): Los Angeles is hoping for another strong performance from Melvin Gordon, who was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for 105 yards on 20 carries and making six catches for 58 yards and a pair of touchdowns versus the Giants. The 24-year-old, who is tied for the league lead among running backs with three receiving TDs, gained a total of 114 yards on 36 rushes over his previous three games. Philip Rivers has excelled in Oakland of late, passing for 949 yards and eight touchdowns with only two interceptions in his last three visits.

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (2-3): Oakland added to its defensive backfield Tuesday, signing Demetrius McCray as a free agent after the cornerback spent training camp with Seattle before being released due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old McCray, who played for Jacksonville from 2013-15, was brought into the fold after defensive tackle Darius Latham was handed a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Michael Crabtree recorded his fourth receiving touchdown in last week's 30-17 loss to Baltimore, matching the total of the rest of the team.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Raiders are one of three teams in the league (Chicago, Miami) yet to record an interception.

2. Los Angeles LB Melvin Ingram (7.5) and DE Joey Bosa have combined for 12 sacks, the most in the league among two teammates.

3. Oakland has won the last four meetings, including a 34-31 decision at home on Oct. 9, 2016.

Preview: Giants at Broncos
Gracenote
Oct 12, 2017

The season is turning into a massive sinkhole for the New York Giants, dragging down their playoff chances while swallowing up their best players due to injury. One of three winless teams in the league, the Giants will travel to one of the NFL's most difficult venues when they visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.

New York has lost its last three games by a combined 10 points but Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers was by far the most damaging, with starting wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall suffering season-ending ankle injuries. “We have to move on,” said quarterback Eli Manning. “Obviously, whenever you lose players, you have to make adjustments and other guys have to step up. Nothing has changed in that fact." Denver, on the other hand, is rested and refreshed following its bye but cannot afford a letdown as it tries to keep pace with undefeated Kansas City in the AFC West. "We're in a good spot right now," Broncos coach Vance Joseph said after a Wednesday practice that he termed the team's "best" of the year. "We have to continue to do more and push our guys to continue to focus and push forward and get better every day."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Broncos -11.5. O/U: 39.5

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (3-1): Denver certainly has its vulnerablities, losing at Buffalo in Week 3 and needing a last-second interception to beat Oakland prior to the bye, but it shredded another NFC East foe in a 42-17 shellacking of Dallas in Week 2. There is nothing wrong with the Broncos' defense, which is yielding a league-low 260.8 yards per game and ranks No. 1 against the run (50.8). Former seventh-round draft pick Trevor Siemian has thrown for seven touchdowns versus four interceptions while averaging 222 yards per game, but he has a dangerous wide receiver tandem in Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas. C.J. Anderson has at least 20 rushing attempts in three of four games and averages 4.5 yards per tote.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (0-5): New York also lost a third wide receiver, Dwayne Harris, to a season-ending injury and Sterling Shepard was unable to practice Wednesday, leaving the team scrambling to fill the holes by re-signing Tavarres King and Darius Powe. Running back Paul Perkins also was unable to practice Wednesday, leaving Orleans Darkwa and rookie Wayne Gallman to lead a backfield that ranks 30th in the league (77.8 yards). Manning, who could be staring at Roger Lewis Jr. as his No. 1 wideout, has tossed eight scoring passes and five interceptions while completing a career-best 67.8 percent of his defense. Discord has hit the team with the indefinite suspension of cornerback Dominque Rodgers-Cromartie.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Broncos LB Von Miller has four sacks in his last three games and is 1.5 shy of tying for second place on the team's all-time list.

2. Manning has 1,594 passing yards with 17 TDs and seven interceptions in the last six games versus AFC opponents.

3. Broncos RB Jamaal Charles can become the 11th active player to reach 10,000 yards from scrimmage. He is 87 yards short.

PREDICTION: Broncos 23, Giants 13
