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.

PREDICTION: Rams 24, Jaguars 21

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.

Armadillo's Write-Up

Week 6

Sunday's games
Dolphins (2-2) @ Falcons (3-1)— Miami’s OL coach was fired Monday for off-field issues, which can’t help an offense that scored 3 offensive TD’s on 42 drives in their 2-2 start. Last 3 games, Miami averaged 4.1/4.0/2.8 ypa, which is hideous. Dolphins are 7-11 in last 18 games as a road underdog. Atlanta is 7-1 in its last eight post-bye games, covering five of last six; they’ve run ball for 147 ypg in last three games. Falcons are 4-11 as home favorites under Quinn.
