Preview: Denver at Kansas City
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 28, 2018
Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri

Preview: Broncos at Chiefs
Gracenote
Oct 26, 2018

The Kansas City Chiefs look to continue their divisional dominance – especially against the Denver Broncos – when they host their AFC West rivals on Sunday. The Chiefs have won six straight meetings and are 18-2 against divisional opponents since 2015.



Kansas City sits atop the AFC West again thanks to second-year quarterback Patrick Mahomes and one of the league’s most dynamic offenses. Mahomes’ legend grew when he rallied the Chiefs from a 10-point deficit in the final 13 minutes for a 27-23 win at Denver in Week 4. “It’s kind of like we just went in panic mode in the fourth quarter,” Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. told reporters. “Everybody just (needs to) calm down when it gets like that, when we get situations like that. Just don’t go in panic mode as a defense. Everybody just calm down and play football and read your keys. That’s what really hurt us in that fourth quarter.” That was the second of four straight losses for the Broncos, who rebounded with a 45-10 romp at Arizona last week but still trail the Chiefs in the division by three games.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chiefs -10. O/U: 53.5



ABOUT THE BRONCOS (3-4): Denver’s run defense had been horrendous for three games before tightening up in last week’s win over the Cardinals. The Broncos limited Arizona to 223 total yards and forced five turnovers, but they’ll face a much greater challenge against Mahomes and the Chiefs. Rookie running back Phillip Lindsay has emerged as the workhorse in the backfield, but offseason signing Case Keenum has struggled to maintain possession, throwing nine interceptions against eight touchdowns.

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (6-1): The 27 points against the Broncos marked a season low for Kansas City, which owns the league’s highest-scoring offense. Mahomes has topped 300 yards passing in six straight games – the longest streak in the league – and leads the NFL with 22 touchdown passes, including seven to speedster Tyreek Hill. The defense gives up a league-worst 435.4 yards per game but is coming off a dominant effort in last week’s 45-10 rout of Cincinnati, as it held the Bengals to 239 total yards.



EXTRA POINTS

1. Kansas City LB Justin Houston, who has registered 11 sacks in his last six games against Denver, is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury that already has sidelined him for two contests.

2. Denver WR Emmanuel Sanders, who has recorded at least 100 yards and a touchdown in back-to-back games, is questionable with an ankle injury.

3. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce has notched at least 75 yards and a touchdown in three straight meetings with the Broncos.



PREDICTION: Chiefs 33, Broncos 24

Preview: Browns at Steelers
Gracenote
Oct 25, 2018

The Pittsburgh Steelers made it through their bye week with no further resolution to the Le'Veon Bell drama but are also sitting in first place in the AFC North. The Steelers will go for their third consecutive win and try to maintain their grasp on the top spot in the North when they host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

Bell has yet to report to Pittsburgh and is still holding out after failing to sign his $14.54 million franchise tag, but the team is trying not to let it be a distraction. "It's everybody else," defensive tackle Cam Heyward told reporters. "In our locker room, we're not even worried about it. It's unfair for me to even talk about (Bell), and he'll have to answer his questions when he wants to. But we're not talking about it right now. We've got Cleveland Browns football, and if he joins along the way, so be it. But it's not fair to everybody in this locker room, and Le'Veon himself, for us to keep talking about it." The Browns nearly pulled off an upset of the Steelers with a 21-21 tie in Week 1 and played their fourth overtime game of the season in a 26-23 loss at Tampa Bay last week. "What it comes down to is doing little things right," rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield told reporters of learning to win the tight games. "Early on in the game when emotions are high, you have to settle in quickly and do your job. Late in the game when it really matters, you do not have to do too much. You just have to do your job."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Steelers -8. O/U: 49

ABOUT THE BROWNS (2-4-1): Cleveland head coach Hue Jackson pledged to get more involved in the offense after watching it struggle over the last several games, but that doesn't mean he's lost faith in offensive coordinator Todd Haley, who used to hold the same position with the Steelers. "I have total confidence in Todd and what the staff is doing," Jackson told reporters. "In those situations, for me like I said after the game – fuming like I was after losing – I had a chance to sit back and see it all. I just wanted to make sure that as an offense we were crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s and making sure that everything is moving in the right direction." The Browns enter the week tied for 23rd in the NFL in scoring average at 21.6 points.

ABOUT THE STEELERS (3-2-1): Pittsburgh continues to sing the praises of running back James Conner, who is taking over Bell's spot as the team's top rusher. "It's always the next man up, man," center Maurkice Pouncey told reporters. "We always live by that code here, being a Steeler; and (Conner's) doing a great job with it. He's excelling at a high rate, and guys on the team are loving it." Conner rushed for a season-high 135 yards and two TDs at Cleveland in Week 1, but quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was intercepted three times.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Steelers S Morgan Burnett (groin) sat out the last four games but is practicing on a limited basis and is questionable for Sunday.

2. Browns DB E.J. Gaines (concussion) and LB Joe Schobert (hamstring) are not expected to play.

3. Cleveland last won at Pittsburgh on Oct. 5, 2003.

PREDICTION: Steelers 31, Browns 27

Oct 25, 2018

The Washington Redskins find themselves in relatively new territory (first place in the NFC East) while the reeling New York Giants are exactly where they were at this point last season (1-6, last place in the division). The Redskins vie for their third straight win on Sunday when they visit MetLife Stadium, where they have dropped 10 of their last 11 contests.

"I think the focus is to try to win a ballgame every single week, whatever it takes to try to win. With that as you stack the weeks together, you hope you are moving in the right direction that you're trending," said Alex Smith, who has thrown three touchdown passes without an interception in the last two weeks. Adrian Peterson has run for at least 96 yards in four of his six games this season and faces a New York rush defense that surrenders 113.9 yards per contest. The Giants dropped their fourth in a row following Monday's 23-20 setback in Atlanta and subsequently parted ways with a pair of former first-round picks Eli Apple (New Orleans) and Damon Harrison (Detroit) over the following 48 hours. "I think we're constantly evaluating and constantly looking for ways to get better," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "There is a new GM and new coach because they were 3-13. We’re trying to do what we can do to build a winner and a winner that can sustain. That is what we're trying to do."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Pick. O/U: 42.5

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (4-2): Chris Thompson aims to return to action Sunday after a two-week absence due to rib and knee injuries. "It's more so of me feeling comfortable and confident and I can say last week I wasn't as confident as I am this week," the 28-year-old Thompson said. Thompson's team-leading 26 receptions are just four more than tight end Jordan Reed, who has been limited to just eight catches for 100 yards over the last three games. Josh Doctson, who had three receptions for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Dallas, scored a touchdown in Washington's 20-10 win over New York on Oct. 23, 2017.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (1-6): Rookie Saquan Barkley has served as the focal point of New York's offense, with the second overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft finding the end zone six times (four rushing, two receiving) in the last five games. The versatile Barkley leads all running backs in catches (49) as well as the entire NFL with four plays of 50 yards or more from scrimmage and ranks second in scrimmage yards (905). Odell Beckham Jr. reeled in eight receptions and a touchdown for the second time in three weeks while rolling up a season-best 143 receiving yards against the Falcons. The 25-year-old Beckham has averaged eight catches, 105.8 yards per game and a touchdown in five career meetings with the Redskins.

EXTRA POINTS

1. New York QB Eli Manning, who threw for a season-best 399 yards against Atlanta, owns an 8-2 mark with 10 passing touchdowns in his past 10 home starts versus Washington.

2. Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan, who had two sacks and a forced fumble versus the Cowboys, had a pair of sacks and a forced fumble in his last encounter with the Giants.

3. New York LB Olivier Vernon has recorded four sacks in his past five games overall and 2.5 in his last two meetings with Washington.

Preview: Seahawks at Lions

Oct 26, 2018

The Seattle Seahawks aim for their fourth victory in five games when they visit the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Seattle posted a dominating 27-3 victory over Oakland in London prior to its bye last week and will attempt to end the Lions' two-game winning streak.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll feels his squad is primed to make a sustained run, and middle linebacker Bobby Wagner is just as optimistic. "We kind of had a little bit of adversity, we responded, and I feel like we're growing," Wagner told reporters. "That's all you can ask for at this point of the season, is to be growing. There are teams that have been 6-0, 7-0, 8-0, and they kind of fall off later in the season." Detroit, which averaged 31.5 points in consecutive games against Green Bay and Miami, is receiving a welcome boost from running back Kerryon Johnson. The second-round pick out of Auburn rushed for a season-high 158 yards in last Sunday's win over the Dolphins and is averaging a stellar 6.4 per carry.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Lions -3. O/U: 49.5

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (3-3): Seattle's defense will receive a boost with the return of Pro Bowl linebacker K.J. Wright, who hasn't played since undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in August and is headed toward free agency after the season. "When you get hurt and you miss some ball, all you care about is football, and the contract stuff will handle itself," Wright told reporters. "I just want to play. The money is the money - whatever. I just want to play ball, be out there with my guys, and just do what I love. Football is first and that stuff will handle itself." Russell Wilson has thrown for 13 touchdowns against four interceptions while Chris Carson (352 yards) has pumped life into the running game by topping 100 yards in two of his last three contests.
ABOUT THE LIONS (3-3): Matthew Stafford has been helped by Johnson's emergence as he has completed at least 75 percent of his passes in three of the last four games and has 11 touchdown tosses against one interception over his last five contests. Wide receiver Golden Tate (37 receptions, 467 yards) is happy to play against his former teammates as he is on pace to record his fifth straight 90-catch season since leaving Seattle as a free agent following the 2013 campaign. Linebacker Devon Kennard has registered a team-best five sacks, but the defense is allowing 26.3 points per game and has given up more than 20 in five contests.

EXTRA POINTS
1. The Seahawks have won four of the last five meetings.
2. Detroit acquired DT Damon Harrison from the New York Giants for an undisclosed future draft pick.
3. Seattle TE Ed Dickson (quadriceps) is expected to play for the first time this season.

Preview: Buccaneers at Bengals

Oct 25, 2018

The Cincinnati Bengals had a chance to prove themselves as AFC contenders in a road game against a top opponent last week and fell flat on their faces. The Bengals will try to pick themselves up and jump back into the AFC North race when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

The Bengals were in first place in the AFC North before a 28-21 home loss to the rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6 and made the situation much worse by following that setback with a 45-10 loss at Kansas City in Week 7. "It’s a bad look for the whole team to see this happen," linebacker Preston Brown told reporters after the latest setback. "It’s such a big score difference. You never want to go out there and get blown out on a Sunday night, (especially) when it’s been something we’ve been waiting to show the whole league what we can do. And now, to put up a goose egg like that, it’s not a good look. But we’ve got to learn from it and find ways to get better." The Buccaneers remain a work in progress defensively but took some steps forward in a 26-23 overtime triumph over Cleveland last week that snapped a three-game slide. Tampa Bay, which is last in the NFL in scoring defense at an average of 32.7 points, squandered a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter but managed to keep the Browns off the scoreboard in the extra period.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Bengals -4. O/U: 54.5

ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (3-3): The struggling Tampa Bay defense suffered a pair of big losses in last week's win as middle linebackers Kwon Alexander and Jack Cichy went down with ACL tears that will end their respective seasons. "Unfortunate," Buccaneers coach Dirk Koetter told reporters. "Kwon was playing so well and he's the heart and soul of our defense. Just very unfortunate. ... Kwon goes hard every single play and he wears his emotion on his sleeve. He's a terrific competitor. He brings energy to our defense." The offense will need to do a better job of protecting the football and keeping the defense off the field with Alexander out and starting quarterback Jameis Winston is up to six interceptions and four fumbles in three games.

ABOUT THE BENGALS (4-3): Cincinnati scored 34 or more points in three of its first four games but failed to hit 30 points in any of the last three, leaving the offense searching for answers. “(What) really good teams in this league do is they improve, and we were very clear with talking about that with the players," offensive coordinator Bill Lazor told reporters. "And I think they're 100 percent on board. They agree. You're supposed to improve as the year goes on. You're supposed to see issues that you deal with in training camp and preseason, early in the season and then hope not to have those same mistakes come up." Quarterback Andy Dalton averaged 299.3 passing yards in the first four games but watched that number dip to 208.3 over the last three contests.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Buccaneers signed former Bengals LB Kevin Minter on Tuesday.

2. Cincinnati placed Mason Schreck (knee) on injured reserve and signed fellow TE Jordan Franks off the practice squad.

3. Tampa Bay DT Gerald McCoy (calf) sat out last week and is questionable for Sunday.

Preview: Jets at Bears
Gracenote
Oct 25, 2018

The Chicago Bears have fallen just short in back-to-back losses and hope to have enough to get to the finish line this Sunday when they host the New York Jets. After a three-point overtime loss at Miami on Oct. 14, the Bears went back and forth with the high-powered New England Patriots before falling 38-31, with a Hail Mary completion on the final play leaving them one yard short.

"Coming up one yard short and not tying the game and going to overtime, that's not good enough anymore," quarterback Mitchell Trubisky told reporters after the loss in which he was 26-for-50 for 333 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. The Jets scored 76 points during a two-game winning streak before they were stifled in a 37-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at home last week. Rookie Sam Darnold completed only 17-of-42 attempts while throwing a season-high three interceptions and getting sacked three times. "He tries to get better and learn from his mistakes," New York head coach Todd Bowles told reporters of Darnold's mindset after the rocky performance. "He studies. And he works to get better every day. So attitude-wise, he's been great."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Bears -7.5. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE JETS (3-4): The locker room received a bit of a blow when the team announced that running back Bilal Powell, who ranks second with 343 rushing yards, was to undergo season-ending neck surgery that could end the career of the longest-tenured Jet. "It's one of the toughest things," nose tackle Steve McLendon told reporters. "It almost makes me emotional because I know how hard he worked. ... This is how a lot of guys feed their family, and you never want to see someone lose that ability." The team will lean a little more on leading rusher Isaiah Crowell, but he has been hampered by a foot injury since his franchise-record 219 yards against Denver in Week 5 and had just 29 yards on 11 carries last week.

ABOUT THE BEARS (3-3): A Chicago defense that dominated in a 3-1 start has given up nearly 1,000 total yards and 44 first downs during the two-game slide, a trend it hopes to reverse against the 21-year-old Darnold. "As a rookie, we want to make him make a mistake," safety Eddie Jackson told the Chicago Sun Times. "We're going to send pressure at him and hopefully get some turnovers." Star linebacker Khalil Mack had five sacks and four forced fumbles though the first four games but has zero in both categories over the last two contests as he deals with an ankle issue that has limited him in practice this week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Bears TE Trey Burton had career highs of nine catches and 126 yards last Sunday.

2. Jets CB Trumaine Johnson (quadriceps) is expected to miss his fourth straight game.

3. Chicago is 8-3 against New York and has won the last four meetings.
