It looks like it’s going to be a fun one in Atlanta. A perfectly thrown deep ball from Matt Ryan to Taylor Gabriel has given the Falcons a 10-7 lead just a little over 10 minutes in. Aaron Rodgers came out gunning, too, and Jordy Nelson caught a 5-yard touchdown pass after catching a 58-yarder…

The Raiders’ win over the Buccaneers had a little of everything. Mostly penalties, but a little of everything. With a 30-24 overtime win against the Buccaneers, the Raiders improved to 6-2 overall and 5-0 on the road this season. They survived a pair of Sebastian Janikowski misses (one in regulation which would have won it…

Jimmie Johnson earned his ninth win at Martinsville Speedway.

Robin Lopez is a big Miley Cyrus fan, apparently.

The Browns had a real chance to get their first win Sunday, and they had a 20-7 halftime lead. Then the Jets woke up. And reality set in. After completing just three passes in the first half, Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick got going. Quincy Enunwa was his favorite target, and the after building that halftime…

The Chiefs will have to wait to find out if quarterback Alex Smith will clear the concussion protocol in time to face the Jaguars in Week Nine, but they’ll do it knowing that backup Nick Foles is capable of leading the offense to a victory. Smith was knocked out of the game in the third…

Maybe the Panthers just needed a week off, or a reminder of a time when their defense helped carry them to a Super Bowl. Whatever it was, the formula worked, as the Panthers blasted the Cardinals 30-20 for just their second win of the season. It was reminiscent of their 49-15 win in the NFC…

The Saints turned in probably their best defensive effort of the season and held on to beat the Seahawks Sunday, 25-20. The Saints moved the ball all day and, for once, they limited the opponent’s big plays. Drew Brees ran for a touchdown and threw another to Brandin Cooks in the fourth quarter, and despite…

Thanks to all the Florida State kickers, the Raiders and the Buccaneers are going to overtime. Sebastian Janikowski missed a 50-yard field goal as time expired, forcing the Raiders into more football on the road at Tampa. The Buccaneers had come back to tie things even after Roberto Aguayo missed an extra point earlier in…

The Browns have had chances in the past to trade receiver Josh Gordon, but they’ve never done it. In theory, they could do it in the next 48 hours. But they most likely won’t. Per a source with knowledge of the situation, a trade of Gordon before Tuesday’s trade deadline is believed to be “highly…

Carl Edwards slammed the wall on Lap 357 at Martinsville Speedway.

He had previously been listed as "day-to-day"

It hasn’t always been pretty for the Texans this year, but at the halfway point of the season, they’re 5-3 and poised to make a playoff run. Today’s game was yet another in Houston that wasn’t pretty, as both offenses were sloppy at times. But the Texans jumped out to an early 14-0 lead and…

This Charlotte Hornets game may have just helped sway the presidential election.

The Buccaneers had a chance to answer a Raiders rally, but now have another question about one of their biggest offseason moves. Poor Robert Aguayo missed a game-tying extra point, as the Raiders now hold a 17-16 lead on the road. The rookie kicker has been under scrutiny all season, after the Bucs traded up…

The Saints have their first lead. They’ve been moving the ball all day, and they cashed in on a 2-yard slant pass from Drew Brees to Brandin Cooks to go up 22-17 early in the fourth quarter. They failed on the subsequent two-point try. Brees has been steady and the Saints’ defense has played well.…

The Broncos defense will be getting a key player back in the lineup on Sunday, but they’ll be missing two others against the Chargers. Linebacker DeMarcus Ware is active for the first time since breaking his forearm in the second week of the regular season. Ware will be able to work in with Von Miller…

Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa is having a big day, and suddenly the Jets are showing signs of life. They’ve scored the first two touchdowns of the second half and now lead the Browns, 21-20, late in the third quarter. Ryan Fitzpatrick threw a touchdown pass to Enunwa, and Matt Forte’s 4-yard run on fourth…

The Panthers are up comfortably on the Cardinals in the third quarter, but both teams will leave this game with injury concerns. Cardinals safety Tyrann Mathieu won’t return to the game, after a first-half spill. That’s not the kind of news the Cardinals need, since their defense has suddenly sprung a leak after weeks of…

The Patriots have scored 31 more points than they did the last time they played the Bills. More importantly for tight end Rob Gronkowski, he has set the franchise record for career touchdowns by a tight end. Gronk scored on a 53-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady, which was Brady’s second 53-yard touchdown pass of…

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is sliding at the end of runs in hopes of avoiding injuries, but that’s not how things are working out in Indianapolis on Sunday. Smith left the game in the first quarter after his head slammed into the turf at the end of a run and then returned to action in…

Texans coach Bill O’Brien had to be restrained by assistant coaches as he screamed at special teams coordinator Larry Izzo early in the third quarter of today’s game. O’Brien screamed at Izzo for several seconds. Izzo did not appear to respond. The Texans only had 10 players on the field for the second half kickoff,…

Matt Kenseth has led 71 laps in the Chase race at Martinsville Speedway.

The Packers had four players listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Falcons and only one of them will be in the lineup in Atlanta. As previously reported, wide receivers/sometime running backs Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery will both miss the game. Linebacker Clay Matthews will join them on the inactive list. Guard T.J.…

You can never discount the revenge factor when a receiver is playing his former team. Even when that receiver is a tackle. Raiders offensive lineman Donald Penn just caught a touchdown pass from Derek Carr, pulling the Raiders back into a 10-10 tie at Tampa Bay. Penn, who used to play for the Buccaneers, had…
