New York falls short despite late 16-3 run

The 49ers have gone 3-16 in their last 19 regular season games and all three of those wins have come against the Rams with Saturday’s 22-21 victory snapping a losing streak that started after a season-opening win over Los Angeles.

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor’s Saturday didn’t get off to a good start and it had a bitter finish when the Dolphins won in overtime, but there was a lot to like about the way he played in between. Taylor had his first 300-yard passing day in the NFL, finishing with 329 yards, and added 60…

The Dolphins outlasted the Bills in overtime for a 34-31 win on Saturday, which puts them in position to clinch a playoff spot if the Chiefs beat the Broncos on Sunday night. That win came despite a sometimes shaky outing for quarterback Matt Moore. Moore was 16-of-30 for 233 yards, two touchdowns and an interception…

Cardinals running back David Johnson sparked the team’s game-winning drive on Saturday against the Seahawks with a 13-yard gain on a pass from Carson Palmer and that catch also tied a record set by Barry Sanders.
