The Los Angeles Rams and Green Bay Packers hoped to be in better places as they near the halfway point of the season, but both sit multiple games below .500 heading into their matchup on Sunday afternoon in Green Bay. Making matters more difficult, both teams are facing uncertainty at quarterback, and for different reasons. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered a sprained UCL in his right thumb in a 43-20 loss at the Dallas Cowboys

Frank Reich won his first game as head coach of the Carolina Panthers last week and the timing couldn’t be better for his second. Reich is set to see his former team on the other side on Sunday when the Indianapolis Colts visit Charlotte, N.C. Generating offense is bound to be a priority for the Panthers and fixing defensive snags is something the Colts are desperate to accomplish. “I have a bunch of love and

One of the NFL’s more heated rivalries comes out of hibernation Sunday as the Dallas Cowboys visit the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones held his tongue when asked about the key division matchup, saying he didn’t want to “poke the bear.” Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott did not show similar restraint as his Cowboys (5-2) prepared to take on the Eagles (7-1). “Pour honey on me,” Prescott said. “I always say that. If

Both teams in the Monday night matchup at Detroit want to erase some bad memories from last week. The NFC North-leading Lions were humbled by the Baltimore Ravens, 38-6. The Las Vegas Raiders got thumped by the Chicago Bears and their backup quarterback, Tyson Bagent, 30-12. Lions coach Dan Campbell said the Raiders feel “much like we feel. What they just went through last week is not indicative of who this team is. This is

Undrafted Tyson Bagent will look to guide the Chicago Bears to their second straight victory when they visit the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. Bagent, a product of Division II Shepherd University in Shepherdstown, W.Va., started last week in place of Justin Fields (right thumb) and completed 21 of 29 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown in Chicago’s 30-12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 23-year-old didn’t mince words on Wednesday when

The San Francisco 49ers, who captured the first five games of the season to extend their franchise-record, regular-season winning streak to 15, are suddenly riding a two-game skid as they face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday in Santa Clara, Calif. The 49ers (5-2) are coming off a 22-17 road loss against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. The offense was again led by running back Christian McCaffrey, who totaled 96 yards from scrimmage and two

When they take the field against Kansas City for the second time in 17 days on Sunday, the host Denver Broncos will be looking to beat two opponents — the Chiefs and history. Kansas City’s dominance of its AFC West rival can be summarized in a pair of active winning streaks: The Chiefs (6-1) haven’t lost in Denver since 2014, and they hold a 16-game winning streak over the Broncos (2-5) that dates to the

On paper, it appears to be a mismatch as the Baltimore Ravens travel to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in Glendale, Ariz. The first-place Ravens (5-2), who are 3-1 on the road, sit one-half game ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2) and Cleveland Browns (4-2) in the AFC North and are coming off a 38-6 destruction of the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, the Cardinals (1-6) have lost four consecutive games by a combined score of

P.J. Walker’s statistics haven’t exactly been impressive. But the Cleveland Browns have won both games in which he has appeared, which gives them hope heading into Sunday’s matchup at Seattle in a battle of 4-2 teams. Walker will start at quarterback for Deshaun Watson, who reinjured his strained right rotator cuff last Sunday at Indianapolis. Walker came off the bench and led the Browns to a 39-38 comeback victory against the Colts, a week after
