It's time to punch this clock!!! Killer ?????? Halloween Edition!!
All is quiet inside Heinz Field for now. In three hours we'll learn if the Bengals can make history by going 7-0 for the first time. Or, will Ben Roethlisberger's return give the Steelers the jolt they need to win?
The first touchdown of the day goes to Chiefs De'Anthony Thomas (10 Yd RUSH). KC leads DET 7-3 in London.
Jets WR Eric Decker, who missed practice time with a sore knee, will play today, per source. The Jets haven't ruled out C Nick Mangold (neck), but that appears to be a formality. It would be an upset if he plays. Second-year OL Dakota Dozier figures to get the start.
Amusing to hear expectations that new Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter would feed Calvin Johnson more than his predecessor. Not that easy. Defenses have a say. Johnson caught opening pass, and then Lions looked elsewhere for remainder of opening drive.
Big Ben back today. In his career, Ben is 2-4 in 1st game back from injury: 8TDs 7 INTs.
The Bears have two key injury storylines to monitor Sunday morning: safety Antrel Rolle and center Hroniss Grasu. Rolle practiced all week on a limited basis after missing the last two games with a high ankle sprain. Officially listed as questionable, Rolle said this week that his availability depended on pain tolerance. He expects the ankle to bother him the rest of the year. Grasu suffered a neck injury at practice on Wednesday and is also questionable. Left guard Matt Slauson is the Bears' emergency center.

No. 6?? needs 2 TD passes to own the #Bears franchise record. ?? away Jay.
Chargers returner Jacoby Jones talking with Ravens QB Joe Flacco on the field. Jones faces Baltimore for the first time since signing as a free agent with San Diego this past offseason.
It should be a picturesque fall day for football at Soldier Field, where the Vikings are trying to win for the first time since Adrian Peterson was a rookie. Peterson, who ran for 224 yards that day, also had his most prolific day of his short career as a kick returner, posting 128 return yards. Asked what he remembered about that game this week, Peterson recalled his pants nearly getting pulled down on one return. "Good thing I was wearing tights," he said.
Good morning from the Dawg Pound...
One of the keys Saints talked about this week is how fast Giants QB Eli Manning gets rid of the ball (a change since new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo took over last year). Saints said it's imperative to tackle well to prevent yards-after-catch, disrupt passing lanes and jam receivers to affect timing.
Falcons rookie WR Justin Hardy ready to show what he's got.
