Preview: Washington at N.Y. Jets

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey


With a date against New England up next, the New York Jets will try to keep within striking distance of the first-place Patriots when they host the Washington Redskins on Sunday afternoon. The Jets are ranked tops in the league in scoring defense and second only to Denver in total defense.

Washington has also been stout defensively but its passing game has been a pleasant surprise. Kirk Cousins is slowly building support among Redskin fans, completing 68 percent of his passes with five touchdowns, and he may get his best deep threat back this week. Wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who led the league in yards per catch last season, has ramped up his workouts during practice while recovering from a hamstring injury. In the preseason, Jackson boasted there was no player in the NFL who could cover him, not even Jets superstar Darrelle Revis.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Jets - 6. O/U: 40.5.

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (2-3): The Redskins blew a chance to stay tied for first place in the NFC East last week when their defense allowed Atlanta to drive the length of the field in the final minutes for a go-ahead touchdown before eventually losing in overtime. Washington hopes to have running back Matt Jones available after suffering a toe injury, but tight end Jordan Reed is doubtful with a concussion. The Redskins, who have lost 15 of their last 16 road games, also list three cornerbacks, including DeAngelo Williams, as questionable

ABOUT THE JETS (3-1): The Jets welcome back defensive end Sheldon Richardson after a four-game drug suspension, but he is only expected to play about 20 snaps. Running back Chris Ivory is averaging a league-best 104.7 yards per game and is coming off a career-high 166 yards against Miami, a game in which New York dominated 27-14. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been just what coach Todd Bowles ordered at quarterback, effectively managing the game, while Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker have both snared three touchdown passes.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The teams have not met since 2011, when the Jets rolled 34-19 at Washington, but the Redskins have won eight of 10 all-time meetings.

2. The Jets are off to their best start in five years.

3. New York has 13 takeaways to match last season's total.

Preview: Arizona at Pittsburgh

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania


The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense finally started to come alive under Michael Vick in the fourth quarter on Monday night, just in time to pull out a victory. Vick will try to make it two in a row Sunday as the Steelers host the Arizona Cardinals, whose offense has been in top form since the season opener.

Vick was not even under center on the decisive play in Monday’s game, instead getting split out wide while Le’Veon Bell took a direct snap, but drove the team into position and has the Steelers confident they can stay in the race until Ben Roethlisberger (knee) gets back. “I think I showed I can still go out and get it done,” Vick told reporters. “Techniques are changing, defensive philosophies are changing, but I feel like I’ve shown I still can adjust.” Arizona bounced back from its first loss in Week 4 by going into Detroit and putting a 42-17 beating on the Lions last week. The Cardinals’ 190 points and plus-100 point differential are the best in the NFL.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Cardinals -3. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE CARDINALS (4-1): Coach Bruce Arians, Pittsburgh’s former offensive coordinator, is getting the most out of his current offense with Carson Palmer leading the way. The veteran quarterback is completing 64.9 percent of his passes on the season and went 11-of-14 for 161 yards and three touchdowns last week while leaning on the running game. Chris Johnson, who ran for a career-low 663 yards with the New York Jets last season, quickly ascended to Arizona’s No. 1 running back spot and is up to 405 yards through five contests.

ABOUT THE STEELERS (3-2): Vick is getting a handle on the offense but has not been connecting with prolific receiver Antonio Brown, who recorded 50 yards or more in 35 straight games with Roethlisberger but has failed to reach that mark in two contests with Vick. “You have to pick and choose your spots,” Vick told reporters. “Not to say I don’t have confidence in myself or confidence in (Brown), it’s just kind of where we’re at in the game. But trust me, those plays are going to come.” The two may not have long to get on the same page with Roethlisberger returning to practice on a limited basis this week and pushing to return soon.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Cardinals signed veteran DE Dwight Freeney on Monday and expect to use him for 15-20 snaps per game to rush the passer.

2. Bell is averaging 156.8 yards from scrimmage in his last nine games.

3. Arizona S Tyron Mathieu (heel bruise) sat out practice on Wednesday but is expected to play Sunday.

Preview: Kansas City at Minnesota

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Kansas City Chiefs were having trouble generating offense before losing their star running back, so they might be hard-pressed to end their four-game skid Sunday against the host Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings should be fresh coming out of their bye week and hope to take advantage of a Chiefs offense that is without Jamaal Charles.

The Vikings know all too well what it’s like to lose a star running back – Adrian Peterson played only one game last season before being suspended by the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Peterson is back to punishing opposing defenses now, averaging five yards per carry while racking up 372 yards and three touchdowns on the ground through four games. After being embarrassed 20-3 at San Francisco in their season opener, the Vikings won two straight before a tough 23-20 loss at Denver going into the bye. The Chiefs have gone in the other direction, losing four straight following a Week 1 win at Houston, and they blew a 14-point halftime lead in last week’s 18-17 loss to Chicago.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Vikings -4. O/U: 43.5


ABOUT THE CHIEFS (1-4): Losing Charles (knee) for the season is a devastating blow to an offense that has struggled to move the ball through the air consistently. Charcandrick West and Knile Davis are in line to pick up more work in the backfield, but quarterback Alex Smith will need to be more than simply a game manager for the offense to succeed. The Chiefs are tough against the run and likely will load up to try to stop Peterson and force second-year quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to beat them.

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (2-2): Bridgewater hasn’t been asked to do much, as the Vikings rank last in the league in passing, but he has limited his mistakes with only two interceptions. He’s also a threat to run and has contributed to the Vikings ranking second in the league in rushing. Minnesota dodged a bullet by not having to face Charles, as it ranks 26th in the NFL against the run but has done a respectable job of stopping the pass.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Chiefs have won four of the last five meetings, but the teams have not met since 2011.

2. Minnesota has allowed only four return yards on 16 punts this season, a league-low average of 0.8 yards per return.

3. Kansas City WR Jeremy Maclin has at least eight receptions and 85 yards in three straight games and is averaging nine catches and 124.7 yards over that span.

Preview: Cincinnati at Buffalo

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, New York


The Cincinnati Bengals have a chance to match the best record in franchise history when they pay a visit to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Bengals remained perfect with a dramatic comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks last week, erasing a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit before winning in overtime to improve to 5-0 for the first time since 1988 - the last time they reached the Super Bowl.

Cincinnati became only the third team in league annals to rally from 17 points down in the fourth quarter against a team that played in the Super Bowl the previous season. “It shows the fight of this team," Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. "And for us to do that against a really, really good team, to come back in the fourth quarter and win it in overtime, it was huge." Buffalo also came back from a double-digit deficit in the second half to eke out a 14-13 victory at Tennessee, but the victory came at a price. Quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a sprained knee late in the game and was limited in practice Thursday while EJ Manuel took the majority of the snaps.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Bengals -3. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE BENGALS (5-0): Dalton threw for 331 yards and a pair of touchdowns - his third consecutive 300-yard game - and also ran for a score in last week's win, giving him 11 TD passes against only two interceptions. Wideout A.J. Green has 31 receptions for 495 yards and three scores while tight end Tyler Eifert has emerged as a major weapon for Cincinnati with 24 catches and five touchdowns, including a pair against the Seahawks. Running back Giovani Bernard has outperformed backfield mate Jeremy Hill while defensive end Carlos Dunlap is tied for the league lead with five sacks.

ABOUT THE BILLS (3-2): Taylor became one of five players with at least 100 yards passing and 70 yards rushing in the same game last week, but he could be forced to sit in place of Manuel, who hasn't played since Week 4 in 2014. Running back LeSean McCoy, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, was a surprise participant at practice Thursday and could return to help a struggling ground game. Wideout Sammy Watkins (calf), who has also missed the past two games, complained to the Buffalo News that he needs to see more targets and the team is making him "look bad."

EXTRA POINTS

1. Dalton's 115.6 passer rating is the highest through six games in team history.

2. Bills WR Percy Harvin needs 64 yards from scrimmage to reach 5,000 for his career.

3. Green had 10 catches for 221 yards and a TD in two matchups versus Buffalo.

Preview: Chicago at Detroit

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan


The Chicago Bears are starting to get healthier while the Detroit Lions have looked downright sick en route to maintaining their status as the lone winless club in the NFL. The Bears vie for their third win in a row overall and attempt to snap a four-game skid to the Lions on Sunday when the NFC North rivals square off at Detroit's Ford Field.

Jay Cutler tossed a pair of touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to lead Chicago to an 18-17 victory over Kansas City last week. The veteran quarterback has thrown for four scores in the last two weeks while dealing with a nagging hamstring injury. While Cutler has been more efficient with his throws, Detroit's Matthew Stafford hasn't received much help - or time - from his offensive line and has amassed a league-high eight interceptions this season. Three of those picks came last week, earning the former top overall pick a seat on the bench as the Lions dropped a 42-17 decision to Arizona.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Lions -3. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE BEARS (2-3): Pro Bowler Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) has been limited in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday and could return to action for the first time since the season opener. Fellow wideout Eddie Royal (ankle) also practiced on Thursday as he attempted to get back on the field for the first time since the Bears defeated Oakland on Oct. 4. Martellus Bennett continues to be a safe target for Cutler, and the tight end reeled in eight catches for 109 yards in his last meeting with Detroit.

ABOUT THE LIONS (0-5): Wideout Golden Tate caused some friction for the second time this season after he voiced his displeasure with the fans' negative reaction to Detroit's performance last week. "I understand where our fan base is coming from as far as their patience with this organization and a lot of people put it in perspective," Tate told the team's website. "And I'll just keep it at that." The league's worst ground attack (49 yards per game) hasn't helped matters, with rookie Ameer Abdullah losing two fumbles to earn a seat on the bench last week.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Detroit WR Calvin Johnson (32 receptions, 322 yards) has struggled this season, but has five touchdown receptions in his last four meetings with Chicago.

2. Chicago RB Matt Forte grabbed the go-ahead score last week, marking his first touchdown since the season opener versus Green Bay.

3. Lions DE Ezekiel Ansah has recorded three of his NFL high-tying five sacks in the last two weeks.

Preview: Denver at Cleveland

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: FirstEnergy Stadium, Cleveland, Ohio


The Denver Broncos attempt to remain perfect and continue their dominance in the series when they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Denver hopes to at least keep pace with the Cincinnati Bengals (5-0) in the AFC as it seeks its 11th consecutive victory over Cleveland.

Despite Peyton Manning's difficulties (seven interceptions to six touchdowns, 20th-ranked completion percentage at 63.5), the Broncos have yet to lose thanks to a defense that leads the league in sacks (22), turnovers (14) and fewest yards allowed per game (278). Denver's explosive pass rush may be less potent, however, as DeMarcus Ware is doubtful with a strained back. The Browns are looking for a repeat performance from Josh McCown, who threw for a club-record 457 yards in last week's 33-30 overtime triumph over Baltimore. The 36-year-old could wind up being a sitting duck for the Broncos' defense, however, as he is nursing a left ankle injury he suffered in overtime versus the Ravens.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Broncos -4. O/U: 42.5

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (5-0): Manning, who has guided his teams to an NFL-record seven 5-0 starts, needs two victories to tie Brett Favre (186) for most by a starting quarterback in league history. Gary Kubiak joined Red Miller (1977) and Josh McDaniels (2009) as the only first-year coaches in club history to win their first five games. Denver has advanced to the Super Bowl in five of the last six seasons in which it got off to a 5-0 start.

ABOUT THE BROWNS (2-3): McCown's performance last week earned him the AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, as he became the first player in NFL history to record at least 450 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, a rushing score and no interceptions in a game. He also is the first in franchise history to record three straight 300-yard passing efforts. Kicker Travis Coons was nominated for the Special Teams Player of the Week award after going 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and converting an extra point.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Manning has thrown an interception in each of his first five games for the first time since doing so in six straight to start the 1999 season.

2. The Broncos have not visited Cleveland since posting a 34-30 victory on Nov. 6, 2008.

3. Denver ranks 31st in the league in rushing with an average of 3.31 yards per carry.

Preview: Houston at Jacksonville

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: EverBank Field, Jacksonville, Florida


The Houston Texans hope their recent dominance over the Jacksonville Jaguars will help them stay out of the AFC South cellar when the division rivals square off Sunday in Jacksonville. The Texans have won seven of the last nine meetings, including a sweep of the season series last year.

Quarterback Brian Hoyer has regained the starting job for the Texans after relieving Ryan Mallett in the second quarter and going 24-of-31 for 312 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-20 loss to Indianapolis. He also threw an ill-advised interception in the final minutes, though, and coach Bill O’Brien didn’t commit to Hoyer starting beyond this week. “I think it’s 11 one-game seasons,” O’Brien told reporters. “He’s the starter for Jacksonville. … I think overall, he’s played pretty well, so we’re going to go with him against Jacksonville.” The Jaguars aim to snap a three-game losing streak and win their second straight at home, where they beat Miami 23-20 in Week 2.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Jaguars -1. O/U: 43

ABOUT THE TEXANS (1-4): Three of Houston’s four losses have come by seven points, and the Texans can point to their dreadful minus-8 turnover margin as a reason for their poor start. The passing game has put up big numbers, though much of the production has come when the Texans have fallen behind early due to a porous run defense. Arian Foster should be ready to handle close to a full load after being eased back into action the past two weeks, and the Texans need him to improve upon his 1.9 yards per carry thus far.

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (1-4): The silver lining thus far for Jacksonville is the improved play of quarterback Blake Bortles, who passed for 303 yards and four touchdowns for a career-best 125.4 rating in last week’s loss. Along with rookie running back T.J. Yeldon and second-year receivers Allen Robinson and Allen Hurns, the Jaguars have compiled a solid, young offensive arsenal. The defense has been inconsistent and was gashed for 183 rushing yards by Tampa Bay.


EXTRA POINTS

1. Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins has recorded three straight 100-yard receiving performances and needs one more to join Andre Johnson as the only players in franchise history with four in a row.

2. Jaguars TE Julius Thomas made his team debut last week with two catches for 20 yards and should see an increased role as he develops a rapport with Bortles.

3. Houston DE J.J. Watt has recorded 11.5 sacks in eight career games against Jacksonville.

Preview: Miami at Tennessee

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee


The Miami Dolphins hope a coaching change can alter their fortunes as they attempt to snap a three-game losing skid when they visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Dan Campbell, who was the tight ends coach, replaced Joe Philbin at the helm one day after the Dolphins put forth a listless performance in a 27-14 setback to the AFC East-rival New York Jets in London on Oct. 4.

Campbell's aggressive attitude has brought a smile to the face of offseason acquisition Ndamukong Suh, a physical defensive tackle who often walks a fine line in his own right. "I love Dan's opinion," Suh told reporters. "I love his motto in toeing line and just being a physical and downhill team; setting the tempo and setting the tone of the game." Like Miami, Tennessee saw its losing skid extend to three games with a 14-13 setback to Buffalo last week. "We need a win," Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "That's what we need, and we got to continue to work until we get one. I think you can't ignore the fact that we're close, but close and $4 will get you a cup of coffee."

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Titans -2.5. O/U: 43.5

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (1-3): A new coaching philosophy could pay dividends for struggling running back Lamar Miller, who is averaging just 3.5 yards per carry - and receives just 9.25 rushes per game. "(Campbell) pretty much told the whole team that we have to run the ball and stop the run," Miller told the Miami Herald. "That's something that we emphasized, and something we want to get going." It's a good idea in theory since Miami's 69.3 yards per game rushing is 31st in the league while it is allowing a whopping 160.5 yards on the ground, which is dead last by a comfortable margin.

ABOUT THE TITANS (1-3): Second overall pick Marcus Mariota endured his worst game of his young career, recording a season-low 187 passing yards versus the Bills while failing to find the end zone after throwing for eight scores in the previous three weeks. While Mariota kept his emotions in check, wideout Kendall Wright vented his frustration about his role with the offense - although he leads the team in targets (26), catches (16) and receiving yards (242). Wright reeled in a touchdown pass in his last meeting with Miami, a 37-3 win by Tennessee on Nov. 11, 2012.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Miami QB Ryan Tannehill, who has been intercepted five times in the last two games, was picked off on three occasions in his last encounter with Tennessee.

2. The Titans have surrendered just 167 passing yards per game, 19 fewer than the next closest teams (New York Jets, Chicago, Green Bay).

3. Tennessee RB Bishop Sankey has rushed 12 times for 30 yards total in the last two games.

Preview: Carolina at Seattle

When: 4:05 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, Washington

The Seattle Seahawks will attempt to rebound from a stunning fourth-quarter collapse a week ago when they host the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The Seahawks were cruising toward their third consecutive victory before blowing a 17-point lead in the final 15 minutes at the Cincinnati Bengals before falling in overtime 27-24.

Seattle has squandered a fourth-quarter lead in each of its three defeats but the players said there is no cause for alarm. “I’m confident in us, I believe in us," said middle linebacker Bobby Wagner, who is questionable for the game due to a pectoral injury. "I know we’re 2-3, but we’ll be fine.” The Panthers are among the league's biggest surprises even though their perfect record has been forged against four opponents with a combined 5-15 mark. Quarterback Cam Newton said Carolina is eager for another crack at the Seahawks after suffering three losses to them by a combined 13 points over the past three seasons.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Seahawks -7. O/U: 40.5

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (4-0): Despite losing No. 1 wideout Kelvin Benjamin for the year in the preseason, Newton has thrown for seven touchdowns versus two interceptions while rushing for 195 yards and two more scores. Running back Jonathan Stewart has yet to rush for more than 62 yards in a game while tight end Greg Olsen is the leading receiver with 17 catches and a pair of touchdowns. The Panthers will welcome back middle linebacker and 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year Luke Kuechly, who has been sidelined the past three games due to a concussion.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (2-3): Seattle is also getting a key player back as Marshawn Lynch, who has rushed for at least 11 touchdowns and 1,200 yards for four straight seasons, returns after missing two games with a hamstring injury. Russell Wilson threw for only 213 yards with one touchdown and one interception last week while getting sacked four times to raise his league-leading total to 22. Even without Lynch, the Seahawks have the league's top-ranked rushing attack (142.4 yards per game), but their defense has already surrendered at least 27 points on three occasions.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Panthers are seeking a franchise-best ninth consecutive victory.

2. Wilson is 28-2 with a 99.7 QB rating at home, including the postseason.

3. Carolina is 0-4 following its bye over the past four seasons.

Preview: San Diego at Green Bay

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wisconsin

While Aaron Rodgers and the high-octane passing attack traditionally fuels the Green Bay Packers, an opportunistic defense has paved the way to the team's undefeated start. The Packers vie for their sixth straight victory to start the season when they host the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.

Rodgers was intercepted twice and lost a fumble last week, but cornerback Quinten Rollins returned an interception 45 yards for the score and the Packers picked off three more passes in a 24-10 triumph over St. Louis. Green Bay, which resides second in the league in both interceptions (eight) and sacks (20), can pad those numbers when it faces San Diego's patchwork offensive line. The Chargers are picking up the pieces after watching Le'Veon Bell scamper into the end zone with no time remaining in Monday's 24-20 setback to Pittsburgh. Philip Rivers, who threw for 365 yards and two touchdowns versus the Steelers, leads the NFL with 1,613 yards and brings the league's second-ranked passing attack (318 yards per game) and third-best offense (410 yards per game) into Lambeau Field.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Packers -10.5. O/U: 50.5

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-3): After reeling in his 100th and 101st touchdown receptions on Monday, tight end Antonio Gates needs three more receptions to become the 32nd player in NFL history to reach 800. Gates reeled in nine catches for 92 yards and two scores in his first contest since serving a four-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs. Rookie running back Melvin Gordon, who is from Kenosha, Wis., rushed for only 42 yards versus the Steelers but his seven receptions for 52 yards eclipsed his previous four-game total (six, 34 yards).

ABOUT THE PACKERS (5-0): James Jones made the most of his two catches last week, finding the end zone from 65 yards out for his team-leading fifth touchdown reception. Fellow wideout Davante Adams (ankle) practiced on both Wednesday and Thursday this week and is in line to return to action for the first time since exiting early in a 38-28 victory over Kansas City on Sept. 28. Running back Eddie Lacy, who has also been hobbled by an ailing ankle this season, rushed just 13 times for 27 yards against the Rams.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Packers have won 11 in a row at Lambeau Field and 33 of their last 35.

2. San Diego recorded its only win over Green Bay with a 34-28 victory on Oct. 7, 1984.

3. Packers LB Julius Peppers has recorded nine sacks in as many games dating to last season.

Preview: Baltimore at San Francisco

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, California

The San Francisco 49ers look to end their four-game losing streak when they host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
San Francisco easily handled Minnesota at home in its season opener before allowing a combined 90 points in losses at Pittsburgh and Arizona.

The 49ers then limited Green Bay to 17 points in a home defeat and appeared on their way to halting the slide last week at New York, taking a four-point lead on Carlos Hyde's 2-yard rushing touchdown with 1:49 to play, but yielded a scoring pass by Eli Manning with 26 seconds remaining en route to a 30-27 setback. Baltimore is coming off its second straight overtime contest, a 33-30 loss to Cleveland in which it squandered a 12-point lead in the second half and allowed Josh McCown to throw for 457 yards. Justin Forsett, who rushed for 121 yards and a touchdown, injured his ankle late in the game but is expected to play against the 49ers. San Francisco's pass defense wasn't much better last week, permitting Manning to throw for 441 yards.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Ravens -2. O/U: 44

ABOUT THE RAVENS (1-4): Baltimore's defense was bitten hard by the injury bug last week as Lardarius Webb suffered a torn ACL that landed him on injured reserve. Fellow cornerback Will Davis (thigh) and linebacker Elvis Dumervil (groin) also went down and are questionable to face San Francisco. The offense could get back two weapons, however, as receiver Steve Smith (back) and tight end Crockett Gillmore (calf) participated in practice on Wednesday.

ABOUT THE 49ERS (1-4): San Francisco also expects its tight end to return as Vernon Davis is likely to play after missing two games with a knee injury. He could provide a boost to a team that ranks last in scoring (15 points per game) and 29th in total offense (307.2 yards). The defense has struggled just as much of late, allowing averages of 446.5 yards and 34.3 points during the club's skid.

EXTRA POINTS

1. San Francisco ranks 31st in the NFL with an average of 406.8 yards allowed.

2. Baltimore signed CB Shareece Wright, who was released by the 49ers last week.

3. The teams are meeting for the first time since Baltimore posted a 34-31 victory in Super Bowl XLVII.

Preview: New England at Indianapolis

When: 8:30 PM ET, Sunday, October 18, 2015
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana

While the New England Patriots, Indianapolis Colts and likely the majority of the world have grown tired of "Deflategate," the saga is once again brought to the forefront on Sunday as the respective teams meet for the first time since last season's AFC Championship Game. Tom Brady was initially suspended four games by the league for his alleged role in the scandal, but a federal court overruled the decision that stemmed from the Patriots' decisive 45-7 rout of the Colts on Jan. 18.

Brady, who threw for three touchdowns in that contest, had two through the air and one on the ground in New England's 30-6 rout of Dallas last week. While the Patriots are attempting to reach 5-0 for the first time since their perfect regular season in 2007, Indianapolis has rebounded from a tough start to win three straight contests. Andrew Luck has been a bystander in the last two with an ailing right shoulder, but owner Jim Irsay expects the former top overall pick to play on Sunday. As for any lingering feelings from last season's playoff loss, Colts coach Chuck Pagano did his best to put it to bed by saying, "This team hasn't played that team, right? Got no relevance."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Patriots -7.5. O/U: 55

ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (4-0): Rob Gronkowski resides two touchdowns shy of becoming the fifth tight end with at least 60 in his career. The mammoth Gronkowski has 300 yards receiving and six scores in his last four meetings with Indianapolis, but has been kept out of the end zone in New England's past two games. Julian Edelman (team-leading 34 receptions) was held to "just" four catches against the Cowboys, but recorded a season-high 120 yards.

ABOUT THE COLTS (3-2): After a sluggish start to the season, Pro Bowl wideout Andre Johnson had a pair of touchdown receptions in the Colts' 27-20 victory over Houston on Oct. 8. Fellow veteran Frank Gore found the end zone versus the Texans and has three scores in the last three weeks. Indianapolis turned to a familiar face on Wednesday and signed running back Ahmad Bradshaw, who had eight touchdowns (two rushing, six receiving) in 2014 before a broken leg ended his season.

EXTRA POINTS

1. New England RB Dion Lewis, who previously had a seven-day stint with Indianapolis, was limited in Thursday's practice with an abdomen injury.

2. Indianapolis LB D'Qwell Jackson leads the league with 58 tackles.

3. The Patriots have won six in a row in the series, including playoffs.
