Preview: Buffalo at Jacksonville

When: 9:30 AM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Wembley Stadium, London




The Buffalo Bills head overseas to face the Jacksonville Jaguars and are looking to bounce back from yet another disappointing defensive effort with lingering questions at quarterback. Tyrod Taylor has already been ruled out after missing last week's game with a knee injury and defensive tackle Kyle Williams did not make the trip to London for Sunday's game.

Despite an improving offense, Jacksonville's porous defense has led to four straight losses. The Jaguars are ranked 30th in the league in scoring defense, surrendering 29.3 points a game. Second-year quarterback Blake Bortles continues to emerge, however, throwing seven touchdown passes in the last two weeks. The game will not be televised but instead will be NFL's first free global live streaming event.

INTERNET: CBS/Yahoo!, 9:30 a.m. ET. LINE: Bills -6. O/U: 42.

ABOUT THE BILLS (3-3): Rex Ryan's highly touted and costly defense has been a major disappointment thus far ranking 20th in the league in total yardage and it was humbled by Cincinnati 34-21 last week. Taylor, who has completed 70.1 percent of his passes this season, will sit out again in favor of EJ Manuel, who ran for one score and threw for another in last week's setback. Manuel will be without two of Buffalo's top receivers as Sammy Watkins is sidelined with an ankle injury and Percy Harvin is out due to personal reasons.

ABOUT THE JAGUARS (1-5): Bortles is fifth in the NFL in TD passes (13) and sixth in yards (1,630) and he may have to carry the load again with running back T.J. Yeldon listed as questionable with a groin injury. Wide receiver Allen Robinson, who leads the team with five touchdown receptions, is probable with a leg injury suffered in the final minutes of last week's 38-31 loss to the Bucs. The Jaguars did get back tight end Julius Thomas two weeks ago from a finger injury and the former Bronco star caught his first scoring pass with Jacksonville last week and hauled in seven catches.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Bills RB LeSean McCoy rushed for 90 yards last week after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury.

2. Bills TE Charles Clay, who leads the team with 31 receptions, should be a prominent target.

3. Toby Gerhart and Denard Robinson shared the work in the backfield for the Jaguars last week, combining for 45 yards on 16 carries.

Preview: Tampa Bay at Washington

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland






Two young quarterbacks trying to prove their worth will square off Sunday, when the Washington Redskins host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay rookie Jameis Winston still is trying to prove he was worthy of the No. 1 overall pick, while Washington’s Kirk Cousins might be in danger of losing his starting job if he doesn’t show improvement.



Winston seemingly has embraced his role as a game manager in his debut NFL season, content to allow a strong defense and running game to carry the team. “I’m really nobody in this league yet, so (defenses) don’t have to worry about me,” Winston told reporters. “I have great teammates that do a great job, and we have a great team. That’s what I think the biggest thing about this league is: You have complete wins.” Tampa Bay is coming off its bye week following a 38-31 shootout win over Jacksonville, while Washington has lost two straight - including a 24-10 defeat at the New York Jets last week - but is in search of its third consecutive home victory. The Buccaneers have won five of the last seven meetings, including a 27-7 road victory last season in which Mike Evans rolled up 209 receiving yards and caught two touchdown passes.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Redskins -3.5. O/U: 43



ABOUT THE BUCCANEERS (2-3): Winston has passed for at least 200 yards and one touchdown in each of his first five NFL starts, and he had his best game yet with a 122.5 rating against the Jaguars. An effective rushing attack led by the resurgent Doug Martin (405 yards, 3 TDs) has helped take the pressure off the rookie quarterback. Field position has hurt Tampa Bay's defense, which ranks fifth in total defense (322.8 yards) but 31st in scoring defense (29.6 points).

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (2-4): Cousins has been without two of his top receivers in DeSean Jackson, who injured his hamstring in the season opener, and tight end Jordan Reed, who has missed the last two games with a concussion. Reed could return Sunday, but Washington needs to get more from its running game – which has totaled just 85 yards in consecutive defeats – to ease the burden on Cousins. Washington’s defense also has slipped during the losing streak, allowing an average of 446 total yards (198.5 rushing) over the past two contests after limiting opponents to 288 total yards per game in Weeks 1-4.



EXTRA POINTS

1. Martin has recorded back-to-back 100-yard rushing efforts and is tied for third in team history with nine in his career, trailing James Wilder (14) and Warrick Dunn (11).

2. Washington has forced multiple turnovers in three straight games – totaling eight in that span – and has three takeaways in each of the last two contests.

3. The Redskins aim to hold a seventh consecutive opponent scoreless on its opening drive for the first time since Weeks 11-17 of the 2007 season.

Preview: Atlanta at Tennessee

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Nissan Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee




The Atlanta Falcons look to rebound from their first loss of the season when they pay a visit to the reeling Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Devonta Freeman had two more touchdowns in Atlanta's 31-21 setback to NFC South-rival New Orleans on Oct. 15, raising his season total to 10 - four more than the next closest competitor (five others).

Julio Jones appears to be laboring in the face of hamstring and toe issues, as the stud wideout has been limited to just 15 receptions in the last three games after reeling in 34 in the first three contests. While Atlanta tasted defeat for the first time, Tennessee has had a steady diet of it with four straight losses following its season-opening victory over Tampa Bay. Marcus Mariota's availability for Sunday's game is in question after he suffered an MCL sprain in the Titans' 38-10 setback to Miami last week. Coach Ken Whisenhunt told the team's website that Mariota is "doing really well" despite failing to practice this week, but did not divulge whether the rookie or Zach Mettenberger will get the nod on Sunday.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Falcons - 4.5. O/U: 48

ABOUT THE FALCONS (5-1): Matt Ryan is 83 yards shy of reaching 30,000 and would become the fifth-fastest quarterback to reach the plateau behind Dan Marino (114), Kurt Warner (114), Peyton Manning (115) and Aaron Rodgers (116). Ryan, who is set to play in his 117th contest, threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns last week versus the Saints but suffered his second lost fumble in two games. Roddy White pulled in his first touchdown pass of the season against New Orleans but has recorded just two receptions for three straight weeks.

ABOUT THE TITANS (1-4): Mettenberger "has been itching for a while" to play, Whisenhunt told the Tennessean. The second-year quarterback has made appearances in nine career games, throwing eight touchdowns against seven interceptions while also losing two fumbles. Tight end Delanie Walker reeled in eight receptions for 97 yards last week and his 22 catches lead a team that features only Kendall Wright (20) and Justin Hunter (11) also in double digits.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Atlanta boasts the top-ranked rush defense (78.8 yards per game) while Tennessee owns the league's best pass defense (184.0).

2. Titans WR Harry Douglas is nursing injured ribs and is questionable to face his former team.

3. Tennessee visits Houston next Sunday for its first road game since Sept. 20.

Preview: New Orleans at Indianapolis

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis, Indiana




Andrew Luck's return from a two-game injury absence didn't translate into a victory, but it provided an encouraging sign for the Indianapolis Colts heading into Sunday's matchup against the visiting New Orleans Saints. Although the Colts had a three-game winning streak halted by reigning Super Bowl champion New England, Luck had his best outing of the season.

Luck received plenty of criticism after tossing seven interceptions in the first three games, but he was referred to as a "stud" by Saints quarterback Drew Brees. "He’s a great athlete for his size and strength," Brees said. "He’s very poised no matter what the situation. And he’s won a lot of big games in the last few years. He’s got a really bright future ahead of him." Brees is also coming off one of his best games of the season with his third straight 300-yard effort in handing the Atlanta Falcons their first loss. In the last meeting between the teams in October 2011, Brees threw for five TDs as New Orleans dealt Indianapolis its worst loss in franchise history 62-7.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Colts -4. O/U: 52

ABOUT THE SAINTS (2-4): Brees, who has thrown for more than 300 yards in four of his five starts, will probably need another big offensive game given the issues of New Orleans' defense, which ranks last in the NFL with 409.7 yards per game surrendered. One of the major concerns for the Saints was how to replace the production of Jimmy Graham after the star tight end was traded in the offseason, but veteran Benjamin Watson provided a boost by catching 10 passes for 127 yards and a TD last week. New Orleans has been gashed by the run, giving up 138.2 yards per game.

ABOUT THE COLTS (3-3): Luck was intercepted seven times and did not throw for more than 260 yards in his first three starts, but he returned from a shoulder injury and finished with 312 yards for three touchdowns and zero picks against the Patriots. Wideout T.Y. Hilton has also dealt with injuries but got in the end zone for the first time this season while veteran running back Frank Gore had 78 yards on only 13 carries and has 403 on the season. Indy's defense ranks 29th in total yards allowed (401.8) and has been particularly generous against the pass (289.2 yards per game).

EXTRA POINTS

1. Brees has thrown for 932 yards and nine TDs in his last three games versus AFC foes.

2. Colts WR Donte Moncrief has a TD pass in four of six games this season.

3. The Saints released K Zack Hocker and signed former Washington Redskins K Kai Forbath.

Preview: Minnesota at Detroit

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Ford Field, Detroit, Michigan




It took six weeks and an overtime, but the Detroit Lions finally picked up their first victory last week and are ready for more. The Lions will try to make it two straight when they host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Detroit was the last team in the NFL to secure its first win when it topped Chicago 37-34 in overtime last week and earned some redemption for quarterback Matt Stafford, who was benched late in the previous loss. Stafford threw for 405 yards and four touchdowns in the victory, his highest total since going 32-of-53 for 286 yards and a pair of scores in a 26-16 loss at Minnesota in Week 2. The Vikings have yet to earn a road win and are 1-14-1 in their last 16 road games against NFC North rivals. “I think we’ve started fast at home pretty good,” Minnesota coach Mike Zimmer told reporters. “I think if we will continue to start fast, I think that helps. But again, handling the crowd noise, making sure we don’t turn the ball over. We’ve got to protect the quarterback better than what we’ve done on the road, those will all be big things.”

TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Vikings -2.5. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE VIKINGS (3-2): Adrian Peterson had his biggest game of the season with 134 yards against Detroit in Week 2 but has seen his yardage total steadily decline since, down to 60 on 26 carries in a 16-10 win over Kansas City last week. Peterson suffered an injury to a finger on his left hand in the game but is expected to play versus the Lions. “We’re trying to be a balanced team around here,” quarterback Teddy Bridgewater told reporters.” We also know that we have one of the best running backs to ever play this game, so we would love to get that guy going. (Peterson) works extremely hard.”

ABOUT THE LIONS (1-5): Stafford’s big day coincided directly with a return to form by wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who finished with 166 yards and a score in the win after going three straight games without finding the end zone. “Can he still run by people? Absolutely,” coach Jim Caldwell told reporters. “Can he jump over the top over of folks and make catches? You better believe it. Can he score touchdowns? All right, he can do all of those things. So in that regard, I think his performance speaks for itself.” Johnson’s only other TD on the season came in Week 2 against the Vikings.

EXTRA POINTS

1. The Lions claimed T Michael Ola off waivers from San Diego and waived OL Taylor Boggs.

2. Minnesota DE Everson Griffen underwent precautionary heart-related testing after being deactivated last week but it expected to return to practice and play Sunday.

3. Stafford has 16 career TD passes and five interceptions in 11 career starts against the Vikings.

Preview: Pittsburgh at Kansas City

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri






The Pittsburgh Steelers have had success despite a revolving door under center, and they hope that trend continues with Landry Jones expected to make his first NFL start when they visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Kansas City looks to end its five-game losing streak – its longest since an eight-game skid during a 2-14 campaign in 2012.



Ben Roethlisberger (knee) and Mike Vick (hamstring) are banged up, putting Jones in line to make his first start against a Chiefs defense that ranks 25th against the pass. The Chiefs will be relieved if they don’t have to face Roethlisberger, who is 4-1 with a 106.8 rating versus Kansas City, but Jones flashed potential in relief of Vick in last week’s 25-13 win over Arizona, passing for 168 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in his NFL debut. Kansas City coach Andy Reid is looking for his 162nd career victory, which would move him past former Steeler Bill Cowher for 18th place on the all-time list. The Steelers have won three straight meetings, including a 20-12 triumph in Pittsburgh last season.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chiefs -1. O/U: NL



ABOUT THE STEELERS (4-2): Jones benefited from the return of receiver Martavis Bryant, who made six catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns in his season debut last week. He and Antonio Brown will test Kansas City’s young secondary, and Le’Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams lead the league’s eighth-ranked running game. Pittsburgh has been susceptible against the pass but terrific versus the run, allowing just 93.3 rushing yards per game and only one touchdown on the ground.

ABOUT THE CHIEFS (1-5): Kansas City’s offense wasn’t putting up huge numbers even before losing star running back Jamaal Charles, and the club has averaged just 307.5 total yards the last two games. Alex Smith has gone three games without an interception but hasn’t produced enough big plays and could be without leading receiver Jeremy Maclin (concussion) on Sunday. Kansas City has struggled against the pass at times but has played well defensively in its last two losses, holding Chicago and Minnesota under 330 total yards.



EXTRA POINTS

1. Brown needs one 100-yard receiving performance to join Hines Ward (29) and John Stallworth (25) as the only Steelers with 20 or more.

2. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce needs four receptions to reach 100 in his career.

3. Pittsburgh leads the NFL in red-zone offense, converting 75 percent of its trips inside the 20 into TDs, while Kansas City ranks 30th in red-zone defense, allowing touchdowns 71.4 percent of the time.

Preview: Cleveland at St. Louis

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Edward Jones Dome, St. Louis, Missouri




The Cleveland Browns look to make it two straight road wins when they visit the St. Louis Rams on Sunday, but their porous run defense will have to come up big against a red-hot rookie rusher in order to do so. Todd Gurley, the 10th overall pick in this year's draft, gained 305 yards on the ground in his first two career starts prior to St. Louis' bye last week.

The 21-year-old, who still is recovering from offseason knee surgery, is looking to join former Ram Eric Dickerson as the only rookies in NFL history to rush for at least 140 yards in three straight contests. Cleveland, which recorded a 33-30 overtime victory at Baltimore in Week 5, has allowed a league-worst 149.8 rushing yards per game and yielded 152 in last week's overtime loss to Denver. The Browns rank 30th in total defense (407.3 yards), but St. Louis' offense is last in total yards per game (297) and 31st in passing yards (183.2). The teams have not met since Nov. 13, 2011, when the Rams escaped Cleveland with a 13-12 triumph.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Rams -6.5. O/U: 41.5

ABOUT THE BROWNS (2-4): Gary Barnidge will be watched closely Sunday as he caught two touchdown passes last week to become the second tight end in club history with a scoring catch in four consecutive games, joining Ozzie Newsome (1981). Wide receiver Travis Benjamin, who set career highs with nine receptions and 117 yards against Denver, has gone three straight contests without a touchdown after recording four in his first three games. Cleveland may be without Joe Haden for a second straight contest as the cornerback has yet to practice this week due to a concussion.

ABOUT THE RAMS (2-3): St. Louis is tied for third in the league and ranks second in the NFC with 19 sacks. Robert Quinn has notched a team-leading four of them but could miss Sunday's game due to a knee injury. Like Quinn, fellow defensive end Chris Long (knee) has not participated in practice and is doubtful to face Cleveland.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Rams WR-PR Tavon Austin is one of two players in the NFL this season with a rushing, receiving and return touchdown.

2. Cleveland S Tashaun Gipson (ankle) also hasn't practiced and is in line to miss his third consecutive game.

3. St. Louis LB James Laurinaitis is the only player in the NFL since 2009 with at least 15 sacks and 10 interceptions.

Preview: Houston at Miami

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Sun Life Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida




After answering the bell in Dan Campbell's coaching debut, the Miami Dolphins vie for consecutive victories for the first time in nearly a calendar year when they host the Houston Texans on Sunday afternoon. The Dolphins hardly looked like the team that dropped three in a row - and saw former coach Joe Philbin fired as a result - in its convincing 38-10 rout of Tennessee last week.

"The challenge now is for these guys to not start patting themselves on the back," Campbell told reporters. "We've been notorious for that around here. We get a big win, and then a lull the next week." Miami will look to even its record by defeating Houston for the first time in eight meetings since the Texans joined the NFL. Third-year wideout DeAndre Hopkins (NFL-best 726 receiving yards) continued his scintillating season by hauling in 10 catches for 148 yards and two scores in Houston's 31-20 triumph over Jacksonville last week.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Dolphins -4. O/U: 44.5

ABOUT THE TEXANS (2-4): Arian Foster found the end zone versus the Jaguars and eclipsed 100 total yards for the second time in as many games since returning from a groin injury. The 29-year-old derailed the Dolphins with a pair of scores in their last meeting, a 30-10 victory in 2012. Brian Hoyer has thrown for seven touchdowns in his last three games, including three against Jacksonville.

ABOUT THE DOLPHINS (2-3): Ryan Tannehill was introduced to J.J. Watt in the teams' last meeting, as the quarterback saw the defensive end wreak havoc by batting a pair of balls that led to two of his three interceptions. Although Tannehill has thrown a pair of touchdown passes in four straight games, he's also been picked off seven times in his last three. Electric wideout Jarvis Landry was been limited to just seven catches for 82 yards in his last two weeks after pulling in 24 receptions for 230 in his previous three.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Miami RB Lamar Miller rushed 19 times for 113 yards and a touchdown last week after having 24 carries for 78 yards in his previous three tilts.

2. Houston LB Jadeveon Clowney was limited in practice Thursday with an ailing ankle.

3. The Dolphins are tied with Atlanta for the fewest sacks (seven) in the league.

Preview: N.Y. Jets at New England

When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts




The New York Jets have quietly won four of their first five games to make a statement in the AFC East. New York can make a considerably louder noise on Sunday afternoon with a victory over the reigning Super Bowl champion New England Patriots in Foxborough, Mass.

Sheldon Richardson certainly wasn't shy about talking, as the Jets mammoth defensive tackle did his best Joe Namath impression by guaranteeing victory over the undefeated Patriots. "This is going to be another win for us," Richardson told Metro New York. "We'll let you all write the columns about validating wins and stuff like that." Richardson's remarks will likely provide bulletin-board material for New England, which has an average margin of victory of 16 points this season. Tom Brady, who tossed three touchdowns in the Patriots' 34-27 victory over Indianapolis last week, leads the team's second-ranked passing offense against the Jets' top-ranked defense.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Patriots -9. O/U: 48

ABOUT THE JETS (4-1): After helping the Patriots win that Super Bowl, cornerback Darrelle Revis elected to pack his bags and sign a five-year, $70 million contract with his former team. "I don't think I'll be welcomed back with open arms, I'll tell you that," Revis told the New York Daily News. Chris Ivory likely won't be received well either, especially if he continues his torrid two-game stretch (49 carries, 312 yards and two touchdowns) against the 22nd-ranked Patriots' rush defense.

ABOUT THE PATRIOTS (5-0): In addition to wideout Julian Edelman (team-leading 40 receptions, four TDs) and tight end Rob Gronkowski (five scores), Brady may see the return of another key weapon on Sunday in the form of Brandon LaFell (foot). The wideout came off the PUP list and could be active for the first time after finishing with 74 receptions, 953 yards and seven touchdowns last season. LeGarrette Blount rolled up a season-best total of 93 yards with a pair of scores last week, but was held to zero yards on five carries against the Jets on Nov. 9 in his last game with Pittsburgh.

EXTRA POINTS

1. New York WR Brandon Marshall has eclipsed 100 yards receiving in each of his last four games, including 111 and a touchdown in his team's 34-20 win over Washington.

2. New England DE Chandler Jones had 2 1/2 sacks last week and leads the team with 5 1/2.

3. Jets RB Stevan Ridley (knee) looks to return from the PUP list to make his season debut against his former team.

The Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers both look to avoid a third straight loss Sunday, when the AFC West rivals square off at Qualcomm Stadium. Oakland attempts to end its slide as it comes out of its bye week after losing to Chicago and Denver by a combined eight points.

The Raiders will not have Justin Tuck to apply pressure on Philip Rivers, however, as the veteran defensive end is out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle. San Diego was held to 20 points for the second straight week by Green Bay last Sunday despite an outstanding performance by Rivers, who set franchise records of 43 completions, 65 attempts and 503 yards. The veteran quarterback leads the league in all three categories this season and has won six of his last seven starts against Oakland, throwing for 1,810 yards and 13 touchdowns with only five interceptions in that span. The Chargers have won three straight meetings with Oakland, posting their only two division victories last season versus the Raiders.

TV: 4:05 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Chargers -3.5. O/U: 46.5

ABOUT THE RAIDERS (2-3): Charles Woodson is one of those rare specimens that gets better with age. The 39-year-old cornerback shares the league lead with four interceptions and is tied with Ed Reed for sixth place on the all-time list with 64, one behind Ken Riley for fifth overall. The product of the University of Michigan has returned 11 picks for touchdowns, one behind Hall-of-Famer Rod Woodson for the most in NFL history.

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-4): Rivers became the 17th quarterback in league history to pass for 500 yards last week and has recorded at least 350 and two touchdowns in each of his last three games. He will need to register 424 or more yards against Oakland to surpass Tom Brady (2011) for the most passing yards in a game following a 500-yard performance. Tight end Antonio Gates is one touchdown away from overtaking Hall-of-Famer Steve Largent (101) for 19th place on the all-time list.

EXTRA POINTS

1. San Diego's defense is allowing a league-worst 5.4 yards per carry.

2. Oakland RB Latavius Murray has gained only 88 total yards in his last two contests after rushing for 139 in Week 3.

3. Rivers is one of four QBs in NFL history to start 150 consecutive games.

Preview: Dallas at N.Y. Giants

When: 4:25 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey




The Dallas Cowboys' quarterback carousel has turned to Matt Cassel to start Sunday's game against the bitter NFC East-rival New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Brandon Weeden proved ineffective as Dallas dropped three straight games heading into its bye week.

Acquired two days after Tony Romo broke his collarbone last month, Cassel is expected to take over an offense that is completely in flux. The Cowboys will try to re-energize their rushing game while still dealing with the effects of losing star wideout Dez Bryant (foot) in a 27-26 victory over New York in the season opener. The Giants saw their three-game winning streak end with a thud in their 27-7 drubbing by Philadelphia on Monday. Eli Manning was intercepted twice versus the Eagles and has been picked off four times in the last three contests, but has thrown nine touchdowns against one interception in his last four home games versus the Cowboys.

TV: 4:25 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Giants -3.5. O/U: 45

ABOUT THE COWBOYS (2-3): Jason Witten traditionally torches New York, reeling in a pair of touchdowns in the season opener - including an 11-yard score with seven seconds remaining to seal the win. The veteran tight end hasn't scored since that game, although his two touchdown receptions are tied with Terrance Williams for the team lead. Running back Christine Michael received a healthy uptick of reps in practice, but offensive coordinator Scott Linehan told reporters he doesn't expect "big changes" at the expense of Joseph Randle, who has topped 65 yards rushing on one occasion this season.

ABOUT THE GIANTS (3-3): Celebrated wideout Odell Beckham Jr. set social media ablaze after his scintillating one-handed catch in Dallas' last visit to the Garden State. Although limited to just 44 yards receiving in the season opener, Beckham has overcome a nagging hamstring injury to find the end zone in four of his last five contests. "Teams are going to try to take (Beckham) away and that's fine," Manning said. "... The other guys have to make plays." Beckham leads the team with 38 receptions and four scores, while Rueben Randle and tight end Larry Donnell each have 24 catches and two touchdowns.

EXTRA POINTS

1. New York RB Rashad Jennings scored his lone rushing touchdown this season versus Dallas and is averaging just 38.2 yards per game in the last five weeks.

2. Dallas rookie DE Randy Gregory is expected to play after missing four contests with a high-ankle sprain.

3. The Giants are a fifth-best plus-5 in the turnover differential while the Cowboys are minus-5 (fourth-worst).

Preview: Philadelphia at Carolina

When: 8:30 PM ET, Sunday, October 25, 2015
Where: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, North Carolina




The Carolina Panthers will be bidding for the first 6-0 start in franchise history when they play host to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night. The Panthers answered questions about the relative strength of their early-season schedule by scoring a pair of touchdowns in the final 3:55 in a come-from-behind victory at Seattle last weekend.

“This was one of the bigger victories that we have had since I have been here,” Carolina coach Ron Rivera said after his club erased a nine-point deficit in the 27-23 win. “One of the things that stood out was the resiliency." The Panthers have a score to settle with the Eagles after absorbing a 45-21 drubbing at Philadelphia last season. The Eagles stumbled out of the gate with three losses in their first four games but are coming off impressive lopsided victories over New Orleans and the New York Giants to move into a tie atop the NFC East. “We have a long way to go but we know where we want to be at,” running back DeMarco Murray said.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, NBC. LINE: Panthers -3. O/U: 46

ABOUT THE EAGLES (3-3): Murray had an ugly start to his career in Philadelphia by rushing for 11 yards on 21 carries in the first two games, but he ran for 112 yards last week and scored a touchdown for the second straight contest. Quarterback Sam Bradford continues to struggle, throwing a season-worst three interceptions last week - his fourth game with multiple picks - to boost his season total to nine. Philadelphia's defense, which has forced 16 turnovers, has registered eight of its 14 sacks in the past two weeks while limiting the Giants to 247 total yards.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (5-0): Carolina beat Seattle at its own game by putting together four 80-yard touchdown drives as Newton overcame a pair of interceptions to throw for 269 yards and one TD while running for another score. Jonathan Stewart is coming off a season-high 78 yards and his first two rushing scores while tight end Greg Olsen has three touchdowns, 17 interceptions and a pair of 100-yard games in his last three. Pro Bowl middle linebacker Luke Kuechly returned from a concussion last week for a defense that is yielding only 338.0 yards per game.

EXTRA POINTS

1. Newton was sacked a career-worst nine times by the Eagles last season

2. Eagles WR Jordan Matthews had seven catches for 138 yards and two TDs in the last meeting versus Carolina.

3. Panthers CB Josh Norman has a league-high four interceptions, two for TDs.
