A memo about the workout went out to all 32 teams Tuesday.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is as disappointed in the confounding 28-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings as anyone.

But don't misconstrue his lack of anger for acceptance. It's just par for the course, he said.

"I don't know if I have too many weeks regarding the Cowboys that I'm not disturbed," Jones said on his radio show ...Read more

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Falcons will get their first look at the Carolina Panthers without quarterback Cam Newton, who recently was placed on injured reserve with a foot injury.

Kyle Allen, who played at Texas A&M and Houston, has replaced Newton in the lineup and has posted a 5-2 record as a starter. The Falcons (2-7) are set to play the ...Read more

MIAMI -- Dick Anderson saw his friend's email early Tuesday morning, about seven hours after the Seattle Seahawks defeated the previously unbeaten San Francisco 49ers, informing him that no team -- for a 47th consecutive season -- will match the Dolphins' achievement of completing an entire regular season and postseason without a loss.

That ...Read more

Last week's rankings in parentheses.

1. Ravens 7-2 (3)

Lamar Jackson is on pace to pass for 3,620 yards and 27 touchdowns and to rush for 1,248 yards and 11 touchdowns. Those numbers might not be sustainable, especially if Ravens coach John Harbaugh has occasion to rest his starters in Week 17. But the projections are mind-boggling just the ...Read more

BEREA, Ohio -- Starting defensive end Olivier Vernon will likely miss his second consecutive game with a knee injury when the Browns (3-6) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4) on "Thursday Night Football."

Coach Freddie Kitchens was asked Tuesday whether he's optimistic Vernon will be able to give the Browns something in Thursday's game.

"I ...Read more

Bill Belichick doesn't want to talk much about the Patriots' last meeting with the Eagles, the Birds' 41-33 Super Bowl victory. Meanwhile in Philadelphia, fans still love to relive it, and coaches inside the NovaCare Complex recently rewatched the game film from that fateful February 2018 night.

The coaches' reasons, however, were more ...Read more

Each week I'll list the best widely available free agents for fantasy football -- I define "widely available" as being owned in around half of all ESPN or Yahoo leagues -- and some guys who are probably better off in the free-agent pool than collecting dust on your roster.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- This should not be Christian McCaffrey's burden to bear.

But that's how the Carolina Panthers' superstar running back will likely take it.

At least, that's how McCaffrey handled things the last time he came up two yards short of a game-winning touchdown. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2, the last game Cam Newton ...Read more

MIAMI -- The Arizona Cardinals, in April, made the unusual move of selecting a quarterback high in the draft (Kyler Murray, first overall) after using a high pick on another quarterback (Josh Rosen) in the previous draft.

The Dolphins must hope that type of scenario doesn't happen again, because that could torpedo their grand plan of emerging ...Read more

For the record, let me state here and now that the sentiments offered above do not constitute a prediction. Two games earlier, these same Falcons lost at home by 27 points to the team that won the NFC title. Until Sunday, these Falcons had gone 55 days without winning. There's every chance that all winning in New Orleans did was mess up their ...Read more

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Early impressions from the Seahawks' 27-24 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football:

Overtime overdrive madness

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Rams' losses continue to mount, and not just on the field.

Center Brian Allen will sit out the rest of the season because of a knee injury that requires surgery, right tackle Rob Havenstein will be sidelined at least one game because of a knee injury, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks also will be sidelined another ...Read more

There's one reason above all others why Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is in the middle of the longest run of his NFL career without a turnover, a streak at four games after Sunday night's 28-24 win in Dallas.

"He's playing fast," head coach Mike Zimmer said Monday, "and that's probably the most important thing; making good decisions and ...Read more

Panthers coach Ron Rivera supplied more detail Monday on the final play of Carolina's road loss to Green Bay, explaining that quarterback Kyle Allen had the option to hand the ball off to Christian McCaffrey or to throw a pass.

"It was an RPO," Rivera said, referring to the run-pass option that has become popular in the NFL over the past few ...Read more
