The NFL’s quarterback carousel might start spinning a bit faster. Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa and Josh Allen got banged up Sunday. Justin Herbert and Jameis Winston played hurt. Already, Dak Prescott and Trey Lance have gone down. Backups, be ready. Jones’ leg injury appears most serious. The second-year pro hopped...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Lamar Jackson has spent his career doing things nobody in the NFL has ever done. The Ravens quarterback added another outstanding performance with his arm and his legs Sunday. Jackson threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score to help Baltimore (2-1) hold off the New...

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The Miami Dolphins’ defense stopped Josh Allen and the Bills at the goal line late, then held again after punter Thomas Morstead bizarrely kicked the ball off a teammate and out of bounds for a safety in a 21-19 win over Buffalo on Sunday. Tua Tagovailoa...

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Zach Wilson is getting closer to playing again for the New York Jets. That means Joe Flacco’s time as the starting quarterback is coming to a close. It could be next week. Or maybe a few weeks. Either way, when Wilson’s knee is totally healthy, he’ll...

CLEVELAND — Jacoby Brissett’s assignment is clear: keep the Browns competitive and in contention while Deshaun Watson’s away. He’s doing much more than that. During a 29-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, Brissett, who has zero illusions about his role with Cleveland, effectively moved the offense with...

TAMPA, Fla.— The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will face the Green Bay Packers without leading receiver Mike Evans, whose appeal of a one-game suspension for his role in an on-field brawl was denied Wednesday. The NFL disciplined the eight-time, 1,000-yard receiver for “violations of unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules” after...

BEREA, Ohio — Nick Chubb pointed the finger at himself, taking the blame for a touchdown run that should have put away the Jets. Instead, it gave them hope. “I probably shouldn’t have scored right there, honestly, looking back at it,” said Chubb, whose Browns host the Pittsburgh Steelers on...

BEREA, Ohio — A fan was arrested for allegedly throwing a plastic water bottle and hitting Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam during the closing moments of Sunday’s 31-30 home loss to the New York Jets. Cleveland police said Tuesday that Jeffrey Miller, 51, of Rocky River, was charged with assault,...

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson suffered a neck injury in a collision with a teammate Monday night and was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Jackson had full movement in his limbs, but coach Sean McDermott didn’t have an update beyond that on the player’s condition...

CLEVELAND — There are losses that can linger and leave marks, some that don’t heal so quickly. The Browns might have suffered one with an unimaginable giveaway Sunday. Less than two minutes from a 2-0 start before a raucous home crowd in what’s supposed to be the “soft” portion of...

LAS VEGAS — Police in Las Vegas said Monday they’re investigating allegations that a fan in the stands struck Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray amid celebrations of Arizona’s 29-23 overtime victory over the Raiders. Murray was high-fiving front-row spectators at Allegiant Stadium following Byron Murphy Jr.’s game-ending fumble return on Sunday...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance will miss the rest of the season after breaking his right ankle Sunday. Lance went down after running the ball on the second drive of a 27-7 win over the Seattle Seahawks. A cart came out on the field, and...

ARLINGTON, Texas — Brett Maher kicked a 50-yard field goal as time expired, and the Dallas Cowboys held on to beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 20-17, on Sunday after losing a two-touchdown halftime lead. Joe Burrow got the Bengals even at 17-17 by leading a 19-play, 83-yard drive in the fourth...

BALTIMORE — Tua Tagovailoa threw for 469 yards and six touchdowns, four of which came during a spectacular fourth quarter, and the Miami Dolphins rallied from a 21-point deficit to beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens, 42-38, on Sunday. Tagovailoa’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Jaylen Waddle with 14 seconds...

CLEVELAND — Everything was stacked against the New York Jets. The clock wasn’t in their favor, and Cleveland’s frothing home crowd was making things harder. The Jets had Joe Flacco. And that was enough. Flacco fired a 15-yard touchdown pass to rookie Garrett Wilson with 22 seconds left as the...
