AFC notes: Titans’ Rishard Matthews has been a scoring machine
- Share via
Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens are 2-4 against the Patriots in Foxborough since John Harbaugh became coach in 2008, with their four losses by an average of four points.
Buffalo Bills: Tyrod Taylor is 1-9 when attempting 30 or more passes, and 13-3 with 29 or fewer attempts. The Bills have lost nine of their last 10 to the Steelers.
Cincinnati Bengals: Bengals kicker Mike Nugent missed another PAT last week, his fourth miss in five tries. All of those misses have been pushed wide right.
Cleveland Browns: In his first season as a receiver, Terrelle Pryor, who previously played quarterback, leads Browns in receptions (62), yards (855) and TD catches (four).
Denver Broncos: Quarterback Trevor Siemien is questionable because of a foot injury but is expected to play against the Titans after sitting out last week.
Houston Texans: Receiver Will Fuller’s next 100-yard game will tie Andre Johnson for most by a Texans rookie (three). Houston has lost three in a row.
Indianapolis Colts: The Colts have won three of their last four to move into a three-way tie for the AFC South lead. They face the possibility of first sweep by Houston.
Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars have lost seven straight and are winless in five games at EverBank Field. Their last victory at home came on Dec. 13, 2015.
Kansas City Chiefs: The Chiefs lost All-Pro linebacker Derrick Johnson to a torn left Achilles’ tendon Thursday during 21-13 victory over the Raiders.
Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins have beaten only one team that is above .500 (Pittsburgh at 7-5). Other victories came against teams that are a combined 19-52.
New England Patriots: The Patriots can clinch the AFC East title for eighth consecutive season — an NFL record — with a victory over Baltimore and a Miami loss or tie.
N.Y. Jets: Bryce Petty is set to make his second career start, facing 49ers. The Jets are tied for last with touchdowns on only half of their goal-to-go situations.
Oakland Raiders: Linebacker Khalil Mack had a strip-sack for the third consecutive game in Thursday’s loss to the Chiefs. He’s had a sack in eight straight games.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Receiver Antonio Brown has 49 career touchdowns, two short of matching Hall of Famer Lynn Swann for the third-most in franchise history.
San Diego Chargers: Philip Rivers, who attended North Carolina State, had four touchdown passes and zero interceptions in his previous two meetings with Carolina.
Tennessee Titans: Receiver Rishard Matthews has seven touchdown catches in the last eight games. Rookie Derrick Henry ran for his first score last week.
