Raiders running back Latavius Murray (toe) will be inactive vs. Chiefs​

The Oakland Raiders will once again be without their starting running back this Sunday. Latavius Murray, who sat out the Raiders' Week 5 win over the Chargers with a toe injury, will be inactive again in Week 6 when the Chiefs come to Oakland.

DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard are expected to once again split most of the backfield reps in Murray's absence, with Jamize Olawale working in as well. Washington and Richard each had 14 touches last week, while Washington out-snapped Richard 37 to 23.

 

Rams and Lions tied at 7...

Dolphins up, 3-0 on the Steelers...

 

Saints up early on the Panthers, 7-0... There's two teams that are desperate for a win.

 

21-0, Saints... Panthers in deep stuff.

I suppose this didn't fit the national media's agenda

"Patriots sideline communications/headsets today were a disaster. Team eventually threw up hands as it wasn't getting better."

Hard to believe a billion dollar league can't get A+ communications equipment (as the NFL, not the teams, control the communications).

 

But they get diverted through home team communication network. Or that's at least how it was (;

 

I don't think so....no doubt this is a national story if it happened to the Bengals. Seems to be that the headset system just sucks in general. Confirmation bias causes it to be misconstrued into cheating.

 

The Eagles have undermined the integrity of the highlights/gif policy, time to lay down a way over the top punishment.

It was a joke on the old cheating allegations from a few years ago when only the Pats seemed to have communication and supposedly heard visiting team audio. Their system definitely sucks and even though the NFL controls it during games, the system was set up so the Pats could still access the system controls and audio through one of their hubs away from the officials.

 

Just keep calling penalties on us. Although this week only the usual "acceptable" amount of wrong calls were made. Just beat ourselves and some dumb calls took away so many big plays from Wentz. He was a freaking wizard.

 

I can't wait for Philly-Dallas next weekend. Finally a good primetime game. Somebody needs to lock Jerry away for a week so we can get Wentz vs Dak.

 

Cowboys just called a timeout they didn't have.

 

Isn't that a penalty? If it's not, may as well try to pull a fast one.

 

Delay of game. Pretty much same thing as if the purposely encroached because they hated the look.

 

I wonder if Rodgers will ever be the same again...

 

Every week Rodgers continues to play this way shocks me. Maybe his career is headed downward...

 

Usually happens to the Patriots opponents when they come to Gillette. But those are all coincidences while today when it happened to the Patriots it's cheating.... *REF*
