Bills players said they stand behind coach Chan Gailey (something that never comes up until a team has issues).

Dolphins WR Davone Bess has developed into more than just a slot guy.

The Patriots promoted DE James Develin to take the spot of suspended Jermaine Cunningham.

With Tim Tebow nursing sore ribs, the Jets might have to activate QB Greg McElroy.

Ravens TE Ed Dickson said his knee injury “could have been a lot worse.”

Bengals WR A.J. Green continues to lead fan voting for the Pro Bowl at his position, and is sixth overall.

Browns QB Brandon Weeden described his own concussion as “mild,” and said he was “just a little foggy” (Somebody should tell him his backup isn’t Colin Kaepernick).

Despite three fumbles in his last 28 attempts, Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall said he’s not a fumbler.

Texans WR Andre Johnson’s 461 yards the last two games are the most ever over a similar span.

The Colts were thinking long-term when they put NT Josh Chapman on injured reserve.

Jaguars RB Jalen Parmele earned a game ball, but it might have come at the cost of needing surgery.

Breathe easy Titans assistants, head coach Mike Munchak said no more staff changes this season.

Broncos rookie DE Malik Jackson is getting ready to replace Robert Ayers, who has missed this week after the death of his father.

Former Chiefs players including Hall of Famer Willie Lanier met with Army officials to discuss head injuries.

Even with Darren McFadden close to a return, the Raiders still want to use FB Marcel Reece.

Kevin Acee of U-T San Diego takes a closer look at the offensive dysfunction of the Chargers.

According to Stephen Jones, the Cowboys didn’t put in a waiver claim on DE Jason Babin, in part because of his salary, and partly because it’s one of the few healthy spots on the roster.

Giants LB Mathias Kiwanuka was used exclusively as a lineman last week, and he’s OK with that.

Much like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody expected the release of Eagles DE Jason Babin.

The Redskins did successfully claim a player off waivers yesterday, but it was LB Brayn Kehl.

Bears QB coach Jeremy Bates learned some lessons from his year off.

Lions QB Matthew Stafford said all WR Titus Young has to do to get back in the team’s good graces is: “Just come out and work.”

Since they can’t change personnel, the Packers will tweak their scheme to try to protect QB Aaron Rodgers better.

Vikings RG Geoff Schwartz isn’t a starter, but he’s starting to get more and more reps.

The Falcons are hoping the return of LB Sean Weatherspoon keeps Saints TE Jimmy Graham from destroying them like in the last meeting.

Panthers DT Sione Fua will step into the starting lineup with Ron Edwards on IR.

Saints WR Joe Morgan’s going to play Santa Claus this weekend after playing the Falcons tonight.

The Buccaneers are going for a franchise-record fourth straight road win this weekend in Denver.

A truck-driving heckler at Cardinals practice reminded the team it could be worse, they could have Tim Tebow.

The Rams are approaching this week’s game with the 49ers as the sixth quarter of their previously tied game.

With veteran K David Akers hurting, the 49ers worked out some veteran options this week.

A Seahawks defense which had been so consistent suffered what LB K.J. Wright called a “total meltdown.”
