The Los Angeles Rams topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 Monday night. Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns, and Matt Gay kicked in the winning points on a 40-yard field goal with 2:36 left.

Bucs quarterback Tom Brady was under pressure all night from the Rams’ defense, which sealed the win with Jordan Fuller's interception with 1:49 left, the safety’s second of the night. 

 

Bengals' Joe Burrow Tears ACL, MCL

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow tore the ACL and MCL and suffered other structural injuries in his left knee Sunday, ESPN reported Monday, and head coach Zac Taylor said the rookie is out for the rest of the season.

Burrow, this year’s top draft pick, is expected to have to have surgery. He was  injured in the third quarter of the Bengals’ 20-9 loss to Washington when he was hit by two defenders at once.

 

Bills' Sweeney Develops Myocarditis

Buffalo Bills tight end Tommy Sweeney has developed myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, related to his Covid-19 illness last month, and will miss the rest of the season, head coach Sean McDermott said Monday. Myocarditis can lead to heart failure, heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac death. Sweeney’s is the NFL’s first known case, but Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was diagnosed with myocarditis after several months of battling Covid-19. 

 

Browns' Garrett To Miss Second Game

Cleveland Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett will miss a second game this weekend as he continues to recover from Covid-19. Garrett tested positive Friday and missed Cleveland’s 22-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday. The Browns will play the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday. Head coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t give details on Garrett’s condition, only saying they were following the NFL’s protocols. 

 

NFL Issues New Coronavirus Requirements

The National Football League issued new coronavirus requirements Monday, which include that players will now have to wear face masks on the sidelines unless they have their helmet on and are readying to enter the game. Positive cases have been rising in the league as they’ve been surging across the country. There have been a total of 108 positives among players and staff in the past two testing periods, compared to 146 cases in the previous 11 periods.
