Bengals' Chase Breaks NFL's Rookie Receiving Record

Chase had 11 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the previous rookie receiving record of 255 yards by former Buffallo Bills wide receiver Jerry Butler in a 1979 game. Chase also broke Cincinnati’s single-game receiving record.

Antonio Brown No Longer With Tampa Bay

Wide receiver Antonio Brown walked off the field late in the third quarter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ 28-24 win over the New York Jets Sunday in a bizarre incident, and is now no longer with the Bucs.

Tampa Bay was behind 24-10 when an apparently frustrated Brown took off his pads, jersey, gloves and T-shirt and walked into the tunnel at MetLife Stadium, waving to fans. Head coach Bruce Arians said after the game, “He is no longer a Buc.”

Arians told Fox Sports he was trying to get Brown to go into the game and Brown refused twice -- he didn’t know why -- and Arians told him to “get out.”
Quarterback Tom Brady said of Brown, who has a history of personal conduct issues and bizarre behavior, “Everybody should do what they can to help him in ways that he really needs it.”

Eagles' Hurts Avoids Injury

Philadephia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts narrowly avoided a collapsing railing as he walked to the tunnel after the Eagles’ 20-16 win over the Washington Football Team Sunday.

Hurts, who led Philly to a fourth straight win, was walking to the tunnel at Washington’s FedEx Field when a railing with fans leaning over it to reach him collapsed. Hurts was able to avoid it, and then helped fans who’d fallen to their feet. The team said it appeared no one was seriously injured.

Seals-Jones Suffers Neck Injury

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones suffered a neck injury in a scary sideline collision in Sunday’s 20-16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The collision at the end of a play in the second quarter caused Seals-Jones to fall and hit his head on the artificial turf. He was carted off and didn’t play the rest of the game.

Washington head coach Ron Rivera said after that Seals-Jones was fine and walking around at halftime. The cameraman left with help, then returned to keep working.
