Baltimore Ravens: Justin Tucker is 27 for 27 on field-goal tries. His run of 34 in a row over two seasons is tied for the sixth best in NFL history.

Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals will be without receiver A.J. Green (hamstring) and running back Giovani Bernard ( knee) for the second consecutive game.
Cleveland Browns: The Browns have given up 15 sacks over the last two games. Robert Griffin III was cleared to play after suffering a shoulder injury in the opener.
Denver Broncos: Running back Devontae Booker (475 yards) is on pace to become the first rookie to lead the Broncos in rushing since Knowshon Moreno in 2009.
Houston Texans: The Texans have rushed for more than 100 yards in six games in a row. Lamar Miller needs six carries to set a season career high (216).

New England Patriots: In seven games, Tom Brady has thrown for 2,201 yards, 18 touchdowns and has had only one pass intercepted, giving him a passer rating of 116.7.
New York Jets: Jets are sticking with Ryan Fitzpatrick after he was 22 of 32 passes for 269 yards with two touchdowns in his return from a sprained knee.
Oakland Raiders: Quarterback Derek Carr led his fifth fourth-quarter comeback this season last week and has earned 10 of his 19 career victories in that fashion.
