Raiders likely to be without RT Trent Brown again Week 13 vs. Jets
After a string of injuries to key players, several coronavirus cases and other bad breaks, the San Francisco 49ers somehow find themselves still in the NFC playoff race heading into December. Now they must face a whole new challenge after Santa Clara County issued strict new coronavirus protocols that will force the Niners to become vagabonds the next three weeks by practicing and playing away from home. The 49ers (5-6) got that news just before heading to Los Angeles over the weekend and they managed to push it aside enough to beat the Rams 23-20 to move within one game of the final playoff spot.

Sam Darnold was back at quarterback after a two-game absence with a shoulder injury and he was playing with all three of his starting wide receivers for the first time this season.

Jon Gruden felt an apology was appropriate after his Raiders set season highs for penalties, turnovers and sacks allowed. The Las Vegas coach also was looking to quickly erase Sunday's 43-6 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. It was an especially ugly outing for quarterback Derek Carr, who was sacked five times, threw an interception that was returned by Deion Jones for a touchdown and had three of the team's four lost fumbles.
"I can attest that our entire team has taken the COVID-19 pandemic seriously."

The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team hasn't addressed the situation publicly, confirmed a report by KUSA-TV in Denver that the three QBs were pulled out of practice before it ended Saturday.

As much as he'd like, Josh Allen can't change the past when the topic of the Bills quarterback's first career start was mentioned this week. ''Obviously, very nervous, and things didn't turn out so great,'' Allen said, when asked to recall any lingering memories of Buffalo's 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers two weeks into the 2018 season. In finishing 18 of 33 for 245 yards with a touchdown in the final minute, and two interceptions, Allen's outing was typically reflective of a raw rookie thrust into action after Nathan Peterman unraveled in Buffalo's season opener.
Sam Darnold begins the most important six-game stretch of his career on Sunday, now that his injured shoulder has healed enough for him to play. It’s either a six-game sprint for him to save his career as the Jets’ franchise quarterback, or a six-game showcase to prove his worth to somebody else.
Attention, contenders: A veteran receiver with plenty of experience is available. As long as none of the non-contenders claim him. The Texans officially have released Kenny Stills.

For the sixth time in the last eight games, the Minnesota Vikings had their under-construction defense on the field down the stretch on Sunday with the opportunity to seal a victory.
