INACTIVE/ACTIVE NEWS

* Darren McFadden, Rashad Jennings and Marcel Reece are all active. There isn't much upside here.
* CJ Spiller is active.

Week 6 Early Game Action
* Eddie Lacy off to a hot start with 2 carries for 47 yards. Great start against a tough run D.
* LeSean McCoy with a 44 yard screen. Nick Foles gives him more looks in the passing game. Great addition.

* Arian Foster with four early carries for 29 yards. Should be a big game for him.

* Thad Lewis with a long completion to TJ Graham, the longest play for the Bills this season. Lewis doesn't look like a downgrade at the moment.
* Thad Lewis with a QB draw for the TD. Looking very good against a tough Bengals D.
* James Jones limping off the field now.
* LeSean McCoy fumbles. Revis recovers and returns it for a TD. Will be reviewed. UPDATE fumble counts, but Revis was down by contact.
* Sam Bradford 2 yard TD pass to TE Harkey. Texans D still not on point.
* Joe Fauria catches his 3rd TD of the year. He's a TD machine with 3 on the season. Of course he gets zero most games.
* AJ Green catches an 18 yard TD. The Bills were a great matchup for him to get off the schnide.
* James Jones return is questionable with a leg injury.
* Cam Newton throws a 2 yard TD to Steve Smith. The Vikings pass D is a great matchup to get going.
* DeAndre Hopkins fumbles after a 31 yards reception. Houston is trying to give this game away but not Schaub's fault!
* CJ Spiller looking good with 4 carries for 28 yards. He's been running better lately, just having trouble with injuries. Maybe he can get things turned around this week.
* CJ Spiller is also asking out of the game. He's not 100% unfortunately.
* Terrelle Pryor with a 27 yard run. He is so close to being an every week start. If he can play well against the Chiefs he will be.
* DeAngelo Williams getting a lot of work and looking good, plus pass receptions, which he hasn't been getting this season.
* BenJarvus Green-Ellis with 4 carries to Bernard's 1. Sad trombone.
* Chris Ogbonnaya with an easy 4 yard TD reception from Brandon Weeden.
* Vincent Jackson catches a 24 yard TD over the middle from Mike Glennon.
* Arian Foster already at 10 carries for 98 yards, but Houston bogs down near the goal.
* Gio Bernard gets a 1st down on 3rd and 1 and then catches a shovel pass for an amazing 20 yard TD. He continues to look a million times better than Green-Ellis.
* James Jones will not return. No update on severity of injury.
* Terrelle Pryor is 5/7 for 57 yards and 3 carries for 44 yards. Alex Smith is getting pressured constantly and is 4/12 for 41 yards and 10 yards rushing. Pryor is winning this matchup so far.
* On cue, Terrelle Pryor throws a 39 yard TD to Moore. Dude is good. That connection has looked great this season.
* Antonio Brown drops a back shoulder TD.
* Geno Smith had Stephen Hill for a 70 yard TD, but overthrew him.
* Zac Stacy is running well against a good Texans defense. Great vision and falls forward. He helps set up another TD pass for Sam Bradford, this one to Lance Kendricks.
* Cam Newton throws his second TD of the day, this one to Mike Tolbert for 10 yards. Newton getting it done.
* Nick Foles is making a play for that starting job. Very nice pass into the back of the end zone for DeSean Jackson, a 12 yard TD.
* Antonio Brown with 8 targets already. He has 6 receptions for 61 yards.
* Arian Foster adds a 41-yard reception to all his rushing yards.

* Brandon Weeden hasn't looked great, but has his second short TD pass, this one to Greg Little.
* First half RB touches for BUF: Fred Jackson 9, CJ Spiller 7, Tashard Choice 5.
* Jamaal Charles 7 yard TD run. That's 6 straight games with a TD for Charles. Just 25 more total yards to hit 100 yards for the 6th straight game.
* Mike Glennon and Vincent Jackson hook up again. This one a one yard fade. Doug Martin owners cry after he had a 24 yard run to get them to the one.

* Randall Cobb carted to the locker room from the sideline.
* Marshawn Lynch is active. TE Zach Miller inactive.

* Ben Roethlisberger throws a 55 yard TD to Emmanuel Sanders. He's having a good game against the Jets pass D. Looking like an easier matchup than in the past.
* Keshawn Martin fumbles and it's returned for a TD. The Texans are reeling.
* Nick Foles strikes again. This time a 47 yard TD to Riley Cooper. Let the controversy start.
* Rob Gronkowski is officially out.

* Aaron Rodgers intercepted in the end zone. Not his day so far.
* Matt Schaub holding his right knee, TJ Yates coming in.
* Matt Stafford and Reggie Bush help out their worried owners by hooking up for an 18 yard TD. Bush did all the work on that screen. Always great in the open field.
* Cam Newton runs one in this time for a 7 yard TD. He's having a huge game.
* Mark Ingram is inactive. This helps Pierre Thomas a bit.
* Randall Cobb will not return. That's a huge blow to an offense already missing James Jones.
* T.J. Yates is picked near the goal line and it's returned for a 99 yard TD. Insane.
* Matt Cassel has 110 yards passing and one INT. Good chance we see Josh Freeman next week. Very good chance.
* Larry Fitzgerald is active. It doesn't seem like he is 100%.
* Terrelle Pryor reminds us how young he is with a very bad INT. KC is in FG range.
* Torrey Smith has 3 targets, but no receptions today.
* Jamaal Charles runs in his second TD of the day. This one for 2 yards. He's quickly becoming the #1 RB this season.

* Nick Foles throws his 3rd TD of the day and 2nd to DeSean Jackson. Foles is coming up huge.

* Terrelle Pryor just fell apart in this game, closing it out with interceptions on his last 3 drives, this one returned for a TD.
* The Jaguars try a fake punt from their own 20 to no avail. It's better to try and not succeed, etc...

* Tom Brady has completed passes to 7 players already.

* Justin Blackmon has 7 receptions for 82 yards already.
* Colin Kaepernick takes advantage of the free play (Cardinals jumped offside) with a 61-yard TD pass to Vernon Davis.
* Peyton Manning is pick-sixed. What was up is now down. Broncos up 14-12 at half.
