Only a few online glitches reported
Yahoo experiment for London game has no major issues.
The NFL’s experiment of streaming the Bills-Jaguars game went off without any massive glitches but showed why it might not be viable for more than the occasional game.
Many fans reported intermittent choppiness in the feed. Some of that likely stems from their own Internet connections, but it’s a reminder of why a streaming-only option is probably not a widespread option for the time being.
Jacksonville’s wild 34-31 win over Buffalo in London on Sunday was avail- able only through Yahoo everywhere other than the two home markets, where it was on CBS.
Sunday’s injuries
Arian Foster went down in a heap without taking a hit.
Foster injured his right Achilles tendon late in the fourth quarter of Houston’s 44-26 loss at Miami on Sunday. Texans coach Bill O’Brien said he didn’t know the severity of the injury, but added “it obviously didn’t look good.” If Foster tore his Achilles, his season is over.
Foster was starting to run a pass pattern when he fell to the ground and grabbed his leg. He was helped off the field.
Foster hasn’t played a full season since 2012. The four-time Pro Bowl pick missed eight games after having back surgery in 2013, sat out three games last year and three more this season. He has battled groin, hamstring and calf injuries.
In St. Louis, Johnny Football made his first appearance since Week 2 after Josh McCown hurt his right shoulder late in Cleveland’s loss.
Johnny Manziel saw his first action since he was questioned Oct. 12 by police in Avon, Ohio, after arguing with his girlfriend while driving on a highway. He was not arrested. In other injury news:
■ Cowboys RB Joseph Randle left with a back strain in the first quarter.
