Benjamin lands with the Chiefs

-

Kelvin Benjamin went from catching passes from Josh Allen and Nathan Peterman on a Bills team going nowhere to hauling in heaves from Patrick Mahomes on a Chiefs team barreling toward the playoffs.

Benjamin signed a one-year contract with Kansas City on Friday to finish out the season, just days after the 2014 first-round pick was released by Buffalo. It brought an end to yet another disappoint­ing run in which Benjamin struggled with one of the highest drop rates in the NFL.

Jets linebacker suspended: New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee has been suspended four games by the NFL for violating its substance abuse policy.

The league announced the suspension Friday, a few hours after the Jets completed their last full practice before leaving for Buffalo to play the Bills on Sunday.

Jets mum on starting QB: The New York Jets’ starting quarterbac­k against the Buffalo Bills is … still to be determined.

All signs indicate it will be rookie Sam Darnold under center after he was a full participan­t at practice all week following missing three games with a strained right foot. Coach Todd Bowles declined, however, to announce Friday whether it will be Darnold or Josh McCown.

Former Ram killed in car wreck: Former two-time All-Pro linebacker Isaiah Robertson was killed when the limousine he was driving skidded on a rain-slicked curve on a dark, rural East Texas highway about 50 miles southeast of Dallas and was hit by two other vehicles.

Robertson, a 69-year-old Garland, Texas, resident, was taken to an Athens, Texas, hospital 20 miles away, where he died.
