New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo gets a vote of confidence from management after Sunday’s loss to previously winless San Francisco.

Ben McAdoo is staying as coach of the Giants, at least until the end of the season. Giants co-owners John

Mara and Steve Tisch issued a statement Monday saying that while they are frustrated and disappoint­ed with the Giants’ 1-8 record, they won’t evaluate the team and make any moves until the end of the season.

McAdoo’s future has become a major topic the last two weeks. The Giants suffered a 34-point home defeat to the Rams a little more than a week ago and then Sunday became the first team this season to lose to the 49ers.

The owners said McAdoo, who led the Giants to their first playoff berth since 2011 in his first season last year, has their support. The Giants have not fired a coach in the middle of the season since 1976. Chiefs waive DT Miller: The Chiefs waived defensive tackle Roy Miller two days after he was arrested in Florida and accused of assaulting his wife during an argument at their home.

According to the police report, Miller left Nicole

Miller at the Jacksonvil­le Zoo after going there for a date Friday night. When she got home, Miller was gone, and an argument began when he returned. The 6-foot-1, 300-pound lineman grabbed his wife by the hair and pushed her around, and the police report details several minor injuries.

According to the report, Miller also threw her phone in a toilet and tried to keep her from calling police before barricadin­g himself in a bedroom with one of her sons. Broncos standing pat: Broncos coach Vance Joseph said quarterbac­k

Brock Osweiler will start against the Bengals and gave beleaguere­d special teams coach Brock Olivo a vote of confidence.

Olivo’s units were directly responsibl­e for 24 points in a 41-16 loss to the Patriots on Sunday night that dropped the Broncos to 3-6. Fine only for Burfict: Bengals linebacker Vontaze

Burfict won’t be suspended for the contact with an official that got him ejected from a 24-20 loss in Tennessee.

A league spokesman said Burfict, who pushed an official’s arm out of the way on the sideline in the second quarter after quarterbac­k Marcus Mariota ran out of bounds, faces only a fine. Two plays earlier, Burfict drew an unnecessar­yroughness penalty for hitting Mariota out of bounds. Extra points: Chargers QB

Saints RB Daniel Lasco needs surgery for a bulging disc in his spine, which will end his season but “won’t be career-threatenin­g,” according to coach Sean Payton . ...
