Baltimore: Joe Flacco enters Sunday’s game at Oakland averaging 3.9 yards per pass in his past two starts with a touchdown and four intercepti­ons.

Buffalo: The Bills head into Sunday’s game at Cincinnati as the only team that hasn’t trailed by six or more points. They cut receiver Philly Brown Saturday, four days after signing him.

Cincinnati: The Bengals have held teams without a first down on 20 of 47 possession­s. They’ve had a sack in 33 straight regular-season games.

CHARGERS: They have won three straight vs. the Giants, Sunday’s foe, but have lost nine straight regular-season games since November 2016.

Cleveland: The Browns, 2-29 since an overtime win at Baltimore in 2015, head into Sunday’s game vs. the Jets seeking their second win under coach Hue Jackson, who’s 1-19.

Denver: The Broncos enter their bye week having allowed teams to rush for a league-low 203 yards, giving up 2.4 yards per attempt through four games, also an NFL best.

Houston: Deshaun Watson enters Sunday’s game vs. Kansas City as the only rookie in history with at least seven touchdown passes and two rushing scores in his team’s first four games.

Indianapol­is: A statue of Peyton Manning was unveiled outside Lucas Oil Stadium in advance of Sunday’s game vs. San Francisco. “I will always be a Colt,” Manning said.

Jacksonvil­le: Center Brandon Linder (illness) is ruled out for Sunday at Pittsburgh, as is injured receiver Jaelen Strong. Third-string QB Ryan Nassib was released.

Kansas City: The Chiefs have not committed a turnover since their first offensive play in Week 1. Kansas City is fourth in the NFL with 33 points off turnovers.

Miami: The Dolphins make their home debut Sunday vs. Tennessee since their season opener was postponed because of Hurricane Irma.

New England: Tom Brady recorded his 186th regular-season win Thursday, tying Brett Favre and Peyton Manning for the most.

N.Y. Jets: Receivers Jermaine Kearse (18) and Jeremy Kerley (13) lead the Jets in receptions despite not being added to the roster until after training camp.

Oakland: EJ Manuel will start at quarterbac­k for Derek Carr (back), who was limited at practice and is questionab­le. Manuel hasn’t won a start since 2014.

Pittsburgh: Receiver Martavis Bryant is questionab­le for Sunday due to an illness. Antonio Brown’s next TD catch will be his 52nd, breaking a tie with Hall of Famer Lynn Swann for thirdmost in franchise history.
