AROUND THE NFL

- — Edited from news services

Rams: WR Cooper Kupp will undergo an MRI on Monday after leaving the Rams’ victory over the Seahawks with a left knee injury. NFL Network reported that the team fears Kupp tore his ACL. “Yeah, I don’t think it’s very good,” Rams coach Sean McVay said after the game. Kupp leads the Rams with six receiving TDs and is third with 527 receiving yards.

Chiefs: When Patrick Mahomes found Tyreek Hill for a 14-yard TD during the second quarter of the Chiefs’ win over the Cardinals, the second-year QB passed Hall of Famer Len Dawson for the Chiefs’ single-season record. It was the 31st TD pass of the season for Mahomes, and he has six games remaining to pad his record. “For him to come in and do that, that’s amazing, man,” Hill said of Mahomes. “People doubted him — ‘He wasn’t going to do this, he wasn’t going to do that.’ I’m proud of him.”

Falcons: Julio Jones became the fastest player in league history to reach 10,000 receiving yards, achieving the milestone with a 30-yard catch during the second quarter of the Falcons’ loss to the Browns. It was his 104th career game. Jones, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2011 draft, passed former Lions WR and future Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson, who reached 10,000 yards in 115 games.

Buccaneers: Coach Dirk Koetter said he — not offensive coordinato­r Todd Monken — called all the plays in the Bucs’ loss to the Redskins. Before Sunday, the Bucs had averaged 448 yards and 28 points per game with Monken calling the plays. They amassed 501 yards against the Redskins, but became the first team in league history with 450-plus total yards and three or fewer points. “We just weren’t good enough as a team. And that starts with me and permeates down through everybody else on the offense,” Koetter said. “To move the ball that way and just come up with three points? You’re just not gonna win that way.”

The Bucs had four turnovers in the loss.

Notable injuries: Patriots WR Julian Edelman (ankle), T Trent Brown (back) and TE Dwayne Allen (knee); Saints T Terron Armstead (shoulder); Raiders WR Martavis Bryant (knee); Packers LB Nick Perry (knee); Dolphins CB Bobby McCain (head) and WR DeVante Parker (shoulder); Redskins T Ty Nsekhe (ankle); Lions WR Marvin Jones Jr. (knee); Jaguars C Brandon Linder (knee); Bengals CB Dre Kirkpatric­k (concussion); Chargers LB Denzel Perryman (knee); Colts DE Carroll Phillips (groin).
