Cam Ward threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns, and the Tennessee Titans snapped an 11-game home skid by beating the Kansas City Chiefs 26-9 on Sunday.

EAGAN, Minn. -- The Minnesota Vikings' charter plane experienced mechanical issues shortly after takeoff Saturday afternoon and returned to Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, a team spokesman confirmed.

On back-to-back fourth quarter plays last week in Green Bay, McCarthy twice had his head slam into the ground -- the first when he was tackled by Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie, and then on the next play when he was chased and tackled by Green Bay defensive end Kingsley Enagbare. McCarthy self reported his symptoms on the flight back to Minnesota from Green Bay, and then found himself in concussion protocol, where he now remains, sources told ESPN.
The Bears now have five wins this season after trailing in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most in a season since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research.

Rivera spent draft picks and money on free agents to solve his quarterback conundrum. None of those worked, and there was also an ill-advised trade to acquire Carson Wentz to factor in.

He lasted just one season in Washington before they cut the cord.
