Boyle, signed by the Giants to their practice squad on Tuesday, took snaps ahead of Jones during Wednesday's practice. Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters he hasn't decided whether Jones or Boyle will be QB3 this week.

Daboll on Monday announced that Tommy DeVito will start for the Giants (2-8) on Sunday against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Drew Lock will be his backup, demoting Jones to third string.

At play is a $23 million injury guarantee should Jones play and get hurt. It all but foreshadows that Jones has played his last game in a Giants uniform.

This season, Jones has completed 63.3 percent of his passes for 2,070 yards and eight touchdowns against seven interceptions. The 27-year-old is in the second year of a four-year, $160 million contract. He is due to earn $30 million in base salary in 2025, with $12 million fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the league season.

Boyle, 30, has appeared in 22 career games, going 0-5 as a starter. He's thrown for 1,087 yards with four touchdowns against 12 interceptions.

In a corresponding move made in advance, the team waived OL Charlie Heck on Monday, then re-signed him to the practice squad on Tuesday.

Williams, 27, who signed a two-year contract worth $30 million with the Cardinals in March, was injured early in his first game with the club in Week 1 against the Bills. He played 22 offensive snaps in the loss at Buffalo before sustaining the injury on the final play of the first quarter.

Kelvin Beachum started at right tackle in eight of the nine games Williams missed, missing Week 3 himself with an injury.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon has not determined if Williams will return to the starting lineup on Sunday.

A first-round pick (No. 11 overall) in 2019, Williams has started all 60 games he's played with the Cincinnati Bengals and Cardinals.

Head coach Nick Sirianni said Huff should be able to return before the end of the regular season.

He's been bothered by a wrist issue since Nov. 3, hurt during pregame warmups ahead of Philadelphia's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. He tried to play but was limited to six snaps.

"I can't say enough of how he battled through all those different things. I really admire the way he battled through and played with that cast on," Sirianni said Wednesday.

Huff signed a $51 million deal to join the Eagles in free agency after a career-best 10 sacks with the New York Jets in 2023.

The Eagles (8-2) haven't lost since September and have 28 sacks this season with 2.5 from Huff and stronger contributions from his competition at the position. Josh Sweat leads the team with 6.0 sacks and Nolan Smith has 3.5.

Rookie Jalyx Hunt played a season-high 25 snaps at Dallas. He was the 94th pick in the 2024 draft and could be in line for a larger role while Huff recovers.

"We really like our room," Sirianni said of divvying out Huff's reps. "They've been playing at a really high level. We obviously drafted Jalyx because we liked his skill set. He's been doing a lot of good things on special teams."

Vinatieri, Kuechly, Manning, Terrell Suggs, Earl Thomas and Marshal Yanda are the first-time candidates who last played in 2019 in the pool of semifinalists, which will be reduced to 15 by the end of the current season.

Holt is a semifinalist for the 12th time and nine-time semifinalists Hines Ward and Darren Woodson have been debated by Selection Committee the second-longest. Woodson was first a semifinalist in 2015; Ward joined the list in 2017.

Offensive linemen Richmond Webb, who retired following the 2002 season, is also a first-time semifinalist.

Yet team owner Woody Johnson reportedly sought another huge move that didn't happen: the benching of quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The Athletic reported Tuesday that Johnson advocated a QB change in a Sept. 29 meeting.

Per the report, Johnson brought together a group of coaches and front office staffers in the wake of a 10-9 home loss to the Denver Broncos that dropped the Jets' record to 2-2.

Johnson advocated installing Tyrod Taylor at quarterback in place of Rodgers, according to The Athletic. Douglas and the coaches, including Saleh, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett and Jeff Ulbrich, then the defensive coordinator, now the interim head coach, reportedly were shocked by the suggestion, with one participant asking Johnson if he was being serious.

The meeting ended with the idea being dismissed.

Rodgers, a 40-year-old veteran who is a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player, has started every game this season for the 3-8 Jets. He has completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 2,442 yards and 17 touchdowns with seven interceptions.

Last year, his first with New York, Rodgers sustained a season-ending torn right Achilles tendon early in the opening game.

In his career, largely with the Green Bay Packers (2005-22), Rodgers has a 151-83-1 record as a starter with 61,497 passing yards, 492 passing touchdowns and 112 interceptions.

Taylor, 35, went 2-3 as a starter for the Jets last year. A former Pro Bowl performer with the Buffalo Bills who also has played for the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans and New York Giants, Taylor owns a career 28-28-1 record in a starting role.

This season, Taylor has completed 6 of 8 passes for 36 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.

Wilson is starting to feel like he might be part of something special as the Steelers prepare for a meeting with the host Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, but he also doesn't want Pittsburgh to get ahead of itself.

"I definitely think that we have a chance (to make a deep playoff run)," said Wilson, who has played in two Super Bowls. "I think the biggest thing for us is continuing to just take each week as the most important week of it all.

"I think that it's not really even just the week, it's just the day, it's just the moments in between. I think the greatest teams, the greatest players, in any sport, especially the teams I've been on, is the moment -- it's never too far away. It's right here, right now. And you're just locked into that."

The Steelers (8-2) have certainly been locked in. They are currently riding a five-game winning streak, most recently edging the Baltimore Ravens 18-16 on Sunday.

Chris Boswell booted six field goals against Baltimore, while Wilson completed 23 of 36 passes for 205 yards and an interception.

Meanwhile, Cleveland (2-8) continues to go through the wringer. The Browns ended up on the wrong end of a 35-14 blowout while facing the host New Orleans Saints on Sunday, marking their seventh loss in the past eight games.

Cleveland now has to go up against one of the most unforgiving defenses in the league. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston is determined to direct a fundamentally sound performance against Pittsburgh, which allows the second-fewest points per game in the NFL (16.2).

"It's precision passing. Getting the ball out on time. Elite operation and just doing our job. It's the simple things," Winston said. "This team (the Steelers) is not going to try and fool you. They're going to line up and say, 'Give us your best, we're going to give you our best.'"

Winston threw for 395 yards and two touchdowns on 30-for-46 passing in the setback against New Orleans, with Jerry Jeudy hauling in six catches for 142 yards and a score. Star running back Nick Chubb continued to struggle since his return from a knee injury that cut his 2023 season short, finishing with 50 yards on 11 carries.

Cleveland coach Kevin Stefanski is looking forward to the challenge that Pittsburgh presents.

"Great challenge playing the Steelers on Thursday night," Stefanski said. "Well-coached team, great players on offense, defense and special teams, so we have to have a great week here to get ready for that game."

The Browns could be without standout defensive end Myles Garrett, who missed practice on Tuesday because of a hip injury. Wide receiver Elijah Moore (shoulder), guard Joel Bitonio (pectoral) and cornerbacks Denzel Ward (ribs/ankle) and Greg Newsome II (shoulder) were among those limited during the session.

Linebacker Alex Highsmith is dealing with an ankle issue and missed the Steelers' practice on Tuesday. Cornerback Cory Trice Jr. (hamstring) participated in full.

A member of the Cardinals' practice squad, Bailey, 27, has appeared in one game this season, a 17-15 home win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 21. He played 73 percent (16) of the special teams snaps and none on defense.

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Bailey in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Purdue. He played in 60 games (four starts) for the Bengals and had 73 tackles, 0.5 sacks, two tackles for loss and four passes defended.

Arizona re-signed offensive lineman Charlie Heck, who had been released from the active roster, to the practice squad to fill Bailey's spot on Tuesday. Starting right tackle Jonah Williams (knee) is expected to be activated from injured reserve by Wednesday, his deadline for returning to the active roster to play this season.

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa celebrated a sack of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield in Week 10 by performing President-elect Donald Trump's signature dance that has gone viral.

He was joined this past weekend by Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, Tennessee wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Detroit defenders Za'Darius Smith and Malcolm Rodriguez showing off their renditions following big plays.

"There's no issue with a celebratory dance such as what took place (Sunday) or the previous week with the 49ers on November 10," NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Front Office Sports. "It's up to the networks to cover them as they see fit."

NFL rules allow for players to celebrate so long as they're not excessive and don't feature violent or sexually suggestive acts. Players are also not allowed to wear printed hats or clothing that promote their political opinions, and Bosa was fined $11,255 for wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat on the field.

However, the "Trump Dance" is not considered a political statement by the league.

Stars in other sports have also displayed the dance since the election two weeks ago, including UFC champion Jon Jones and U.S. Men's National Team soccer player Christian Pulisic, who celebrated with the dance following a goal against Jamaica on Monday night.

Bowers said he came up with the idea to celebrate a touchdown on Sunday with the "Trump Dance" after seeing Jones do it during the UFC event the previous night.

"I've seen everyone do it," Bowers said, per USA Today. "I watched the UFC fight last night and Jon Jones did it. I like watching UFC, so I saw it and thought it was cool."

On Tuesday, the President-elect posted a message to his Truth Social account reading, "TRUMP DANCE SWEEPS THE NATION," accompanied by a video compilation of NFL players doing their celebrations.

A stranger to the postseason since last securing a spot in the 2015 season, the Broncos (6-5) are ahead of the Indianapolis Colts (5-6) and Miami Dolphins (4-6) in the conference wild-card race. Denver is effectively two games behind the current No. 6 seed because of a head-to-head loss to the Baltimore Ravens (7-4).

Denver's most recent postseason appearance came in Super Bowl 50 in 2016, when Peyton Manning -- in his final career game -- and the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers.

Resurgent Washington, led by first-year head coach Dan Quinn, holds the No. 7 seed in the NFC through 11 weeks.

To move up from that spot, the Commanders (7-4) would need to overtake the Green Bay Packers (7-3) and Minnesota Vikings (8-2), who trail NFC North-leading and NFC No. 1 seed Detroit (9-1).

Washington last won a playoff game after the 2005 regular season and has lost four straight postseason games since (following the regular seasons of 2007, 2012, 2015 and 2020), all in the wild-card round.

Current NFL playoff picture:

AFC

1. Kansas City Chiefs (9-1)

2. Buffalo Bills (9-2)

3. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2)

4. Houston Texans (7-4)

5. Los Angeles Chargers (7-3)

6. Baltimore Ravens (7-4)

7. Denver Broncos (6-5)

NFC

1. Detroit Lions (9-1)

2. Philadelphia Eagles (8-2)

3. Arizona Cardinals (6-4)

4. Atlanta Falcons (6-5)

5. Minnesota Vikings (8-2)

6. Green Bay Packers (7-3)

7. Washington Commanders (7-4)

Jacksonville enters its bye week at 2-9 with a tiebreaker edge over the Cleveland Browns (2-8).

Cleveland is No. 2 in the current draft order by a slim margin over a pack of teams with the same record: the New York Giants, Las Vegas Raiders and Tennessee Titans.

New England (3-8) and the New York Jets (3-8) are slotted sixth and seventh in front of the Carolina Panthers (3-7), Dallas Cowboys (3-7) and Cincinnati Bengals (4-7) in the top 10.

The Titans and Jaguars play each other twice, including Week 17, and the Jets are at Jacksonville on Dec. 15, one week before Raiders-Jaguars in Las Vegas.

All 32 teams play 17 regular-season games, meaning the 2024 season is more than 50 percent complete for every club but all teams have at least six games remaining on the schedule.

The Jaguars selected No. 1 in 2020, drafted Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, and again in 2021. Jacksonville's surprise pick was defensive end Travon Walker in a decision that came down to two pass rushers. They passed on Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who went No. 2 to the Lions.

The Giants picked in the top six -- LSU wide receiver Malik Nabers was picked No. 6 -- in 2024 for the third time since drafting offensive tackle Andrew Thomas fourth in 2020. Oregon defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (fifth, 2022) and offensive lineman Evan Neal (seventh, 2022) are New York's other recent top-10 selections.

"You don't need to worry about anybody in that locker room giving everything they've got and more and how bad they feel when they get beat on a play or get beat in a quarter or the whole game, at all," Jones said Monday following the Cowboys' seventh loss of the season. "I don't ever worry about that."

Jones said he regrets pulling the plug too soon on head coaches in the past, including firing Wade Phillips after a 1-7 start in 2010.

"I've regretted that. That's the music I'm listening to," Jones said.

There are no plans for an in-season move involving head coach Mike McCarthy in Dallas, where the Cowboys (3-7) are winless at home by a league-worst margin of minus-118.

McCarthy said "it's frustrating for everybody" to accumulate losses, but he knows the only thing that might save his job when his contract runs out in January is ending the season with a string of wins.

"There is good coming out of this," McCarthy said Monday night. "You don't see it because we're not winning games, but there's young men that are getting an opportunity to do more and I do believe it'll pay forward. It needs to hurry the hell up, because we need it in six days."

The Cowboys went 12-5 last season and discussed a path to the Super Bowl throughout the offseason. Expectations did not match the current reality.

Jones said he's counting on the Cowboys sticking together through what he described as tough times, similar to Dallas going 1-15 his first year as owner in 1989.

"And we've had other tough years. And this one, we didn't anticipate the record. And the way we're playing right now, we wouldn't have anticipated that," Jones said. "But, not, this isn't -- y'all have heard me tell these old stories until you're sick -- but not, you stay in this league long enough, you'll have times like this."

Jones, of course, could change his mind with the Cowboys in the midst of three games in 11 days. Their 34-10 loss in primetime to the Texans on Monday night was the third consecutive home loss by a margin of at least three touchdowns. The Cowboys also suffered a 34-6 loss to the NFC East-leading Eagles and began their current five-game losing streak with a 47-9 spanking at the hands of the Detroit Lions.

Dallas has a quick turnaround for Week 12 against former defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who quickly righted the ship with the Washington Commanders (7-4).

"This is it, man. We got seven losses. We've got to go. Backs against the wall. We got to fight, scratch and claw. We've got to do everything we can to go win the next game," McCarthy said. "That's where my mind's at. That's what I'm going to coach and that's the expectation. We've got to win."

The Cowboys are in the spotlight for their traditional Thanksgiving Day game in what is set up as a matchup of backup quarterbacks -- Cooper Rush for Dallas and Tommy DeVito for the New York Giants -- and play again on "Monday Night Football" 11 days later against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The move comes two days after Carlson connected on a pair of field-goal attempts -- including a 58-yarder -- and made all three extra-point tries in New York's 28-27 loss to the Indianapolis Colts.

Carlson, 26, appeared in two games this season for the San Francisco 49ers and was 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 3-for-4 on extra-point tries. The 49ers released Carlson on Nov. 5.

The Green Bay Packers selected Carlson in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Auburn. He made 27 of 33 field-goal attempts (81.8 percent) and 34 of 39 extra-point attempts (87.2 percent) during his rookie season.

The Packers released him on Aug. 27 and he signed with the 49ers on Oct. 15 to the practice squad.

Also on Tuesday, the Jets released defensive lineman Bruce Hector. Hector, 30, recorded three tackles in three games with the team this season.

The Jets (3-8) fired head coach Robert Saleh on Oct. 8 and are 1-5 under interim coach Jeff Ulbrich.

New York headed into its bye week with a 28-27 loss at home against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

Douglas, 48, signed a six-year contract to become the Jets GM in June 2019. Since then, New York has compiled a record of 30-64 with zero playoff appearances, continuing a drought that dates back to 2010.

This season began with Super Bowl aspirations as four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers returned from an Achilles injury. Instead, the offense ranks 26th in the NFL in scoring (18.5 ppg) and yards (294.4).

His younger brother, Tremaine Edmunds, is a starting linebacker for the Bears (4-6).

Terrell Edmunds, 27, was a first-round pick by Pittsburgh in 2018 and was released by the Steelers on Nov. 9.

He has recorded six interceptions, 7.5 sacks and 465 tackles in 101 games (79 starts) with the Steelers (2018-22, 2024), Philadelphia Eagles (2023), Tennessee Titans (2023) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2024).

Jones sustained a fractured fibula when linemate Wyatt Teller rolled into his left leg during the second quarter of Cleveland's 35-14 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.

Jones made his third start at left tackle Sunday and eighth overall this season. The 6-foot-8, 374-pounder got the nod at right tackle five times earlier in the campaign.

Germain Ifedi replaced Jones at left tackle and likely will do so again then the Browns (2-8) host the Pittsburgh Steelers (8-2) on Thursday.

Jones, 23, was a fourth-round pick out of Ohio State in 2023. He has started 17 of 21 games played for Cleveland.

Jones started seven games in 2023 in place of injured star right tackle Jack Conklin. He sustained a sprained knee in December and missed the final five games.

Christian, 28, started nine games for the Browns last season and played in one game with the Rams in 2024.

He has appeared in 59 career games (25 starts) since the Washington franchise selected him in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Derek Barnett scored on a fumble return for the Texans (7-4), who hold a two-game lead over the second-place Indianapolis Colts in the AFC South. C.J. Stroud completed 23 of 34 passes for 257 yards and one interception, and Mixon added 44 yards on two receptions.

Cooper Rush connected on 32 of 55 passes for 354 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Cowboys (3-7), who lost their fifth consecutive game. Dallas' KaVontae Turpin caught a scoring pass and CeeDee Lamb had eight receptions for 93 yards.

Houston held a 20-10 lead after a 29-yard field goal by Ka'imi Fairbairn with 7:05 left in the third quarter.

The Cowboys appeared to have answered with a field goal of their own when Brandon Aubrey connected from 64 yards, 1 yard shy of his career long.

However, Barnett was called for a head slap, a 15-yard personal foul that carries an automatic first down. Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy decided to take the points off the board and the ball was moved to the Houston 31-yard line.

However, Dallas eventually turned the ball over on downs as Rush's pass on fourth-and-2 from the 8 sailed over the head of Jonathan Mingo.

Disaster struck for the Cowboys early in the fourth quarter as Barnett forced Rush to fumble on a strip-sack. Dallas offensive lineman Tyler Guyton recovered the ball, but Houston's Jalen Pitre forced him to fumble. Barnett picked it up on a bounce at the Dallas 28 and cruised in for the second touchdown of his eight-year career to give the Texans a 27-10 advantage.

Mixon rushed for 71 yards and two touchdowns in the first half and the Texans took a 17-10 lead into halftime.

Mixon exploded up the middle for a 45-yard scoring run with 12:42 left in the opening period. Less than 12 minutes later, he scored from the 1 to give Houston a 14-0 lead.

Dallas got on the board when Turpin caught a short pass near his own 45-yard line and turned it into a 64-yard scoring play. He outran the Houston secondary for the touchdown nine seconds into the second quarter.

Houston moved ahead 17-7 on Fairbairn's 33-yard field goal with 9:10 left in the half. Aubrey booted a 53-yarder for the Cowboys with 5:55 remaining before the break.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that Purdy emerged from the team's 20-17 home loss to the Seattle Seahawks a day earlier with a sore throwing shoulder. Purdy is considered day-to-day as the 49ers prepare for a Sunday road game against the Green Bay Packers.

Purdy passed for a season-low 159 yards against Seattle, connecting on 21 of 28 attempts with one touchdown pass and one interception. He also ran five times for 40 yards and a score.

A Pro Bowl performer last season while helping San Francisco reach the Super Bowl, Purdy is completing 66 percent of his passes this season for 2,613 yards and 13 touchdowns with eight interceptions.

Neither of his backups, Brandon Allen and Joshua Dobbs, has thrown a pass this season.

Purdy joins a lengthy list of injured 49ers that added Nick Bosa on Sunday. The star defensive end sustained an oblique/hip ailment that kept him out late in the game, and his absence was conspicuous as the Seahawks drove for the winning touchdown in the final minute.

Shanahan said regarding the chances of Bosa returning to face the Packers, "There's just as good of a chance for him to not play as play."

San Francisco tight end George Kittle sat out Sunday because of a hamstring injury.

"He should practice on Wednesday," Shanahan said Monday. "I know it was close (Sunday), so I think he should be good for practice on Wednesday."

Shanahan added he was unsure whether cornerback Charvarius Ward would return this week after sitting out two games following the death of his 1-year-old daughter.

Netflix will get to air a pair of NFL games on Christmas Day, providing streams for meetings between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.

Beyonce is scheduled to perform during halftime of the Ravens-Texans game, which could create more server traffic that Netflix will have to account for.

"We feel very ready and excited for the NFL on Christmas," Netflix content chief Bela Bajaria said, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sixty million viewers tuned into Netflix for the Paul-Tyson fight, with Downdetector.com, which tracks service outages, announcing that there were 90,000 issues reported at one point.

"This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers," Netflix chief technology officer Elizabeth Stone wrote in a memo issued to the company following the bout, according to a reporter at Bloomberg. "We don't want to dismiss the poor experience of some members, and know we have room for improvement, but still consider this event a huge success."

CBS Sports will be helping out on the production side of things on Christmas Day. However, it will be Netflix that is responsible for how the viewing experience turns out.

Tucker missed two field goals Sunday in Baltimore's 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, a defeat that pushes the Steelers into full control of the AFC North.

Tucker made a 54-yard field goal after missing from 47 and 50 yards to fall from the top of the all-time NFL accuracy rankings.

"The best option right now is to get Justin back on point because he is fully capable of doing it," Harbaugh said. "We certainly haven't lost any confidence in Justin Tucker."

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro moved ahead of Tucker by percentage points. Pineiro is the NFL's most accurate kicker ever at 89.4 percent (101 of 113) with Tucker standing at 89.3 entering Week 12. In 460 career tries, Tucker has made 411 field goals in 460 attempts.

The six total missed FGs this season (in 22 attempts) exceed his total number of misses last season (five in 37 attempts). He already has tied for the second-most misses in a season during his 13-year career.

"He's definitely our best option and he's going to make a lot of kicks," Harbaugh said. "I really believe that going forward. But it's up to him and the guys he works with every day, to make those balls go straight. He's going to get it figured out. We have coaches. We have technique, we look at the tape, he's practicing well. He's got to kick it straight."

It was only the sixth time in his career that Tucker missed two field goals in the same game. He has five missed field goals in the Ravens' four losses.

Tucker's field-goal percentage of 72.7 has never been lower through 11 games into the regular season.

Harbaugh said there is no point or purpose in trying to find competition to push Tucker this week or going forward.

"You'd have to find that competition first if you're going to be blunt about it," the coach said. "Where is that competition?"

The Detroit Lions surpassed the Chiefs to become the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl at several sportsbooks -- for the first time in the woebegone franchise's history.

The Chiefs were the unchallenged favorites to win Super Bowl LIX ever since notching their second straight championship last February. They remained atop odds boards despite several shaky performances and near-losses throughout their first nine games.

Before the Chiefs lost 30-21 to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, the Lions steamrolled the Jacksonville Jaguars 52-6, scoring touchdowns on their first seven drives and never punting. Jared Goff had 412 passing yards and four touchdowns in the Lions' eighth straight victory.

That combination of events put Detroit, a franchise that had not won a playoff game between 1991 and 2023, over the top.

"For the first time in the history of the franchise, the Lions are now the favorites (+400) to win the Super Bowl," Fanatics Sportsbook posted on social media Monday.

At BetMGM, the Lions are a mere +325 to win the Super Bowl, with the Chiefs at +450. They're the +350 favorites at both Fanduel Sportsbook and DraftKings, with Kansas City running second (+500 at Fanduel, +450 at DraftKings).

The Bills, who improved to 9-2 by beating the rival Chiefs, sit third on the board at each of those sportsbooks -- +600 at DraftKings, +650 at Fanduel and +700 at BetMGM.
