TERRY MCLAURIN

Two people with knowledge of the deal say the Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign DK Metcalf to a three-year contract extension worth up to $72 million and $58 million guaranteed.

Two people with knowledge of the move tell The Associated Press the Washington Commanders have agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with star wide receiver Terry McLaurin.

Dustin Hopkins made a 43-yard field goal on an untimed down, and Washington defeated the New York Giants 30-29.

Ryan Fitzpatrick says he did not need the public declaration from Ron Rivera that he's Washington starting quarterback.

When Landon Collins joined Washington in 2019, he told friends something needed to change. Since Ron Rivera took over as coach and head of football operations on New Year's Day 2020, he has entirely remade the team in his image. Just 18 players brought in by the previous regime led by former president Bruce Allen and coach Jay Gruden are part of Washington’s initial 53-man roster — a quick and substantial overhaul even in a league full of turnover.

"They’re an extremely well-coached team, a ton of talent on that defensive front, but Alex Smith is really the key to everything.”How is that possible?

With Christian McCaffrey out again, Curtis Samuel had five catches for 106 yards and was the Panthers' leading rusher with 52 yards on seven carries. 2 pick forced Bridgewater to fumble on a sack in Washington territory early in the third quarter to prevent Carolina from putting up even more points. Washington: Played without top WR Terry McLaurin, who couldn't keep gutting through a nagging ankle injury. Washington: Gets another chance to win the NFC East next Sunday at Philadelphia.

Matthew Stafford directed the final drive with just 16 seconds left to set up Matt Prater's 59-yard field goal as time expired, lifting the Lions to a 30-27 win over Washington on Sunday. Prater made a go-ahead, 37-yard field goal with 2:42 remaining. It made a field goal and had a punt, missed field goal and Terry McLaurin's fumble on the possessions. In the second half, Washington got into the end zone on 82- and 84-yard drives and had the ball midway through the fourth quarter down a touchdown.

D’Andre Swift has maintained a consistent role in the offense, seeing increased rush attempts since the Lions returned from their bye. Swift has quietly registered double-digit fantasy points in four of the last five games, with Detroit’s dud against Indy standing alone. But, for now, Swift is looking like the best and safest fantasy option out of Detroit in Week 10. He’s seen a team-leading 18 targets with Golladay missing in action over these previous two weeks. He’s seen seven looks in the red zone, adding a little fuel to his standing as an under-the-radar bargain play.

ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions will host a Washington Football Team going through some sustained uncertainty under center in Week 10 at Ford Field. While the instability at quarterback grabs the attention, this Washington team is all about its defense. That’s what I like about our football team is we got a lot of young guys right now that are playing, doing some good things. The Football Team is led by Chase Roullier at center and Brandon Scherff at right guard.
