Follow us here for updates and frequent updates on all Sunday NFL games. Come back after "Sunday Night Football" for an overview of the greatest moments and trends to watch.
As the NFL's "Breakfast at Wembley" is about to begin, Sunday's big news comes back to the United States. The official word, Rob Gronkowski, will not be opposed to the Bears.
Gronkowski, who suffers from ankle and back injuries, has not made the trip with the team to Chicago, but should be ready to play on Oct. 29 against the Bills. The Bears are one of five teams that Tom Brady has never lost and if this series of things has to continue, it will be without the tight end of the star.
The Titans and Chargers are underway in London (on CBS), with the Chargers up 10-6 at halftime. Phillip Rivers completed 5 of 8 passes for 153 yards and one touchdown; Marcus Mariota completed 14 of his 18 passes for 150 yards, with an interception just before the half.
Nobody can get enough offense: Look no further than Sunday night's match for a glimpse of what makes NFL owners and officials smile. Chiefs and patriots scored 83 points, which was a ridiculous anomaly. This year, there have been three games in which both teams scored at least 40 points. In the last four years, there were only two. Is this the week the defenses fit? Probably not, since what is happening is largely helped by rule changes that protect shifts and emphasize safety.
One wonders: what is the limit?
What's better than offensive explosions? Close games, what is it? In the first six weeks, 54 games were decided on a score, according to the NFL, which equates to the 1999 season for the best in the history of the NFL. Twenty-eight of those games were decided by three points or less, second place in the history of the NFL until week 6 (there were 35 in 1999). In each of the first six weeks, at least one game was extended, the first time since the introduction of the regular season rule in 1974.
An oddity of diffusion: For the first time since 1993, CBS will be televising a Cowboys-Redskins match, Jim Nantz and Tony Romo making the FedEx Field call. "I can not even contain my enthusiasm," Jim Nantz told The Post's Ben Strauss. "It will be 9,065 days since the last time I did it." (Read more)
Brees is here again: Drew Brees will be looking to become the third NFL player to beat all 32 teams when the Saints face the Ravens, against which he is 0-4. (The other two QB's – Peyton Manning and Brett Favre.) And with his next touchdown pass, Brees will join Manning, Favre and Tom Brady as the only players in NFL history to have pitched 500 goals.

Curry and McCoy come out: The defensive back of the Buccaneers Vinny Curry (ankle) and defensive forward Gerald McCoy (calf) will not play against the Browns.

Update from Deshaun Watson: The quarterback chest injury Texans Deshaun Watson was described last week as a broken rib and a partially collapsed lung, but Watson pointed out that he was running no danger. "Of course, I would not be here if it did not cause any more problems," Watson said. "I talked to my family about it [and] the doctors and everything, and everything was fine. That's the only reason I was there. He neither confirmed nor denied the report and was classified as limited at the beginning of the sixth week.
No Kupp for Rams: Coach Sean McVay said as early as Thursday and that it was "cautious" to eliminate wide receiver Conner Kupp because of a knee injury. Josh Reynolds is expected to join Brandin Cooks and Robert Woods in three-wide receivers.

Crowder out: Wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) will not play against the Cowboys and receiver Paul Richardson (shoulder / knee) and security guard Troy Apke (hamstring) are questionable.

The wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) will miss a few weeks, announced the team.
Bengals' Bernard out: The Bengals Giovani Bernard (knee) and center Billy Price (foot) will not play against the Chiefs; security Shawn Williams (elbow) is questionable. The safety of Chiefs Eric Murray (ankle) and linebacker Tanoh Kpassagnon (ankle) are debatable. Mitch Morse's center (concussion) was sidelined and safety Eric Berry (heel) and linebacker Justin Houston (hamstring) are considered dubious.
Still no Fournette: Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) will miss his third consecutive game against the Texans. cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) is also out. Defenders Calais Campbell (ankle / hip) and cornerback Tre Herndon (hamstring) are debatable.
