In Monday Night Football tonight Seattle visits Chicago.

Buffalo Bills cornerback Vontae Davis apparently retired at halftime of Sunday’s 31-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. “[He] pulled himself out of the game,” coach Sean McDermott said. “He communicated to us that he was done.” Davis started Sunday’s game but was not seen on the field or on the sideline in the second half. The Bills trailed 28-6 at halftime

With Josh Gordon’s troubled tenure with the Cleveland Browns coming to an end, the talented wide receiver has two places where he hopes to land if he is traded: the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys. The team announced Saturday night that it intends to release the former Pro Bowl wide receiver on Monday. Sources say that teams already are calling the Browns. The Browns prefer to trade Gordon out of the AFC.

The AP Coaches Poll has Alabama at #1, Georgia is now at #2, Clemson drops to 3rd, Ohio State is at #4.

Texas A&M is at #22 and BYU is at #25 after their win over Wisconsin.
