Whether it's a quartet of players getting arrested for failing to pay

a tab at a British nightclub or a locker-room spat or a four-game losing streak White Robert Woods Jersey , things couldn't get much worse for the Jacksonville Jaguars at the moment — on the field or off it.A club that reached the AFC championship game last season and seemed to cement its status as a contender by beating the New England Patriots in Week 2 last month is now in total disarray."It's a good week for a bye," was the way coach Doug Marrone put it Sunday after the Jaguars dropped to 3-5 and tied for last in the AFC South with a 24-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Wembley Stadium.Yes, a break now gives him a chance to try to save the season.But there's little reason to think that's even possible at this point.Quarterback Blake Bortles' playoff competence sure now seems as if it were the mirage many suspected, and while he got off to start again after being yanked midgame a week ago, he led Jacksonville's offense to only one touchdown and four field goals against Philadelphia.The defense is dealing with injuries and inconsistencies and a sudden inability to tackle.A week ago, after a 20-7 loss to the Houston Texans, Calais Campbell was seen holding back fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue in the locker room, fallout from some postgame shouting and finger-pointing.The Jaguars are averaging just 11.5 points per game during the current slide.Their opponents? More than twice that, 28.5."We've got a lot to do," Marrone acknowledged, "in a lot of different areas."That includes out-on-the-town discipline and internal team harmony.Out into the wee hours of Saturday morning in London, safety Barry Church and three teammates were detained, although not charged Youth Rob Havenstein Jersey , by the Metropolitan Police over their bar bill.Church called the whole thing "a misunderstanding."Bortles said it had no effect on the team's showing Sunday.Marrone, though, conceded: "A lot of things that you do during the week have an impact."In case you missed it, here are other top topics after the NFL season's eighth Sunday:TRADE DEADLINEIf the recent moves are any indication, Tuesday's NFL trade deadline could more closely resemble what happens in baseball than the usual football humdrum. Some of the very worst clubs, such as the Arizona Cardinals (2-6 after edging San Francisco 18-15), should consider the example set by the New York Giants (1-7 after losing to Washington 20-13). The Giants sent away two defenders last week and could do something else, even if Eli Manning declared Sunday he wants to stay. What could Patrick Peterson bring in return for the Cards? Maybe Tampa Bay (3-4 after a 37-34 loss to Cincinnati) should think about getting something for Jameis Winston or Ryan Fitzpatrick or DeSean Jackson. We already know Jon Gruden's Oakland Raiders (1-7 after being beaten 42-28 by the Colts) are willing to deal, so perhaps benched safety Karl Joseph will follow the same path already taken by Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper.HALFWAY TO 16-0Todd Gurley and the Los Angeles Rams are halfway to 16-0 after a comeback victory over the Green Bay Packers. Gurley accounted for 195 yards — 114 on 25 carries, and another 81 on six catches — and a TD, but he also was smart enough to know when not to tack on another score. On his way to the end zone, Gurley let himself get tackled, so the Rams could run out the clock as they improved to 8-0 by beating Aaron Rodgers and Co. 29-27 after trailing 10-0. But what about all those folks out there who could have used the fantasy points? "Man Youth Austin Blythe Jersey , forget fantasy. Forget Vegas," Gurley said. "We got the win, so that's all that matters."SAINT PATRICKPatrick Mahomes just keeps putting up numbers, and his Kansas City Chiefs just keep on winning. Mahomes is only the third QB in NFL history to throw for at least 300 yards in seven consecutive games during a season, and only the fourth with four TD tosses in each of three games in a row. The other trio? Dan Marino, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. Not too shabby. After leading KC past Denver 30-23, Mahomes is already up to 26 TD passes this season for the Chiefs, who are 7-1.AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham in Los Angeles and freelancer Zac Boyer in London contributed to this report.Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at ://HowardFendrich The Pittsburgh Steelers bring the best wide receiving combo and top tight end twosome into Denver this weekend. Countering all that is the league's most prolific pass-rushing pair in Von Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb ."It's unbelievable, maybe the best one in the game right now, those two guys," Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said Wednesday. "We're trying to figure out a way to block them so we can make some plays."Miller, coming off his 100th career sack, and Chubb White Ndamukong Suh Jersey , the fifth-overall pick in the draft last April, have combined for 19 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 29 QB hits, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and one interception.That takeaway last week in Los Angeles, when Miller picked off Philip Rivers , was a game-changer and maybe even a season-turner for the Broncos (4-6).They had lost four games to the league's heavyweights by a combined 12 points before eking out a 23-22 win on Brandon McManus' field goal as time expired in Los Angeles, ending the Chargers' six-game winning streak.McManus had missed in a similar situation against Houston in the Broncos' previous game, allowing the Texans to escape with a 19-17 win for their sixth straight victory."This is definitely a team that is much better than their record shows," said Roethlisberger, whose Steelers (7-2-1) also face the Broncos riding a six-game winning streak .The Steelers present a huge challenge with wide receivers Antonio Brown and Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster 鈥?who have a combined 126 catches for 1,673 yards and 14 touchdowns 鈥?and in tight ends Vance McDonald and Jesse James Youth Aaron Donald Jersey , who have combined for 761 yards and five TDs on 43 receptions.With cornerback Chris Harris losing play-making partner Aqib Talib to a trade last spring and Bradley Roby going through concussion protocol this week, the Broncos will try to counter those duos with their own in Miller and Chubb, the NFL's most productive pass-rushing pair heading into Week 12.Both have a five-game sack streak going, and their 19 combined sacks are one more than Dee Ford and Chris Jones, each of whom have nine sacks for the Chiefs, and the Rams' Aaron Donald (14陆) and Ndamukong Suh (3陆).Even though he holds on to the ball longer than most, Roethlisberger has long been one of the toughest QBs to take down because of his size and strength. He's only been sacked 14 times this year.Miller has sacked Roethlisberger three times in four meetings, but he was held without a sack in their last two matchups, the last one coming in the 2015 playoffs that preceded Miller's monster games against Tom Brady in the AFC championship and against Cam Newton when he won the Super Bowl 50 MVP award."I've got nothing but crazy respect for him," Roethlisberger said. "Such a good football player and he really takes pride in his craft. He's almost scientific about it. His work ethic, his studying and all the stuff that he does, he is an incredible football player."He's only seen Chubb on video but Roethlisberger said he also has a deep respect for the rookie."It's high motor. He just goes. He seems to be very strong. At times, he'll just go right down the middle of a tackle and there's times that he's able to get around the outside with a little bit of speed White Marcus Peters Jersey ," Roethlisberger said. "Maybe the quarterback steps up and then he throws a spin move in there. It's just never quitting."I feel like he's watched Von and maybe learned from the best to do it."Miller, who was named the AFC's Defensive Player of the Week on Wednesday, won't take any credit, saying Chubb "is just one of those guys who's way past his years."And in the spirit of Thanksgiving, "I told Chubb today I was grateful and I'm appreciative to be able to play with a top-5 pick like that because he's come in, he's definitely lived up to the hype," Miller said. "He's definitely more than advertised and it's a true blessing to be able to play with a guy like that."
