Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin had his second career multi-passing touchdown game Week 14 at N.Y. Jets, but Oakland still lost to New York, 37-27. McGloin completed 18 of 31 passes for 245 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, while rushing for 20 yards on two carries.

McGloin played most of the game, but did sit out for one series in the first half so the Raiders could get Terrelle Pryor some work. On McGloin's first series back, he threw an interception deep in Oakland's own territory, which New York returned to the Raiders' 4-yard line.

Both of McGloin's touchdowns came in the second half. He had an 48-yard touchdown pass to Rod Streater in the third quarter. McGloin threaded a pass between two defenders, and Streater took care of the rest. McGloin then had a 1-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera late in the fourth quarter on a 4th-and-goal play.

McGloin's best chance for a three-touchdown game came on a 22-yard pass into the end zone in the fourth quarter. However, his pass intended for Jacoby Ford was badly underthrown, resulting in an incomplete pass.

The Raiders are back in action Week 15 vs. Kansas City.

The Chargers have ruled the following players inactive for Sunday's contest against the Giants in Week 14: Brad Sorensen, Lavelle Hawkins, Crezdon Butler, Brandon Taylor, Stephen Schilling, Kenny Wiggins, Kwame Geathers.

The Giants have ruled the following players inactive for Sunday's contest against the Chargers in Week 14: quarterback Ryan Nassib, defensive back Corey Webster, running back Brandon Jacobs, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, linebacker Allen Bradford, tight end Adrien Robinson and offensive lineman Stephen Goodin.

The Bills' good luck with injuries continued in Week 14 against the Buccaneers, as none of their seven inactive players were forced to sit due to injury. Offensive linemen Mark Asper and Antoine McClain, tight end Tony Moeaki, running back Frank Summers, quarterback Jeff Tuel, linebacker Jamaal Westerman and defensive back Brandon Smith were all healthy scratches Sunday. 

Safety Earl Wolff (knee) and linebacker Najee Goode (hamstring) are the lone injured players on the inactive list submitted by the Eagles on Sunday.

Their healthy scratches are quarterback Matt Barkley, tackles Matt Tobin and Dennis Kelly, running back Matthew Tucker and cornerback Curtis Marsh.

Jets guard Willie Colon (calf), cornerback Antonio Cromartie (hip), defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis (back), wide receiver Santonio Holmes (foot, hamstring), running back Chris Ivory (ankle), wide receiver Jeremy Kerley (elbow), center Nick Mangold (wrist), linebacker Garrett McIntyre (knee), cornerback Dee Milliner (wrist), wide receiver Greg Salas (finger), quarterback Geno Smith (right wrist), defensive Muhammad Wilkerson (wrist) and tight end Kellen Winslow (knee) were all cleared to play Week 14 vs. Oakland. All of these players were listed as probable.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was inactive for a fifth straight game because of broken collarbone Week 14 against the Falcons. He was ruled out for the contest Friday even though he was able to take part in practice Thursday and Friday.

Rodgers will hope to return Week 15 at Dallas.

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill (thumb) is active for Week 14 against the Steelers, and that shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Tannehill was considered probable for the game despite the injury.  

The Jets are quite healthy as they prepare to host Oakland on Sunday. All 14 players on their Friday injury list are probable, including nine offensive players.

They are linemen Willie Colon (calf) and Nick Mangold (wrist), tight end Kellen Winslow (knee), wide receiver Stephen Hill (knee), Santonio Holmes (foot/hamstring), Jeremy Kerley (elbow) and Greg Salas (finger), running back Chris Ivory (ankle) and quarterback Geno Smith (wrist).

Running backs Daniel Thomas (ankle) and Lamar Miller (pectoral) and quarterback Ryan Tannehill (thumb) are the only offensive players on the injury report released Friday by the Dolphins. Thomas is questionable for Sunday at Pittsburgh while the others are probable.
