The Latest on the seventh week of the NFL season (all times Eastern):9:56 p.m.The Arizona Cardinals lead the Seattle Seahawks 3-0 after a defensive-dominated first half in the desert.Seattles Bobby Wagner has the highlight of the night so far with a leaping block of Matt Catanzaros 39-yard field goal attempt in the second quarter.Lining up about 5 yards deep, the 245-pound linebacker cleared Arizonas offensive line and had a clear shot at Catanzaros kick. Wagner would have called a penalty had he run into Arizonas Aaron Brewer, but only clipped the long snapper with his cleat.Cardinals coach Bruce Arians tried to get the officials to review the play, but it is not reviewable under NFL rules, and Arizona lost a timeout to the botched challenge.Catanzaro later hit a 46-yarder for the only points.---6:18 p.m.Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman hurt his hamstring in the third quarter and was listed as questionable to return.Coleman -- who splits carries with starter Devonta Freeman -- ran eight times for 64 yards and a touchdown against San Diego before getting hurt.---4:46 p.m.Chargers defensive tackle Caraun Reid was carted off the field Sunday with a left knee injury and listed as questionable to return.Reid was injured midway through the first quarter when his teammate, linebacker Denzel Perryman, dove down and accidentally trapped Reids left leg under the weight of his body.

Williams remained on his back for a couple of minutes before he slowly rose and was led to the locker room.As Williams left the field, Landry walked over to him, said something and appeared chastened. The penalty was declined because Bills instead accepted an unrelated penalty on the Dolphins.Landry was penalized earlier in the game for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting.Williams missed most of last season when he underwent neck surgery following an injury that threatened his career.-Steven Wine reporting from Miami---2:17 p.m.Its Fitz Magic time again for the New York Jets.Ryan Fitzpatrick replaced an injured Geno Smith with 4:34 left in the second quarter against the Baltimore Ravens.

Walker reporting from Nashville, Tennessee---1:45 p.m.Eagles cornerback Ron Brooks was carted off the field after suffering a right knee injury late while making a tackle in the first quarter.

As the son of a veteran, Brownlee wrote, he was honored to be given the opportunity to sing the anthem -- as he has before.I am grateful for the fact I have far more opportunities to succeed today as a man of color than my ancestors who were alive when the anthem was written, he said.He added, however, that he cannot ignore how protests around the national anthem have escalated as of late. My fellow Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity brother Colin Kaepernick began the movement by silently protesting the anthem in hopes that the public discourse regarding race relations, police brutality and misconduct toward people of color would change.Brownlee said the San Francisco quarterbacks decision is an act of protest which I agree with and support wholeheartedly. The opera star said hes hopeful people are gradually moving toward equality in all areas, and asked himself whether he would sing the anthem before the game or stand in silent solidarity.In the end, I decided to use the voice that God has given me to sing, Brownlee wrote, to sing with the conflicting emotions that pull at my heart ... the honor, the pride, the frustration, the sadness ... Colin Kaepernicks message, the hope of my ancestors, and the sacrifice of those who gave their lives protecting our flag.And I will keep on singing until I can no longer do so.- Dennis Waszak Jr. reporting from East Rutherford, New Jersey.Cheap Nike Shoes From China .
