NFC notes: Giants’ Rashad Jennings hoping for third straight 100-yard game at home
Arizona Cardinals: Miami is the only team Arizona has yet to play since Bruce Arians became head coach. The Dolphins haven’t beaten the Cardinals since 1999.
Atlanta Falcons: Julio Jones, the NFL leader in yards receiving with 1,253, is dealing with a turf-toe injury and will be a game-time decision against the Rams.
Carolina Panthers: Because of injuries, the Panthers will start fourth-string center Tyler Larsen against Chargers. Ted Ginn Jr. has a TD catch in three straight games.
Chicago Bears: The Bears have won just three games this season, but a victory this afternoon would complete their first season sweep of Detroit since 2012.
Dallas Cowboys: Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott leads the NFL with 1,285 yards rushing and is second with 1,607 yards from scrimmage. He also has 13 touchdowns.
Detroit Lions: Theo Riddick leads all running backs with 12 touchdown catches the last three years. End Kerry Hyder has four sacks in his last four NFC North games.
Green Bay Packers: Aaron Rodgers is tied with the Saints’ Drew Brees for most red-zone passing TDs this season (23). Julius Peppers has three sacks in last three games.
Minnesota Vikings: Safety Harrison Smith probably is out because of a sprained left ankle. Anthony Harris or rookie Jayron Kearse is likely to start in his place.
New Orleans Saints: The Saints have won eight of the last nine against the Buccaneers, including four straight in Tampa. New Orleans has the No.1-rated offense.
N.Y. Giants: Rashad Jennings is aiming for his third consecutive game at home with 100-plus yards from scrimmage. He has scored three times this season.
Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles are 4-1 at home and have outscored their opponents there, 121-65. Philadelphia ranks second in time of possession (31:48).
RAMS: Rookie quarterback Jared Goff has thrown three touchdown passes and had three passes intercepted in three starts.
San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers are last in points allowed (30.8 per game), yards rushing allowed (169.3 per game) and plays of at least 20 yards allowed (60).
Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks haven’t won in Green Bay since 1999. They can can clinch the NFC West with a win and an Arizona loss or tie, or a tie and an Arizona loss.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jameis Winston has 15 touchdown passes and four interceptions over the last eight games, of which the Buccaneers have won six.
Washington Redskins: The Redskins have scored 72 points in their last two games in Philadelphia. Jamison Crowder needs two catches to set a career high of 60.
