MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico City’s Azteca Stadium is looking to put its best face forward when it hosts a regular-season NFL matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. Officials are hoping for redemption after last season’s game had to be moved to the L.A. Coliseum, a black eye for the arena and the league. Poor field conditions forced the last-minute change. The hybrid turf has since been swapped out for natural grass, and fewer events have been scheduled for the stadium.

WACO, Texas (AP) — The No. 13 Baylor Bears almost certainly won’t have to wait until next year for another shot at No. 8 Oklahoma. Give it about three weeks. It seems inevitable that they will meet again in the Big 12 championship game on Dec. 7 in Arlington, Texas. They are both 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play. Every other team has at least three league losses. Baylor and Oklahoma both need to win just one of their last two games to get in the Big 12 title game.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — New England is 9-1 after Julian Edelman hit fellow wide receiver Phillip Dorsett for a go-ahead, 15-yard touchdown early in the third quarter of the Patriots’ 17-10 comeback over the Eagles in Philadelphia. New England fell behind 10-0 early in the second quarter before Nick Folk hit three field goals to get the Patriots within 10-9 at halftime.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jimmy Garoppolo’s fourth TD pass of the day was a go-ahead, 25-yard scoring toss to Jeff Wilson with 31 seconds left in the San Francisco 49ers’ 36-26 victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Garoppolo had 425 yards passing but also threw two interceptions deep in Arizona territory that nearly doomed San Francisco.
