FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Darrelle Revis officially shut down his dominant playing career by signing one final contract.

Revis Island is closed for business.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr doesn't expect Kansas City's defense to change much without suspended cornerback Marcus Peters.
Peters is one of three defensive backs with two interceptions off Carr but he won't be on the field for Sunday's game at Arrowhead Stadium. Peters was suspended for one game by Chiefs coach Andy Reid for throwing a penalty flag into the stands last week. Peters also left the field, assuming that he'd been kicked out of the game.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Look who's back, and just in time to spice up a showdown between slumping squads.
Darrelle Revis is expected to make his debut with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and it will fittingly come against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs needed help in their leaky defensive backfield.
Darrelle Revis was ready to provide it.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Good thing there are names on the back of their jerseys.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Down a couple of scores and 30 minutes away from a loss to that would have turned a disappointing season into something far more dire, New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis decided it was time for a wake-up call.
The fact one was required against the winless and luckless Cleveland Browns is telling of just how things have been going in New York.
In case you haven't noticed, which is virtually impossible, Peyton Manning has gone to TV commercials full time.
Adrian Peterson and J.J. Watt are injured. Aaron Rodgers is struggling. Todd Gurley's breakout rookie season looks like a mirage. Megatron is gone.
Russell Wilson has been gimpy. Darrelle Revis has been mediocre. Tony Romo has been invisible.
