Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles suffered a serious-looking knee injury in their game against the Chicago Bears. Early reports propose it could be an ACL tear,but hes still being evaluated.[br] 8.43pm BSTHello everyone welcome to the Guardian’s coverage of what should be an… eventful game between the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys.
