Oakland Raiders: Marshawn Lynch, who has remained seated during
the national anthem all season, was standing at the beginning of
the Star Spangled Banner in Mexico City before taking a seat a
few bars in. Lynch did, though, stand for the duration of the
Mexican national anthem. Lynch has not said why he has remained
seated during the national anthem. He wore a T-shirt before the
team's Week 4 game that read, "EVERYBODY -VS- TRUMP." -- Paul
Gutierrez
New York Giants: Olivier Vernon continued to be the only Giants
player to protest. He knelt during the anthem before Sunday's
game against the Chiefs, his second game back after missing four
games with an ankle injury. He has done so at every game since
Week 3 in Philadelphia. -- Jordan Raanan
Kansas City Chiefs: Cornerback Marcus Peters came out of the
tunnel after the national anthem was over before the Chiefs'
game against the Giants. This was the third game in a row he has
done this. Peters had previously sat on a bench on the sideline
for the anthem this season. -- Adam Teicher
Miami Dolphins: Wide receiver Kenny Stills, safety Michael
Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas took a knee on the field
during the national anthem before the Dolphins' game against the
Bucs. The trio previously stayed in the locker room for the
anthem against the Jets in Week 8, but they knelt in Week 9 as
well. Dolphins coach Adam Gase had established a team rule
requiring players to either stand for the anthem or stay in the
tunnel, but Gase recently told players that if they wanted to
come out and kneel, they could do it, and they won't be punished
for it. -- James Walker
Los Angeles Rams: Outside linebacker Robert Quinn put his right
fist in the air during the national anthem before the Rams' game
at Minnesota. Punter Johnny Hekker put his arm around Quinn as a
show of support. Running back Todd Gurley and wide receiver
Tavon Austin linked arms. No Rams players knelt. -- Alden
Gonzalez
New Orleans Saints: Most of the Saints' players briefly knelt in
unity before the national anthem against the Redskins, as they
have done in their past six games. They then all stood during
the anthem, with some players and coaches locking arms. -- Mike
Triplett
Tennessee Titans: Wide receiver Rishard Matthews remained inside
the locker room alone during the national anthem on Thursday for
the sixth time this season. Matthews participated in the anthem
before the Titans' game in Week 10, as the league celebrated
Veterans Day weekend by honoring the military. The rest of the
Titans stood on the field. -- Cameron Wolfe

Honorable mention to the San Fransicko 49ers, who first planted
this seed of sedition by hiring black Berkeley blatant racist
Harry Edwards, then allowing this un-American cancer to begin
growing while doing nothing about it.
America keep doing your part and putting the NFL out of business.
