Burrow, unbeaten Bengals visit Steelers

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Aaron Rodgers says he isn't worried about the Pittsburgh Steelers' resolve. Maybe, but if the four-time MVP and an offense that remains very much a work in progress can't find a way to take a significant step forward on Sunday when Joe Burrow and unbeaten Cincinnati ...

Intrigue surrounds Watson reception as Browns host Panthers

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The biggest question going into Sunday's game between the Carolina Panthers and Cleveland Browns may not be about the on-field matchups. It's probably about the reception embattled quarterback Deshaun Watson will get from fans in Cleveland's first regular-season home game. Watson passed for 238 yards and two touchdowns in last Sunday's 23-19 win at Tampa Bay to temporarily silence calls for replacing him with Shedeur Sanders. That probably will not be enough to quiet the boos from the Dawg Pound and other sections of the stadium where some fans see the Browns' 2022 ...

Cleveland signs beloved RB Chubb to 1-day contract

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Nick Chubb had a unique relationship with Cleveland, a football-silly city he grew to adore and one that loved him back. On Friday, Chubb announced that he was retiring with the Browns, who signed him to a one-day contract so they could celebrate a career that came full circle. Over seven seasons as a star running back with the Browns, Chubb gave his heart to what became a second home. Now, he'll finish where he started and finally get some closure. "A special place," he said. "You've got to be here to see it." More at ease with the media than at any time ...

Falcons light up Packers at Lambeau Field, 35-14

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Once the Atlanta Falcons finally reached the red zone, they kept coming back again and again. Bijan Robinson rushed for 194 yards and two touchdowns as the Falcons capitalized on the return of quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and trounced the punchless Green Bay Packers 35-14 on Thursday night. Atlanta (1-2) erased an early 7-0 deficit by scoring 27 straight points to take control amid a chorus of boos at Lambeau Field. The Falcons outrushed the Packers 242 yards to 17. It was a stunning turn of events for an Atlanta offense that hadn't run a single play ...

White Sox, Padres, Cubs clinch playoff berths

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chicago White Sox became the first team to follow consecutive 100-loss seasons by reaching the playoffs on Thursday, throttling the Kansas City Royals 9-1 to ensure no worse than one of the three AL wild-card spots for the postseason. They could still win the AL Central, too. The White Sox began the day one game behind the Cleveland Guardians. Chicago has three games left at home against the last-place Colorado Rockies, while the Guardians wrap up their series in Boston on Thursday night before flying to Kansas City, where they coincidentally have three ...
