Brewers take 2-0 series lead over Dodgers

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Thanks to a couple of big swings from William Contreras, the Milwaukee Brewers need just a couple more wins to earn their first National League pennant and end the Los Angeles Dodgers' championship reign. Contreras hit a tying homer in the fifth and singled home the go-ahead run an inning later as the Brewers defeated the Dodgers 7-4 on Monday in Game 2 of the NL Championship Series. Dustin May, JoJo Romero, Abner Uribe and Aaron Ashby combined to retire the last 15 Dodgers batters in order to give Milwaukee a 2-0 lead over the two-time defending World Series ...

Bengals embracing early bye week after win in Miami

(AP) — Zac Taylor wasn't happy when he first saw the Cincinnati Bengals' schedule and noticed an early bye week. However, the eighth-year coach is happier to have it coming up now after a tough three-game stretch that included Sunday's 31-24 victory at Miami where the temperature at the opening kickoff was 90 degrees with the trademark South Florida high humidity. "You kind of like it more toward Thanksgiving. But I do think just where our team is right now and the way that these last three games have gone down to the wire and guys playing through some stuff right now, it is a good ...

Steelers coaching staff proving flexible, proactive

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mike McCarthy is fanatically meticulous in his preparation. Just don't mistake that thorough approach with being inflexible. The Pittsburgh Steelers coach knew something had to change after several of his team's high-profile defenders — longtime defensive tackle Cam Heyward and perennial Pro Bowl edge rusher T.J. Watt chief among them — grew visibly frustrated during a Week 4 loss in Cleveland. "It needed to be different," McCarthy said. And during Sunday's 34-22 victory over Indianapolis, it was. Defensive coordinator Patrick Graham moved from the coach's ...

Browns’ 4th-quarter magic ran out vs. Jets

(AP) — Three straight fourth-quarter comebacks by Deshaun Watson had masked some deficiencies with the Cleveland Browns' offense. Those shortcomings were on display during Sunday's 17-12 loss to the New York Jets. Watson was under constant pressure but also failed to get rid of the ball at times. Combine that with an inconsistent running game, and the Browns struggled to move the ball most of the day, finishing with a season-low 198 total yards. The Browns have used the shotgun formation on nearly one-third of their rushing attempts, but that approach had mixed results against the ...

Hope wears thin for WVU

West Virginia Mountaineer football fans are an enthusiastic supportive group. They show up for home games in large numbers and create a boisterous fan atmosphere. The limitations of competing as a second tier football program are understood. We know WVU is not going to challenge for national championships at the level of Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, etc. Fans appreciate that winning is hard, and have been very patient over the last several years when results on the field have fallen short of hopes. But patience is wearing thin. Mountaineer Field has historically been a difficult ...
