LIV golf players face tight deadline on their future

(AP) — For the second time in nine months, players who took the Saudi riches of LIV Golf are facing a tight deadline on their future. The first was a lot easier to ignore. Brooks Koepka in January became the first LIV player to return to the PGA Tour under financial penalties that included no access to equity grants for five years. CEO Brian Rolapp then offered the same deal to Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith. They had three weeks to decide and none took it. Why should they? The United States was not at war with Iran. Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund was still ...

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 ...

Allen, Bills outlast Rams for overtime victory

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Josh Allen realized that his extraordinary efforts throughout this frenetic game might all amount to nothing Monday night when the Buffalo Bills fumbled deep in Rams territory early in overtime. The Bills' defense — and Greg Rousseau's outstretched hand — somehow gave him one more chance, and Allen again did everything necessary to get Tyler Bass in position to kick the field goal that ended a memorable evening. Allen accounted for 331 total yards and two touchdowns, Bass made a 45-yard field goal with 1:55 left in overtime shortly after Rousseau ...

Williamstown boys top Buffalo for LKC title

WILLIAMSTOWN — It’s mission accomplished for the Williamstown boys soccer team, but not quite a job well done just yet. Xavier Graeber’s goal off an assist from Davis Harbour with 46 seconds left in the first half gave the Yellowjackets a 1-0 win over Buffalo in the Little Kanawha ...

Far from perfect, Buckeyes over Terrapins 45-16

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — His cheeks flushed the color of Ohio State's scarlet jerseys, coach Ryan Day didn't hold back from showing his frustration. Mistakes against Maryland are one thing. With a season-shaping gauntlet of games ahead, Day knows the Buckeyes can't make them again. "We've ...
