Browns play host to likely Jackson-less Ravens

(AP) — Browns coach Todd Monken and Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley won't be in a sentimental mood when Cleveland hosts Baltimore in an AFC North matchup on Sunday. Monken, in his first season leading the Browns, was Baltimore's offensive coordinator for the previous three seasons. Huntley is expected to make his second straight start because Lamar Jackson is still recovering from an ankle injury. Both teams are off to good starts. Cleveland (3-2) can win each of its first three home games for the first time in six years and third time since the franchise returned in 1999. ...

Rodgers, Steelers embrace chess match vs. Bowles, Bucs

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Todd Bowles will have to be quite creative to surprise Aaron Rodgers. Known for his complex defensive schemes and disguising his blitz packages, Bowles and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing an elite quarterback who has seen everything in a distinguished NFL career. Rodgers just passed Peyton Manning to move into third place for most career passing touchdowns, including the postseason. It'll be quite the chess match when Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) face off against the Buccaneers (1-4) on Sunday. "Obviously, Todd has a history of bringing a lot ...

Broncos earn 17-14 overtime victory over Seahawks

DENVER (AP) — The Denver Broncos are atrocious on offense, depleted on defense and shaky on special teams. All they do is find ways to win. Ja'Quan McMillian intercepted Sam Darnold's pass in overtime Thursday night and Wil Lutz kicked a 53-yard field goal that gave the Broncos a 17-14 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. The Broncos emerged from a tough six-week season-opening stretch with a 4-2 record despite an injury-riddled roster and a shaky quarterback, and the Seahawks (3-3) lost for the second time in five days. They also matched their loss total from last season, when they ...

Notre Dame heads to BYU for top-10 showdown

SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — No. 2 Notre Dame has unleashed plenty of offensive firepower this season. But they've not faced a defense quite like No. 8 BYU's — yet. And it's these two units that will take center stage in Saturday's clash of unbeatens, a game that could have long-term implications for the College Football Playoff picture. "I think from the film we've watched, the biggest thing that stands out is how hard they play," Notre Dame tight end Cooper Flanagan said of the Cougars. "They have a lot of depth on the D-line. You see them rotate a ton of guys, and they're all ...

T-Wolves among teams that could add to NBA’s parity era

(AP) — Minnesota star Anthony Edwards is acutely aware of how this is the NBA's parity era, with eight different franchises winning the last eight championships. That stat might give some teams hope. Edwards looks at the situation differently. "I don't really have hope. I just got will," Edwards told The Associated Press. "I'm just all will. It's like, 'I don't think he's better than me. I don't think that they can beat me and my team.' It's just that simple. Whoever we line up against, you just not going to sit here and tell me that their team is going to beat our team. It's ...
