Browns crash back to earth

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 Jets. ...

That spotlight is considerably closer now. So close that Warren is practically standing in it. Warren had a star turn during the Steelers' 34-22 victory over the Colts on Sunday, piling up 188 total yards and two long touchdowns while outplaying Indy's ...

CLEVELAND (AP) — After coming out of the bullpen Thursday night to get the final three outs, Gavin Williams will start for the Cleveland Guardians in Saturday night's winner-take-all Game 5 of their AL Division Series against Sean Burke and the Chicago White Sox.

Buckeyes ramp up intensity as tough stretch comes closer

COLUMBUS (AP) — Even though Ohio State is ranked fifth and posted an impressive road victory at Iowa last week, coach Ryan Day knows there are many more challenges ahead after the Buckeyes wrap up the first half of its season against Maryland at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.

"The biggest thing I keep talking about is that we have to keep challenging each other. And sometimes it's OK to challenge somebody and be wrong because you care enough that you want them to maximize ...
