A bend-don’t-break sort of effort was unable to lift the Browns to their first win. Instead, Cleveland had trouble slowing the dynamic running back Le’Veon Bell and was unable to jump start its own offense, falling to the Steelers, 24-9, on a blustery Sunday afternoon at FirstEnergy Stadium. Trailing by eight points with 3:44 to […]

November 21, 2016 by
Stunned by the loss of Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green on the second snap of Sunday’s game at Paul Brown Stadium and two missed extra points by Mike Nugent, the Bengals couldn’t overcome it and lost a crushing 16-12 game to the Bills before 61,356.

November 18, 2016 by
JaQuan Lyle scored 20 points and Jae’Sean Tate added 14 as Ohio State beat Providence 72-67 on Thursday night.

Cavaliers down Hornets 100-93
November 14, 2016 by
Despite the Cavaliers’ stellar record three weeks into the season, the recipe has been pretty similar from game-to-game: A major helping of the Big Three with a dash of J.R. Smith and pinch of key plays from the bench. But the home cookin’ had a little different flavor on Sunday afternoon – with Cleveland’s bench […]
Blue Jackets smack Blues 8-4
November 14, 2016 by
John Tortorella and his coaching staff talked before Saturday night’s game about the importance of this particular game. He called it a “culture game” for his young team – how would they respond after a lopsided loss in Boston two nights ago? In short, he saw some good and some bad, but more good than […]
Buckeyes whip Maryland 62-3
November 14, 2016 by
Ohio State seems to be getting into a rut – the good kind that can lead to championships. J.T. Barrett accounted for four touchdowns, Curtis Samuel scored three TDs and the sixth-ranked Buckeyes enjoyed another 62-3 rout – this time, against Maryland on Saturday. After beating then-No. 10 Nebraska by the identical score last week, […]

The defeat marks Cleveland’s first loss of the […]

The pair of first-year players combined for 339 yards and five touchdowns to drop […]
Buckeyes whip Cornhuskers 62-3
November 7, 2016 by
Urban Meyer seemed to be feeling pretty good about his team in the week leading up to Ohio State’s game against Nebraska. Despite three previous weeks of tight games – including a stinging loss – spotty offense and a general lack of ”explosiveness,” the Buckeyes coach exuded confidence. ”No, I’ve been going to acting school,” […]
