It was too little too late. The Browns rallied past a double digit deficit late in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to overcome an otherwise uneven performance against the Titans Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium. Instead, Cleveland fell to Tennessee, 28-26, and remains in pursuit of its first win of the season. While […]

October 17, 2016 by
A furious second half with a flurry of goals saw Columbus Crew SC’s comeback against the New York Red Bulls fall just short at Red Bull Arena on Sunday in Harrison, N.J.

Blue Jackets drop season opener to Bruins 6-3
October 14, 2016 by
It’s no secret that the Blue Jackets want to play faster this year. They want to take more chances. There was evidence of both on opening night at Nationwide Arena – in front of a sold-out crowd of 18,144 – but as John Tortorella said earlier this week, the aggressive mentality should not come at […]

The Patriots veteran quarterback made his season debut and, in the process, powered New England to 33-13 win over the Browns. Brady, who returned from a four-game suspension, passed for more than […]
Cowboys down Bengals 28-14
October 10, 2016 by
The two perceived strengths that should be carrying the Bengals through the early part of the season, their offensive line and the defense, have to be put into the dreaded underachieving category after they fell to 2-3 in the face of a 28-14 loss to the Cowboys that Bengals cornerback Adam Jones called “embarrassing.” For […]

October 10, 2016 by
J.T. Barrett ran for 137 yards and a touchdown and passed for another score Saturday and Ohio State beat Indiana 38-17.
