Cameron Heyward didn’t think the New England Patriots’ decision to go for a first down on fourth-and-1 from their 15 was related to coach Mike Vrabel having faith in his offense or based on some analytical decision that suggested it was a risk worth taking. He also didn’t view it...

The rapture didn’t happen this week. Some people seem really upset about that. Personally, I’m angry because the Pittsburgh Steelers can’t get off the field on possession downs, and the Pirates never give Paul Skenes any run support. It’s giving me a headache.
