The players are outside linebackers Matthew Judon and Tyus Bowser; inside linebackers L.J. Fort,...

BALTIMORE — The mistakes, the Baltimore Ravens contend, can be corrected. Four turnovers by Lamar Jackson are fixable. Of much more concern, in the wake of Sunday’s 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh, is how to move forward without All-Pro left offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley. Stanley suffered a season-ending left ankle injury...

CLEVELAND — The whipping winds, snowy mix and winter-like weather didn’t stop the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns didn’t offer much resistance either.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Cincinnati Bengals defense is in disarray, on the field and off. Multiple injuries to key personnel and an inability to shut the door on teams are glaring reasons the Bengals keep losing close games and are stuck at 1-5-1 as another dismal season approaches the midway...

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots were hoping the problems that surfaced during their Week 6 loss to Denver were an aberration, a momentary setback rooted in the outbreak of coronavirus in their locker room and the lack of practice time that followed. It turns out their issues might run much...

Coming off an unusual bye week that included daily covid-19 testing, a stay-safe directive and the addition of sack specialist Yannick Ngakoue, the Baltimore Ravens turned their attention toward Sunday’s AFC North showdown with the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers. Baltimore’s bye came a week earlier than scheduled after the pandemic forced...

CLEVELAND — The Browns finally had figured out how to best use Odell Beckham Jr.’s unique skills. They’re back at the drawing board now in Cleveland. Beckham won’t be a distraction or a weapon for quarterback Baker Mayfield for the rest of 2020 — at least. His season is over,...
