Here is a complete breakdown of the Broncos’ 2021 schedule, including dates, start times and analysis....

Instead, Chubb stepped out of bounds after running 59 yards. It was the classic case of a player making a smart football play that frustrated those invested in the outcome across the country. Cleveland (6-3) beat the Texans (2-7), 10-7, after two ensuing kneeldowns by Baker Mayfield to pull out a low-scoring win and maintain pace in the AFC North. Why did Chubb step out of bounds? There was less than a minute remaining, and the Texans were out of timeouts....

The young signal-caller gave up three interceptions to Seattle, and first-year Browns coach Freddie Kitchens told reporters Monday that he’d like Mayfield to make smarter choices. “I think each and every interception kind of has its own story," Kitchens said, via the team’s official website. “To simply answer your question, I want Baker to continue to work to make better decisions and then we need to work around him to make sure that we are where we are supposed to be, how we are supposed to be there, catching balls and all those things....

Now that’s progress. Cleveland ended its 17-game losing streak on Sunday with a 21-21 tie against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who prevented the Browns from getting their first victory since 2016 when linebacker T.J. Watt blocked Zane Gonzalez’s 43-yard field-goal attempt with 9 seconds left in OT. The Steelers, who blew a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter, also wasted their chance to escape with a win when Chris Boswell was wide left on a 42-yard field-goal attempt with 1:44 remaining in the extra period....

The NFL MVP candidate threw for 202 yards and three touchdowns against the Browns on Saturday night, leading the Packers to a 24-22 victory.

Cleveland and Baltimore play after Pittsburgh and Cincinnati do earlier in the day with not much separation from first and last place. That makes every game in AFC North interplay hard to predict, as the Steelers and Bengals also went into a tight matchup. The Browns have quarterback Baker Mayfield dealing with multiple injuries and that to his supporting cast, but he will be boosted by running back Kareem Hunt and right tackle Jack Conklin returning from injured reserve to help Nick Chubb, Jarvis Landry, the tight ends and the rest of the offensive line....

Craig Whittaker, the MP for the Calder Valley in West Yorkshire, northern England, was talking to LBC Radio as the British government announced new restrictions on different areas of England after a spike in cases.
