The Browns picked off Rudolph four times total in their 21-7 win and recorded four sacks, but the biggest blow Rudolph took was from Myles Garrett, the Cleveland edge-rusher who smashed Rudolph in the head with Rudolph’s dislodged helmet. The incident will almost certainly overshadow a solid victory by the Browns, and hefty suspensions and fines are a near-certainty. Pittsburgh was also dealt injury blows to receivers Juju Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Diontae Johnson (head) and running back James Conner (shoulder)....

The Jets (1-8 SU and 1-7-1 ATS) are pitchers who once threw 98 mph with movement but now throw in the low-90s – and they have no dependable second pitch. The Jets’ defense, so strong in Rex Ryan’s best seasons, is on pace to allow 43 touchdown passes and record just two interceptions.

Stephen Curry is (arguably) the best player in the world, and one night of not wowing us every time he touches the ball won’t change that. Winning always trumps any individual feat, especially when a group of 12 men is vying for the best record ever. Now that we’ve covered all that, let’s state another fact: The Warriors won the game 115-112 Saturday night, but Clippers reserve Jamal Crawford stole the show from the reigning MVP on national TV....
