Crew chiefs feel the heat to be perfect in NASCAR finale

Crew chiefs feel the heat to be perfect in NASCAR finale
By JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The pressure will be intense in NASCAR’s championship race at Phoenix Raceway for both the drivers and their team leaders. There is no practice or qualifying under COVID-19 protocols, so the cars must be dialed-in when they are unloaded on race day. The field this year includes Paul Wolfe, the only crew chief with a championship. Wolfe, Chris Gabehart and Alan Gustafson have all raced in this format before while Jeremy Bullins is making his championship debut. Only Denny Hamlin and Gabehart have experience working together in the winner-take-all title-deciding race.

Baltimore Ravens All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey says he has tested positive for the coronavirus. In a post on Twitter, Humphrey wrote Monday: “I got the Rona hopefully I’ll be back healthy soon.” Humphrey missed practice last Wednesday with what the team described as an “illness” but returned Thursday and played in Sunday’s 28-24 loss to Pittsburgh. Green Bay also reported having a player test positive, and the Browns said they would hold meetings remotely on Monday after an active player was experiencing symptoms of the coronavirus.

Moving on up: LB Williamson goes from Jets to Steelers

Moving on up: LB Williamson goes from Jets to Steelers
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr. AP Pro Football Writer
NEW YORK (AP) — Linebacker Avery Williamson is going from winless to undefeated. The Pittsburgh Steelers, who are 7-0, have acquired Williamson from the 0-8 New York Jets. The Jets also sent a 2022 seventh-round draft pick to the Steelers for Pittsburgh’s 2022 fifth-rounder. The deal moves Williamson from one of the NFL’s worst teams to one of its best. The Steelers have yet to lose but are in need of depth at inside linebacker following a season-ending injury to rising star Devin Bush last month. Williamson is in the final year of a three-year contract he signed with the Jets in 2018.

Under pressure: Steelers’ sack streak at 63 and counting

Under pressure: Steelers’ sack streak at 63 and counting
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers will take the third-longest sack streak in NFL history with them when they travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens. The Steelers have had at least one sack in 63 games, five short of the record set by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers between 1999 and 2003. Pittsburgh will have its hands full extending its streak to 65 games when it takes on Baltimore and reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson. Jackson is one of the league’s most dynamic players, though the Steelers sacked him five times when the teams met in Pittsburgh last season.

Steelers dominate early, hold off Titans for 27-24 win

Steelers dominate early, hold off Titans for 27-24 win
By TERESA M. WALKER AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers stand alone as the AFC’s last undefeated team thanks to a dominant start and a bit of late luck. Ben Roethlisberger threw two touchdown passes to Diontae Johnson, and the Steelers remained perfect by holding off Tennessee 27-24 Sunday in a game originally scheduled for Oct. 4 and rescheduled by the Titans with the NFL’s first COVID-19 outbreak during the season. Stephen Gostkowski, who made a 51-yarder earlier in Tennessee’s comeback try, missed a 45-yarder wide right with 14 seconds left that sent the Steelers running around in celebration.
