Steelers Receiver Emmanuel Sanders Signs Patriots' Offer Sheet

Will Anderson Jr. was a menace. That’s the simplest way to describe his performance against the Broncos on Sunday. Houston’s rookie pass rusher made his presence felt early when he pushed off Denver right tackle Mike McGlinchey before sacking quarterback Russell Wilson for an 11-yard loss on the Broncos’ first drive of the game. At the start of the third quarter, Anderson freely charged into the backfield for another sack.

HOUSTON — The Broncos messed around with the Texans and found out. The arms of Denver quarterback Russell Wilson are too short to fight with emerging Houston star C. J. Stroud. Even worse: Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton got clowned by Stroud for trying to intimidate a brash NFL rookie who refuses to blink. “I’m going to stand on business,” Stroud said Sunday, when he led Houston to a 22-17 victory. For Denver, this loss hurt far beyond the heart-wrenching end of a five-game winning streak and the damage done to its improbable playoff run.

The difference between a groove and a rut is all about the edges. Run a string down the center line of either, and you’ll find few impediments. On the margins, though, a groove is smooth. Precise. Designed to allow an object already in motion to stay in motion. A rut is rough around the edges. Bouncy.

HOUSTON — Broncos inside linebacker Alex Singleton was fired up during his team’s matchup against the Houston Texans, but it came with a steep price in Sunday’s 22-17 loss. The Texans faced a fourth-and-2 in the first quarter when left tackle Laremy Tunsil was called for a false start. But the penalty didn’t matter because Singleton was flagged for unnecessary roughness on the same play after he got into a verbal altercation with rookie quarterback C.
