Daniel Jones scampered for two rushing touchdowns, and the Giants ran for 262 yards in Sunday’ s 20-12 win over the Chicago Bears behind Saquon Barkley’ s 146 on a career-high 31 carries. But Jones and backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor both sustained...
The Ravens have trailed for just 14 seconds of the 120 minutes they’ ve played in Baltimore this season, but from that portrait of apparent superiority there emerge only stark realities: a historic collapse in their home opener, a second-half flop Sunday against the Super Bowl favorites, two would-be wins spoiled by defensive miscommunications and offensive...
