But as a Republican tax “reform” plan unfolds, that agreement is liable to dissipate in the face of reality. And while President Donald Trump will sing the praises of the plan unveiled Thursday, the truth is he’s not much for details and probably doesn’t really know much about the plan, other than it’s something he can boast about as an accomplishment in his ﬁrst year in ofﬁce. And that’s something the president is woefully short of after nine months of bombastic promises. Not that Trump shouldn’t be happy. After all, the estate tax that would likely hit him and others of wealth is going to be phased out. That’s ridiculous, as it hits very few people and only kicks in after estates pass the millions of dollars in assets. But it’s symbolic for the GOP and it pleases big donors. And it’s funny how Republicans who’ve long screamed about deﬁcits and the like don’t seem to mind that their tax reform will increase the nation’s debt by $1.5 trillion over a decade. Whatever happened to their breathless promises about cutting, not increasing, that ﬁgure? Otherwise, there are big breaks for corporations, which will please some in Trump’s base (though such cuts are one of the culprits in raising the debt) but are likely to necessitate other budget cuts, likely to come out of social programs. And while some in the middle class would get a slight break, and rules on 401(k) accounts would be left alone, the reform would limit something middle-class homeowners like, the deductibility of local property taxes (to $10,000) and a deduction for mortgage interest to new homes of $500,000 or less. That’s probably not altogether bad. The current limit is $1 million, which applies to a small number of homes. But the reform would eliminate the deduction for state income taxes. Middle-income people would beneﬁt from the increase in the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for couples, and a boost in the child tax credit. Before Republicans in the House, from which this plan came, start taking bows, they’ll have to ﬁght their way through those in their own party who know they’re going to hear some howls about See TAX | 5 THEIR VIEW Don’t let fake news dupe you, too A recent editorial from the Forth Worth StarTelegram: A couple of weeks ago the Washington Post published a story about a popular Facebook page called “Heart of Texas.” Over the course of 2016 and 2017 the page grew into one of the most highly trafﬁcked Texas secession pages on Facebook. At one point it had more followers than the ofﬁcial Texas Democrat and Republican pages combined. There was no contact information on the page and no individuals who identiﬁed themselves as leading the movement. The page was not real. It was a Russian front and Facebook pulled it down, the post reported. Bob Schieffer, the former Fort Worth Star-Telegram reporter and Face the Nation anchor, was in Fort Worth recently to talk about his new book “Overload.” He will tell you to be skeptical of what you see online. Vet your news sources. Don’t take anything for granted. Those behind Heart of Texas page exploited our gullibility. Russian inﬂuence has already hit Texas. It’s likely that some entity, somewhere, will try again. Once the news gets out — right or wrong — it’s almost impossible to remove. Research your sources, ﬁnd their “about us” pages. See if you can communicate with them, either by phone or email. Familiarize yourself with reporters. Schieffer noted that curated news is a thing of the past for many people. As you now choose your own daily news diet, please do so wisely. THEIR VIEW Prayer is not idle in wake of shootings In the wake of another mass shooting, the sides are assuming their familiar postures on cue. Mark ConservaDavis Contributing tives are circling the columnist wagons to guard their 2nd Amendment rights; liberals are calling for legislative remedies. Equally familiar is the ramping up of rhetoric. The right accuses the left of “gun grabbing,” as if any change in law is a sure path to conﬁscation, while the left accuses the right of “doing nothing” when restrictive laws are rejected. But this time, as Texas prepares to lay its own victims to rest after the Sutherland Springs church massacre, our prayerful regard for the lost and the hurting is met with the bitter mockery of those unable to process that not everyone agrees with their belief that limiting gun rights is the answer. If gun control advocates want to call for actions beyond prayers and good wishes, that’s one thing. But the open scorn for those expressions of faithful support brings the debate to hateful new lows. “Enough with the ‘thoughts and prayers’ already,” tweeted MSNBC’s Joy Reid, echoing a growing wave of derisive intolerance from the commentary and entertainment wings of Twitter’s left wing. “They were in church. They had the prayers shot right out of them. Maybe try something else,” added actor Michael McKean amid a torrent of hateful replies to House Speaker Paul Ryan’s prayer request. I am prepared not to care if the guy from “This is Spinal Tap” is scripturally illiterate. But I do care if one side of the debate following mass shootings is going to mischaracterize and ridicule millions of Americans. So to be clear: Those of us who turn to God ﬁrst are not advocates of “doing nothing.” Many of us favor addressing the actual problem, which is not a gun problem any more than drunk driving is a car problem. In this particular case, there may indeed be practical improvements we can make to the enforcement of gun laws we already have. Gunrights proponents will always cooperate with initiatives designed to keep people with sufﬁciently alarming criminal or mental health histories from owning guns. It is absurd that we do not have a national or state-by-state database that instantly ﬂags such people at the point of purchase. But equally absurd is the belief that there is something magical Congress can do that will prevent the next Las Vegas or the next Sutherland Springs. In some cases, shooters will be previously lawabiding gun owners; in others, they will have a murderous intent that makes violating gun laws a tiny matter. In either case, the myth of the legislative remedy rings hollow. Not every member of the gun control chorus responds to prayers for victims with scornful revulsion. But those who stoop to that level display a religious bigotry that reveals their sheer contempt for the answers many believe are the only real way to reduce these tragedies: a reliance on God. That path involves invoking God to comfort the grieving, as well as showing greater love to each other, particularly the mentally ill and social outcasts who tend to spiral toward such acts. It involves living our lives as examples of a Godly path that has better answers for racial hatred, embittered marriages, gambling losses and a host of other real or potential motives for recent shootings and the ones that may follow. The problem for many is that these solutions do not involve politicians strutting and crowing in a quest for answers that only they can deliver. Preachers of the Gospel of Gun Control are welcome to kneel at the altar of government if they wish, but others will choose to address the issue through the lens of a fallen, sinstained world, calling on God to redeem it, and each of us. That has the power to prevent more gun tragedies than any new wave of laws. Mark Davis is a radio host and frequent contributor to The Dallas Morning News.

Today’s Highlight in History On Nov. 8, 2016, Republican Donald Trump was elected America’s 45th president, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton in an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice. Republicans kept their majorities in the Senate and House. On this date In 1793, the Louvre began admitting the public, even though the French museum had been ofﬁcially open since August. In 1889, Montana became the 41st state. In 1892, former President Cleveland defeated incumbent Benjamin Harrison, becoming the ﬁrst (and, to date, only) chief executive to win non-consecutive terms to the White House. In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched his ﬁrst attempt at seizing power in Germany with a failed coup in Munich that came to be known as the “BeerHall Putsch.” In 1932, New York Democratic Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency. In 1942, Operation Torch, resulting in an Allied victory, began during World War II as U.S. and British forces landed in French North Africa. In 1950, during the Korean War, the ﬁrst jetplane battle took place as U.S. Air Force Lt. Russell J. Brown shot down a North Korean MiG-15. In 1960, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy defeated Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the presidency. In 1974, a federal judge in Cleveland dismissed charges against eight Ohio National Guardsmen accused of violating the civil rights of students who were killed or wounded in the 1970 Kent State shootings. In 1987, 11 people were killed when an Irish Republican Army bomb exploded as crowds gathered in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for a ceremony honoring Britain’s war dead. In 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush won the presidential election, defeating the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis. In 1994, midterm elections resulted in Republicans winning a majority in the Senate while at the same time gaining control of the House for the ﬁrst time in 40 years. Ten years ago: The Senate conﬁrmed President George W. Bush’s nomination of Michael Mukasey to be attorney general, 53-40. President Bush suffered the ﬁrst veto override of his seven-year-old presidency as the Senate enacted, 79-14, a $23 billion water resources bill despite his protest that it was ﬁlled with unnecessary projects. Dominican singersongwriter Juan Luis Guerra swept the Latin Grammy Awards, taking home ﬁve musical honors including album of the year, record of the year and song of the year. Five years ago: Jared Lee Loughner was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the January 2011 shootings in Tucson, Arizona, that killed six people and wounded 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Longtime baseball executive and Hall of Famer Lee MacPhail, 95, died in Delray Beach, Florida. One year ago: Democrat Zena Stephens of Jefferson County made history upon her election as the ﬁrst black woman sheriff in Texas. Today’s Birthdays Actor Norman Lloyd is 103.

And Republicans from states with large blue-collar populations — where Trump’s popularity has been shrinking — will likely, once the “reform” hits the Senate, have to make some compromises. It’s also dangerous when members of Congress, most of whom are worried about the 2018 elections and an anchor named Trump in the White House, get in a rush to pass something called “reform” just so they won’t be accused of being “do nothing.” And in this case, there’s the curious risk of being viliﬁed by a president of their own party, whose main objective isn’t really tax reform, but some kind of accomplishment to sign into law that isn’t just taking down programs from his predecessor. It’s said Trump, who seems increasingly nervous and agitated about the “Russia probe” led by independent counsel Robert Mueller, is anxious for something to be done by Christmas. But Republicans better be careful before they leave the tax reform box under the tree. TODAY 8 AM WEATHER 2 PM Foundation donates to The James Courtesy photo The Brenda K.

Williams finished fifth and Dellinger placed seventh. WILMORE, Ky. — Lucy Williams and Maggie Dellinger will represent the University of Rio Grande at the upcoming NAIA national championship following their respective ﬁnishes in Saturday morning’s River States Conference Women’s Cross Country Championship hosted by Asbury University. Williams, a junior from Athens, Ohio, ﬁnished ﬁfth in the 96-runner ﬁeld with a time of 19:35, while Dellinger - a junior from Washington Court House, Ohio - placed seventh after completing the 5k course in 20:05. The duo will next run in the NAIA National Championship, which is set for Saturday, Nov. 18, in Fort Vancouver, Wash. The top two teams in Saturday’s conference event qualiﬁed for the national meet, as did the top six individuals who weren’t members of the qualifying teams. Point Park University cruised to the team title with 46 points, while Ohio Christian University was second with 74 points. Rio Grande ﬁnished fourth with 102 points, two points behind Asbury for third place. Point Park’s Anna Shields took individual medalist honors, ﬁnishing in 18:22 and cruising to a 16-second win over runner-up Ariel Young of Ohio Christian. Also representing the RedStorm on Saturday were senior Tyanna Petty (Somerset, OH), who ﬁnished 31st in a time of 22:28; sophomore Kelsey Miller (Georgetown, OH), who was 32nd after crossing in 22:32; sophomore Reagan Haines (Hillsboro, OH), who placed 36th in a time of 22:41; junior Taylor Grubb (Thornville, OH), who grabbed 53rd place by crossing in 23:34; and sophomore Jennifer Case (McArthur, OH), who was 79th with a time of 26:23.

Payne scored 12 consecutive points over a span of 2-1/2 minutes to give the RedStorm a lead they would never relinquish in an eventual 74-65 win over Madonna (Mich.) University, Monday night, in non-conference women’s basketball action at the Newt Oliver Arena. Rio Grande improved to 2-0 with the victory. The Crusaders suffered their ﬁrst loss in four outings. Rio Grande appeared well on its way to an easy win after a three-point goal by junior Chelsy Slone (Gallipolis, OH) gave the RedStorm a 24-11 advantage just 13 seconds into the second quarter, but Madonna roared to life and regained a 37-36 lead at the intermission on a three-pointer by Cris Harper which just beat the halftime buzzer. The Crusaders kept the momentum going into the second half and grabbed their largest lead of the contest, 48-40, on a layup by Harper with 4:37 left in the third period. At that point, Payne - a native of Deep Water, W.Va. - said enough was enough. She was responsible for all of Rio’s points in a 12-2 run - connecting on a pair of free throws, two buckets in the lane and a pair of three-pointers - which produced a 52-50 lead for the RedStorm with 1:54 remaining in the quarter. Madonna did go back in front 53 seconds later on a conventional three-point play by Lindsey Hernden, but a bucket by junior Jasmine Smith (Canal Winchester, OH) with 29 seconds remaining in the period gave Rio Grande a lead it would never relinquish. The Crusaders tied the game at 55-55 a little over a minute into the ﬁnal stanza and were within one, 66-65, following a pair of Kacy Robinson free throws with 1:56 left in the game, but the RedStorm sealed the victory by scoring the ﬁnal eight points of the night. Payne ﬁnished with a game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds to go along with a team-best three blocked shots.

Browns exec calls sabotage ‘wholly untrue’ BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Sashi Brown did his best to explain what happened last week to the Browns. Hue Jackson wouldn’t talk about it all. On the ﬁrst day back from their bye, Cleveland’s top executive and coach chose different strategies to handle the latest embarrassment for a team that can’t seem to get anything right. In his ﬁrst public comments since a deadline trade with Cincinnati for backup quarterback AJ McCarron collapsed because of an administrative mix-up, Brown, the Browns’ vice president of football operations, insisted he did not sabotage the deal. The teams failed to submit the proper paperwork to complete the trade before the NFL’s 4 p.m. deadline, and the inability to execute the deal led to reports that Brown intentionally scuttled it. “That’s wholly it in time, a miscue that drew more ridicule of the Browns, who are 0-8 and 1-23 in the past two seasons under Jackson. Brown did not provide a chronology of the events that led to the bungled trade, saying that it wasn’t executed because the teams waited too long to reach an agreement. “I do think Cincinnati in earnest tried, I know we did everything humanly possible to get it done, and it just didn’t happen,” Brown said. “It’s truly that simple.” But there are deeper layers, and the botched trade seemed to underscore a growing rift between Brown’s frontofﬁce group with Jackson and his staff. Following Monday’s practice, Jackson opened his media availability by saying he would not discuss last week’s events. “What I want to talk about is our football team,” he said. “We have eight games left to play. untrue,” Brown said during a 26-minute news conference. “We were all in there together, Hue, myself and a couple other staff members that work on these things at the time we were trying to get the trade done. So I’m not worried about that internally, externally. I can just put it to bed. That’s just not the case. Nothing we would ever do. “To try to make up a trade to sabotage a trade just wouldn’t make any sense.” While unable to land a franchise quarterback for several years, the Browns attempted to acquire McCarron as a stop-gap answer. The team agreed to send a second and third-round draft pick to the Bengals for McCarron, who has a history with Jackson from their time together in Cincinnati. However, the teams didn’t settle on the deal until late in the process and couldn’t complete Myself and our coaching staff, we came here to win, and we are all accountable to getting that done, trying to win. That is what my focus is and what my staff’s focus is — let’s go ﬁnd a way to win a game this week. Brown did acknowledge that the team’s struggles over the past two seasons have placed immense anxiety on everyone in the organization. The stress of losing has strained people to their breaking points. “In these builds and in these moments, there is a lot of adversity that will put pressure on people and we have to stay united internally,” he said. “We are working together.” Brown doesn’t believe he will lose his job because of the trade ﬁasco — or his twoyear record. He believes owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam understand the difﬁculty in turning around a ﬂoundering franchise.

(AP) — Matt Kenseth, a future Hall of Famer, likely has two races left in his life as a famous NASCAR driver. The ﬁnal seat in the carousel of job options will be ﬁlled Wednesday when Stewart-Haas Racing is expected to announce Aric Almirola as its new driver. Yes, a two-time Daytona 500 winner and former series champion was passed over for a driver with one victory in 242 career starts. It is yet another seat that didn’t go to Kenseth, who embarrassingly has become the odd man out in a free agency period that has focused far more on salaries and sponsorship than talent. Kenseth, who told reporters over the weekend that he will take time off in 2018 , is hardly alone in his plight. Danica Patrick has nothing lined up for next year , same for reigning Daytona 500 winner Kurt Busch. Greg Bifﬂe quietly went away at the end of last season, and Carl Edwards announced his retirement after coming 10 laps shy of winning the championship a year ago. All but Patrick started in a robust economic period for NASCAR, where teams were ﬂush with sponsor dollars and could basically hire any driver they wanted. Jack Roush was the fat cat in the early 2000s, and he’d hold gong-show style auditions for drivers to see who got paired with his newest open seat. Kenseth, Busch, Bifﬂe and Edwards all went on to become stars in Roush’s system while launching lucrative and lengthy careers. But the math has changed considerably. Sponsors are paying far less for the right to advertise on a car during a NASCAR race, and they are increasingly difﬁcult to get. In the days of exploding popularity, a top team might spend $30 million to run a race car. Most of that money came from sponsorship, and top drivers were making $10 million per year. Now owners are running teams for half of what they did 15 years ago, and driver salaries are slowly being adjusted accordingly. If a team owner can’t get a driver that ﬁnancially matches the sponsorship level, then the owner has to pay expenses out of pocket. Brad Keselowski is widely regarded as the driver of the Miller Lite car, but Team Penske last week revealed its sponsorship program for the No. 2 car in pieces, and it only includes 11 races with Miller Lite as the primary sponsor. Discount Tire was sold the rights to be on Keselowski’s car in next year’s season-opening Daytona 500 and season ﬁnale at Homestead, as well as eight other events. The Wurth Group was announced as a three-race sponsor. Still, Penske was able to do what few others can manage right now: Put together a sponsorship package that is valuable enough for him to afford a high-priced driver. Kenseth struck out time and again in a search that began when Joe Gibbs Racing unexpectedly told him it was bringing development driver Erik Jones in-house next season, a decision that cost the 45-year-old Kenseth a spot in the lineup. The 19-year Cup veteran didn’t get rides at Hendrick Motorsports, which will see Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne depart after the season. Alex Bowman and William Byron will allegedly drive next year for something like $500,000 in salary. It is clear that sponsorship budgets have been decreased, reﬂecting in many ways television viewership for NASCAR races and attendance at various tracks. With fewer dollars coming in, car owners have to be careful to avoid paying too many expenses out of pocket. Driver salaries don’t seem to be a priority right now, and a guy like Kenseth would lose money on travel for himself, his wife and four children to some or all of the 38 races on the Cup schedule. Earnhardt warned earlier this year that NASCAR’s ﬁnancial system was in for a major reset, and it has happened faster than anyone expected. “On a big scheme of things, I feel like things have happened quickly, but yet on the other hand, it kind of does surprise me how, you know, the reset, hasn’t been totally linear,” Kenseth recently said. “Some people have been able to make it work, some people haven’t. Certainly right now is a very interesting time. “I think it’s a very tough time for car owners to ﬁnd the money that they need to ﬁeld competitive race cars with competitive personnel. I think it’s probably harder than at least it’s been since I’ve been around. And the cost is higher than when I started, as well. Certainly a challenging environment.” Tony Stewart had been exposed to the changing NASCAR sponsorship landscape once he joined Gene Haas as co-owner of their four-car team, but even he’s been surprised at the difﬁculties in ﬁnding funding. The team had a massive stock of open inventory on Clint Bowyer’s car this year, ran into a sponsorship dispute with Patrick’s backers right before the start of the season and Haas has been primarily funding Busch’s car out of pocket. For Busch to return to the team, he is likely going to accept a signiﬁcant pay cut. SHR now has Smithﬁeld Foods coming aboard, and Almirola seems pegged to continue a driver-sponsorship relationship he began at Richard Petty Motorsports. SHR could have Kenseth or even Brickyard 400 winner Kahne, but instead is going with the driver the sponsor is already comfortable with. Stewart is careful to note it’s not a sponsordriven decision, though. “I’m not hiring drivers that have money. I’ve been the route that in the dirt-track stuff. I’ve seen it, it’s not the way to run a race team,” Stewart told The Associated Press last month. “I know there’s people that have to do that to survive, but if that’s what I had to do to survive, I wouldn’t do it, it’s not worth it to me. “I want to hire drivers that I feel like can go out and run well and win races, and if I can’t hire them on their talent, I don’t want to do it all.” Stewart said he’d dump a car before he’d hire a driver bringing in sponsorship money. However, that’s essentially what Patrick did when she came to NASCAR with her GoDaddy Funding . When that ran out, SHR did ﬁnd her new sponsorship. Stewart believes the model needs a ton of work and the project begins with increased viewership. If ratings and attendance improve, the sponsorship dollars grow again. Until then, NASCAR is in a cycle where drivers such as Kenseth will be sidelined next year. He ﬁnished fourth at Texas on Sunday. He’s ninth in the standings. “You do this because you want to compete and you want to go out and try to contend for races and championships, and if you’re having to do it just to get by, there’s no fun in that,” Stewart said.

It’s possible he doesn’t have the answers. Ohio State was outcoached, out-schemed and outplayed at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday as the then-No. 3 Buckeyes watched their national championship hopes dissipate amid a chaotic storm of turnovers, penalties and panic. The 55-24 loss marked the most points ever scored against a Meyer-coached team. Saturday’s loss came a week after an exhilarating 39-38 win over Penn State put the Buckeyes back in the hunt for the College Football Playoff and thrust quarterback J.T, Barrett into the Heisman Trophy conversation. All that came crashing down in Iowa City. At his news conference on Monday, Meyer shrugged off questions about play calling, player discipline and other weak links. “I think Iowa played well, and we didn’t play very well,” he said, noting that everything is being evaluated. “The question you have to ask is why. Not so much how, but why did it happen?” he said. “Are we not practicing (efﬁciently)? Do we have the right people playing? All those types of things.” Barrett followed up what was perhaps his most heroic collegiate Charlie Neibergall | AP Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer walks on the field during the first half against Iowa on Saturday in Iowa City, Iowa. game against Penn State with one of his worst. He was 18 for 34 for 208 yards and threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted four times — including a picksix by Iowa safety Amani Hooker on the ﬁrst play from scrimmage. Barrett didn’t talk to reporters after the game, and Meyer said Monday he hadn’t talked to his quarterback about everything that went wrong. “He’s been on a nice roll with efﬁciency, taking care of the football,” Meyer said. “That was not normal by him, so we are watching it closely. I felt like he forced it, especially right before the half.” Meyer said he felt Ohio State still had control of the game when it was tied 17-17 in the second quarter. Then defensive end Nick Bosa was kicked out of the game for targeting. Iowa quarterback Nathan Stanley took advantage, tossing a 25-yard TD pass to tight end Noah Fant. Barrett threw into double coverage and was picked off again on the next series, and the rout was on. “A bunch of three-andouts, and (the defense) couldn’t get off the ﬁeld,” Meyer said. “Then you start panicking on the offense, and that’s not good for anybody.” Ohio State (7-2, 5-1 Big Ten) plummeted from No. 3 to No. 11 in the AP Top 25 poll and will be out of striking distance when the College Football Playoff rankings come out Tuesday. The Buckeyes are tied with No. 13 Michigan State atop the Big Ten East with the Spartans visiting Ohio Stadium on Saturday. Wins over Michigan State (7-2, 5-1) and Michigan would put the Buckeyes in the conference championship game, likely against No. 6 Wisconsin. But will a Big Ten championship be enough for the Buckeyes to play for now that a national title is off the table? “I think the theme of the week is going to be accountability,” center Billy Price said after the game. “We’re still in the driver seat for this right now,” he said. “That is ﬁrst and foremost — our goal is to win the Big Ten East.” Defensive end Tyquan Lewis, the only other player to talk to the media after the game, looked shell-shocked. He acknowledged after that he didn’t know what happened and was embarrassed. The Buckeyes will try to get it ﬁxed. “It’s not going to be some speech I give to the team,” Meyer said. “It’s a process, it’s a journey that we’re on, and there are plenty of great things ahead.” A.J. Green faces fine, no suspension from Bengals’ implosion CINCINNATI (AP) — Receiver A.J. Green faces a ﬁne but no suspension from his on-ﬁeld ﬁght with Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey, the deﬁning moment of the Bengals’ biggest meltdown of the season. Green grabbed Ramsey around the neck, threw him to the ground and punched him in the helmet late in the ﬁrst half of a 23-7 loss in Jacksonville on Sunday. He and Ramsey — who started the altercation by pushing Green to the ground — were ejected from the game. Green is known as one of the Bengals’ most even-tempered players. He apologized after the game for his outburst, prompted by Ramsey’s trash-talking and his shove. Both sat out the second half of the game, and neither was suspended on Monday. Coach Marvin Lewis declined to discuss Green’s actions after the game and then again on Monday, after he’d had a chance to watch the video. “He’s disappointed,” Lewis said. “He’s apologized for his actions.” There were several in-game altercations over the weekend. The NFL reviewed them and announced Monday that Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans was suspended one game for leveling Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore from behind during a skirmish. Spokesman Michael Signora said nobody else was suspended, but players could be ﬁned later in the week. Without Green in the second half, the Bengals (3-5) did nextto-nothing on offense. He’ll be available when they play at Tennessee (5-3) on Sunday, the second of three straight road games. Given how things went in Jacksonville, it may not matter much. The Bengals had one of the worst offensive showings in club history, generating only 29 yards rushing, eight ﬁrst downs and 148 total yards. They had the ball for less than 20 minutes and ran only 37 plays. In the second half, Cincinnati had only seven plays that gained yards. They also had two holding penalties by the offensive line, seven plays that lost yards, one that went for no gain, and six incomplete passes. “It was as frustrating a second half as I can remember calling a game from the sideline,” offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said Monday. “I didn’t add them up, but the feeling is we had as many plays go backward as go forward.” Rested and healthy, Steelers look for another 2nd-half surge PITTSBURGH (AP) — Darrius Heyward-Bey spent a rare fall weekend off traveling. That included a handful of hours in the air on Sunday afternoon, when the veteran Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver monitored a scoreboard that seemed to provide nothing but good news for the AFC North leaders. Kansas City lost. So did AFC North rivals Baltimore and Cincinnati . Translation? The Steelers picked up ground in the playoff chase and within the division without so much as taking a snap. Still, it’s not like Heyward-Bey jumped into one of his team’s group chats and started spreading the word. “We’re not looking ‘Oh, Kansas City lost, great,’” Heyward-Bey said. “Nah, they lost but we if don’t win, it don’t matter.” Then again, losing is something Pittsburgh has rarely done in November and December lately. The Steelers (6-2) are 19-5 in the second half of the schedule since 2014. Yet each surge ended the same: with a loss on the road in the playoffs. The goal is to avoid having to leave Pittsburgh in January at all costs. The Steelers are in prime position by largely steering clear of the early-season funk that backed them into a corner in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Sure, they responded each time. For once, it’s nice that they don’t have to. “We’re showing that sign of maturity like ‘Hey, if we take care of our business early, we don’t have to be biting our nails late,’” HeywardBey said. “That’s what it was last year and the year before and the year before. But we (can’t) get Enter To Win 50 $ Online photo submissions begin Oct. 13th ends Nov. 9th. Voting will begin Nov. 2nd thru Nov. 9th WINNER announced Nov. 10th play against the Colts. Still, they insist they remain a work in progress. By their own estimation, they’ve been OK but little more. “Our team did what we’re supposed to do,” Tuitt said. “To be in the position we are in now, we just need to ﬁnish strong.” They navigated the ﬁrst eight weeks of the season by relying heavily on running back Le’Veon Bell and a defense that is near the league lead in sacks, points allowed and swagger. “Our identity is to give 26 (Bell) the ball and let our best players make plays when they can, and that’s a great formula of winning,” Heyward-Bey said. A formula altered by the realities that the passing game is still a bit of an enigma. Sure, wide receiver Antonio Brown is on pace for another 100-plus receptions. But Martavis Bryant has been largely a nonfactor, and while rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster and his viral touchdown celebrations have been a revelation, he doesn’t turn 21 until Nov. 22. He’s still ﬁguring things out. So is quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has his lowest completion percentage and quarterback rating in nearly a decade. Longtime quarterbacks coach Randy Fichtner is ﬁne with Roethlisberger’s play while allowing that the realities of 14 seasons, nearly 50,000 yards passing and 466 sacks could be starting to pile up. “You get used to the Superman cape coming off all the time and it just hasn’t yet, maybe,” Fichtner said. “There’s been series, there’s been plays. There’s been a lot Virtual Costume Contest of really unique plays made.” Including the franchise record 97-yard ﬂip to Smith-Schuster against Detroit that gave the Steelers the breathing room they needed to get to 6-2 at the midway point for the ﬁrst time since 2011. Yet Fichtner stressed the issue isn’t Roethlisberger’s ability but the fact he’s being judged by the giddy heights of 2014 and 2015, when he led the league in yards passing per game. “What I think everyone, including ourselves, get caught thinking is that Superman cape should be coming off every play when it doesn’t necessarily have to,” Fichtner said. “If we protect the ball and keep giving ourselves a chance to win, that’s the end story, the end game, is to win the game.” It’s easy to enter.

It means push on the pedal.” Pittsburgh will get a chance to do just that while facing a schedule that doesn’t look nearly as formidable now as it did three months ago. The Steelers play ﬁve of their ﬁnal eight at Heinz Field, and their road games include visits to Indianapolis and Houston. Both of them, by the way, are without their starting quarterback. So is Green Bay, which will visit Pittsburgh on the last Sunday in November without Aaron Rodgers. Yet the Steelers are careful to not get lulled into a false sense of security. Yes, they’re in good shape. Yes, they’re almost absurdly healthy, especially with right tackle Marcus Gilbert (hamstring) and defensive end Stephon Tuitt (back) optimistic they’ll Non-Emergency Medical Transport (740) 645-2268 Proud Sponsors of 2017 Online Kids Halloween Costume Contest!! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
