The NFL world is reeling after forty-nine ers owner Jed York was handed a six-game suspension and fined five hundred thousand dollars by the league for violating the personal conduct policy. The punishment stems from his arrest back in August after he attempted to solicit prostitution in East Palestine, Ohio. It is a stunning fall for one of the most prominent owners in professional football.
Shifting to the field, the Baltimore Ravens will be without their most dangerous pass rusher this Sunday when they face the Tennessee Titans. Outside linebacker Trey Hendrickson underwent surgery on a broken finger and has been ruled out for the game. Losing Hendrickson is no small thing — he is the engine of that defensive front and the Titans will feel that absence immediately.
And in Cleveland, Deshaun Watson turned heads in a big way, leading the Browns past the Pittsburgh Steelers twenty-seven to twenty-four in a thriller. Watson was sharp and controlled, completing twenty-four of thirty-three passes for two hundred sixty-eight yards. Analysts are reaching for strong comparisons, and for one night at least, Watson looked every bit like the quarterback Cleveland has been waiting for.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
