1+ min ago (202+ words) The Steelers turned Buffalo's second turnover into the first points of Sunday's game. Running back Jaylen Warren finished off a short drive with a one-yard touchdown run and the Steelers are up 7-0 with 8:09 to play in the first half. The score was set up when linebacker Patrick Queen fell on a fumble by Bills running back James Cook on the Buffalo 39-yard line. Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after Warren scored, but officials did not push Chris Boswell's extra point attempt back 15 yards. They enforced the penalty on the ensuing kickoff and CBS rules analyst/former NFL referee Gene Steratore confirmed this was a mistake because such penalties on the scoring team need to be applied on the conversion attempt. The first Bills turnover came on their first offensive possession. Cornerback Brandin Echols stepped in…...

2+ min ago (311+ words) It's been a defensive battle between the Vikings and Seahawks on Sunday, with Seattle's defense coming away with the only touchdown of the game's first 30 minutes. Linebacker Ernest Jones intercepted an ill-advised pass by rookie Max Brosmer on fourth-and-1, returning it for an 85-yard pick-six to help give Seattle a 13-0 lead at halftime. The Vikings had gotten the ball in prime position to get their first points of the game after linebacker Dallas Turner strip-sacked Sam Darnold deep in Seattle territory. It was actually the second time in the first half that Turner strip-sacked Darnold, though the Seahawks had recovered the first. That was the most consequential sequence of the first half, as neither team was able to do much offensively. Seattle finished the half with 84 yards in 33 plays while the Vikings finished with 48 yards in 24 plays. Minnesota also went…...
