PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sheldon Rankins returned a fumble by Aaron Rodgers 33 yards for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter to highlight a dominant performance by the NFL’s top-ranked defense, and the Houston Texans beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-6 on Monday night for the first road playoff win in franchise history. The Texans (13-5) play at New England (15-3) in the divisional round on Sunday night. C.J.

Chock and Bates, who won their record-setting seventh U.S. title Saturday night, also ...

Among the ploys the Bulldogs used that day: a nod to their history, including how Larry Kelly and Clint Frank won the Heisman Trophy for Yale in 1936 and 1937, respectively. Mendoza won the Heisman this season. Mendoza and Yale’s history are now colliding again. Yale is the only major college football team to finish a season 16-0, pulling that off in 1894. Indiana can do the same if it wins the College ...
