By DAVE SKRETTA AP Basketball Writer Gonzaga and Baylor maintained their grip on the top two spots in The Associated Press men’s basketball poll Monday.

By JOHN WAWROW AP Sports Writer ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — In what was supposed to be a showdown between Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, Taron Johnson literally stole the show.

Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and also ran for a score as the top-seeded Green Bay Packers beat the Los Angeles Rams 32-18 in an NFC divisional playoff game Saturday. He will play a conference championship game at home for the first time since taking over as Green Bay’s starting […]Read more...
