red hot

Liverpool's red-hot start, Manchester City and Arsenal's faltering form and Manchester United already having changed their manager, top the agenda.

A change in quarterback helped the lowly Cleveland Browns stun the red-hot Baltimore Ravens, while the Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers both won with the last kick of their games.

Goff excelled again for the red-hot Lions, becoming just the fourth quarterback to record three straight 140-plus passer ratings with more precise passing that has him right in the early MVP conversation.

After a red-hot start, the Saints have cooled offensively in their last two games and will be without injured quarterback Derek Carr.

When play finally resumed, San Diego right-hander Yu Darvish, who spent much of the delay crouched behind the Dodger Stadium mound, retired three straight batters after issuing a leadoff walk in the bottom of the seventh to close a seven-inning, three-hit gem in which he held red-hot Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani hitless in three at-bats.
