run together

The 37-17 victory in Cincinnati leaves Joe Burrow's Bengals 0-4 at home this season, 3-5 overall and in serious need of putting a run together before their play-off hopes slip away.

In their view, the very fact that a Black woman and a white football coach can run together as the happy-go-lucky, “normal” choice for voters makes its own kind of radical statement.

They had a dry run together on July 13 when they covered the attempted assassination of former President Trump at a rally in Butler, Pa.

While pre-round expectations largely centred on whether McIlroy could put a run together at a course where he won his fourth and last major in 2014, the man who partnered him to victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans earlier this month, was at the heart of most compelling storyline on Saturday.

That feels unlikely for a team that has put an astonishing run together of 16 wins and four draws since they were beaten at Aston Villa on 6 December.
