COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Marcel Reed wasn’t always a quarterback.
He got his start in Pee Wee football as the team’s star running back. But it quickly became clear he could throw better than anyone on the team, so they implemented halfback passes for the young Reed.
That wasn’t nearly enough to showcase his athletic ability and by fifth grade he moved into the position that made him a star.
He knew it was where he was supposed to be all along.
“It just felt natural, just because obviously I got to touch the ball every play,” he said.

Yes, really. We can’t believe it either.
The Bears have seven wins this season. Five of those are one-possession games, and in every single one, Chicago had to mount a second-half comeback.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cincinnati Bengals do not like each other. That’s a fact that’s been reinforced over 55 years and 113 games between the AFC North rivals.
When Jalen Ramsey was ejected for throwing a punch late in Pittsburgh’s Week 11 win over the Bengals, it seemed like a logical venting of five-plus decades of gritty, physical showdowns. Ramsey has always been, well, let’s say boisterous.
