Before taking on the Denver Broncos, in what turned out to be something of a historic game Sunday, the Miami Dolphins honored slain Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Ryan Clinkunbroomer who was a diehard Dolphins fan.  Clinkunbroomer, 30, was killed on Sept. 16, in an ambush-style shooting while he sat at a red light in his patrol vehicle in the Antelope Valley. Just 36 hours after the deadly encounter, authorities arrested 29-year-old Kevin Salazar after a standoff outside of his Palmdale home in connection with the shooting. He has since been charged with murder. The Miami Dolphins honored slain L.A. County Sheriff's Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer on Sept. 24, 2023.

One more loss on their six-game road trip to close out the season and it will be the most in their 55 years in Oakland.  The 55 home losses are the most since the A’s came to Oakland in 1968 and equals the franchise record set in 1956 and 1964 in Kansas City.The A’s departed afterward for a six-game road trip to Minnesota and Anaheim, playing out the string of season in which ownership gave them no legitimate chance to field a contending team or even one that could approach .500.But rather than get booed off the field, A’s fans chose to cheer, displayi...

Allen added his first career touchdown pass, a 49-yard completion to Mike Williams on a trick play.“The first time we played them when Flores was in Miami, it was tough,” Allen said. “We didn’t know what to do. We were kind of mind-boggled out there. We didn’t know what we were looking at. They kind of fooled us. … So, today, I think we had their number on every play.”Allen credited his communicati...
