Billy Howton, a former Packers star regarded as one of the most productive wide receivers of the pre-Super Bowl era as well as a founder and the first president of the NFL Players Association, has died. He was 95.

Ravens rookie LaJohntay Wester correctly predicted he would return a punt for a touchdown.

Joe Burrow was nearly flawless and threw a couple of touchdowns in Cincinnati's preseason opener in Philadelphia, but the Bengals committed eight penalties for 68 yards and made too many avoidable mistakes in Thursday night's loss.
