Watt healthy, fierce
HOUSTON — When J.J. Watt and the Texans faced the Chiefs in last season's playoffs, the banged-up defensive end made it only into the third quarter of a 30-0 loss. Watt was healthy Sunday and so was Houston's defense, which set a franchise record by recovering three fumbles in the first half. "It's more about beating a good football team now than it is about (avenging) an old loss," said Watt, who recovered a fumble and had 11/2 of Houston's four sacks.

An Alabama man who shot and killed the 17-year-old brother of Bucs linebacker Kwon Alexander in 2015 was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday, the Anniston (Ala.) Star reported.
ST. PETERSBURG — It was still a game in the fifth inning when LHP Blake Snell walked the leadoff batter, then allowed a single. One swing by the Cubs' Ian Happ (22 home runs) could put a dent in the Rays' three-run lead.
ST. PETERSBURG — The first foray back to the Trop by the best manager the Rays have had obscured the second return visit by arguably the second-best player in franchise history.
Figures.
One success story of this lost season is the emergence of LHP Blake Snell as the frontline starter the Rays projected. After a rough start and two demotions, he has been rolling, Wednesday's solid seven innings making him 4-0, 2.57 in his past eight starts.
