NFL – Steelers not getting ahead of themselves against 0-8 Lions
The Pittsburgh Steelers say they’re taking nothing for granted when they face winless Detroit. The Steelers are riding a four-game winning streak following a 1-3 start that has thrust them into contention in the AFC North. Despite his team’s surge, Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger says the Steelers know they have a long way to go. Detroit is the NFL’s last winless team at 0-8. The Lions are hopeful veteran left tackle Taylor Decker can make his 2021 debut. Decker missed the first two months of the season due to a finger injury. The Lions are seeking their first win in Pittsburgh since 1955.
NFL – Superman II: Panthers bring QB Cam Newton back home
Cam Newton is returning to the franchise that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2011. The team signed Newton to a one-year contract after starter Sam Darnold suffered an incomplete fracture of his shoulder blade in last week’s 24-6 loss to the New England Patriots. Panthers coach Matt Rhule said P.J. Walker will start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Matt Barkley, signed off the Tennessee Titans practice squad, is slated to be his backup. Newton passed his physical exam and his playing status for this week will depend on how quickly he picks up the team’s offense. He’s expected to compete for a starting job beginning next week.’

MLB – Quiet GM meetings end without hint of CBA resolution
Despite an offseason that figures to be different than any since baseball’s last labor stoppage in 1994-95, the general manger meetings went on as planned in Southern California. A looming lockout at the expiration of baseball’s collective bargaining agreement Dec. 1 didn’t change much for heads of baseball operations who say the week was “business as usual.” League and union officials bargained Tuesday and Wednesday, but there’s no indication that a deal is anywhere close.
