Around the AFCPost-Joe. Joe Burrow’s season-ending wrist injury is a potentially conference-rattling development. The Bengals now go forward with Jake Browning as their guy and, at 5-5, are going to have to find a way to mount a strong finish without an MVP-caliber player running the show. That’s a tall task. Seems like a long shot at this point, especially in football’s toughest division. They start that journey as 1.5-point home underdogs against offensively challenged Pittsburgh.All-Pro for hire. Seemingly out of nowhere this week, Indianapolis waived three-time All-Pro linebacker Shaquille Leonard.

With the Chiefs losing Monday night, the current best record in the...

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are two of the busiest shopping days of the year, and with the increase in shoppers comes the increased chance for shopping scams. Several ways scammers dupe consumers are through the use of fake stores, gift cards and shipping notifications, local law enforcement officials said. According to the Glendale Police Department, one tactic scammers employ is the use of fake stores to advertise great deals on social media. “When you click on the link it takes you to a lookalike website of a major brand,” Glendale police said. “However, the gifts you order will never arrive.” To avoid these types of scams, law enforcement officials recommend checking the spelling of the URL, as fake sites often have one letter that is off.  L.A. shoppers heading out early to snag Black Friday deals Fake gift cards are another common type of scam. “Scammers like to watch sites that sell gift cards,” law enforcement officials said. “They look for oppor...
