Six came from Adrian Clayborn, the Falcons’ situational edge rusher, at the expense of Smith’s overwhelmed fill-ins, Chaz Green and Byron Bell....

The party’s fault lines were present as Republican leaders gathered in Salt Lake City, Utah, to set a course for the GOP as the 2022 midterm elections approach. Some party leaders signaled that it’s time for the party to look forward to ways to broaden its appeal instead of being ensnared in the feuds of the former president, who remains popular with large segments of the GOP. “[Trump] needs to figure out a way to be constructive and not destructive: Help the party raise money; stay out of primaries unless there’s a really good reason,” William Palatucci, an RNC member from New Jersey, told NBC News....
