The Atlanta Braves have jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven National League Championship Series. The Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 10-2, in Game 4 Thursday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington. Behind a stellar outing from rookie starter Bryse Wilson and a six-run sixth inning, the Braves took the series advantage.

The Tampa Bay Rays had a shot to advance to the World Series and send the Houston Astros packing for the second straight night at San Diego’s Petco Park on Thursday. And for the second straight night, they did not get it done. The Astros have prevailed with a 4-3 Game 5 victory in dramatic fashion as Carlos Correa hit a walk-off homer in the ninth inning.

The Kansas City Chiefs just added a major upgrade at running back as they look to repeat as Super Bowl Champions, signing Le’Veon Bell to a one-year deal Thursday night, per CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora. Bell, who was released by the New York Jets earlier this week, chose the Chiefs over the Miami Dolphins — who reportedly offered Bell a two-year deal in a last-minute attempt to lure him.

In Kansas City, Bell will join Clyde Edwards-Helaire and the Chiefs will certainly form a running back-by-committee. Edwards-Helaire rushed for 344 yards in the Chiefs’ first five games, averaging 4.2 yards per carry. Edwards-Helaire also provides a pass-catching option out of the backfield, but Kansas City doesn’t have enough depth behind him — as Darryl Williams is the team’s second-leading rusher amongst running backs with just 35 yards.

Bell gives Kansas City more depth out of the running back position, which the Chiefs desperately need.
