Stafford and Robinson also connected for another touchdown pass, and rookie safety Kamren Kinchens returned a fourth-quarter interception 103 yards for a touchdown as the Rams’ defense scored for the fourth game in a row. Safety Jaylen McCollough also intercepted a pass — his fourth of the season — and the Rams amassed seven sacks to send the Seahawks to their fifth loss in six games.

Actor James Van Der Beek said he has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer and has been “privately dealing with this diagnosis,” according to People magazine.

CLEVELAND —  The offense dominated in the first half. The defense made the flashy plays in the second. The Chargers added it up to a 27-10 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday at Huntington Park Stadium to approach the middle of the season with three wins in their last four games. Instead of maintaining sustained dominance on both sides, the Chargers (5-3) passed the baton between the offense and defense. They built a 17-point halftime lead and then went cold, punting three straight times in the third quarter. The defense then arrived with three second-half interceptions and came 44 seconds away from a second consecutive game without allowing a touchdown until Cedric Tillman tapped his toes in-bounds for a late 17-yard score. The list of key contributors sent coach Jim Harbaugh on a winding news conference that reminisced about his childhood growing up in Ohio, celebrated cornerback Tarheeb Still’s “one and a half” interceptions and praised receiver Quentin Johnston’s career-best 118 yards receiving. “It was a wonderful feeling of winning,” Harbaugh said with a dreamy smile. “A wonderful victory.” Quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 282

With many high-stakes races on the ballot, voters face important decisions on Election Day, from presidential candidates to state and local measures. While some people may fill out a bubble in each section, others may be unsure about certain races and wonder: is it necessary to vote on every item? This can be especially true with lengthy ballots that contain numerous down-ballot races, judicial appointments, or proposals that may not have received widespread media coverage. Grisly new details emerge in killing of Orange County woman found in trash can Though widely encouraged, completing the entire ballot is not required. Ballots that are partially filled — referred to as “undervoted” ballots — are still valid. So, you can opt to leave certain sections blank if you don’t wish to vote on them. “For example, a voter may choose to vote for president, senator, and governor, but not for other offices or ballot measures that are lower down on their ballot,” the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency explains on a website debunking election rumors. “Even if a ballot includes an undervote in a particular contest, properly marked
