The NFL cheifs try to make peace about Appleby Ground Zero: Fighting in the street, urine through letter boxes and locals terrified into silence… FRED KELLY talks to the locals who are either fleeing or bracing for 10,000 travellers and their horses to descend

On a quiet residential street in a picture-perfect Cumbrian town, an elderly couple are hurriedly packing up their car.The fourth quarter started with the Chiefs clinging to the same 17-7 lead they took into halftime and the Ravens facing second-and-8 from the Kansas City nine-yard line.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson found rookie wideout Zay Flowers for what appeared to be a walk-in touchdown. At the last moment, however, cornerback L’Jarius Sneed knocked the ball from Flowers’ hands. Fellow cornerback Trent McDuffie fell on the ball in the end zone, giving the Chiefs possession on a touchback.
