José Artur scores in stoppage time to rally Dynamo to 1-1 draw with Whitecaps
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — José Artur found the net for the first time this season when he scored in second-half stoppage time to rally the Houston Dynamo to a 1-1 draw on Sunday night. Brian White scored his team-high 13th goal of the season six minutes into the match on a penalty kick to give Vancouver (13-6-7) an early lead. The PK was awarded after Jayden Nelson drew a foul on Houston defender Griffin Dorsey. Artur used an assist from Amine Bassi to score in the first minute of extra time for Houston (7-11-8). It was Artur's fifth career goal in 232 appearances with the Dynamo and Columbus Crew. Bassi subbed in for Sebastian Kowalczyk in the 64th minute before collecting his third assist of the campaign. Thomas Müller, longtime star of Germany's FC Bayern Munich, made his debut for the Whitecaps when he subbed in for Jeevan Badwal in the 61st minute. Yohei Takaoka finished with one save for the Whitecaps, who beat the Dynamo 3-0 in Houston in July. Jonathan Bond stopped two shots for the Dynamo. Houston's Brooklyn Raines picked up a yellow card in each half's stoppage time, leading to a red card and a suspension for Saturday's match against the visiting San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. Vancouver will host St. Louis City on Saturday. ___ AP soccer:

Luke Hodge calls for AFL rule change as Harley Reid set to sign $25 million deal
AFL great Luke Hodge has added his voice to calls for the league to place a cap on the maximum length of contracts that players can sign. And leading commentator Gerard Whateley says he "shudders" at what an 11-year deal for Harley Reid could do to a club. The AFL is reportedly considering introducing a maximum contract length in the next collective bargaining agreement (CBA), amid reports Reid wants an 11-year deal to remain at the Eagles. Reid's management have reportedly suggested a new two-year deal that would then trigger a nine-year extension, and the total deal is believed to be around the $25 million mark. A number of Victorian clubs are also believed to be willing to offer the same money. Sam Taylor, Connor Rozee, Aaron Naughton, and Mac Andrew are among a number of players on deals in excess of seven years, while Buddy Franklin famously signed a nine-year deal to join the Swans. Speaking on SEN radio on Monday, Whateley and fellow commentator Sam Edmund said they believe there shouldn't be a cap and clubs should face the consequences if a long-term deal doesn't work out. But Hodge disagreed, with the Hawthorn champion saying: 'I actually don't mind the capped length of a contract. If it was put in there, Melbourne wouldn't be in the position that they are with three similar blokes (Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kysaiah Pickett) with long-term deals that they can't move because they had the heavy money and long-term deals. 'I know that is pushing against the trend of you guys. But what we have seen in the past is people in football clubs make shocking decisions through desperation, and I don't think the future of that club should be held to ransom because of it.' RELATED: AFL takes action after Collingwood denied in controversial moment Jobe Watson could deliver Nathan Buckley as next Demons coach Edmund said he doesn't think a change will be made anytime soon, and certainly won't affect Reid's next deal. 'I don't feel like it is anywhere near the here and now," he said. "It certainly doesn't come up in any of the conversations with the clubs, the CEO's meeting or anything of that nature. 'They have put extra protection mechanisms if you'd like for those really big contracts that require whole of board approval and the like. I don't think it is something that is coming in the here and now. 'And I hate the whole idea of saving clubs from themselves. These are adults, these are professionals. They know what they are doing, and if they are prepared to take a risk, then they are prepared to take a risk. Live by the sword, die by the sword.' Gerard Whateley 'shudders' at thought of long Harley Reid deal Whateley pointed out that a big deal for Reid or anyone else might act as a "cautionary tale" by the time of the next CBA. 'It can't be until 2028 anyway (with) the collective bargaining agreement and how players feel there. I do think by then, we are going to have a few cautionary tales," he said. "But I shudder at the idea of doing an 11-year contract for Harley Reid. As what if after five years - if it doesn't turn - of misery at West Coast and he wants to get out, and he still has so long to go. The downside is tangible. And if you're a great player, you'll be fine doing five (years), then three and then four rather than doing 11 in one go and throwing yourself into the complete unknown.'

Bears vs. Bills: Instant analysis of Chicago's blowout preseason win
The Chicago Bears hosted the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night at Soldier Field in their second preseason game, which came on the heels of a joint practice on Friday. The Bears came away with a commanding 38-0 victory. But, like most preseason games, that's not the important takeaway. With new head coach Ben Johnson using his starters for the first time this summer, all eyes were on him and his offense, most notably quarterback Caleb Williams. And he didn't disappoint. Right out of the gate, Williams and the offense were rolling. You can tell right away that schematically, the Bears run an incredibly clean operation on that side of the ball. It has been a long time, if ever, that things were run the way they are under Johnson with Williams at the helm. Williams was impressive in his preseason debut, where he got off to a hot start leading the Bears on a seven-play, 92-yard scoring drive that culminated in a 36-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus. On that series, Williams completed 5-of-6 passes for 97 yards, a score and a perfect 158.3 passer rating. Early in the drive, it became apparent that Johnson is going to scheme the tight ends open a lot. Both Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet had receptions that were key on that scoring drive. Williams and the starters played one more drive (which wasn't as productive as the first one) before exiting the game. Williams completed 6-of-10 passes for 107 yards with one touchdown and a 130.0 passer rating. To say that he was impressive would be an understatement. Johnson took some criticism for not starting Williams and his weapons in the first preseason game. This could be a result of previous coaches never utilizing the preseason, with terrible regular seasons following. The reports from training camp have been up and down when evaluating the offense, but this game showed that some progress has certainly been made. Once the starters were out, the offense didn't slow down. Both Tyson Bagent and Austin Reed led touchdown drives. The points kept coming all night. A noticeable trait that the Bears have on offense is the effort to block. We saw a handful of double teams, wide receivers like rookie Luther Burden III making big hit blocks to create room for runners, and a line that looked much better with the new faces brought in over the offseason. A bright spot when it came to under-the-radar players is running back Ian Wheeler. After his devastating injury in last year's preseason finale, he has come back to give himself a chance at making the team. Wheeler was the team's leading rusher with 19 carries for 80 yards and two touchdowns (and he likely would've had a third had the Bears not gone in victory formation). For a variety of reasons, plenty of Week 1 starters weren't out there on defense. Although they weren't going against Josh Allen in this game, they didn't miss a beat without any of their missing players. To give up zero points and shut out an NFL team, preseason or not, is impressive. Whether it was Mike White or Mitchell Trubisky under center, Buffalo was unable to get anything going enough to even make a field goal. Would things have been different if Allen had played? Of course they would. He's the reigning NFL MVP. However, what Johnson's offense is doing schematically, paired with Dennis Allen's defense, has the makings of a winner. The Bears accomplished everything they were looking to do in this game. Williams operated an offense with his new head coach in his ears in front of a Soldier Field crowd, the defense stifled whatever Buffalo threw at them, and they were efficient in everything they did. Next up: The Bears head to Kansas City to battle the defending AFC champion Chiefs to close out the preseason on a high note.
