As an Indianapolis native, Browns wide receiver David Bell already had plenty of family members in attendance Sunday for Cleveland’s game against the Colts.

By the end of the first quarter, one more had arrived: a baby girl born at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium.

The 22-year-old receiver told Indiana station WLFI after the game that while the girl’s mother had hoped to give birth to the child beforehand, “It’s all in God’s timing, so now I have a new niece.”

Bell’s mother, who was at the stadium for the game, told WLFI then that the girl was delivered at 1:20 p.m.

“So it’s a real exciting day today,” said Bell’s mother, Kareem Butler. She referred to the mother of the child as her niece, which technically would make the baby girl Bell’s first cousin, once removed. Dwelling on technicalities was more a matter Sunday for the officiating crew on the field, however, than for happy members of the Bell family located elsewhere in the stadium.

“It’s a blessing,” he said.

Butler told Indianapolis station WXIN that the mother’s due date was actually several days after the game, but that the woman went into labor as she and her companions were “crossing the street” to enter the stadium.

“So when they got here, they went to the first aid (station),” Butler said Sunday. “By the time they got her back there, the baby was crowning, and they delivered her here at the stadium.”

The emergency medical technician who was primarily responsible for delivering the baby couldn’t cite specifics of the episode because of privacy regulations, but in a phone interview Monday with The Washington Post, she said “the outcome was fantastic.”

“I couldn’t be more proud of how my team worked together,” said Ashley Vlaskamp, a medical coordinator with Indiana University Health who has worked Colts games for the past two years.

The sudden family addition was an unexpectedly joyful layer to a day for Bell that saw his Browns earn a last-minute, one-point win in front of a number of his high school teammates and coaches, as well as family members.

RAMS: Los Angeles released kicker Brett Maher two days after he missed two field-goal attempts and an extra point in a seven-point loss to Pittsburgh.

The Rams (3-4) didn’t immediately sign a kicker Tuesday to replace Maher, who joined the team after training camp Aug. 30.

The 33-year-old Maher missed a 53-yard field-goal attempt and a 51-yarder along with an extra point in the Rams’ 24-17 loss to the Steelers.

Maher went 17 of 23 on field-goal attempts for the Rams, although all of his misses were from 46 yards or longer. His final four misses – two against Indianapolis and two against Pittsburgh – were all in ideal conditions under roofs.

Maher infamously missed five extra-point attempts for the Cowboys in the playoffs last season to close out his third stint with Dallas.

SAINTS: Receiver Chris Olave is facing a reckless driving charge after being arrested for allegedly driving 70 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone, police in Kenner, Louisiana, said.

Olave was booked into the Kenner jail and released around 11:30 p.m. Monday, police Capt. Michael Cunningham said. Cunningham said Olave’s Dodge Charger accelerated up to a registered speed of 70 mph in the distance of about two blocks from where the vehicle had turned onto the street and was observed “recklessly maneuvering between lanes and around other drivers on the roadway.”

The New Orleans Saints say they are aware of the allegations and have not commented further. Olave leads the Saints with 39 catches for 471 yards and has caught one touchdown pass.

CHIEFS: Wide receiver Justyn Ross pleaded not guilty to charges of misdemeanor domestic battery and criminal damage to property and was expected to be released later in the day after posting $2,500 bond.

Ross is due again in court on Dec. 4. The Chiefs said they were aware of his arrest but had no comment.

Ross was arrested Monday and the sheriff’s offense in Johnson County, Kansas, originally indicated on his booking record that he was accused of causing damage of up to $25,000, which would have been a felony. That total was adjusted to under $1,000.

LIONS: Detroit agreed to part ways with Marvin Jones after the veteran wide receiver stepped away to deal with a personal matter over the weekend.

Jones, who re-signed with the Lions after a two-year stint in Jacksonville, is 33 years old and the oldest regularly-used receiver in the league. He previously played five seasons in Detroit (2016-20) in what was the best statistical stretch of his career. He ranks in the top 10 in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns in franchise history.

Only Calvin Johnson and Herman Moore have caught more touchdowns for the Lions than Jones’ 36.
