The Philadelphia Eagles are on the road for a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Despite all the injuries the Eagles have had to deal with, the team still has potential, and the offense was able to finish multiple extended drives with a touchdown last week against Dallas. Unfortunately, it was the defense that underwhelmed last week, and they’ll have another challenge on Sunday night against the Commanders.

In Week One it was new Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker. The free-agent acquisition ran for 173 yards, including a 60-yard touchdown on fourth and one, against the Denver Broncos.
In Week Eight it was new Chiefs running back Emmett Johnson. The rookie fifth-round pick had 128 receiving yards vs. the Broncos.

The NBA announced on Sunday that it has suspended Atlanta Hawks rookie Kingston Flemings for one game for “intentionally elbowing” New Orelans Pelicans guard Bryce McGowens in the head.
The incident took place during the Pelicans’ 121-99 win over the Hawks on Saturday. Flemings will miss Monday’s game against the Indiana Pacers without pay.

The Buccaneers set a franchise-record with 324 rushing yards in Sunday’s 16-0 win over the Falcons and they made a little other history as well.
The Bucs did not have a completed pass in the game, which was a first in franchise history and it made them the first team since the Bills in 1974 to go an entire game without completing a pass. The game was played in wet and sloppy conditions that joined Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield’s injured right thumb as reasons why the Bucs only tried three passes all game.

The Chicago Bears’ blockbuster trade for Jeffery Simmons have made them immediate Super Bowl contenders, combining him with Grady Jarrett to create one of the league’s most formidable interior defensive line combinations. However, the Tennessee Titans, as one would expect, received calls from multiple other teams inquiring the availability of the 29-year-old defensive tackle.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the Chargers‘ 0-7 start, but there is no doubt it’s been an ugly year for Justin Herbert.
The former Pro-Bowler’s numbers speak for themselves, as he has double the interceptions as he has passing touchdowns, and there just haven’s been any clean games for L.A.’s offense.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane had just one catch for 13 yards on his lone target in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Why it Matters: Lane was targeted just once, and that’s likely going to be the rule in the short term. Lamar Jackson left with a broken thumb, and he is headed for IR, while backup Tyler Huntley suffered a turf toe injury, requiring an MRI. Lane might have to work with undrafted free-agent Joe Fagnano Thursday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.

The Washington Commanders ruled two players out for Sunday night’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for Washington, it’s arguably its two best defensive linemen, Daron Payne and Javon Kinlaw. Payne was healthy all week until he fractured his foot during Friday’s practice, ending his season.
So, when the Commanders revealed their inactive list for Sunday Night Football against the Eagles, Payne and Kinlaw headlined the list.
Another positive change for Washington is the return of backup quarterback Marcus Mariota.

The New York Jets lost another one-score game to the Las Vegas Raiders.
In Week 8, the Raiders (4-4) held on for the 38-33 win over the Jets (2-6). For the fifth time this season, the game was within reach for New York but they came up short. It’s the most frusrating way to lose and the Jets know it.
“I can sit here and talk about how close we are, but that’s not going to do us any good at all,” head coach Aaron Glenn said.
At the end, the Jets had a shot at the Raiders’ end zone. Quarterback Geno Smith was intercepted instead.

In the days leading up to Sunday’s game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, both sides were caught up in the words of Browns defensive end Jared Verse. Verse decided to do a little public smack talk to the media, calling out Pittsburgh after beating the Steelers earlier in the season.
When Verse got for all his talk was a blowout loss to the Steelers and a headache after guard Mason McCormick picked him up and dumped him on his head. He also got stuffed and shut down all game long and was a complete non-factor on the field.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur wouldn’t commit to next week’s starting quarterback after Gardner Minshew replaced Jacoby Brissett in the third quarter Sunday and led Arizona to a comeback win over Dallas.

The Steelers got the last word after Browns defensive end Jared Verse’s trash talk ahead of Sunday’s matchup.

After the Colts’ 42-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday, the Colts coach Shane Steichen left open the possibility of significant changes, including at quarterback.

Despite matching the largest blown fourth-quarter lead in team history, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the loss to Arizona will not trigger a coaching change.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson needs to have surgery on his injured right thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, coach Jesse Minter said.

The Arizona Cardinals have not lost to the Dallas Cowboys since Week 3 of 2017. For the second straight year, a Week 8 win over America’s team improved Arizona’s record to 3-5.
And it came in the form of a thrilling comeback victory. The Cardinals trailed by 14 points as the fourth quarter began.

Bo Nix is a good quarterback. Bo Nix is a bad quarterback. Until you observe him, he exists in a state of superposition, capable of anything across the realm of professional football.
While allows scientists a remarkable opportunity to examine quantum physics across football that isn’t centered on brain damage, it’s anathema to the Denver Broncos. Last year they were barreling toward the best record in the AFC with Nix at quarterback, powered to the peak of his potential by head coach Sean Payton.

Are the Boston Celtics real contenders in the East? Can star forward Jayson Tatum win MVP? These are just a few of the most important questions in front of fans of the team in light of the Celtics’ hot early start to the 2026-27 NBA regular season – and how good Tatum has been in driving it.
So, of course, these were two of several such questions that the folks behind the WEEI Boston Sports Original “Greg Hill Show” YouTube channel had on the docket for the hosts of said show to sink their collective teeth into on a recent episode.

Kimi Antonelli has become Formula 1’s youngest-ever champion. Securing the title on Sunday at the Mexico City Grand Prix confirms the rapid rise of a 20-year-old driver who hadn’t won a race when 2026 began.
Here’s the story of Antonelli’s historic title-winning season in five key moments:
The breakthrough win
Antonelli admitted doubting himself in an inconsistent rookie season as he scored less than half the points total of teammate George Russell. The first race of 2026 made it seem this would be another year of Antonelli as Mercedes’ No. 2 driver.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was back on the field Sunday for the first time since a high-ankle sprain in Week 4 cost him three games. His afternoon lasted one snap. Jackson hurt his right thumb on Baltimore’s first offensive play against the Buffalo Bills and did not return.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter posted Sunday, “Ravens QB Lamar Jackson needs thumb surgery and will be placed on injured reserve.” Head coach Jesse Minter said after the game that Jackson needs surgery on the thumb and a stint on injured reserve that will sideline him for multiple weeks at a minimum.

The Baltimore Ravens could be without Lamar Jackson for the remainder of the 2026 NFL season after the two-time MVP suffered a right thumb injury during Sunday’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Jackson will undergo surgery and be placed on injured reserve, head coach Jesse Minter told reporters following the game, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Minter indicated that the injury could be season-ending, delivering a devastating setback for a Baltimore team already struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances.

The Minnesota Vikings’ surprise undefeated season came to an end on Sunday afternoon as the Detroit Lions were able to get exactly the amount of points they needed in a 19-15 victory.
It’s not like Kevin O’Connell’s team was dealt a harsh dose of realty. In fact, the Vikings arguably outplayed a very good team on the road for 50 minutes and were potentially one coaching decision away from pushing their record to 7-0. So the sky is not falling.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson needs to have surgery on his injured right thumb and will be placed on injured reserve, coach Jesse Minter said.

Update: Speaking after the game Baltimore Ravens head coach Jesse Minter reported that Lamar Jackson will need surgery for his thumb injury, and is headed to Injured Reserve.

The Baltimore Ravens have been in trouble since Lamar Jackson has been out due to injury, and in his first play back things went badly. Jackson injured his hand on the opening play of the game, and was quickly escorted to the locker room for further evaluation.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a final score of 16-0, to improve to 3-5 on the season and crawl right back into the fight at the top of the NFC South.
But along the way, the Buccaneers accomplished something NFL fans have not seen since Gerald Ford was the President of the United States, back in 1974.
Tampa Bay knocked off the Falcons despite not completing a single pass in the game.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones entered Week 8 with questions already swirling about his job security. While head coach Shane Steichen offered a vote of confidence for his quarterback prior to Sunday’s game, it didn’t take long for Jones to make his coach regret that decision.
After throwing two interceptions in a blowout, Jones was benched in favor of Anthony Richardson against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Colts made the switch with a little over 11 minutes to play in the contest. At the time he was replaced, Jones was 19 for 28, with 144 yards and a touchdown.

After a high-profile trade with the Philadelphia Eagles, the New England Patriots had high hopes that the three-time All-Pro and Super Bowl 59 champion receiver would mesh quickly with their MVP-caliber quarterback, Drake Maye. But injury issues have muddled Brown’s debut Patriots campaign, as he has just nine total receptions and three games played so far in the 2026 season.
And only just over a couple of weeks after Brown finally came back from a Week 1 high-ankle sprain, he has unfortunately been ruled out for Sunday’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

NEW DELHI: There’s tension in the Delhi camp. They have mustered just four points in three Ranji Trophy matches.

The Detroit Lions are locked in a tight NFC North battle this Sunday with the Minnesota Vikings.
And now the Lions are worried about one of their defensive stalwarts as well.
Linebacker Jack Campbell was taken off the Ford Field playing surface on a stretcher, after a scary scene unfolded late in the second half. Campbell was involved in a tackle early in the fourth quarter and after a collision he fell hard to the Ford Field turf, and remained motionless on the field as trainers rushed to him.
