Drake Maye snapped out of his early-season slide with a clutch performance as the New England Patriots upset the Buffalo Bills 29-26 at Highmark Stadium in a result that coach Mike Vrabel highlighted as critical for the defending AFC champions.

CeeDee Lamb returned to Houston and caught 17 passes for 189 yards, including the game-winning, 12-yard touchdown with 40 seconds to go, as a large number of family members watched from the stands.

After hauling in a 55-yard pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton suffered a gruesome-looking injury to his left leg during the fourth quarter of his team’s 30-27 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Bengals wide receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both suffered injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Jaguars.

Lamar Jackson left the Ravens’ game against the Titans on Sunday with an ankle injury.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The NFL is looking into the circumstances of an official swearing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during the team’s loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, league spokesperson Brian McCarthy told The Associated Press by email.
Line judge Jeff Seeman was caught on camera cursing at McBride, which drew the ire of union leader JC Tretter, a retired offensive lineman who played eight seasons.

NEW YORK — Brooklyn Nets rookie forward Joshua Jefferson is heading into his first NBA season with the opportunity of seeing meaningful minutes for one of the youngest teams in the league. Brooklyn selected Jefferson with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft due to his intangibles and experience in college basketball, but he explained how the Nets are allowing him to play his game.
“I think that’s a big part of who I am as a player: creating for others, making the job easier and getting open shots for my teammates.

The Seattle Seahawks (3-1) might have slipped against the Washington Commanders as heavy favorites last week, but they made sure that wouldn’t happen against the Los Angeles Chargers (0-4) this week… even though they tried their hardest to lose.
Seattle forced four turnovers off of the Chargers, including three on Justin Herbert. What was a 27-6 lead for the Seahawks became a scary close 30-23 win after some insane penalty issues and some rare defensive miscues.

WELLBORN — Fifth-seeded Jacksonville went 1-1 in the Calhoun County volleyball tournament Saturday, sweeping 12th-seeded Saks 25-15, 25-8, 25-19 in the first round before fourth-seeded Pleasant Valley eliminated the Golden Eagles in the quarterfinals, 25-17, 17-25, 18-25, 25-23, 15-13.
For the tournament, Layna Wise led Jacksonville with 21 kills, while also adding four aces, two blocks and one assist. Addie Tidwell added 16 kills, three aces, eight blocks and one dig. Ana Strain had seven kills, two aces and one dig.

It’s game 2 between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday night in LA.

Bills cornerback Dee Alford says the crowd noise at new Highmark Stadium has proven to be a lot to overcome and that the defense must learn to adapt.

The Milwaukee Brewers are one win away from a return trip to the NCLS.
And for the second consecutive game, Jackson Chourio played the role of hero.
In Game 1, Chourio hit a two-run home run to tie the game early, opening the door for a solo shot off the bat of William Contreras for the eventual 3-2 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday night. But Sunday in Game 2, Chourio and the Brewers walked it off for the win, against one of the best closers in all of baseball.

Tyquan Thornton made the biggest catch of the game for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4, but unfortunately it ended with a gruesome injury that resulted in the wide receiver being carted off the field. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes found Thornton on a deep route late in the game with the Raiders by two points, but after he bounced up to celebrate his 55-yard reception, he crumbled to the ground. Players from both sides looked concerned as Thornton laid on the turf until the cart came to take him to the locker room.

The Carolina Panthers (1-2) host the Detroit Lions (2-1) tonight, closing out yet another busy game day with a “Sunday Night Football” primetime special.
Jahmyr Gibbs continues to be the star of the show for Detroit with 463 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns through the first three weeks of the season and should have another monster performance against the Panthers. Carolina has allowed a league-high 144.7 rush yards per game to opposing running backs, including the third-most fantasy points per game given up to the position so far this season.

The Kansas City Chiefs took a late lead over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4 when star quarterback Patrick Mahomes connected with speedy wide receiver Tyquan Thornton for a second touchdown pass.
Thornton has been one of Mahomes’ favorite targets in the game and has tallied four receptions for 56 yards that have kept Kansas City’s offense on schedule.
For his part, Mahomes has completed 13 of his 26 pass attempts for 164 yards and two touchdowns — both of which were caught by Thornton.

More than a few New Orleans Saints fans still hold a grudge against their team’s old coach Sean Payton, but there’s no debating his stature in team history. Even if he’s coaching the Denver Broncos these days, Payton is still getting questions about his experience with the Saints from time to time. The upcoming celebration of the Superdome reopening’s twentieth anniversary led to more of them. Payton saw firsthand what Hurricane Katrina’s impacts were to New Orleans, Louisiana, and the whole Gulf South.

New policies for tailgaters were put to the test Sunday as fans flocked to the South Philadelphia Sports Complex to cheer on the Eagles.
Under the new policy, oversized vehicles can no longer choose their own parking locations and instead will be directed to assigned spaces in Lots D and N.
There’s also a price increase for those oversized vehicles.
The updated pricing structure sets the cost at $200 for four spaces and $100 for two additional spots, with a maximum of six spaces.

It’s a prime-time matchup in Week 4 for the Detroit Lions (2-1) as Dan Campbell’s bunch travels to Bank of America Stadium to battle the Carolina Panthers (1-2).
Who’s in? And who’s out?
Here’s a look at the Lions’ inactives against the Panthers on “Sunday Night Football”:

Sometimes, the numbers tell the whole story. Tampa Bay is 0-4 this season, every single one of those games a one-possession loss. Dating back to December 2025, Tampa Bay is 1-8, and every single one of those games has been a one-possession contest. Cut another way, Tampa Bay has lost eight of nine games by an average margin of less than four points. 
Cut it however you like: Tampa Bay is flailing. This is the NFL, not figure skating; you don’t get credit for valiant but imperfect finishes.

All-Pro Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II left Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers after appearing to sustain a non-contact injury to his leg.
The injury took place late in the first half on a pass play. Surtain fell down without being contacted in coverage. He received treatment on the field after the play and needed the help of two medical trainers to limp off the field.

Here is the non-contact injury to Pat Surtain II, who is headed to the locker room 🙏 pic.twitter.

ESPN is sticking by their bizarre report that 49ers owner Jed York was in Australia during the 49ers’ Week 1 International Game against the Rams, despite the question marks that local beat writers raised in the aftermath.

Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland caught six passes for 57 yards against the New York Jets in Week 4. He was targeted eight times during the game.
SOURCE: USAToday.com

Why It Matters: Loveland was off to a slow start over the first three games but was able to find success with Tyson Bagent at quarterback. He will see a handful of targets each game and can be a No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

The Green Bay Packers may have suffered another serious blow to their defense after linebacker Edgerrin Cooper left Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with an Achilles injury. The NFL development came during the third quarter at Raymond James Stadium.
Cooper suffered the injury with 8:43 remaining in the third quarter while pursuing quarterback Jalon Daniels. The Packers ruled him out shortly afterward, and he needed a cart to leave the field.
Matt LaFleur later provided a concerning update on Cooper’s condition.

The Atlanta Falcons are heading into the Caesars Superdome on Monday, October 5, for a game that feels much bigger than a standard Week 4 matchup. This isn’t just about a division win; it is the 20th anniversary of the Superdome reopening after Hurricane Katrina. The stakes are high, the crowd will be loud, and the Falcons must stay focused on football while the Saints try to use the history against them.
A Heavy Emotional Burden
New Orleans wants to make this night special, but the Falcons cannot let the moment take over.

Was Jorge Jesus right? Portugal book Nations knockout place after stunners
The reigning Uefa Nations League champions showed that the controversy surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo is still not affecting them on the pitch. 
And they have already secured a place in the quarter-finals of the current edition.
Portugal maintained their 100% record when they faced Norway in Porto.
They went behind, but secured a 2-1 win to confirm their place in the knockout stage this Sunday (4) after four rounds. 
With another goal from Gonçalo Ramos.

It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t perfect. And for much of the Jacksonville fanbase, it may have been downright frustrating to watch. But Jacksonville Jaguars fans and players are walking into Victory Monday at 3-1 and atop the AFC South, following a road victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Indianapolis Colts and quarterback Daniel Jones had some rough moments during their Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders in London. However, they were able to overcome those moments to pull out a big 30-13 win.
For Jones, there were multiple big mistakes that could have costed the team dearly. He fumbled the ball and also threw an interception. Turnovers have become a concern with the veteran quarterback after locking in a lucrative contract extension during the offseason.

Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has been ruled out against the Jaguars with a concussion.

Check out highlights from Angel Reese, DeWanna

Drake Maye has been absolutely dreadful to start the 2026 season to follow a breakout second season that almost earned him league MVP. Maye and the New England Patriots badly needed a win over Buffalo Bills in Week 4 to build some positive momentum and avoid a 1-3 start. Maye played by far his best game of the season, and he gave the Patriots a chance to win by hooking up with wide receiver Efton Chism III for a clutch fourth quarter touchdown.
With the Bills leading by five points late in the fourth quarter, Maye rolled to his right and flung the ball to the end zone.
