Sunday night showcased a few truths.
Brock Purdy is more than a manager, and Dak Prescott is more question than answer at the moment.
Purdy has started 10 regular-season games in his 49ers career. He’s 10–0 with 22 touchdown passes against four interceptions. He’s also averaging 8.6 yards per attempt, a number which this year stands at an absurd 9.3.
Meanwhile, Prescott has to answer the proverbial bell for the Cowboys. After leading the league with 15 interceptions a year ago (despite playing in only 12 games), he’s struggling again.

Bryce Harper had himself a night in Game 3 of the Braves–Phillies NLDS, hitting two massive home runs in Philadelphia’s 10-2 victory at home.
The Phillies now need just one more win to send the Braves, who won 104 games this season, home and set up a date with the Diamondbacks in the NLCS.
Things got personal for Harper in Wednesday night’s win, as he was seen staring down Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia after each of his home runs. Harper didn’t like something Arcia said about him after Game 2 and made his feelings known each time he rounded the bases.
With LIV Golf’s Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) application officially, and unanimously being rejected, many players now face a near-impossible battle to qualify for major championships. Bryson DeChambeau, who is still exempt for upcoming majors after his 2020 U.S. Open win, has some suggestions for the four major championships to allow LIV players to qualify.

The NBA’s very own LeBron James stood with Israel in a statement released Wednesday, and a large group of his fans weren’t supportive of the message.
In a rare W for LeBron, he posted a heartfelt statement for the victims of Hamas’ war crimes against Israel. He went a step further by leaving the comment section open on the sure-to-be-controversial post.
Critics came in hordes, mocking LeBron for supporting Israel over the Pro-Palestine movement championed by mainstream Leftists.
Apparently, the fans wanted King James to appease Hamas rather than condemn the terrorist group.
There was a moment in Sunday’s blowout loss to the New Orleans Saints in which the New England Patriots trailed 24-0 and desperately needed a spark. The chance for that singular moment of clarity amid a season-long fog came in the third quarter when Bill Belichick’s offense crawled from its 25 yard line to the Saints’ 40.
But facing a fourth-and-3 situation in a game New England was desperate to grasp some momentum, Belichick opted to punt.
So, no answer.
Everyone saw it, most importantly Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Daly II went red hot in Dallas as he was one of the only bright spots for Arkansas Golf at the Stephens Cup.
Little John Daly II followed his dad’s footsteps as he left a mark on Arkansas golf. The team didn’t finish well, but Daly II and Jacob Skov Olesen were in the top 10.
Olesen was the high finisher for the Hogs as he was T7. Daly finished T10.
However, Daly fired off 70-67-69 for the three-day event in his fifth career start and was the only Arkansas player to place inside the Top 20 in all four events this fall.
The Dodgers won 100 games during the 2023 MLB regular season. But that success looks meaningless after the Diamondbacks swept them out of the National League Division Series in three games.
Unfortunately for Dodgers fans, this is a painfully familiar tune that’s been played the past few Octobers. Despite regular-season excellence and MVP-level talent, the team continually fails in the postseason. Arizona won 84 games, finishing 16 games behind Los Angeles in the NL West. That now seems irrelevant.
It’s Week 6! One of the top stories last week was the revenge game between Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett and his former team, the Broncos. This week features another high-profile OC taking on his old squad, when Chargers coordinator Kellen Moore squares off with the Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Other top games include a battle between the Jaguars and Colts for first place in the AFC South, plus a Lions visit to the surprising Buccaneers.
Meanwhile, five of our seven pickers think the Bears will pick up their second straight win by upsetting the Vikings.
Penn State coach James Franklin had an awkward response to a simple question about opening up the passing game.
The Nittany Lions are currently 5-0 and ranked sixth in the country. It feels like Franklin has his best team in a long time, and with a matchup looming against Ohio State on the horizon next weekend, everyone wants to find out whether or not his team is for real.
Franklin seems to be a bit more interested in getting into petty and chippy exchanges with the media.
James Franklin gets chippy with reporter over passing game question.
As usual, Los Angeles established its superiority over the long haul of the regular season. Fine. But the MLB postseason is a chaotic sprint, and the Dodgers got left in the dust. Again.
