After the Jets completed an incredible walk-off victory in Week 1 against the Bills, there was a sense of belief and optimism that the team could possibly still do some damage this season, even without Aaron Rodgers.
But the torn left Achilles tendon suffered by Rodgers was as big of a setback as any NFL team could suffer. But now, after a tough Week 2 loss to the Cowboys, who boast one of the NFL’s best defenses, it appears that optimism, specifically in regard to quarterback Zach Wilson is all but gone—at least in the eyes of ESPN host and prominent Jets fan Mike Greenberg.

The NFL kept to its word during Sunday’s Chiefs vs. Jaguars game after announcing the intention to crack down on illegal formation. This appeared to stem largely from Kansas City offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor in Week 1, as his formation sparked a widespread reaction from fans.
Taylor was flagged five times during the team’s 17–9 win on Sunday, including two false starts, one illegal formation and two holding calls. During the third quarter, Chiefs coach Andy Reid even took Taylor briefly out of the game after he was penalized for two holding calls in just three plays.
The Orioles are headed to the playoffs for the first time in seven years and they marked the occasion with a celebration worthy of snapping such a long drought.
With a thrilling 5–4 win in 11 innings over the Rays on Sunday and the Rangers’ loss to the Guardians, Baltimore clinched its first postseason appearance since 2016. Times have been touch for the O’s since that most recent playoff appearance (they had three seasons with at least 108 losses), so everybody was ready to let loose after the trip to October was secured—everybody, including the general manager.
Absent the sort of background he has, now in his 23rd NFL season and seventh as Bills head coach, last week might have seemed like a lot to Sean McDermott.
The loss to the Jets on Monday night was only the beginning, and the resulting questions on Josh Allen, as if he were coming out of Wyoming all over again, would be the easy stuff. The mid-week lawsuit filed by former NFL Network reporter Jim Trotter put team ownership in the crosshairs on a sensitive topic that’d resonate in any locker room.
Travis Hunter will miss at least Colorado’s next three games.

Head coach Deion Sanders originally announced Hunter would miss some time, and a timeline has officially been laid out.
Outspoken Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins defeated the rival New England Patriots 24-17 on Sunday night to improve to 2-0, frustrating “some of the worst fans in the NFL” in Foxborough, Massachusetts, along the way.
Authorities searched Monday for former NFL player Sergio Brown after his 73-year-old mother’s body was found near a creek behind her suburban Chicago home.
The Noooobody! answer from the Ravens players was audible from outside a raucous locker room, providing a fitting capper to how an over-the-top excited coach let his emotion bubble over on Cincinnati’s home field. John Harbaugh wasn’t holding it in then, nor would he hold it in as he asked his players, “Who’s got it better than us?” at the top of his lungs.
It was a tribute to his dad in his dad’s home state, a few hours down Interstate 75 from where Jack Harbaugh now lives, and his brother, Jim, coaches and where the boys grew up with that family rallying call.
Blue Jackets coach Mike Babcock resigned from the team following reports about privacy concerns with the team after he was hired on July 1.
“Upon reflection, it has become clear that continuing as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets was going to be too much of a distraction,” Babcock said, via NHL. “While I’m disappointed to not have had the opportunity to continue the work we’ve begun, I know it’s in the best interest of the organization for me to step away at this time. I wish everyone in the organization well in the upcoming season.
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. Yesterday was an intriguing day in the NFL, but we need to take a look at Saturday’s most shocking college football result in more detail.

🦬 Deion Sanders outtakes
Low tide
Colorado’s emergence as the nation’s most compelling team isn’t the only way the college football world has been turned on its head this season. Alabama—the most consistently dominant team in the sport—suddenly looks more than vulnerable.
