Despite ineptitude on offense for the first 59-plus minutes, the Jets marched 58 yards on two plays in 23 seconds to force overtime and then beat the Giants.

The Warriors’ Chris Paul didn’t start Sunday’s game against the Rockets, the first time in his career that he has come off the bench.
File these under things we didn’t expect this season: The 49ers have a three-game losing streak, and the Chiefs no longer have a winning streak against the Broncos.
More upsets occurred in Week 8 of the NFL season, such as Kansas City losing to Denver for the first time in eight years. But the Bengals’ road win vs. the 49ers shouldn’t qualify as one of them. Yes, technically the Bengals were four-point underdogs, but they’re never truly underdogs with a healthy Joe Burrow.
We learned plenty about the Bengals and 49ers during their Week 8 clash.
The Baltimore Ravens beat the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. No surprise there. Baltimore entered the game with a 5-2 record against one-win Arizona. Lamar Jackson vs. Josh Dobbs.
Despite playing on the road, the Ravens closed as 9.5-point favorites over the Cardinals. That didn’t look great early, as the Cardinals scored a touchdown on the first possession of the game.
But, Arizona didn’t score another point in the first half. In fact, they didn’t score a point until there were less than seven minutes left in the game. At that point, the Ravens had built a 24-7 lead.
Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh has been reportedly waiting on a new contract from the school that would’ve put him at the top of the Big Ten. Now, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Michigan is not moving ahead with the offer.
The new contract has been the topic of discussion around Ann Arbor for some time now, before the allegations of sign-stealing first arose.
Now, the school is reportedly having second thoughts of giving Harbaugh such a lucrative contract, especially one with a large buyout.
Before the season, we imagined a kind of market-shattering selloff for lottery tickets in the Caleb Williams sweepstakes. The reality, as we noted in our companion piece, is far more complicated. There aren’t a ton of teams that should be viewing this as a realistic possibility. This is, like most years, less of a vehicle to attain a higher draft status and more of an exercise in getting the most capital out of assets who no longer add significant value to the team as presently constructed.
What we saw from the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers on Sunday are two teams with Super Bowl aspirations headed in polar opposite directions.
The Bengals beat the Niners, 31-17, at Levi’s Stadium.
But the score here is not the story. The direction these teams are on now is the thing.
The Bengals have won three consecutive games. And that’s a big deal for a team that opened the season with two consecutive losses and three losses in their first three games.
“It was a great team win,” quarterback Joe Burrow said.
Rapper Flava Flav may be public enemy no. 1 after delivering his rendition of the national anthem at the Milwaukee Bucks home game on Sunday. Nothing treasonous … it just wasn’t one of Flav’s finest performances.
The 64-year-old rap legend kicked off the homestand against the Atlanta Hawks with a performance of the anthem that made fellow tone-deaf singers proud.

Flava Flav, to his credit, injected the scene with his signature flair.
The Milwaukee Bucks invited rapper Flavor Flav to sing the national anthem ahead of Sunday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, and he put on quite a show.
There have been plenty of big swings in the history of the national anthem being played at sporting events.
On one side of the scale, there is Marvin Gaye at the 1983 NBA All-Star Game, at the other end is Fergie’s rendition at the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.
Flavor Flav sings the national anthem before the Hawks-Bucks game in Milwaukee on Sunday night.
Micah Parsons arrived at Dallas’s AT&T Stadium for Week 8’s game with the Rams in true Halloween fashion, wearing a Lion costume and a custom chain referencing his popular lion crawl sack celebration.
The Cowboys’ edge rusher considers himself a lion and has truly embraced the king of the jungle as his persona. The All-Pro linebacker marked his territory by disrupting the Rams’ offense on Sunday, registering one sack, two tackles, one pass deflection, and three quarterback hits in a 43–20 win against Los Angeles.
