The Cowboys were humbled Sunday night in what was supposed to be a NFC heavyweight bout against the 49ers. Instead, it looked more like an older brother bullying his younger sibling without remorse. But that didn’t deter Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons from hyping up his team.
Despite the lopsided 42–10 loss, the Cowboys star told reporters that he still sees Dallas as a postseason contender and San Francisco’s peer.
“I don’t think they really a higher level than us,” Parsons said. “I think we the same caliber playoff team. If not, the same talent same standard as them.

Jets tight end C.J. Uzomah was fired up Sunday ahead of beating the Denver Broncos.
The Jets pulled out a solid 31-21 win over the Broncos and Sean Payton, but it was Uzomah’s pregame actions that seem to have caught the most attention.
Payton took some shots at former Broncos coach and current Jets OC Nathaniel Hackett ahead of the season, and Uzomah made sure to remind everyone of that fact before the game started.
“Their coach made this sh*t personal. Well f*ck him and f*ck them. This ain’t about them. It’s about us getting back on the right track.
CeeDee Lamb didn’t mince words after the Cowboys suffered a disappointing 42-10 loss to the 49ers in prime time on Sunday night. Dallas was dealt one of its most disappointing losses in recent memory, yet another setback against the team that eliminated it from the playoffs in each of the past two seasons.
Lamb, who registered four receptions for 49 yards, gave possibly the most candid and blunt evaluation of the team’s struggles and its inconsistency—sometimes looking like a team with potential to be great, and then showing up with a performance like Sunday’s.
The NFL is a copycat league, and the best playcallers often copy each other
The NFL is a copycat league. Nothing is new under an NFL sun, and if a coordinator implements something cool, you can believe that another playcaller will have it installed by the next week. This has already happened with the Miami Dolphins and Mike McDaniel’s use of the “cheat” motion that literally every team in the league uses now, but on Sunday, we saw two teams run the exact same trick play, thrown near the same area, and to tight ends who went to the same university.
Tom Brady became a minority owner of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces in March, but the former NFL quarterback waited until Sunday’s opening contest of the WNBA Finals to attend a game in person. Aces’ star Kelsey Plum took notice and was sure to send a message to Brady after their 99-82 win over the New York Liberty.
“I looked at him and I said, ‘It’s about effing time you showed up,’” Plum said during her post-game press conference. “‘But what I love about him was he was just like, ‘You already know.
HOUSTON — No metric, no pay stub, no agent, no arbitration hearing, no award, no algorithm defines the value of a ballplayer as honestly as October, when baseball becomes its transparent best. The cruelty of small sample size collides with the weight of meaning.
To understand this crucible is to understand what happened in the Twins clubhouse as they prepared to play Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Astros. In what was a veritable must-win game for Minnesota, Carlos Correa, he of the .230 batting average and 1.

Joe Burrow, QB, Bengals

Burrow had been awful this season, scoring an average of 7.9 fantasy points in his first four starts. He was so bad, in fact, that I had him as this week’s top sit at the quarterback position.
Love was in the air at the Cowboys–49ers game at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday evening, with a couple getting engaged moments after the end of one of the worst SNF games of the season.
There are lots of places to ask someone to marry you. A sporting event doesn’t necessarily seem like the best one of those places, or even being close to the top of that list, but whatever—a 49ers fan dropped to one knee after his team’s 42-10 win and asked his significant other, who’s a Cowboys fan, to marry him, and she said yes. Hooray for love.
The two worst losses of Bill Belichick’s career happened in the last two weeks.
The NFL gleefully went about its business on Sunday.
And by the time about 14 hours of football was over we understood the Bills have issues, Bill Belichick might be losing his fastball, the Eagles are still undefeated, the Panthers are still winless, Joe Burrow’s calf is getting better, and Travis Kelce’s ankle is apparently made of rubber.
There were a lot of interesting storylines that America’s most popular league that plays America’s most popular sport served us up like a buffet of distractions for the entire country to consume.
Meanwhile, the world is burning.
