One day after watching the 49ers embarrass the Cowboys 42–10 on Sunday Night Football, NFL analyst Keyshawn Johnson made several bold predictions about the 2023 Super Bowl contender.
On Fox Sports 1’s Undisputed Monday morning, the former NFL wide receiver, while debating with Skip Bayless and Richard Sherman, didn’t hold back from criticizing the Cowboys following the blowout loss.
The three-time Pro Bowl wideout boldly “promised” that the Cowboys will not win the NFC East due to their recent struggles.
With injuries continuing to ravage the Bills defense, the club reportedly plans to bring back a familiar, high-profile face to its cornerback room ahead of Week 6.
Former All-Pro Josh Norman, who played for Buffalo in 2020, is expected to sign a deal this week to join the Bills’ practice squad, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The organization’s reunion with the 12-year veteran comes amid glaring health concerns in the secondary, including the loss of star CB Tre’Davious White to a torn Achilles.
Tyler Herro was right in the middle of the Damian Lillard to the Miami Heat trade rumors this offseason.
Miami Hurricanes’ coach Mario Cristobal can’t wait for Saturday.
Then he can begin what he hopes is a career-long eraser project on what he allowed to happen Saturday in a 23-20 loss to Georgia Tech. Miami (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) plays at No. 12 North Carolina (5-0, 2-0 ACC) on Saturday (7:30 p.m., ABC).
With a 20-17 lead and 33 seconds to play, Miami faced a third-and-10 at the Tech 30-yard line with Tech out of timeouts. All Cristobal needed to do was tell quarterback Tyler Van Dyke to take the snap and kneel once or twice. It would have been over.
Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb didn’t seem too content during Dallas’s blowout loss to the 49ers on Sunday night.
Lamb was visibly frustrated on the field during the 42-10 defeat, prompting head coach Mike McCarthy to praise the wide receiver’s body language when speaking to reporters on Monday.
The Cowboys’ top wide receiver was targeted just five times during the loss to San Francisco, making four catches for 49 yards. He could be seen reacting in dismay on the field after Dak Prescott threw interceptions on three consecutive drives.
Georgia coach Kirby Smart wanted his top-ranked Bulldogs to play like a “wrecking ball” when they took the field against Kentucky on Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
Mission accomplished. But outside of sports, the metaphor is a popular song by U.S. singer, songwriter, and actress Miley Cyrus.
As Smart discussed UGA’s 51–13 dismantling of Kentucky with reporters after the game, the two-time CFP national championship coach kept referring to a “wrecking ball” so much that a reporter mentioned thinking of Cyrus. However, Smart was unfamiliar with the pop star.
Christian McCaffrey was again the target of plays Sunday likely to warrant significant fines from the NFL.

Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football, where Arizona should have gone for two:
First Quarter: Close-game blunders | Second Quarter: Playoff chaos scenarios
Third Quarter: More was expected
We’re all flying blind into a season, guessing at what will happen, but usually those guesses are educated. They’re based on returning players, incoming players, new coaches, coach rhetoric—sometimes even first-hand observations from practice. (Those are much more rare now.)
As always, there are pleasant surprises. And, as always, there are disappointments.
