⭐️ Azerbaijan 1-3 France: the three standout Bleus of the match 🇫🇷
Lovely evening for the newcomers.
An unprecedented French team was fielded against Azerbaijan this Sunday evening. Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the French team was reshuffled by Didier Deschamps. The coach rested his key players to see what his new favorites were capable of.
Despite a challenging start to the match, the French team quickly bounced back thanks to three players in particular.
The World Cup qualifiers are almost complete but for several countries an anxious wait remains before the full line-up for next summer’s tournament is confirmed.
There will be 16 European teams who advance to March’s play-offs, which will take place after the World Cup group-stage draw is conducted on 5 December. There are then just four more spots in the tournament.
“I hit 400 in high school,” running back Ahmad Hardy said in Saturday’s post-game.
A dominating performance was nothing new for the Mizzou star.
In just his tenth game as a Missouri Tiger, Hardy climbed the ranks of the Missouri greats. Over 25 carries, the running back collected 300 yards in the resounding defeat of the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
With his 300 yards, he moved to second all-time for most rushing yards in a game, just 20 yards shy of the top spot which was claimed by Devin West in 1998.
It looks like a shootout in Buffalo.
Josh Allen connected on a 43-yard touchdown pass to receiver Tyrell Shavers to put the Bills back ahead of the Buccaneers, 14-10.
Tampa Bay had only rushed three players on third-and-3, which helped give Allen plenty of time in the backfield. While things initially may have been covered, Allen then found Shavers streaking toward the end zone and hit him with an accurate deep shot for the score.
Allen now has 16 touchdown passes in 2025.
Update: Bryce Young has returned to Sunday’s contest vs. the Falcons.
Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has exited the team’s Week 11 matchup vs. the Atlanta Falcons with an ankle injury and has been ruled as questionable to return to the NFC South battle. Young had his ankle stepped on while being sacked by Falcons safety Billy Bowman Jr. and had to be tended to by the team’s medical staff before walking off to the locker room on his own power.

After losing two straight games, the Green Bay Packers have fallen out of the top spot in the NFC North and need to right the ship today against the New York Giants.
But now they have to worry about the health of quarterback Jordan Love as well.
Love came out of the game and went straight to the blue medical tent after taking a hard hit late in the first quarter against the Giants. The play came on a scramble, with Love trying to pick up the first down with his legs.
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley returned to the field Sunday for the team’s game against the Houston Texans, after missing the last three games with a hamstring injury.
But his Sunday might already be over after just a handful of plays.
Ridley was taken off the field and to the locker room after suffering what appeared to be a lower leg injury early against the Texans. You can see the play in question here:

Stefon Diggs has filed a lawsuit against social media personality Christopher Blake Griffith after Griffith publicly accused the New England Patriots wide receiver of drugging, sexually assaulting and conspiring to kill him following an alleged 2023 encounter.
According to court documents filed Oct. 1 and obtained by TMZ, Diggs claimed the “would-be social media influencer” invented a false story about an incident that he says never happened. Diggs alleged the two attended a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C.
