Halloween is still two weeks away and there is no inarguable “best team” in the NFL. Every contender has a bad loss or an ugly win, and there are no unbeaten teams left.

We’re now one-third of the way through the NFL season.
For rookies, their campaigns are taking shape. In Houston, C.J. Stroud is commanding a feisty Texans squad that is only one game out of first place in the AFC South. In Carolina, the Panthers are the league’s only winless team at 0–6, left to wonder whether Bryce Young will emerge better for his early struggles.
Then there are the receivers, who have largely done the job in their first years.
A woman in a Justin Herbert jersey embodied the joy and agony of being a sports fan during Monday Night Football.
As the Los Angeles Chargers and Dallas Cowboys were capping off Week 6 on Monday Night Football with a back-and-forth affair, television cameras kept panning to same Chargers fan in the crowd who was, um, wearing her emotions on her sleeve.
The woman, who was wearing a Justin Herbert jersey, experienced every emotion a sports fan can have in one night. She just didn’t get the ending she was looking for.
Travis Hunter has no problem with Deion Sanders questioning if Colorado players actually love football.
Sanders was visibly frustrated and heated following the Buffaloes blowing a 29-point lead against Stanford last Friday to lose in double OT.
It was one of the worst collapses in the history of college football, and it happened in primetime in front of the country.
Following the game, Sanders torched his team in the locker room and publicly told the media he wondered if guys on his roster loved the game or simply liked it.
A female Chargers fan experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows Monday night against the Cowboys.
Dallas and Los Angeles battled it out on the field, and the Cowboys were able to sneak away with a win After a late field goal in the final minutes of the game and making a defensive stand by picking off Justin Herbert.
It was a pretty entertaining sequence of events down the stretch, and one woman’s reactions through the fourth quarter perfectly captured the ride that is being a sports fan.
Arizona’s hitters could not catch up to Zack Wheeler’s fastball, while Philly’s sluggers, including Bryce Harper, counterpunched at Zac Gallen’s and delivered the first blow.
Not every team has been able to replicate the success the Eagles have had with their renowned Tush Push on fourth-and-short or goal-to-go situations. The Cowboys were the latest team to come up short in their effort with the quarterback sneak, having tried the play during the second quarter against the Chargers on Monday night.
After the game, Dak Prescott was asked about their shortcomings on the Tush Push in the first half, to which he gave a funny response.
“They didn’t push my tush enough,” explained Prescott to reporters, via Taylor Bisciotti of the NFL Network.
A Parsons sack and a Stephon Gilmore interception against Justin Herbert sealed Dallas’ victory.
It was billed as a revenge game for Kellen Moore against his former boss Mike McCarthy, but that wasn’t the most important story line heading into Monday night’s matchup between the Chargers and Cowboys.
Yes, McCarthy fired Moore as his offensive coordinator and made some juicy comments for why he decided to let him go. McCarthy wanted to run the ball more, while the Chargers welcomed Moore and his pass-heavy scheme with open arms.
But McCarthy and Moore weren’t calling plays against each other at SoFi Stadium.
Former Athletics reliever Trevor May announced his retirement from MLB on Monday on a live stream on Twitch, during which he also harshly criticized franchise owner John Fisher.
May, 34, called for Fisher to sell the franchise amid his attempt to relocate the team from Oakland to Las Vegas, blasting the 62-year-old in a fiery, NSFW rant.
“Sell the team, dude… Sell it, man. Let someone who actually, like, takes pride in the things they own, own something. There’s actually people who give a s— about the game. Let them do it.
