The rookie scoring record is the latest that Caitlin Clark has broken in her historic debut season in the WNBA.
Caitlin Clark just keeps on making history. In Sunday’s WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Dallas Wings, Clark set a new record for most points in a season by any rookie in league history. The record was broken with a deep three-pointer in the third quarter, increasing Clark’s total scoring output for the season to 746 points (and counting).

After scoring his first touchdown of the 2024 season, Zay Flowers paid tribute to the late Jacoby Jones.
In July, Jones — a former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver and returner and the hero of the team’s Super Bowl XLVII run — tragically died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease at just 40 years old.
So when Flowers scored in the third quarter of the Ravens’ home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, Flowers honored Jones by recreating his famous touchdown celebration, the “Choppa City Juke.

Derek Carr and the Saints put the NFL on notice with blowout of the Cowboys
One of the more fascinating results from Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season came from New Orleans. The New Orleans Saints hosted their NFC South rivals the Carolina Panthers, but the game seemed over shortly after kickoff. New Orleans went right down the first on the opening possession of the game for a touchdown, and following an interception of Bryce Young on Carolina’s first drive of the year, the Saints tacked on a field goal for the early 10-0 lead.

The Saints’ offense has dominated to start the season, including two Derek Carr TD passes in the first half Sunday.

Lilia Vu clinched the United States’ first Solheim Cup since 2017, ending Europe’s run of three straight victories.

Texas is No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll for the first time in 16 years, replacing Georgia after the Bulldogs struggled against Kentucky.

The NFL schedule and playoff field has expanded, but an 0-2 start remains a problem for teams.
NFL teams are attempting to win every week, but even the best teams can struggle at times. A losing streak doesn’t mean a team will miss the playoffs, but a losing streak to open the season can be tough to overcome.
Barring any unexpected ties, 16 teams finished Week 1 with an 0-1 record. A regularly mentioned stat over the years has been the number of teams that start 0-2 that eventually make the playoffs.

Sometimes in the NFL, a player will suffer a significant injury in a game that causes everyone to take a knee (see Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa).
But Sunday, we saw something far more serious, and it didn’t even involve a player.
The Baltimore Ravens hosted the Las Vegas Raiders at M&T Bank Stadium. During the latter stages of the second quarter, a medical emergency unfolded on the side of the field, involving a member of the chain gang. Evidently, he collapsed on the sideline and needed immediate medical attention from the Ravens staff.

The United States won the Solheim Cup for the first time since 2017, as Lilia Vu secured the clinching point on the 18th hole.
The United States began the day with a 10-to-6 advantage over the Europeans, a deficit that has been a bad omen for teams in the past.
Just ask the Europeans who played in the 1999 Ryder Cup or the Americans who donned the red, white, and blue in 2012 at Medinah No. 2.
