Kone aiming to recover in time for Sassuolo

Roma needs its big names. In the league, they’ve managed to do without them, winning and convincing even without some of their brightest stars.

But the comeback by Manchester United revealed a problem: when the game gets tough and tense, the Giallorossi risk losing their bearings. This is primarily a mental, rather than physical, factor that Gasperini will need to work on.

In the meantime, however, a helping hand could come from the infirmary.

Titans’ biggest problem to fix during 2026 bye week appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Tennessee Titans are approaching their 2026 bye week with more questions than answers. Sure, Cam Ward’s development remains central to the franchise’s long-term ambitions. However, Tennessee’s struggles extend well beyond the quarterback position. The offense has shown occasional flashes of explosiveness. The defense, though, has repeatedly failed to provide the resistance necessary to keep games competitive.

Gael Monfils was given a fond send-off in a special ceremony at the Paris Masters as he officially called time on his 22-year career.

There’s an international break after this weekend’s matches, but for a fair few Chelsea boys, there will be no rest. And among those set for national team duty are our trio or Argentinians.
Trio? — you might ask. Who all could that be? After all, Enzo Fernández is gone. Alejandro Garnacho is gone.

So full disclosure: we recorded this before the Sassuolo game. And our collective emotional state was considerably lower. We were, in fact, struggling with our feelings. The podcast reflects that because, in hindsight, we were a little bit grim about Fiorentina’s prospects going forward. That’s apparent in pretty much everything we discussed.

3A Semifinals
No.

MONTREAL (AP) — Dylan Samberg scored in overtime as the Winnipeg Jets snapped a nine-game losing streak by storming back from a four-goal deficit to beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-4 on Tuesday night.

Montreal led 4-0 when Cole Caufield scored his second of the game and 10th of the season 46 seconds into the third period.
But Winnipeg scored four goals in 2 minutes, 8 seconds to tie the game with 32 seconds remaining in regulation on Kyle Connor’s power-play strike, his second goal of the game.

From time to time, the NFL’s current structure has created unfair results, with the best of four bad teams assigned to a predetermined division earning a playoff berth and the home game that goes along with it.
This year, the NFC has two very strong divisions, one so-so division, and one very weak division.
Here’s the basic reality. With the four NFC division winners getting tickets to the playoff party, the wild-card berths will go to three teams.
