🏈 Football five

1. Crows crushed Broncos41-10, with two of Baltimore’s biggest stars making history. Lamar Jackson had his own 4th career game with excellent passer ratingpassing Ben Roethlisberger for most of all times and Derrick Henry scored his 100th career touchdown.
2. Eagles lasted a while victory 28-23 over JaguarsPhiladelphia’s fourth win in a row. Saquon Barkley had 199 yards from scrimmage, two touchdowns and one ridiculous obstacle back I can’t believe this is humanly possible. Nakobe Dean made the decisive interception.
3. Game of the day belongs to the category RamsVictory in overtime with a score of 26:20. Seahawks including some truly incredible shots – good and bad – from Matthew Stafford And Geno Smith. DeMarcus Robinson caught the game winner with one hand, and he was only able to do it because Puka Nacua received ejected for striking. This game had it all, including a 103-yard pick-six for Los Angeles. Camren Kinchens. Los Angeles received a B+ from John Breech. Week 9, classes.
4. Dolphin-Bills was very close to the game of the day, with Tyler Bass kicking a 61-yard field goal late to give Buffalo a 30–27 victory. Josh Allen was amazing, but Miami’s shorthanded defense was not, landing it in the “losers” category. Cody Benjamin’s Week 9 Winners and Losers.
5. Vikings returned to action, defeating the team with a score of 21-13. Colts.

🏈 Good morning everyone, and especially…

Detroit Lions

Come rain, come light, come any enemy, it’s all coming. Lions. Detroit improved to 7–1 and maintained its NFC North lead with a 24–14 victory in the tournament. Packers.

It was the Lions’ first game outside of this season, but they didn’t seem bothered. Jared Goff let all doubters know. After all, why would you doubt it?

• Goff completed 18 of 22 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown. His 140.1 passer rating over his last six games is the best in any six game in NFL history.
• David Montgomery And Jamir Gibbs combined for 138 yards rushing and a score.
• Kerby Joseph he had a pick-six (his six interceptions are tied for the league lead) and Green Bay scored just one touchdown on four trips to the red zone.
• Brian Branch‘s ejection was a bad point for Detroit, but otherwise all was well in the bad weather.

I love everything about this team, from the way they position their playmakers, how aggressive their defense is, how they coach them and how they approach the game. Jeff Kerr says The Lions are the best team in the NFL..

👍 Honorable mentions

🤬 And not such a good morning for…

DALLAS COWBOYS

“We fucking suck.”

That’s it Dak Prescott I think he said Bye sidelined with a hamstring injuryand it’s hard to argue with that. Dallas has lost three straight and is 3-5 this season after losing to Dallas 27-21. Falcons it included, in addition to the commentary and Prescott’s injury, CeeDee Lamb injured my shoulder And Mike McCarthy slam the tablet in disappointment. Prescott and Lamb will undergo MRIs. (There are no updates on the tablet.)

This is clearly a bad football team and we have mentioned problems throughout the squad. IN “Sorting the Sunday Pile” Will Brinson says Jerry Jones is responsible for the collapse.

• Brinson: “Any other general manager who put together this roster, with these contract situations, well, he would have been fired… The same guy who waited to sign Dak. The same guy who was waiting to sign Lamb. The same guy who said Derrick Henry was too expensive (because he waited even though Henry didn’t. The same guy who added nothing but). Ezekiel Elliott – who was inactive Sunday and did not travel to Atlanta for disciplinary reasons – to the runners’ room this offseason. The same guy who said the team was all in in 2024. The same guy who thought the defense would be fine.”

Jones says Dallas “there are some things” regarding transactionsbut like many of his decisions, it may already be too late.

👎 Not so honorable mentions

🏈 College Football Results: Ohio State Holds Penn State, Two Other Undefeated Falls

Ohio They’re not the dominant team you’d expect heading into the season, but they’re still getting the job done… and they’re still winning. Penn State. The Buckeyes took position on the goal line with just over five minutes remaining and then ran out the clock for a 20-13 victory, their eighth straight triumph over the Nittany Lions.

When he and his team were in the spotlight, Ryan Day won a hard victory and silenced the noise– writes Dennis Dodd. Meanwhile, James Franklin fell to 1-10 against Ohio State, had tense post-match conversation with a fan and ultimately let his team down…again– writes Tom Fornelli.

If there’s a silver lining, it’s that the Nittany Lions still have 90.1% chance of making the College Football Playoff as projected by SportsLine and Matt Norlander provided some needed perspective.

Thus, for the first time this season, Penn State falls short. The Nittany Lions weren’t alone in this.

• Pittsburgh received drunk, 48-25To SMU. ACC race is wildwhen everyone is looking at Miami after the hurricanes hit Duke, 53-31.
• Iowa lost Texas Tech, 23-22with a star Taj Brooks rushes for a touchdown with less than 20 seconds remaining.

As for the top two teams, Oregon passed by MichiganAnd Georgia crowned Florida after DJ Lagway was taken away.

🏀 Men’s college basketball season review: champ picks, bracketology and more

Were soooo back. College basketball starts tonight and we have 68 storylines hot from the press!

Let’s start with No. 7 Duke And Cooper FlaggWHO open tonight against Maine. Look, I get it. We talk about Duke and their freshmen year after year. Flagg may be different though. He’s No. 1 on Cameron Salerno’s list. best freshmen – a truly, truly talented roster – and as such, trying to reverse the recent trend freshman teams don’t win titles.

Flagg is also top power forward in our Top 100 and 1 playerbut he No best player overall. This belongs Mark Searsand him Alabama Crimson Tide are at the top Matt Norlander’s Top 100 and 1 Teams.

Will they finish there? We have expert selections for Final Four and National Championshipwith five different projected winners among our seven experts. I like Gary Parrish’s choice:

• Parrish: “Kansas — They added two projected starters (AJ Storr from Wisconsin And Rylan Griffen from Alabama) and three other rotation pieces… Combine that with three returning starters (Dajuan Harris, KJ Adams And Hunter Dickinson) and two freshmen from the top 50 (Flory Bidunga And Rakiz Passmore), and again, depth shouldn’t be an issue this season. Simply put, I believe KU has the best lineup to win six games in a row in the national elimination tournament.”

And don’t look now, but Jerry Palm has already done it. Bracketology and it works.

Oh, and for you night owls, don’t miss out No. 8 Baylor and No. 6 Gonzaga tonight.

JuJu Watkins the brightest star in the City of Lights: She’s second in City of Lights Isabel Gonzalez. 10 best players in the countryand Isabel says that her Trojans are one of the four teams capable of winning it all.

1. South Carolina — “Except Camilla CardosoThe Gamecocks return all the key players from the 38-0 season that led to them winning the 2024 national title. … Joining MiLaysia Fulwiley in the backcourt – three-point shooter Te Hina Paopao And Raven Johnsonwho led the team in interceptions last season.”
2. YUKON — The Huskies just advanced to the Final Four with a rotation of just seven players, and they could have a few more healthy players this year. Paige Bueckers came back last season and was physically stronger and a better defender.”
3. USC — “Watkins is back with Raya Marshall — team leader in rebounds and blocks. … They added even more talent with Oregon State‘s Thalia von Ohlhoffen And Stanford‘s Kiki Iriafen“
4. Texas — “Texas has made it to the Elite Eight three of its last four, but this is the first time in a long time that the team has shown this much depth.”
