  • New York Jets 24, Tennessee Titans 17

    New York Jets 24, Tennessee Titans 17

    Rodgers struggled early, but delivered just enough clutch throws to make the Jets 1-1 after their two-game road trip to open the season.

    Titans quarterback Will Levis helped the Jets out with a fumble and an interception, and the Titans fell to 0-2.

    Rodgers finished the game 18-of-30 for 176 yards and two touchdowns. But the only thing people will remember from this one is the seven-play, 74-yard drive he orchestrated in the fourth quarter to win the game.

    The fourth quarter opened with the game tied at 17-17. Each team punted on their first two possessions of the fourth and then the Jets broke through.

    Rookie running back Braelon Allen scored his second touchdown of the day. This one was a 20-yard run after he scored on a reception earlier in the game. The Allen touchdown put the Jets up 24-17 with 4:31 left in the game.

    The Jets defense then held off one last drive from the Titans.

  • Giants Fall To Commanders, 21-18

    Giants Fall To Commanders, 21-18

    Jayden Daniels got the wind knocked out of him, missed a snap and came back like nothing went wrong. He led the Washington Commanders down the field over and over without a touchdown to show for it and made sure they still put points on the board.

    When it mattered most, Daniels got the job done and picked up his first win as an NFL quarterback, beating the New York Giants 21-18 on Sunday thanks to a franchise-record seven field goals from new kicker Austin Seibert.

    Daniels engineered the go-ahead, 65-yard drive in the final minutes to get the ball into the red zone, setting up Seibert’s 30-yard field goal that won it as the clock expired. Seibert’s 7-for-7 performance came days after he replaced Cade York, who missed each of his two attempts in the season opener.

    The Commanders (1-1) came back to win an ugly game after the Giants lost kicker Graham Gano to an injury on the opening kickoff. Not having Gano forced New York (0-2) to go for it on several fourth-down situations after punter Jamie Gillan missed an extra point attempt early.

    Giants QB Daniel Jones, who after a rough Week 1 went a respectable 16 of 28 for 178 yards and two touchdown passes. 

  • Yankees Battle Red Sox, Win in Extra Innings 

    Yankees Battle Red Sox, Win in Extra Innings 

    The Red Sox kept opening the door for the Yankees, who refused to walk through it. Clearly they were just waiting for the drama to peak before they finally made their move.

    After Clay Holmes recorded the final two outs of the top of the 10th, Juan Soto delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the inning to lift the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night in The Bronx.

    Leading off the inning against Red Sox reliever Josh Winckowski, Soto  shot a line drive up the middle, past the dive of shortstop Trevor Story, scoring pinch-runner Jon Berti from second to give the Yankees their second straight extra-inning, walk-off win.

    With the Orioles idle, the Yankees (85-62) extended their lead atop the AL East to two games with 15 games remaining.

    “With the Orioles behind us, we’re trying to get as much distance as possible and win as many games as possible,” said Nestor Cortes, who delivered five innings of one-run ball in his return to the rotation.

  • 49ers Beat Jets, 32-19

    49ers Beat Jets, 32-19

    In the New York Jets’ 2024 season opener, on a beautiful clear, warm evening in Santa Clara, California, the Jets lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 32 – 19. The game was not as close as the score might indicate.

    Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was back. And the New York Jets, one year later, provided a few glimpses of resembling the contender that they always believed they’d be with the four-time league MVP in their lineup.

    But resembling a competent team here and there is not nearly enough against the defending NFC champs. The San Francisco 49ers began their latest bid to make a championship run by beating Rodgers and the Jets convincingly in the first Monday night game of the NFL season.

    With the loss the Jets open the season at 0-1. Next week the Jets look  to even up their record as they remain on the road to take on the 0-1 Tennessee Titans.

  • Vikings Roll Over Giants 28-6

    Vikings Roll Over Giants 28-6

    The New York Giants hosted the Minnesota Vikings at MetLife Stadium in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season. The weather was picture-perfect for football as Big Blue celebrated the start of their 100th season in the NFL.

    The Giants wore their ‘Century Red’ uniforms to commemorate their 100 years in the league. Ring of honor quarterbacks Phil Simms and Eli Manning rang the bell before the game, and Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor handled the honorary coin toss.

    Viking QB Sam Darnold had one of those super performances at MetLife Stadium that New York Jets fans hoped to see weekly after he was drafted No. 3 overall in 2018. 

    Six years later as a member of the Minnesota Vikings, he did it against, of all teams, the Giants on his old home turf.

    Darnold threw two touchdown passes in a highly efficient performance and Andrew Van Ginkel scored on a spectacular one-handed 10-yard interception return to lead the Vikings to an easy 28-6 victory over the woeful New York Giants on Sunday.

    Giants QB Daniel Jones did not play well and finished 22 of 42 for 186 yards and two interceptions.

  • Mets Adjust Roster for Playoff Push

    Mets Adjust Roster for Playoff Push

    The Mets have made their decisions about who they will add as rosters expanded to 28 players on Sunday.

    The team announced that they have recalled left-handed reliever Alex Young and selected infielder Pablo Reyes from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Alex Young will bolster the Mets bullpen with a second left-handed reliever alongside Danny Young while Reyes offers another versatile option in the infield.

    The Mets have put themselves in a position to push for a playoff spot. Following Saturday’s second straight win over the White Sox, the Mets improved to 72-64 and two games back of the final National League wild card spot. They are four games behind both the Padres and Diamondbacks for the top two wild card spots.

  • Mets Looking for Wild Card Playoff Spot

    Mets Looking for Wild Card Playoff Spot

    The New York Mets appear unstoppable right now.Now in the home stretch, the Mets have kept their eyes on the prize and swept the Red Sox in another clear signal of intent. Talk about a perfect way to begin a crucial homestand.

    As a result, the Mets have now won seven straight and are gathering all the momentum at exactly the perfect time. They remain hot on the heels of the Braves for the final Wild Card spot in the National League.  New York is also now a season-high 12 games over .500.

    This team appears to be getting red-hot when it matters the most. We should be in for a very fun September.

    Jesse Winker could go down as the best pickup of the entire trade deadline. He’s certainly in the conversation. The one-time Mets nemesis since arriving in Queens has come up with big hit after big hit. 

    Everything seems to be going perfectly for the Mets right now. Case in point: Kodai Senga could return before the end of the regular season. 

    Furthermore, Paul Blackburn is set to return to the rotation, so the Mets are getting key reinforcements back when they need them the most. Having a healthy rotation could prove to be the difference down the stretch.

  • Chiefs Hold on for Thrilling Win Over Ravens

    Chiefs Hold on for Thrilling Win Over Ravens

    An average 28.9 million viewers tuned into NBC and Peacock to watch the Chiefs narrowly defeat the Ravens 27-20 on Thursday, to become the most-watched regular-season opener in NFL history. In comparison, the 2023 season opener between the Chiefs and Detroit Lions attracted an average 27.5 million viewers.

    The 2024 NFL regular-season kickoff broadcast peaked at 33 million viewers during the second quarter around 9:30-9:45 p.m. ET, but the drama came late in the matchup.

    With Baltimore trailing by a touchdown with seconds left on the clock, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson connected with tight end Isaiah Likely in the back of the end zone for what appeared to be a touchdown. Ravens coach John Harbaugh was holding up two fingers, signaling a two-point conversion attempt for the win, but replay review showed Likely’s toe narrowly landed out of bounds.

    “He’s got to wear white cleats next time,” Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes joked after the win.

  • Chiefs Give Contract Extension to Coach Andy Reid

    Chiefs Give Contract Extension to Coach Andy Reid

    Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has a new deal.

    So do team president Mark Donovan and general manager Brett Veach. The Chiefs announced that they have signed all three to contract extensions.

    The Chiefs didn’t announce terms of the deals but said that “the leadership team of the Chiefs will remain in place for the long-term future.” 

    The deal will also make Andy Reid the NFL’s highest-paid head coach. 

    “Mark, Brett and Andy have achieved historic success together, and we are thrilled that they will continue in their roles for many years to come,” said Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt.

  • Mets Top White Sox 5-3

    Mets Top White Sox 5-3

    The 9th inning was scary. Many 9th innings have been scary for this Mets team. However, once again, the Mets manager showed faith in his player, and the faith paid off in the win.

    When you face a team like the White Sox, the goal is to get on the board early. The Mets big power-hitting first baseman got things started on Saturday. In the 1st inning, with Mark Vientos on base, Pete Alonso took a first-pitch slider from White Sox starter Davis Martin over the left field wall for a two-run home run. 

    It was Alonso’s 30th home run of the season. It was also his first ever against the White Sox. Alonso now has hit 30 home runs for the fourth consecutive season.
