Derrick Henry scored two third-quarter touchdowns and the Baltimore Ravens recovered from a sleepy first half to beat the New York Jets 23-10 on Sunday for their fifth straight victory.

Lamar Jackson went 13 of 23 for 153 yards and didn’t look as mobile as usual after dealing with knee and ankle issues recently. Henry was held to 64 yards on 21 carries.

The Jets (2-9) led 7-3 at halftime, their first lead after two quarters since the season opener against Pittsburgh.

Jets coach Aaron Glenn opted to go with Tyrod Taylor at QB— starting for the benched Justin Fields. 

The 36-year-old Taylor, making just his 17th start over the last eight seasons, threw for 222 yards with a touchdown and a late interception against the team that drafted him in the sixth round in the 2011 draft.

The loss clinched the Jets’ 10th straight losing season. The Jets host the Falcons next Sunday. 

Note: Derrick Henry had a realistic chance to pass four Hall of Famers on the career rushing list Sunday. He managed to move ahead of three of them. Henry is up to 12,294 yards, 12th all-time after surpassing Marcus Allen (12,243), Edgerrin James (12,246) and Marshall Faulk (12,279) on Sunday.

Jim Brown is next at 12,312.

Aaron Judge added another chapter to his Yankee legacy, becoming just the fourth player in franchise history to win a third American League MVP with the franchise.

He joined Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle on the list after another season in which he dominated opposing teams, despite playing through a flexor strain in his right elbow for much of the second half of the year.

And unlike the previous two years Judge won the award — in 2022 and last season — there was more drama involved this time around, as Seattle catcher Cal Raleigh was seen as a legitimate contender following his 60-homer season, setting the record for a catcher, as well as a switch-hitter.

But it still wasn’t enough to unseat Judge in the BBWAA voting.

Judge won the first batting title of his career (hitting a career-best .331) and also topped the majors in on-base percentage (.457), slugging percentage (.688) and OPS (1.144) by a wide margin.

Trailing early and having lost their last two games, the Green Bay Packers could have been in real trouble when quarterback Jordan Love took a big hit to his left shoulder and jogged inside for further evaluation.

Love returned from the injury to throw two touchdown passes, Malik Willis had one of his own while filling in and the Packers ended their skid by defeating the New York Giants 27-20 on Sunday.

Love provided some heroics on the go-ahead drive in the fourth quarter, finding Christian Watson in the end zone with 4:02 left to take the lead. Love completed 13 of 24 passes for 173 yards.

The defense that had been a strength in recent weeks allowed a first-quarter touchdown for the first time this season and could not stop Jameis Winston and the Giants from going on a 15-play, 85-yard scoring drive to go up 20-19.

With Winston making his first start in 11 months and Mike Kafka debuting as interim coach after the firing of Brian Daboll, the Giants (2-9) lost their fifth game in a row despite two touchdown runs from Devin Singletary and a QB sneak touchdown by Winston. The Giant QB was 19 of 29 for 201 yards and lost a fumble on the final play.

Barry Bonds is at peace with his MLB legacy.

The longtime Giants slugger and the league’s all-time home run leader no longer is eligible to be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame after falling short of the required vote threshold for 10 consecutive years from 2013-2022.

However, Bonds is the newest member of the Pittsburgh Pirates Hall of Fame after he, former manager Jim Leyland and catcher Manny Sanguillen were enshrined in a ceremony at PNC Park.

In speaking to reporters after the ceremony, Bonds admitted he finally is at peace with his Baseball Hall of Fame fate after his latest honor.

“I don’t have to worry about those things no more in my life,” Bonds said. Those hopes of making the Hall of Fame, I don’t have them anymore.” 

This is a different tone from Bonds, who has criticized Hall of Fame voters numerous times in the past for his exclusion from Cooperstown.

And while the latest honor is not the highest that Bonds is deserving of, the Home Run King is content settling for immortalization in both the Pirates and Giants franchises.

It’s the end of an error in New Jersey. The New York Football Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll, after yet another inexcusable loss — this time to the Chicago Bears. 

What were the odds of losing games in which the Giants had leads against the Cowboys, Saints, Broncos, and Bears? It proved to be Daboll’s undoing Monday.

After the Giants loss to Denver — in which the team blew a lead in the closing minutes — reports swirled that team owner John Mara wanted to fire Daboll then. But reportedly cooler heads prevailed at that time, and the coach’s job was spared. Yet another loss of that same variety was too much and Daboll was sent packing.

The New York Giants looked ready to snap their three-game losing streak in snowy conditions at Soldier Field on Sunday, but a fourth-quarter rally from the Chicago Bears turned a promising afternoon into another heartbreak. The Bears scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to defeat the Giants, 24–20.

The Giants led 17-7 late in the third quarter and 17-10 entering the fourth quarter but could not hang on.

Veteran Russell Wilson took over but couldn’t sustain the offense, and Chicago took advantage. Caleb Williams led back-to-back touchdown drives late in the fourth, including a 2-yard pass to Rome Odunze and a 17-yard scramble to the end zone that gave the Bears their first lead since the opening quarter.

The Giants’ final drive stalled near midfield, sealing their fourth straight loss and dropping them to 2–8 on the season. The Bears are 6-3.

Five days after trading cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in stunning moves, the Jets (2-7) came off their bye-week break to win their second game in a row, beating the Cleveland Browns 27-20.

Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and moments later, Isaiah Williams brought back a punt 74 yards for a score. 

With the Jets leading 27-20, Fields scrambled on third-and-16 and Devin Bush was called for holding, giving New York a first down with 1:50 left at its 44.

Hall ran three times and the Jets lined up on fourth down to let the play clock run down before planning to call a timeout and punt, but Cleveland’s Cameron Thomas jumped — and New York had a fresh set of downs and the victory.

QB Fields, who started again after seeming to have a tenuous hold on the job, was only 6 of 11 for 54 yards with the TD to Hall and his first interception of the season.

Local 802 Broadway musicians were thrilled to announce that they reached an agreement with the Broadway League that will avert a strike.

A potential strike that threatened to halt many Broadway musicals has been averted after the musicians’ union reached an agreement with the Broadway League. The American Federation of Musicians Local 802 and the Broadway League, a trade association for producers and theater owners, finalized the deal after an 18-hour bargaining session aided by a mediator. The agreement includes wage increases and enhanced contributions to the health fund, ensuring access to healthcare for musicians.

The agreement comes just days after the Broadway League reached a  separate tentative contract with the Actors’ Equity Association, the union representing performers and stage managers. The actors’ union’s deal includes a 3 percent salary increase each year over a three-year period, along with increased contributions to their health 

The Giants and 49ers both had to deal with some key injuries, but San Francisco’s superior depth made all the difference on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. New York trailed by double digits for the entire second half, on their way to a 34-24 loss.

Big Blue got off to a good start, driving for a touchdown on its opening possession with Jaxson Dart finding tight end Theo Johnson from 15 yards out. However, the 49ers soon took control with 20 unanswered points, starting on their next possession that ended with a Mac Jones touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey.

Jones added another passing score to Jauan Jennings and two field goals from Eddy Pineiro extended the lead to 13 halfway through the third quarter. Big Blue answered with a field goal from Graham Gano, but the 49ers still led 20-10 heading into the fourth quarter.

With 11:35 remaining, Brian Robinson’s 18-yard touchdown run extended the 49ers’ lead to 27-10, but the Giants put together a scoring drive to cut their deficit to 27-17 with roughly eight minutes left. Dart finished off the drive himself, with a 6-yard keeper.

McCaffrey’s short touchdown run with 4:13 to go extinguished any remaining hopes of a Giants comeback, although Dart, who ended up with 191 passing yards, threw a late 24-yard touchdown pass to Gunner Olszewski to bring the final margin back to 10 points.
