Brittany Mahroads reacts to quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ off‑field gesture after the Chiefs’ 28‑24 loss to Denver on Nov. 5, 2026. While Patrick posted a solid 30‑for‑41, 321‑yard, three‑TD performance, the team fell to 5‑2 following a controversial false‑start call that erased a potential game‑winning touchdown. Brittany, a former UT‑Tyler soccer star and co‑owner of the NWSL’s Kansas City Current, shared an Instagram story highlighting Patrick’s donation of Adidas Adizero EVO SL ATR shoes to the UT Tyler Patriots women’s soccer team and slammed the penalty call. The Chiefs look to bounce back against the New York Jets Sunday.

The New York Mets appoint Johnny Washington as co‑hitting coach alongside returning Troy Snitker, adding him to Andy Green’s staff. Washington spent 2026 as the Atlanta Braves’ minor‑league hitting coordinator after stints with the Padres, Cubs, Angels and a KBO team. He previously worked with Mets players Jared Young and Luis Torrens. The hire follows the Mets’ search for hitting help, with Kevin Long and John Mallee ruled out, and comes as the club finished near the league bottom in OPS and runs in 2026. Fellow assistants Rafael Fernandez and AJ Ellis also join the revamped coaching roster.
In Week 8 at the New York Jets, the Raiders’ special teams sparked a comeback when reserve running back Dylan Laube returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown—the first Raiders kickoff return TD since 2011 and the NFL’s first of the 2026 season. The play gave Las Vegas a brief 14‑13 lead before the Jets answered, but Laube’s 144 yards on three returns (48‑yard average) and a near‑block on a field‑goal attempt earned him AFC Special Teams Player of the Week. Coach Joe DeCamillis praised the unit’s effort, highlighting blocks by Isaiah Pola‑Mao and Ian Thomas, while quarterback Kirk Cousins called the return a "seven‑point gift" that could fuel future road wins.
CeeDee Lamb openly vents frustration over the Dallas Cowboys' struggling offense at the midway point of the 2026 NFL season. Despite his personal production—60 catches, 709 yards, and six touchdowns—Lamb admits the team “stops itself,” citing missed opportunities and disappointing lapses. The Cowboys sit 3‑5, second in the NFC East but 13th in the conference, and face the Indianapolis Colts in Week 9 on Nov. 8. Lamb’s candor highlights the urgency for the offense, led by Dak Prescott and Javonte Williams, to execute big plays and revive playoff hopes.
Freshman quarterback Luke Fahey speaks for the first time on Ryan Day’s radio show, pledging to give "one hundred percent" as Ohio State prepares to face Oregon Saturday. He reflects on his rough debut against USC — 21‑38, 260 yards, one TD in a 30‑18 loss — and the quick transition from Julian Sayin’s injury to his starter role. Coach Day emphasizes the need to support the young signal‑caller as the Buckeyes, now 6‑2, enter the playoff stretch with Sayin out and a critical game against a 5‑3 Oregon team that allows 208 passing yards per game. Fahey’s first home start at Ohio Stadium is set for 3:30 p.m. ET.

The Seattle Seahawks fall 34-17 to the Chicago Bears on Monday night, exposing a stark contrast between a solid overall defense and a disastrous red‑zone performance. Despite allowing the fifth‑fewest points league‑wide, Seattle ranks last in red‑zone efficiency, giving up touchdowns on all four Bears trips inside the 20. Defensive anchor DeMarcus Lawrence publicly accepts responsibility, saying he must tighten his gap awareness. With the team now three losses in four games, the Seahawks aim to rebound against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday.

With nine points needed to clinch at Homestead, the marathon becomes a second finish line while the title fight intensifies.

French outlet Foot Mercato says United also contacted Julian Nagelsmann and Unai Emery, but Deschamps – the 2018 World Cup‑winning coach – appears uninterested, citing the club’s chaotic situation.

Carrick’s job remains uncertain despite the spectacular Europa victory.

Starting tackles Dion Dawkins and Alec Anderson sit out practice, joining wideout Josh Palmer, RB Ty Johnson and DT Greg Gaines on the list, while several others are limited.

South Bend welcomes the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy ahead of Saturday night’s showdown between No. 1 Miami and No. 11 Notre Dame. Fans can snap free photos with the 24‑karat gold trophy at two Walmart locations—Ireland Rd (noon‑2 p.m.) and Indian Ridge Rd (3‑5 p.m.)—on Friday. The trophy will sit inside Notre Doe Stadium for the 7:30 p.m. ET game, where the Irish (7‑1, just outside the CFP top‑12) aim to avenge last season’s loss to Miami and earn a signature win. Miami, 8‑0, arrives vulnerable after two OT battles and a slip‑shod pass defense, with leading receiver Malachi Toney doubtful. Odds favor Notre Dame by 7.5 points.
UCF wide receiver Jonathan Bibbs, a former North Carolina transfer who originally came from Louisiana‑Monroe, plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal after a limited 2026 season. The redshirt sophomore has recorded five catches for 74 yards and one touchdown — his sole score coming on a 23‑yard reception in UCF’s 73‑6 win over Bethune‑Cookman. With only four appearances in the first seven games and ranking seventh in receptions on a 4‑4 Knights squad, Bibbs’ role has stayed minimal. The portal window opens Jan. 4, and his prior 383‑yard season at Louisiana‑Monroe could attract Power‑4 interest.
Durzi has been playing through something for a while. Now the Rangers are making it official, and James Reimer's time in New York may be coming to an end.
Ex-Newcastle ace Allan Saint-Maximin leads a very different life away from football and he recently turned down £22m.
The New York Rangers waive veteran netminder James Reimer after a brief, uneven stint—he logged just one period this season with a 9.00 GAA and .625 save percentage. The move follows the conditioning loan of Joonas Korpisalo to the AHL’s Hartford Wolfpack, where he posted a 34‑save effort despite a 4-1 loss, prompting coach Mike Sullivan to anticipate his return. With Reimer’s $850K contract now redundant and Dylan Garand emerging as the primary backup, the Rangers clear a roster spot for Korpisalo.
The Ravens officially place quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley on injured reserve ahead of Week 9, sidelining both for at least four games. Jackson will undergo thumb surgery with an uncertain return timeline, while Huntley's turf‑toe injury appears season‑ending. Undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano gets the start against Jacksonville, and the team expects to add Jacoby Brissett from the Cardinals for the Chargers matchup in Week 10. Baltimore drops to 4‑5 and faces a likely defeat by the Jaguars, but a win‑or‑lose stretch against the winless Chargers, Texans and Panthers could bring them to 6‑7 before their Week 13 bye. Post‑bye playoff hopes hinge on Jackson’s health and return.
