The Colorado Avalanche fall 3-2 in overtime to the Nashville Predators at Ball Arena on November 6, 2026. Nashville snaps a one‑goal deficit twice, with Ross Colton scoring the go‑ahead goal and Vitali Pinchuk netting his first NHL goal, while Colorado's Parker Kelly ties late in the second. Both goalies shine, but a power‑play penalty puts the Avs on the box; Steven Stamkos scores the winning power‑play marker, tying Luc Robitaille for fifth‑all‑time in PP goals. Former Avs like Ryan O’Reilly and Alex Kerfoot feature for Nashville, and the loss follows Colorado’s recent 7‑2 drubbing by Columbus.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is raving about rookie running back Emmett Johnson after the Nebraska alumnus exploded for 128 yards and a 73-yard touchdown on five catches against the Denver Broncos. The fifth‑round pick, praised for his work ethic and mental toughness, earned high praise despite Bieniemy’s usual dislike of Cornhuskers. With Kansas City on a two‑game losing streak and needing a spark, Johnson could see more touches as the Chiefs face the New York Jets in Week 9.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ Thursday night victory over the Ravens propelled them to at least third place in the AFC and keeps them in contention for the second seed behind the Buffalo Bills. After the win the standings read: Bills 6‑1, Broncos 6‑2 (3‑1 AFC), Jaguars 6‑2 (5‑2), Steelers 6‑2 (3‑2 AFC). Tiebreakers put Denver at the No. 2 seed, Jacksonville at No. 3 and Pittsburgh at No. 4. With the Steelers on a bye, the Jags could climb to second if the Broncos lose and the Bills stumble, but Buffalo remains the only team they can’t overtake this week.
The Hornets lose sharpshooter Kon Knueppel again after a six‑minute return, as doctors diagnose a left hamstring strain and rule him out for Friday’s Celtics game, keeping Charlotte winless at 3‑6. Meanwhile, the Nets secure a 114‑104 win over the Hornets, with veteran Julius Randle opting to stay on the bench in the closing minutes, a decision praised by coach Jordi Fernandez. Toronto Raptors sit at 4‑4 but have faltered after halftime, dropping an average of 13.5 points in the third quarter of their four losses, highlighted by a 41‑15 third‑quarter collapse against Denver.

Nuggets guard Jamal Murray might be traded if Nuggets can't turn their season around.

In Week 8, the Chiefs lost 28-24 to the Broncos after a false‑start penalty on Jaylon Moore erased Patrick Mahomes’ apparent game‑winning TD. Chiefs fans flooded social media questioning the call, but Broncos former safety Justin Simmons fired off a fiery rant, accusing the fans of cheating and defending the officials’ decision. Simmons, speaking on DNVR Sports, blasted the backlash and highlighted a Broncos linebacker’s observation that Moore’s foot movement constituted a false start. Chiefs coach Andy Reid and Mahomes both expressed doubt about the penalty, yet officials stood by it. The controversy fuels the ongoing rivalry between Broncos Country and Chiefs supporters.
After a 7-2 defeat to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Colorado Avalanche sit 9‑6‑1 with 19 points, fourth in the Central Division, but coach Jared Bednar urges patience, not panic. He stresses fixing the team's hot‑cold consistency—only one regulation loss at home versus five on the road. Leaders like Cale Makar and Nazem Kadri echo the need for better mindset and energy. Bednar says he’s tailoring his approach to individuals and lines to boost engagement and defense, hoping the Avs can level up and find rhythm before the season’s midway point.
Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga back on the practice field Thursday after missing three games with an ankle injury suffered in Week 5 against the Chargers. He participated in limited drills, signaling progress before Denver's Week 9 matchup with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium. Hufanga has logged 23 tackles, a sack, three TFLs, three PDs, two interceptions (one returned for a TD) and a forced fumble in his first five games. With fellow starter Brandon Jones also sidelined by a hamstring, Hufanga’s health could be pivotal as the Broncos aim for a fifth straight win, improving to 6‑2 in the AFC West.
After a 6-2 defeat to Columbus, the Colorado Avalanche (9‑6‑1) host the Nashville Predators (6‑4‑5) on Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. MT. Nashville leads the season series 1‑0, having won the first meeting 6‑2, and arrives on a two‑game winning streak after a shootout win over Tampa Bay and a victory at Carolina. Colorado must rebound offensively and tighten defense, with a projected lineup featuring MacKinnon, Landeskog, and Makar in goal behind Blackwood and Wedgewood. Nashville counters with star‑forward Steven Stamkos, Roman Josi on defense, and Juuse Saros in net. The game could flip the series narrative as both clubs seek momentum.
The Denver Broncos aim for a 7‑2 record and a bye week as they travel to face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The headline matchup pits cornerback Patrick Surtain II against Panthers’ leading receiver Tet McMillan, who averages 13.5 yards per catch and posted a 192‑yard, two‑TD game against Detroit. Meanwhile, Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton earns AFC Defensive Player of the Month for October with 68 tackles, two sacks and a historic back‑to‑back 14‑tackle, sack performances. Head coach Sean Payton is nominated for the USAA Salute to Service award for his veteran‑service dog work. The injury report shows safety Talanoa Hufanga limited, while Kris Abrams‑Draine and defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike miss practice.
After a 28-24 loss to the Denver Broncos, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes confronts head coach Andy Reid’s doubts about using quarterback sneaks. Mahomes, who has thrown for 1,795 yards and 12 TDs in seven games, says he’s willing to run the sneak but wants it to work, recalling his 2019 knee injury on a similar play. The Broncos’ comeback highlighted Kansas City’s short‑yardage woes – the Chiefs convert 20 of 34 two‑yard situations but have only two rushing TDs inside the 5‑yard line. With the Chiefs now 5‑2 and trailing Denver in the AFC West, the debate over Mahomes’ role in goal‑line attacks heats up ahead of their next game against the New York Jets.

The Kansas City Chiefs aim to rebound in Week 9 against the New York Jets after back‑to‑back losses to Seattle (20‑3) and Denver (28‑24). Favorited by 10 points, Kansas City (5‑2) gets a boost as Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice return to full practice. Kelce, battling a lingering ankle issue, posts 29 receptions for 410 yards and two TDs, while Rice, after hamstring and knee concerns, records 20 catches for 243 yards and two scores. Mahomes hopes the now‑healthy top targets will reignite the offense.

The New York Giants held workouts Thursday for four wide receivers—Maurice Alexander, River Cracraft, Steven Sims, and Wes Pahl, according to the NFL’s Official Transaction Wire. The focus is on veteran WR River Cracraft, 32, who has bounced between practice squads and futures contracts with the Broncos, Eagles, 49ers, Dolphins, Seahawks and Commanders, appearing in a single 2025 game with no stats.
