Waiver‑wire addition Bam Knight shines in Arizona’s 30‑16 loss to Denver, handling 43 of the Cardinals’ 53% offensive snaps. He logged 48 rushing yards on seven carries and caught three passes for 15 yards, out‑producing fellow back Tyler Allgeier despite fewer touches. Over the past two games Knight has amassed 161 yards from scrimmage on 27 touches, a big jump from only three carries early in the season. With Jeremiah Love still sidelined by an ankle injury, Knight’s expanded role makes him a tempting flex pick in 12‑team PPR leagues, especially against a Dallas defense that’s allowed 899 rushing yards in six games.

The Phoenix Suns opened the 2026‑27 season 1‑1, enduring a 41‑point loss to Portland before beating a Stephen Curry‑less Golden State Warriors squad at home. New acquisitions Luke Kennard and Miles Bridges showed flashes, with Kennard hitting three threes and Bridges scoring eight points. However, the starting backcourt of Jalen Green and Devin Booker struggled, posting a –21.6 net rating, while rookie center Khaman Maluach contributed modestly on offense but improved rebounding. The Suns now face a two‑game stretch against the Oklahoma City Thunder and Denver Nuggets, both top Western Conference teams, this week.

Ryan Ritter’s 2026 stint with the Colorado Rockies ends in doubt after a 13‑game, .158‑average showing that left him with just three singles and one RBI. Despite a strong Triple‑A track record – .323/.430/.460 with five homers and 12 triples in 60 games – his major‑league power and consistency have stalled, resulting in an -0.1 rWAR and a return to Albuquerque. The article questions whether the 25‑year‑old infielder can break his apparent minor‑league ceiling and earn another roster spot under GM Paul DePodesta.
After missing most of the 2026 season due to a hamate injury and a delayed recovery, Rockies outfielder Jared Thomas returns to the Arizona Fall League with a clear mission: regain his swing and confidence. He posted .239/.327/.457 over 14 games, including a 5-for-13 stretch that earned him AFL Week 3 honors, and added a home run, two triples, three doubles, nine RBI and five steals. Thomas emphasizes patience, a positive mindset, and the support of teammates like Blake Wright while adapting to experimental outfield positioning rules at Salt River Fields.
Depth has been a constant concern for the Denver Nuggets and that could very well continue through the 2026-27 NBA campaign, so if the franchise is going to play serious basketball into May, then Cam Johnson will need to consistently provide difference-making production. The veteran forward was efficient last season, but he occasionally faded into […]

Arizona’s Jacoby Brissett tosses for 272 yards and a TD, while tight end Trey McBride posts 111 receiving yards, but the Cardinals fall to 2-5. Denver improves its AFC West standing behind a balanced 377‑353 yard attack, while the loss leaves Arizona last in the NFC West.

Patrick Mahomes suffered his first career start without a red‑zone visit as the Kansas City Chiefs fell 20‑3 to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 26, 2026. The loss snapped a 152‑game streak—spanning regular season and playoffs—where Mahomes had at least one red‑zone appearance. Mahomes completed 19 of 33 passes for 165 yards and an interception, while the Chiefs managed just 213 total yards and three of 11 third‑down conversions. Seattle’s defense stifled the offense, and Jaxon Smith‑Njigba hauled in nine catches for 150 yards and a TD. The defeat drops Kansas City to 5‑1 heading into a Week 8 clash with Denver.

Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos bounced back with a 30‑16 victory over the Cardinals, highlighted by QB Bo Nix’s 62‑yard rushing TD and a strong defensive showing from LB Alex Singleton.

The AFC West now stands with Kansas City at 5‑1, Denver 5‑2, Raiders 3‑4, and the Chargers 0‑6, setting up a pivotal Broncos‑Chiefs clash next week.
The Phinsider reviews the Miami Dolphins' most consequential trades of the past year as they rebuild. In November 2025, the team dealt edge rusher Jaelan Phillips to the Eagles for a 2026 third‑round pick used on blocking tight end Will Kacmarek, while Phillips secured a $120 million contract with the Panthers. In March 2026, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick moves to the Jets for a seventh‑round pick that became EDGE Max Llewellyn, and Fitzpatrick posts solid numbers for New York. Also in March, the Dolphins shipped wideout Jaylen Waddle and a fourth‑rounder to Denver for multiple high picks, later turning those into a trade package that brought CB Chris Johnson and several rookie depth players, while absorbing a $26.3 million dead‑cap hit. The recap weighs each deal’s financial impact and on‑field results to gauge whether the Dolphins’ aggressive roster shake‑up is paying off.

Fans of the Arizona Cardinals believe the team is cursed after a memorial for conservative activist Charlie Kirk was held at State Farm Stadium on September 21, 2025. Since that event, the Cardinals have lost ten straight home games, including a 30-16 defeat to the Denver Broncos that dropped them to a 2-5 record. Their last home victory came on September 14, 2025, a 27-22 win over the Carolina Panthers, and they haven’t reached the playoffs since 2021, with their last playoff win in 2016. Attendance remains high, but victories at home remain elusive.
