Stroud is held to a season‑low 153 passing yards. The Giants, now 4‑2‑1 entering a Week 8 bye, still cope with key injuries to Tremaine Edmunds, Jevon Holland and Greg Newsome II.

Week in Review: Spurs get out to a rough start to the 2026-27 season
The San Antonio Spurs stumble out of the gate, dropping their first two games (104-116 to OKC, 110-114 to Houston) before snapping a win 106-122 at Dallas against a depleted Mavericks squad. Victor Wembanyama struggles with his shot (2‑for‑13 vs. Thunder, 5‑for‑28 overall) and rookie Jaylen Williams suffers a likely season‑ending leg injury. Coach Mitch Johnson’s new three‑guard lineup (De’Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper) shows mixed results, posting a modest +1.4 net rating but the team shoots only 41.5% overall and 28.1% from three. The Spurs sit 1‑2, ninth in the West, with a softer 12‑game stretch ahead that could lift them toward the top of the conference.

Tip‑off is set for 6:30 p.m. CT at Kaseya Center.

The Vikings See a Bit of Salt Rubbed in the Wound
The Vikings’ decision to trade rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy to the New York Giants for a fifth‑round pick is drawing sharp criticism as McCarthy leads the Giants to a 27‑point overtime win over the Houston Texans. He completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards, showcasing poise against a strong Texans defense. Analysts like Ari Meirov, Mina Kimes, and Bill Simmons argue Minnesota missed a rare chance to develop a high‑potential QB, especially as their current backup Max Brosmer pales in comparison.

Can Rockets rely on Steven Adams?
With the Rockets unbeaten at 3‑0, head coach Ime Udoka appears to be shelving veteran center Steven Adams after just one game this season. Adams, plagued by durability issues – 32 games last year and a missed 2023‑24 campaign – raises concerns about the Rockets' long‑term big‑man depth. The article argues the team should consider Oscar Tshiebwe as a backup, noting his 15.1% offensive rebounding rate (8th in the league) as a near‑match to Adams’ 18.9% rank‑3 performance. While Capela remains an option, his limited minutes and defensive liabilities make him a stopgap. The piece warns Houston must secure a reliable front‑court spare or target a 2027 draft prospect soon.

The Mavericks open the 2026‑27 season 1‑2, dropping to Houston (128‑110) and San Antonio (122‑106) but beating Indiana (121‑105). Rookie Cooper Flagg shines with 23 points per game before a shoulder injury sidelines him for the Spurs game. Despite ‘quarter‑by‑quarter’ inconsistencies, Dallas ranks in the league’s top half for offensive rating (112.0) and shows flashes of strong defense.
