Veteran quarterback Jameis Winston admits he’s fine with being demoted after the Giants replace him with rookie J.J. McCarthy. Winston, who started four of six games this season and posted a 57% completion rate, 957 yards and seven TDs, says his goal remains a Super Bowl 61 victory, whether he’s starter or backup. McCarthy’s 71.4% completion rate and 252 yards sparked a 27‑21 win over Houston, prompting coach John Harbaugh to name him the starter moving forward. Winston stays optimistic, emphasizing teamwork and the team’s playoff aspirations.

Jayson Tatum seals Boston's 125-124 OT win over the Brooklyn Nets with a 17‑foot buzzer‑beater—the first of his career since returning from a torn right Achilles in the 2025 playoffs. The star drops 40 points, hits a career‑high 18 of 22 free throws and adds eight assists, tying Bill Sharman for third‑most buzzer‑beaters in Celtics history. The shot also makes Tatum the first player ever to record 40 points and a game‑winning buzzer‑beater before November. The victory moves the Celtics to 3‑1 overall and unbeaten at TD Garden, while the Nets fall to 0‑4.

The New York Knicks got off to a slow start in the 2026-27 season, losing their first three games. Insinuations of a championship hangover following last season's title started floating about.
The Brooklyn Nets fell just short of their season‑opening win, losing to the Boston Celtics 125‑124 in overtime on Oct. 27, 2026. Rookie Nolan Traoré earned his first start, scoring 15 points on 6‑9 shooting and briefly leading a strong first half, but cramping forced his exit early in the fourth. The Nets’ early defense, bolstered by Day’Ron Sharpe, held Boston’s normally lethal 3‑point shooting at 2‑15, yet the Celtics rallied in the third, shooting 8‑14 from deep to regain the lead. A late surge from Michael Porter Jr. and Mikel Brown Jr., who combined for 25 points, wasn’t enough as Boston clinched the win in OT.
Jayson Tatum speaks up after leading Celtics to 125-124 win over Nets.
Brooklyn passed on a potential trade for All‑Star forward Jaylen Brown, fearing the distraction his close friendship with Kyrie Irving could cause, despite the Celtics' interest and rumored offers involving Michael Porter Jr., Day’Ron Sharpe and draft picks. Meanwhile, Nets guard Egor Demin exits early with a leg contusion after logging two points and two assists in a loss to Boston. Knicks assistant/associate head coach Chris Jent is out for personal reasons, with T.J. Saint stepping in, and the Knicks have been spun off into a separate publicly traded entity (MSG Knickerbockers Corp.) with shares near $300, while the Rangers form a distinct MSG Rangers Corp.
It may have taken until the very last millisecond of overtime, but it counts as a win all the same for the Boston Celtics. The Celtics were pushed to the brink by the winless Brooklyn Nets, but Jayson Tatum put his foot down and decided that Boston wasn’t about to suffer a crushing loss at […]

The New Jersey Devils crush the Dallas Stars 5‑1 at the American Airlines Center on Oct. 27, 2026, highlighted by the debut of Vezina‑trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck after a 4,850‑day hiatus. A revamped defensive system, aggressive neutral‑zone trapping and a brisk forecheck fuel the win, with Nico Hischier scoring twice and Timo Meier adding a goal. Secondary scorers Jack Hughes, Boqvist and Mantha chip in, showcasing balanced offense and strong puck retrievals. The Devils dominate all three zones, improving transition play that was a gripe last season, while the power play still seeks rhythm. Next up: a back‑to‑back road test in Colorado.

Karl‑Anthony Towns leads the way with a 27‑20 double‑double, while Jalen Brunson overcomes a cold shooting night by sinking 13 free throws.
