CJ Gardner-Johnson Ejected For Spitting Incident Vs Raiders
Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is ejected before halftime in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders after a replay shows him appear to spit on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers during a verbal clash. The incident forces Damar Hamlin into the secondary, leaving the Bills—now 4‑1—short a veteran defender. Gardner-Johnson’s ejection adds to a string of recent fines ($11,194 each) and prior suspensions, including a 2024 ejection with the Eagles. The NFL has not announced further discipline, but additional penalties are expected.
76ers Sign Tacko Fall to Two-Way Contract
The Philadelphia 76ers fill their final two‑way slot by signing 7‑ft‑6 center Tacko Fall, returning to the NBA after a stint with China’s Ningbo Rockets. The deal, revealed by Shams Charania, addresses a front‑court shortage caused by Ariel Hukporti’s season‑ending Achilles injury. Fall can appear in up to 50 games with the Sixers and will also play for the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats. He averaged 11.2 points, six rebounds and 2.1 blocks overseas, but a lingering left hip strain may keep him out of the season opener against the Knicks on Tuesday.

Falcons’ Kendal Daniels Hospitalized After Neck Injury In Week 6
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels is hospitalized after a neck injury in the third quarter of the Oct. 18 game against the Chicago Bears. The injury occurred when Daniels' facemask hit Bears tight end Colston Loveland’s knee on a tackle. Medics immobilized his neck, cut his jersey and rushed him to Memorial Hospital; the team says he is alert and moving all extremities, but no diagnosis or return timeline has been given. Daniels, the Falcons’ green‑dot defensive signal‑caller, had 22 tackles, two for loss, a sack and a pass defended this season. With fellow green‑dot Divine Deablo already out, Atlanta must reshuffle defensive play‑calling before its next matchup with the New Orleans Saints.

Dylan Raiola sparks a dramatic fourth‑quarter comeback for Oregon, throwing a go‑ahead touchdown with 28 seconds left to beat his former team Nebraska 17‑14 on Oct. 18, 2026.

He leads a 17‑play, 65‑yard drive that ends with a field goal and then a 4‑yard TD to Jamari Johnson. The win comes as Oregon’s QB depth remains uncertain with Dante Moore sidelined by concussion, leaving the next starter undecided.

The Tennessee Titans rallied from a 13-0 halftime deficit to beat the Indianapolis Colts 26-20 at Lucas Oil Stadium on October 18, 2026. A blocked punt returned for a touchdown by Oluwafemi Oladejo and four clutch field goals from Joey Slye—including a 44‑yard kick with 43 seconds left—sealed the comeback.

Jaguars Eye Full 2028 Home Slate in Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Jaguars aim to host every 2028 home game in Jacksonville once EverBank Stadium reopens after a $1.4 billion renovation. Team president Mark Lamping says the plan would end a decade of annual London trips, though the league’s scheduling rules could still intervene. The stadium, under construction during the 2026 season, will force a reduced home slate in 2027, with some games moved to Orlando’s Camping World Stadium and up to three potential international slots—likely none, as the Jaguars expect only the NFL‑mandated overseas game, which Lamping hopes will be in London. The franchise’s 16th London appearance comes this Sunday versus the Houston Texans.
