Philadelphia’s offense has tilted toward the pass through two weeks, and Hurts is the one making it work. He has thrown for 467 yards and 5 touchdowns across the Eagles’ two wins, completing 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards and 2 scores in last week’s 24-20 win over Tennessee.

Chicago’s defense has already recorded 5 sacks in two games, and Hurts has been taken down 6 times himself. Staying clean against that pressure will go a long way toward keeping Philadelphia’s 2-0 start intact.

Nobody in Chicago’s offense has done more with two games than Swift. He has carried 34 times for 169 yards and 3 touchdowns, powering a Bears rushing attack that leads the NFL at 212.5 yards per game.

Philadelphia’s run defense has been generous so far, allowing 254 yards on 61 carries, and that gives Swift a clear runway to keep piling up chunk gains on Monday night.

Early volume in Philadelphia’s passing game has gone through one receiver more than any other. Smith leads the Eagles with 13 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown, well ahead of every other target in the offense.

Injured running back Turbo Richard could return to the field for No. 6 Indiana this weekend when the Hoosiers visit Rutgers. If he does, the defending national champions will have their top two running backs available for their first road trip this season.

Coach Curt Cignetti made the announcement Monday during his weekly news conference.

“We got really good news on Turbo, and he’ll be day to day, and I’m optimistic he can play Saturday as well as Rolijah Hardy,” Cignetti said.

Richard was injured on a 2-yard run during the second quarter of Friday night’s closer-than-expected 29-23 victory over Northwestern.

He was driven out of bounds and was tackled by a Wildcats player whose body came down on Richard’s lower right leg near the Hoosiers’ bench. No penalty was called, but Richard did not return to the game.

“We’ll see,” was all Cignetti said about Richard during his postgame news conference.

Richard transferred to Indiana from Boston College earlier this year and was the Hoosiers’ top rusher until getting hurt. He has 50 carries, 383 yards and four touchdowns as well as two catches for 43 yards.

Lee Beebe Jr., Richard’s replacement, rushed 24 times for 203 yards and one score and set up Indiana’s game-sealing TD with a 70-yard run. Beebe now leads the team with 71 carries and 398 yards and has three rushing TDs after missing all but three games in last season’s Big Ten and national championship runs because of a right knee injury.

The prognosis on Richard was even more critical because the other running back in Cignetti’s three-runner rotation, Khobie Martin, remains out with a broken arm. Cignetti did not provide an update Monday on Martin’s status, but he is expected back in the next few weeks.

That meant Beebe was — and still may be — poised to carry a heavier workload.

“It’s not that much pressure,” Beebe said after the game. “I just know I need to step up and be there for the team. I was able to do that (Saturday). It wasn’t just me, it was the offensive line, receivers blocking downfield and it was great to mesh with (quarterback) Josh (Hoover), so it was an all-team effort.”

The Hoosiers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) also got good news on Hardy, a play-making linebacker who is tied for the team lead with 18 tackles, eight coming against Northwestern before he left the game in the second half with an undisclosed injury. Instead of going to the bench, Hardy walked straight to the locker room and did not return to the game.

“We expect him to be fine,” Cignetti said when asked about Hardy’s playing status.

Indiana has the Football Bowl Subdivision’s longest active winning streak, a school-record 20 consecutive games, and the FBS’ longest active home winning streak at 19. The Hoosiers also have won 12 consecutive conference games.

Houston Astros owner Jim Crane said Monday the team’s playoff berth will be “something to consider” when deciding on the future of manager Joe Espada, whose contract expires after the season.

Crane said there have been no discussions about the possibility of a new deal for Espada recently and they’ll sit down and talk about things when the season is over.

As for whether Houston winning the AL West to reach the postseason after missing out last year would have any bearing on the decision, Crane had this to say: “All positives are positives,” he told The Associated Press. “All negatives are negatives. So I think that would be something to consider when we make the decision.”

Espada’s future with the team remains in question after the Astros parted ways with general manager Dana Brown last month. Crane doesn’t believe the move had an impact on how the club finished the season.

“I don’t think it had a lot to do with what happened, you know, whether we won or we lost,” he said. “It was a courtesy actually to give him some time because we weren’t going to renew his contract. I made a decision that we weren’t going to renew his contract, so I wanted to give him time to regroup and we knew we had enough coverage from the other three guys.”

After Brown’s departure on Aug. 24, assistant general managers Charles Cook, Gavin Dickey and Connor Huff, along with senior adviser Jeff Bagwell, took over his responsibilities.

There have been questions about how things have worked after the unorthodox move to part ways with a general manager while a team was in playoff contention.

“I guess they’re working pretty good — we got into the playoffs,” Crane said with a laugh. “I think everything’s fine. We’ve got a number of assistant general managers filling in, and so our communication is good. Everything’s running smooth, ready for a win.”

The Astros became the first team in MLB history to make the postseason without a winning record by finishing 81-81 to outlast the Texas Rangers and move on to the Wild Card Series.

They’ll host the Chicago White Sox in a best-of-three matchup beginning Tuesday.

The Astros are in the playoffs for the ninth time in 10 years, a remarkable stretch in which they reached the ALCS seven straight times from 2017-23 and advanced to the World Series four times, winning championships in 2017 and 2022.

“We’ve always said we’re here to win and we’re here to make the playoffs and make a deep run in the playoffs, and we’ve done that consistently,” Crane said. “So getting in the playoffs is a big deal. If you don’t, you don’t have a chance.”

In their idea of a perfect world, the New York Giants would be building towards a better future right now under the leadership of quarterback Jaxson Dart, and Jameis Winston would be standing nearby offering smiles, wisdom and moral support.

But that plan blew up in Week 2 when Dart went down with a knee injury that will keep him out for the rest of the regular season, at least, and what he left behind is a bit of a mess. For now, Dart’s job belongs to Winston, but the Giants were so uncertain about him that they went out and traded for J.J. McCarthy.

And even John Harbaugh confirmed that McCarthy might be able to give Winston a push.

“Jameis did all the things as a quarterback that we needed to do to win that game [against the Titans on Sunday],” Harbaugh said on Monday afternoon. “But that doesn’t mean that’s where we stand. We’re going to keep growing. There’s going to be new challenges in front of us.”

Indeed, both now and maybe — just maybe — in the future too. This is not a team headed towards an inevitable quarterback controversy. In the end, they might only have one viable NFL quarterback in the room.

But there’s too much uncertainty — from Dart’s recovery, to Winston’s ability, to whether McCarthy can salvage his own career — to rule anything out.

So with that in mind, here’s how the Giants’ new-look quarterback situation shakes out:

The now: The Giants love the 32-year-old Winston so much that it was just three weeks ago that they gave him a two-year, $13 million contract extension. Sure, a lot of that was about how loved he was in the locker room and what he meant to Dart. But teams don’t hand backups that kind of money just for being a swell guy.

They believed Winston was one of the better backups in the NFL and that he could carry them if Dart went down. That was about a short-term injury, though. Their faith is shakier when it comes to Winston carrying them almost the entire length of the season, and they couldn’t have liked what they saw in his first two games since Dart went down.

That’s why the Giants went shopping for alternatives. They felt they needed Winston insurance. That said, their preference is for Winston to play like he did when he was a full-time starter in this league, albeit without all the interceptions. A team source said they believe they can win games with a run-first attack, and some big plays from the cannon-armed Winston, as long as they can manage him away from situations where he might throw games away.

So the job is his for now, and probably for a few more weeks. But his performance will dictate how long he holds it.

The future: Once McCarthy is up to speed on the playbook, probably in a couple of weeks, Winston will have to watch his back. His hold on the job could very much be week-to-week. Some of that is because of how one team source described the Giants’ interest in McCarthy: “He’s just a better fit for what we want to do. He’s athletic. He’s much more like Dart than Winston is. He may not be better, but he’s a better fit.”

–>

Longer term, Winston is what he is at this point: A career backup. The Giants like him in that role, so it seems likely he’ll be asked back in that role next year.

The now: There isn’t much for him to do right now other than rehab his injured knee. The recovery from surgery — believed to be to fix a torn meniscus — and whatever else was wrong with his knee is expected to last into the offseason. Yes, John Harbaugh left open a return for the playoffs and anything is possible. But one team source said that was overly optimistic, meant more as an aspirational statement to keep everyone’s spirits up.

What the Giants are focused on with Dart is making sure there are no setbacks so he can at least ease through the spring and be fully ready to go when training camp begins — a timeline one source indicates shouldn’t be a problem at all.

–>

The future: Make no mistake, this is Dart’s team. The Giants love him and his potential. Even Harbaugh, who wasn’t around when the Giants traded back into the first round to get him in 2025, fell in love with Dart quickly. He made it clear that Dart was a big selling point when he took the Giants job.

There are almost no scenarios where he doesn’t enter camp with his old starting job. But never say never because McCarthy is a 23-year-old former first-round pick too, and he’s also under contract for 2027. It would be unexpected, and a pleasant surprise, but what if McCarthy took over in a few weeks, played like the former first-rounder he is, and led the Giants to the playoffs?

Suddenly there would be some Phil Simms-Jeff Hostetler vibes in New York.

Again, it’s unlikely and probably improbable. But not impossible. The Giants, however, are absolutely going into this believing they will be Dart’s team in 2027, too.

The now: The Giants wanted to add a veteran quarterback as insurance in case Winston got hurt and stumbled, and the best they could do was acquire McCarthy from the Vikings for a fifth-round pick. It’s a pretty low price for a young, inexpensive quarterback with starting experience, who the Giants believe can fit their offensive scheme.

But there are certainly people around the league asking “Why?” The Vikings invested the 10th overall pick in McCarthy in 2024, and as recently as last season they were talking him up as the future of their franchise. Yet on a roster with a fixer-upper in Kyler Murray and 33-year-old Carson Wentz, he still couldn’t get on the field.

Yes, he’s had injury issues. But Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell has a well-earned reputation as a quarterback whisperer. If he was willing to give up on McCarthy so soon, for so little, it’s fair to wonder if he’s just irreparably damaged goods.

–>

The future: It’ll take a few weeks to get McCarthy up to speed, but the Giants didn’t get him just to be ready if Winston gets hurt. If they see anything out of him at all, any sign that he can run the offense they want to run better than Winston can, they will make a move and give him a shot.

A lot of that is up to Winston. If he plays well and the Giants start winning, there’ll be a change. But McCarthy will be pushing from behind, just with his presence. And don’t think for a second Harbaugh will hesitate to switch if he thinks the season is on the line.

As for the longer-term future, barring a really unlikely run deep into the playoffs, the best the Giants are hoping for is that McCarthy develops into a viable backup for them, or plays so well they can flip him in the offseason for a relatively high draft pick. They have absolutely no intention of giving him a shot at Dart’s job, ever.

Unless their hand is forced, of course.

Week 3 of the NFL season delivered a rain-soaked upset in Washington and another dominant afternoon in Detroit, and Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski found their Employees of the Week in the middle of both.

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota and Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs each delivered three-touchdown performances in Week 3, and Edelman and Gronkowski named them their “Employees of the Week” on the latest edition of “Gronk & Jules.”

Edelman picked the Washington Commanders quarterback, while Gronkowski went with the Detroit Lions running back, making Gibbs the first player to be named Employee of the Week twice since the segment debuted in Week 1.

Rob Gronkowski’s Employee Of The Week

Gronkowski went with Gibbs, who totaled 164 yards from scrimmage and scored three touchdowns in a 31-24 win over the New York Jets. 

“I’m going with Jahmyr Gibbs from Detroit,” Gronkowski said. ” The way he flashes across the field. 164 yards total, three touchdowns. This guy is just a specimen. He can take anything to the house at any time.”

Gibbs carried 20 times for 99 yards and two rushing touchdowns and caught seven passes for 65 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown catch that put Detroit ahead for good in the fourth quarter. The performance pushed his season total to six touchdowns through three games and moved him past Billy Sims into second place on the Lions’ all-time rushing touchdown list with 43, behind Barry Sanders’ 99.

View this post on Instagram

It is the second time in three weeks Gronkowski has picked Gibbs for the honor. He also chose the Lions running back in Week 1, when Gibbs scored twice against the New Orleans Saints and became the sixth player in NFL history to reach 50 career touchdowns within his first 50 games. 

Gronkowski said before the season that he expected Gibbs to be a leading Offensive Player of the Year candidate.

“I actually had him winning Offensive Player of the Year in my preseason picks,” Gronkowski said. “It’s already three weeks. There’s so much been happening, but he’s my favorite running back in the NFL.”

Julian Edelman’s Employee Of The Week

Edelman chose Mariota after the quarterback completed 19 of 31 passes for 183 yards and three touchdowns, with no turnovers, in a 33-31 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. 

“That’s a big-time win, beating the defending Super Bowl champs in a s—tyweather game,” Edelman said. “You had three touchdowns, no turnovers. I love that. I’m giving the game ball to Marcus Mariota.”

Mariota made his first start of the season in place of the injured Jayden Daniels, throwing touchdown passes to Rachaad White, Treylon Burks and Terry McLaurin in rainy conditions at Northwest Stadium. It was his first three-touchdown game since 2022.

Mariota and the Commanders play the Indianapolis Colts in London in Week 4. Gibbs and the Lions travel to face the Carolina Panthers.

Aaron Judge hopes to talk his way onto the New York Yankees roster for the AL Wild Card Series and into the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox.

Sidelined since Sept. 16 by a strained right calf, the Yankees captain took live batting practice on the field Monday, a day ahead of the series opener. He walked twice, hit a comebacker to the mound and took a called third strike against teammates Ryan Weathers and Elmer Rodriguez.

“I’ve been doing a lot of convincing, I feel like, so I’m going to keep doing that,” Judge said. “The most important thing is just making sure I’m healthy and ready to go for this long stretch. We’ve got another month of baseball to play.”

A three-time AL MVP, the 34-year-old slugger had a platelet-poor plasma injection Sept. 21. He was sidelined by a fractured rib from May 31 to Sept. 8 and played in just seven games before the latest injury.

“He’s making progress. We’ll continue to see where he’s at,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.

Speaking in front of his locker, a diamond-and-garnet pendant of a judge’s gavel hanging from his neck, the outfielder said he hasn’t run the bases since the injury but had been working on an AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill.

“I’ve been hitting for a while, so it feels great, which is definitely a big step forward because you kind of produce a lot of weight on that back leg,” he said.

Judge was limited to 66 games this season. He hit .241 with 18 homers, 41 RBIs and an .871 OPS, including .174 with one homer and three RBIs in September.

He hopes not to be limited to designated hitter — teammate Ben Rice was the DH in 96 games.

“I’m trying to come back as an outfielder because I think it helps our team the most, but however they see I fit in the best, I am going to try to do that,” Judge said.

Judge didn’t express concern about trying for a quick return from an injury to his soleus muscle, which is part of the Achilles tendon.

“Guys take risks every single day. I know a lot of guys in here are banged up and dealing with stuff,” he said. “So, yeah, I understand the risks.”

In his 11th big league season and still without a World Series title, Judge is sensing the passage of time as motivation for pushing to get back on the field.

“The biggest thing is just understanding how short I get. The time I get to be a Yankee and play this game of baseball is a very short window,” he said. “Ten years have gone by since I debuted out here. Time flies and I just think about that more than thinking about age. I feel like I’ll still be a good baseball player at 45. So, yeah, it’s more just, your window to play this game is short so you don’t want to miss an opportunity.”

Stanton, Grisham and Weathers

Giancarlo Stanton, out since April 24 because of strained calf muscles in both legs, also is a roster possibility along with center fielder Trent Grisham, sidelined since straining his right hamstring on Sept. 4, and Weathers, who hasn’t pitched since Aug. 22 because of a left forearm flexor strain. Weathers appeared unlikely since he threw BP to Judge, Stanton and Grisham.

“There’s a few roster decisions still that we keep kind of bouncing back and forth, thinking about lineup construction,” Boone said. “So those are still things that I’m wrestling with to some degree. Ultimately, we’ve got to settle on it tomorrow and go let it rip.”

Philadelphia’s offense has tilted toward the pass through two weeks, and Hurts is the one making it work. He has thrown for 467 yards and 5 touchdowns across the Eagles’ two wins, completing 26 of 37 passes for 264 yards and 2 scores in last week’s 24-20 win over Tennessee.

Chicago’s defense has already recorded 5 sacks in two games, and Hurts has been taken down 6 times himself. Staying clean against that pressure will go a long way toward keeping Philadelphia’s 2-0 start intact.

Nobody in Chicago’s offense has done more with two games than Swift. He has carried 34 times for 169 yards and 3 touchdowns, powering a Bears rushing attack that leads the NFL at 212.5 yards per game.

Philadelphia’s run defense has been generous so far, allowing 254 yards on 61 carries, and that gives Swift a clear runway to keep piling up chunk gains on Monday night.

Early volume in Philadelphia’s passing game has gone through one receiver more than any other. Smith leads the Eagles with 13 catches for 170 yards and a touchdown, well ahead of every other target in the offense.

I played offensive line for eight seasons in the NFL, and before that I spent my Saturdays in Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, blocking for guys who ended up on lists like this one. So when I watch college football now, I watch for the stuff that signaled to me in the huddle whether a guy was for real.

I’m picking the 10 players who impressed me most during the previous weekend. Not just the gaudiest stat lines, but the performances that hold up when you turn the tape on. Some weeks, that’ll be an edge rusher wreaking havoc. Other weeks, it’ll be a lineman you’ve never heard of who didn’t lose a rep all afternoon. I have a soft spot for those guys. 

This week featured some household names along with some under-the-radar gems. Let’s take a look.

Jadan Baugh’s first month of the season has been fantastic and Saturday was no exception. He helped his Gators beat a top five Ole Miss squad with 142 yards on 29 carries and scored three touchdowns. That many rushing attempts is an impressive workload against a SEC defense. Baugh’s Heisman odds continue to improve. 

Raiola entered the game for the Ducks after Dante Moore was knocked out with a concussion. Raiola was 19 of 25 for 289 yards and two touchdowns. The Nebraska transfer looked calm and collected in the pocket, and it was a huge boost for the Ducks who needed a boost after Moore left the game.

Finney is a remarkable talent for the Ducks. He was a freshman All-American at corner last season and he’s been moved inside to play nickel this season. He was only targeted three times against USC and only a single pass was completed against him. He also added four tackles. Finney is just an outstanding defensive piece for Oregon

Jeremiah is the best player in the sport and he showed it again on Saturday vs. Illinois. He had a remarkable 12 receptions for 217 yards with four touchdowns, tying the Ohio State singe-game record for touchdown catches. Nothing more to add. Amazing talent. 

After a shaky Week 1 against Tulsa, we’ve seen Mestemaker turn into the quarterback people hoped he’d be. He beat Oregon and went on the road to dominate West Virginia. Mestemaker was 20 of 27 for 389 yards with three touchdowns. 

Austin Romaine led the Red Raiders in tackles (eight) and touchdowns (two). He had back-to-back pick sixes for the Red Raiders as they took care of business against Sam Houston State. One touchdown for a defender is something to celebrate. But two of them? Outstanding.

Georgia’s defense embarrassed Oklahoma’s offense this weekend and Wilson was a big reason. He had 11 tackles with eight solo, plus 1 sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Wilson is an absolute beast.

Whoa… what a performance by Simmons against Tennessee.. He had five sacks, 10 pressures and eight defensive stops. Just a remarkable performance from a guy who will play on Sundays. 

Indiana lost Turbo Richard in the second quarter, so Bebbe Jr. took over as the number one back. The Hooisers ran game was sort of stuck in the mud until he broke off some long runs. He ended with 203 yards on 24 carries and one touchdown. 

Splat! Heard was an absolute monster against South Alabama, grading out as the highest offensive tackle in Week 4, according to Pro Football Focus (87.5). Check out the play below.
