Rodgers’ struggles continue to mount in Steelers’ loss to Chargers

SUMMARY: Aaron Rodgers’ tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers began on a high note with four wins in five games to start the season.

Rodgers went 16 of 31 for 161 yards with a touchdown, two interceptions and a fumble in Pittsburgh’s 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday night. He was sacked three times, took a safety and finished with a 50.6 passer rating, his lowest mark of the season.

SUMMARY: Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue has died at the age of 84. Tagliabue helped bring labor peace and riches to the league during his 17 years as commissioner but was criticized for not taking stronger action on concussions.

Tagliabue, who had developed Parkinson’s disease, was commissioner from 1989, when he succeeded Pete Rozelle, to 2006.

The Buccaneers were the first team in NFL history to have each of their first four wins of the season come on a game-winning score in the final minute of regulation.

FBN--TAGLIABUE’S LEGACY

Paul Tagliabue’s NFL legacy: More money, more diversity and a concussion conundrum

SUMMARY: Paul Tagliabue led the NFL to greater success and diversity during his 17 years as commissioner. He died Sunday at age 84. Tagliabue, who served from 1989 to 2006, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020. Under his leadership, league revenues soared, new stadiums were built, and the NFL expanded to 32 teams. He introduced the “Rooney Rule” to promote diversity in coaching and executive positions. However, his tenure was also marked by the league’s slow response to concussions. In 2017, Tagliabue apologized for past remarks about concussions, acknowledging that he lacked proper data.

Big Ten says USC should have been penalized on fake punt play under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule

SUMMARY: The Big Ten has announced that Southern California should have received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during its game against Northwestern. This was due to a reserve quarterback wearing the same number as the Trojans’ regular punter while executing a fake punt. Early in the second quarter, Sam Huard completed a pass that led to a touchdown five plays later. The Big Ten stated that USC should have been penalized under the NCAA’s Unfair Tactics rule. The conference plans to continue reviewing the situation with both schools. Northwestern’s coach did not complain about the play after the game.

FBN--COLTS-GARDNER

Sauce Gardner laments misses in Colts debut, but loves ‘electric’ locker room after win

SUMMARY: Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner was thinking about a pick-6. It would have been quite a debut with his new team. He jumped a route but Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.’s pass intended for Drake London went through Gardner’s hands, hit his midsection and bounced incomplete. He says “I was trying to score, so I was already looking at the end zone.” Still, the Colts left Berlin with a 31-25 overtime victory over Indianapolis that will soothe Gardner’s disappointment. It’s the type of play the Colts were hoping for when they traded two first-round draft picks and receiver Adonai Mitchell to the New York Jets on Tuesday to get one of the league’s premier cover cornerbacks.

Man City crushes Liverpool 3-0 in Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th game

SUMMARY: In his 1000th game as a manager, Pep Guardiola celebrated victory as if it was his first. Manchester City’s 3-0 win against Liverpool was number 716 for Guardiola and likely one of his most satisfying of his trophy-laden career. Not only did City totally dominate the defending Premier League champion and one of Guardiola’s fiercest rivals in a career spanning Spain, Germany and England - but victory firmly established his team as the one most likely to run Arsenal closest for the title this season. City moved up to second in the standings - just four points behind the leader, with a well-established record when it comes to chasing down Arsenal.
