Ravens responded again under pressure to improve to 4-1 despite injuries
SUMMARY: Baltimore's 30-23 victory at Atlanta wasn’t a masterpiece, but quarterback Tyler Huntley guided two terrific drives at the end. One tied the game and the other put the Ravens ahead as they rallied for a victory with Lamar Jackson sidelined. When he was hired as Baltimore’s coach, Jesse Minter said the Ravens would be at their best when their best is needed. There are signs that vision is becoming a reality. Baltimore has won three in a row. That includes a last-second victory over Dallas in Brazil and Sunday’s thriller against the Falcons.

There's plenty of blame to go around for the Commanders' overtime-ending debacle vs. the Giants
SUMMARY: No one involved is blameless for the Washington Commanders’ game-ending debacle against the New York Giants in overtime. Coach Dan Quinn on Monday expressed frustration with multiple facets of the final play of the 27-27 tie, when Washington allowed the clock to run out while it was in range for a game-winning field goal. Quinn says he's “furious” about his team's execution in those critical moments. He says it took the Commanders entirely too long to execute their strategy and that better communication needs to start with him. Quinn added that the Commanders' multiple substitutions before the final play were unnecessary in hindsight.

Bengals embrace an early bye after a win in Miami
SUMMARY: Zac Taylor, coach of the Cincinnati Bengals, initially disliked the early bye week in their schedule. However, after a tough three-game stretch, including a 31-24 win against Miami on Sunday, he now appreciates the timing. The game was played in 90-degree heat, which Taylor says was draining. The bye week will help players such as Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Bryan Cook recover from injuries. The Bengals are 3-2 and trail the Ravens in the AFC North. They face Baltimore on Oct. 25. Taylor believes the team can improve on a few issues before this division matchup.

David Bailey was a Jets 'flame thrower' in breakout performance that's an exciting sign for defense
SUMMARY: The Jets have found a star in rookie edge rusher David Bailey, who delivered a standout performance against Cleveland. Bailey had three sacks, seven tackles and nine pressures to help the Jets to a 17-12 victory. Coach Aaron Glenn praised Bailey's relentless play, which has energized the Jets' defense, and called him a flame thrower. Bailey's impact is exactly what the team hoped for when they drafted him at No. 2 overall. Wide receiver Tim Patrick is excited about the offense's upside when healthy. He puts it ahead of the 2024 Lions, who led the NFL in scoring while he was a member of the team.

Flyers struggle again, Tocchet has no answers in franchise-record 7th straight loss to open season
SUMMARY: The Philadelphia Flyers are struggling this season, remaining winless after a 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Sunday night. Fans are frustrated, with some chanting for coach Rick Tocchet's dismissal. The Flyers are 0-5-2 and the only winless team in the Eastern Conference. They've been outscored 28-8 this season, marking the worst start in franchise history. Injuries to key players like Travis Konecny and Cam York haven't helped. Forward Trevor Zegras, who signed a big extension, has underperformed. Tocchet remains optimistic, but changes are needed quickly to turn the season around.

Ball security is an issue for the Giants after fumbling away their chances at Washington
SUMMARY: The New York Giants snatched a stalemate from the jaws of defeat by coming back from down 14 points in the fourth quarter and getting a tie when the Washington Commanders botched clock management late in overtime. But they also had a chance to win just before that when Cam Skattebo fumbled the ball away in field-goal range. It’s the Giants’ fourth lost fumble in five games this season. They are 3-1-1 with the 1-4 New Orleans Saints coming to town next.

Carmelo Anthony thinks Knicks right to halt contract talks with their players to focus on basketball
SUMMARY: Carmelo Anthony believes the New York Knicks made the right decision in halting contract negotiations with some of their players to focus solely on basketball. With Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart eligible for extensions but talks going nowhere, the Knicks said last week they were pausing discussions until later in the season and would devote their attention entirely to defending their NBA championship. Anthony, an All-Star for the Knicks during his Hall of Fame career, said Monday he wasn’t alarmed by what he's been hearing and thinks the team will get to business later on.

Tim Stützle and the Senators beat the Devils 4-1 to keep their hot start going
SUMMARY: Tim Stützle had a goal and an assist, Shane Pinto and Stephen Halliday scored and the Ottawa Senators beat the New Jersey Devils 4-1 on to keep their hot start going. Linus Ullmark stopped 29 of the 30 shots he faced, allowing just a goal to Arseny Gritsyuk with five minutes left. After a tumultuous summer that included trading captain Brady Tkachuk to Florida, the Senators have won five of their first six games, despite missing a handful of key players to injuries. Their depth took another hit when defenseman Nikolas Matinpalo was injured in the first period.

Nick Sirianni takes the blame. The Eagles take the loss. How much more can fans in Philly take?
SUMMARY: Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni faces criticism for a costly decision in a 19-17 loss to Jacksonville. Instead of aiming for a touchback, Sirianni opted to kick to the return man, leading to a 53-yard return and a last-second field goal by Jacksonville. This marks the Eagles' third straight loss. Sirianni admitted his mistake, saying he didn't make the right decision. The Eagles haven't scored a second-half touchdown since Week 2. The pressure is now on quarterback Jalen Hurts to lead the team. The Eagles aim to recover with upcoming home games against Carolina and Dallas.

Mike McCarthy’s sideline call for Patrick Graham shows the 'pliable' nature of the Steelers staff
SUMMARY: Mike McCarthy is proving to be flexible and proactive as the Pittsburgh Steelers coach. After a frustrating Week 4 loss, he decided to move defensive coordinator Patrick Graham from the coach's booth to the sideline. The change prompted better communication between Graham and his players, directly contributing to a 34-22 victory over Indianapolis that boosted Pittsburgh's record to 3-2. McCarthy's decision highlights his willingness to adapt and make changes when needed, a departure from a sometimes more rigid approach by former Steelers coach Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh will look for consecutive victories for the first time this season when it visits Tampa Bay in Week 6.

Shiyazh Pete, first Navajo NFL player, recognized on Indigenous Peoples Day
SUMMARY: The first member the Navajo Nation to play in the NFL got a hero’s welcome in New Mexico on Indigenous Peoples Day. Shiyazh Pete signed footballs and jerseys and posed with fans for photos in Albuquerque on Monday. Pete is now a free agent after being waived by the Dallas Cowboys, but his preseason debut gave Native Americans a moment to remember when thousands from across the Navajo Nation cheered him on in a game against the Arizona Cardinals in August. Pete joins a long list of Indigenous athletes who have broken barriers, inspired pride and become role models for children.
