BOULDER, Colo. – For the second year in a row under head coach Deion Sanders, the Colorado football team is off to a 3-1 start after getting another clutch performance from Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, this time in a wet and wild 38-31 overtime win at home against Baylor.

The win came after the Buffaloes forced overtime on an incredible 43-yard touchdown pass as time expired , helping tie the game 31-31. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders rolled left on the play and lofted the ball toward the left corner of the end zone, where receiver LaJohntay Wester turned to catch the ball in the rain with his two hands and elbows extended in a cradle.

It fell right into his basket, bringing the Buffs back from the brink even after Colorado receiver Will Sheppard dropped a possible touchdown pass near the end zone one play earlier

Shedeur Sanders, Deion’s youngest son, then drove the Buffs 25 yards in seven plays on the first overtime drive, capped by a 1-yard scoring run by freshman running back Micah Welch.

Baylor had its chance to respond but running back Dominic Richardson fumbled on a leaping dive at the goal line on the final play. Travis Hunter, Colorado’s electric two-way star, forced the fumble by making a stand in front of Richardson.

Colorado fans went crazy after that, rushing the field to celebrate the sold-out homecoming game at Folsom Field. Shedeur Sanders was 25-for-41 passing for 341 yards and two touchdowns. Hunter had seven catches for 130 yards.

First half marked by big plays

The crowd of 52,794 went quiet after the Buffs fell behind 24-10 with 4:19 left in the second quarter. Baylor built that lead on two big plays in the second quarter. First came a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Jamaal Bell down the right sideline. Then came a 45-yard rushing touchdown by Baylor quarterback Sawyer Robertson.

The latter came on a fourth-and-1 play, with Robertson keeping the ball and running it up the field for a score.

But the Buffs struck back after that with a big play of their own to cut Baylor’s lead to 24-17 with 50 seconds left in the half. Sanders escaped a sack on the play and threw it to the right side of the field, where receiver Omarion Miller caught it and nearly was tackled at the Baylor 35-yard line.

But Miller kept going and raced in for the 58-yard touchdown. Replays showed he might have been down at the 35 (his left shin came close to hitting the ground). Game officials still called it a touchdown, giving the Buffs something to build on in the halftime locker room.

Travis Hunter helps Colorado catch up

Colorado tied it 24-24 with a minute left in the third quarter after an 80-yard touchdown drive that was highlighted by two big plays by Hunter – a 46-yard catch and a 31-yard catch on third-and-15. The latter play brought the Buffs to the Baylor 8-yard line, setting them up to score two plays later on a 2-yard run up the middle by Welch.

Hunter had five catches for 122 yards by the end of the third quarter, his fifth straight game of at least 100 yards receiving dating to last year. He set a school record last week with his fourth straight game of at least 100 yards receiving.

But Baylor answered to go ahead 31-24

The Bears retook the lead with 5:43 left in the fourth quarter on a pretty pass from Robertson to receiver Hal Presley. Under coverage by cornerback DJ McKinney, Presley reeled in the ball with his left hand in the left corner of the end zone. The 24-yard touchdown pass helped put Baylor up 31-24 after a drive that went 61 yards in eight plays.

The Baylor defense then sacked Sanders twice on the next possession to force the Buffs to punt out of their own end zone.

They say revenge serves best as a cold dish, but Josh Heupel’s moment finally arrived on a sizzling day. With the heat sufficiently cranked, Heupel’s Vols cooked Oklahoma.
Nico Iamaleava makes enough big plays, and Tennessee’s defense takes care of the rest.
Oklahoma tries two quarterbacks but doesn’t get offense going until fourth quarter.

NORMAN, Okla. – Josh Heupel waited nearly a decade for this day.

They say revenge serves best as a cold dish, but Heupel’s moment finally arrived on a day when the mercury nearly struck 100 at Heupel’s alma mater.

With the heat sufficiently cranked, Heupel’s No. 7 Tennessee Vols cooked No. 13 Oklahoma, 25-15, at the Palace on the Prairie.

Heupel once thrilled the fans here as the star quarterback on Oklahoma’s last national championship team. He quieted those fans Saturday while making his return triumphant and souring the Sooners’ SEC debut.

‘Walking off that field with a win felt pretty good,’ Heupel said afterward, while flashing the hint of a smile.

Heupel’s the one who got away from Oklahoma – the one Bob Stoops sent away – and he became the one who saved Tennessee from the doldrums.

Heupel rebuilt his career after Stoops fired him from his staff after the 2014 season. He traveled three time zones to do it.

He became a better coach. He even built a defense.

The Sooner Schooner that cruised the field during Heupel’s playing career might as well have rested on flat tires, because it sat motionless for most of the night while the Sooners stumbled, bungled and fumbled on offense.

The Schooner finally shifted into drive after Oklahoma’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns – the only touchdowns Tennessee’s defense has allowed this season.

Josh Heupel, Tennessee show they can win with defense

Tennessee (4-0) assembled a fierce defensive front and unleashed it on the overmatched Sooners.

Oklahoma (3-1) entered the SEC with a defense that looks the part and an offensive line and starting quarterback who are out of their element.

Sooners fans cheered when highlights of Southern California’s loss appeared on the videoboard, but when Lincoln Riley left town, he took OU’s offensive swagger with him.

These Sooners would benefit from a quarterback that either Riley or Heupel developed.

Heupel has molded another talented quarterback. That’s what Heupel does best, from Oklahoma (Sam Bradford) to Missouri (Drew Lock) to Tennessee, with Hendon Hooker and now redshirt freshman Nico Iamaleava.

Iamaleava fires darts, and he puts the ball where his receivers want it. The Sooners’ pass rush gave Iamaleava some trouble in his first career road start, and the Vols encountered trouble protecting him while playing without their top two offensive tackles. Iamaleava, though, connected on enough deep strikes to give the Vols ample scoring opportunities.

Iamaleava received plenty of assistance, too. Dylan Sampson took handoffs on eight consecutive plays on a 46-yard scoring drive, allowing Iamaleava to admire his tailback’s handiwork.

The Vols’ defense bailed their quarterback out of jams, too.

Twice, Oklahoma recovered fumbles after sacking Iamaleava.

And twice, Sooners quarterback Jackson Arnold gave the ball back to Tennessee on the next play.

So bad, Oklahoma’s offense looked, that fans cheered when backup quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. entered before halftime. Hawkins fumbled his first snap.

That’s the type of night it became for Oklahoma.

Oklahoma shows Josh Heupel respect before game begins

Ten Tennessee players contributed to its 11 tackles for loss. The Vols comfortably won a game in which they punted eight times.

This was no beauty contest. Tennessee’s defense didn’t need it to be.

Heupel infrequently uses his news conferences to send a message, but he emphatically declared after a Week 2 victory that Tennessee holds itself to an elite standard of defense.

“This is the home of Reggie White, Al Wilson, Eric Berry,” Heupel said then.

Now, it’s home to current defenders Keenan Pili, Arion Carter and James Pearce, and they were enough to give Oklahoma fits.

Heupel won the hearts of Vols fans with his 2022 squad that became a blur of offense and a flurry of points.

This team plays more complementary football – not unlike the 2000 Sooners. That season, Heupel’s left arm powered Oklahoma throughout its famous midseason ‘Red October’ tear of Texas, Kansas State and Nebraska before the Sooners’ defense carried the load across the finish line in the national championship against Florida State, while Heupel played through injury.

Heupel went from beloved quarterback to Stoops’ longtime lieutenant, until Stoops fired his co-offensive coordinators, Heupel and Jay Norvell, after a disappointing 2014 season.

That decision derailed Heupel’s chance to become Stoops’ heir.

Stoops’ staff moves worked. Oklahoma’s offense reignited behind Riley, who later replaced Stoops.

Heupel, though, felt a deep cut after getting fired by his alma mater and his former coach. The chip on his shoulder grew. He remains an iconic figure at Oklahoma, and he was treated as such before kickoff.

Oklahoma showed Heupel on the videoboard before kickoff with a message welcoming him back. A pregame video montage included scenes of Heupel celebrating Oklahoma’s national championship 24 years ago after he took the final snap from the victory formation.

Oklahoma treated Heupel with the respect of a legend, and then he showed the Sooners he’s doing just fine without them.

The Nationals announced the move Saturday morning before their game against the Chicago Cubs. He technically was optioned to Triple-A Rochester, but with that team’s season ending Sunday, Abrams will spend the rest of the season at the Nationals’ minor league complex at West Palm Beach, Florida.

The all-nighter will cost Abrams about $30,000 in pay. But it won’t affect his status as a first-time arbitration-eligible Super 2 player because he already accumulated 172 days on the major-league roster.

Abrams, the Nationals’ lone All-Star representative and one of the centerpieces of the Juan Soto trade two years ago, has struggled in the second half, hitting just .203 with a .326 slugging percentage.

All things Nationals: Latest Washington Nationals news, schedule, roster, stats, injury updates and more.

Yet, Nationals manager Davey Martinez said the demotion had nothing to do with his play, informing him of the team’s decision Friday after he had gone 4-for-5 with two doubles and two stolen bases on Thursday night.

Abrams went hitless on Friday and was summoned after the game into Martinez’s office, where he was questioned about a social media post on X that he was at the Bally’s Casino in Chicago until 8 a.m..

“I just want it to be known it wasn’t performance-based,’’ Martinez told reporters before Saturday’s game. “It’s an internal issue. I’m not going to get into specifics or talk specifics, because I need to keep everything on the down-low. I’ve got other guys out there I want to support.

“I’m going to support C.J. He’s a big part of our Nats family, and he will be. But without getting into any details, this was the right thing to do.’

Tyson Fury on Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois

The judges scored it 114-114, 115-113, 115-114.

Kelly, a 30-year-old Brit, improved to 16-1-1. Davis, a 29-year-old Brit, fell to 13-1.

Josh Kelly vs Ishmael Davis, middleweight

Round 1: Hard to miss the Olympic rings tattoo on Josh Kelly’s left torso. Kelly competed in the 2016 Rio Games. Ishmael Davis doesn’t look terribly impressed. But Kelly tattoos Davis with a flurry of punches. He lands more and adds a little showmanship at the end of the round. Kelly 10, Davis 9.

Round 2: Kelly firing fast and lands a combination. But Kelly connects with a left, too. Impressive hand speed from Kelly. But Davis is hitting the target – the man with the Olympic rings tattoo – with greater precision. Kelly 19, Davis 19. 

Round 3: Davis stalks. Kelly seems to happily backpedal and fire on the move. He’s nimble – and now connecting. More stick-and-move from Kelly. Kelly 29, Davis 28.

Round 6: Action slows as Davis chases Kelly. Kelly finally shows more appetite to stand face-to-face with Davis, lands a solid body shot. Davis finds the target repeatedly. Kelly 57, Davis 57.

Round 7: Kelly bouncing on his feet, at risk of developing a bed of calluses as he moves around the ring. He delivers a solid left too. Big combo by Kelly as the round ends. Kelly 67, Davis 66. 

Round 8: Davis digs in with a few hooks. But Kelly responds with flash, then absorbs a left from Davis and lands his own combo. Kelly 77, Davis 75.

Round 9: Kelly opens with an uppercut, and Davis fires back. Kelly moves. Davis stalks. Kelly moves. Davis stalks. But Kelly might be tiring, but still throwing crisp punches. Kelly 87, Davis 84.

Round 10: Kelly firing in bursts, popping Davis and moving. Davis chasing more than punching. Kelly 97, Davis 93. 

Round 11: So much for slowing down. Kelly bouncing around like it’s the first round and looks elusive. Does a little showboating too. Less punching, but enough even as he gets hit with a right. Kelly 107, Davis 102. 

Round 12: Davis pounces, lands a big left. Kelly’s bleeding more and takes two big uppercuts. He’s moving – maybe not fast enough as blood pours. Davis decimating Kelly, understand he’ll needs a KO. Kelly moving, dodging and bleeding. Kelly 116, Davis 112. 

Josh Padley def. Mark Chamberlain by unanimous decision

Hadley, a full-time construction worker, bloodied Chamberlain, knocked him down in the eighth round and pulled off a big upset in the 10-round super lightweight bout.

Eyeing a possible title fight, Chamberlain looked out of sorts against the smaller, rugged Hadley.

In addition to Chamberlain being knocked down, the referee deducted a point from him after being warned for head butts and elbows.

He could not overcome the lost points, as the judges scored the fight 95-93, 96-92, 96-92.

Padley, a 28-year-old Brit, improved to 15-0. Chamberlain, a 25-year-old Brit, fell to 16-1.

Mark Chamberlain vs Josh Padley, super lightweight

Round 1: As Mark Chamberlain and Josh Padley emerge from their corners, Wembley Stadium, expected to be filled with 96,000 fans later, looks almost deserted. Chamberlain fires a few lefts. Inflicts no damage, but he’s proving to be the more active fighter. Padley comes alive and throws a burst of punches. Several land. Padley 10, Chamberlain 9.

Round 2: Chamberlain comes out aggressively and lands a couple of lefts. Again, Padley responds with a burst of body shots. But Chamberlain starts to capitalize on his reach advantage. Padley 19, Chamberlain 19.

Round 3: Chamberlain stalking again. Padley responds with a flurry and draws blood from Chamberlain. It’s streaking down his forehead after a possible headbutt. Padley also opened up a cut near Chamberlain’s eye. But Chamberlain controlling most of the action. Chamberlain 29, Padley 28.

Round 4: Chamberlain takes advantage of the long left, but Padley closes the gap and fights effectively inside. Chamberlain bleeding again over his right eye, likely the result of another headbutt. But the blood doesn’t slow Chamberlain much. Chamberlain 39, Padley 37.

Round 5: Padley charges forward, throws a flurry, then backs away. Finds another opening, darts in and connects to Chamberlain’s head. Fierce left by Padley. Chamberlain 48, Padley 47.

Round 6: Chamberlain opens the round with solid left that connects. Now firing with both hands and looking more comfortable than he did in the early rounds. Padley responds late – but too late to win the round. Chamberlain 58, Padley 56. 

Round 7: Chamberlain lands another a solid left – his best weapon. The clinching has escalates. But Chamberlain finds some distance and connects with the left. Back comes Padley, and it gets rugged again. Chamberlain 68, Padley 65. 

Round 8: Chamberlain appears to lift Padley off his feet and pushes him to the ropes. But down goes Chamberlain! Hit with a left! He’s up and the fight resumes with Padley in control. Chamberlain 76, Padley 75.

Round 9: Chamberlain failing to maintain distance that allows him to capitalize on his size advantage. A point deducted from Chamberlain. Unclear why, but he’s been warned multiple times about multiple things. Padley gets active, looks ready to seize the moment. Padley 85, Chamberlain 85.

Round 10: Chamberlain active with both hands, but he’s bleeding again over the right eye. Padley swollen under the left eye, the result of Chamberlain lefts. Blood pooling in Chamberlain’s right eye. More clinching and Chamberlain is warned again. Padley 94, Chamberlain 94.

Week 3 will feature a couple of divisional games starting with the New England Patriots taking on the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. There’s also two games on Monday night: Jaguars-Bills and Commanders-Bengals. Here’s the full slate of Sunday games for Week 3.

The Indiana Fever make a return to the WNBA playoffs after an eight-year absence to take on third-seeded Connecticut Sun in the first round of the best-of-three series.

The Fever, who are the sixth seed, are led by Rookie of the Year front-runner Caitlin Clark (19.2 points, 8.4 apg) and Kelsey Mitchell (19.2 ppg, 2.5 rpg) and won seven more games in the regular season than the year before.

This is the fourth time the teams have met in the postseason. The Sun swept Indiana in 2005, and the Fever won the series in 2007 and 2012. In 2012, the Fever went on to win the WNBA championship.

Caitlin Clark stats last game and season stats

In the season finale against the Washington Mystics, Clark played only 20 minutes and had eight points, eight assists, and five rebounds in the 92-91 loss.

The game played at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., was attended by 20,711 fans, the largest in WNBA history.

Clark finished her rookie season averaging 19.2 points, 8.4 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals per game. She shot 41.7% from the field, 34.4% from 3-point land and 90.6% at the free-throw line.

The first two weeks have been … weird. Baker Mayfield and Derek Carr are the two top quarterbacks. J.K. Dobbins, Jordan Mason, Chris Godwin, Jayden Reed, Alec Pierce, and Jameson Williams are all top-six at their respective positions. The TE1 and TE2, respectively, are Isaiah Likely and Brock Bowers. In total, 14 fantasy defenses have scored more than the current TE7, Kyle Pitts. Fun.

Week 3 fantasy football quarterback rankings

I like them more…

Dating back to last year, Derek Carr has finished as a top-seven fantasy quarterback in five of his previous six games. He’s finished as the QB13 or higher in nine of his last 14. He’ll face an Eagles team that was second in fantasy points allowed to the position last year and has allowed Jordan Love and Kirk Cousins to finish as the QB11 and QB8, respectively.
Brock Purdy might be missing three of his top weapons (Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey), but this matchup with the Rams is too good to ignore. Since Week 4 of last year, only the Commanders have ceded more fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. During that stretch, Los Angeles has given up more than 17 fantasy points to the position in 11 of its 16 games.

I like him less…

Caleb Williams gets a matchup that might seem tempting but is probably best to avoid for now. Through two weeks, the Colts look like the definition of a run-funnel defense. Running backs have toted the rock 76 times against them, which is 14 more than the team in third place. This isn’t new – last season, only the Cardinals faced more carries from running backs. Williams has finished as the QB31 and QB29 through two weeks, and this might not be the week he breaks out.

Week 3 fantasy football running back rankings

I like them more…

Tony Pollard faces a Green Bay front that’s surrendered 132 yards to Saquon Barkley and 135 yards to Jonathan Taylor in its first two games. To date, Pollard is one of only four backs to have 30-plus carries and at least 10 targets. With Tyjae Spears banged up, the volume should be there in this one as well.
Zack Moss has received 13 opportunities (carries + targets) in each of the first two games, and that should play well against a porous Washington defense. In 2023, only the Cardinals were more generous to opposing backs than the Commanders.

I like him less…

Dating back to last year, James Conner has been a top-12 back in six straight games, but this could be the week that streak comes to an end. He faces a Lions squad that allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs in 2023. Through two games this season, Detroit once again ranks first against the position, despite facing Kyren Williams and Rachaad White.

Week 3 fantasy football wide receiver rankings

I like them more…

Amari Cooper’s 27 receiving yards are 62 fewer than any other wideout with at least 17 targets in 2024. The 30-year-old is currently third in the league in air yards and inside the top-20 in expected fantasy points per game. Last year, 19 receivers hit double-digit half-PPR points against the Giants. This seems like an ideal get-right spot.
Among wide receivers with more than 10 targets, Diontae Johnson’s five “catchable” passes are tied for dead last, according to FantasyPros. Bryce Young couldn’t hit water from a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The move to Andy Dalton makes Johnson an intriguing play against an unimposing Raiders secondary.

I like him less…

In his career, Jaylen Waddle has played eight games without Tua Tagovailoa behind center. In those games, he’s finished as the WR27, WR72, WR75, WR17, WR77, WR16, WR36, and WR42. Not great, Bob.

Week 3 fantasy football tight end rankings

I like him more…

Jake Ferguson finished as TE1 eight times last year, and six of those came at AT&T Stadium. He’ll square off against a Ravens defense that’s allowed more than 12 half-PPR points to five tight ends over their last 12 games, including 14.3 to Brock Bowers last week.

I like him less…

Sam LaPorta has managed just seven targets through two games. He averaged 7.1 targets per game in 2023 and never had a two-game stretch with fewer than nine. His expected fantasy points per game has dropped from 14.7 last year to 8.7 this season. He’ll face a Cardinals defense that was ninth-best against the position a season ago and has allowed just three receptions to tight ends so far in 2024.

Week 3 fantasy football rankings

(This story was updated to add new information.)

Ja’Marr Chase’s outburst at a referee last weekend came with a heavy price.

The Cincinnati Bengals star receiver was fined $31,599 for verbal abuse on an official, as his complaint to referee Alex Kemp during last Sunday’s showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs elicited no mercy from NFL headquarters. 

Chase was upset by what he considered to be an illegal hip-drop tackle by a Chiefs defender, drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the fourth quarter for apparently crossing the line in expressing himself to Kemp. 

Upon further review, the NFL did not find any evidence of an illegal hip-drop tackle against Chase during the Chiefs’ 26-25 victory at Arrowhead Stadium.

The NFL did, however, find a hip-drop violation in the other high-profile case last weekend that ignited intense scrutiny of the new rule. Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was fined $16,883 for using the illegal tactic in tackling Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon, who didn’t return after suffering an ankle injury. 

After the game, Mixon and Texans coach DeMeco Ryans were adamant in declaring the case a violation of the rule. 

“The NFL and NFLPA made it a rule and an emphasis for a reason,” Mixon posted on X. “Time to put your money where your mouth is.” 

Mixon didn’t practice all week because of the injury and has been ruled out for a clash of unbeatens on Sunday when the Texans visit the Minnesota Vikings.   

Three other players were also fined for hip-drop violations: 

–Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton was fined $16,883. Bolton’s case, late in the first quarter, didn’t involve Chase. He was fined for an open-field tackle on Cincinnati rookie tight end Erick All Jr. 

–New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley was fined $16,883 for a tackle on Tennessee Titans receiver Tyler Boyd. 

–Los Angeles Rams defensive end Desjuan Johnson was fined $5,191 for bringing down Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson. 

None of the cases that resulted in hip-drop fines were penalized during the game, but the violations were discovered during the league’s review of each game. That’s what NFL officials suspected might be the case when the ban was adopted last spring, but it hardly quashes suspicions in the heat of the moment about potential violations. 

The four hip-drop violations were double the total from Week 1. 

Two other notable fines involved crass end zone celebrations as Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London and New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr were both fined $14,069 for unsportsmanlike conduct. 

London pretended to spray machine gun fire during his celebration. Carr mimicked the legendary Michael Jackson but crossed the line during his brief demonstration with a sexually suggestive thrust of his hips. 

Tom Brady is scheduled to call his third NFL game during Week 3 this Sunday.

Brady was alongside Kevin Burkhardt in the book for the Cowboys’ Week 1 matchup with the Cleveland Browns and Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. His broadcasting debut drew mixed reactions, but his second time on the call provided him a chance to improve.

Tom Brady was sharp while calling the Week 2 NFC matchup. He provided insight into the action on the field. His familiarity with Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s system allowed him to break down New Orleans’s impressive 44-point performance.

Cowboy fans will get another dose of TB12 in Week 3. Brady will be on the call in Dallas again.

Here’s what to know about Brady’s third opportunity to broadcast this weekend:

What game is Tom Brady broadcasting?

Game: Cowboys vs. Ravens
Start time: 4:25 p.m. ET

Tom Brady will be on the call for the Fox broadcast this Sunday at AT&T Stadium, where the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens will play. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET.

Tom Brady will accompany his broadcast partner, Kevin Burkhardt, while Tom Rinaldi and Erin Andrews will report from the sidelines.

This is a late afternoon game on the Sunday schedule, so there is potential for massive viewership. The reported viewership for FOX Sports’s Cowboys-Browns Week 1 matchup was 23.8 million, making it the network’s most-watched Week 1 game since 2020.

Will Tom Brady broadcast a Patriots game?

When Tom Brady signed a 10-year contract with Fox, NFL fans wondered when would be the first opportunity for Brady to call a New England Patriots game. At this point, there have been no announcements beyond Week 3.

However, there is speculation that Tom Brady will broadcast the Patriots’ first home game airing on Fox in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Brady spent his first 20 seasons playing for New England, and a return to Foxborough in the booth will be something to watch.

What is Tom Brady’s broadcasting salary?

The future Hall of Fame quarterback reportedly signed a historic 10-year, $375 million contract with Fox Sports.
