The WNBA playoffs tipoff on Sunday, Sept. 14 with four games.

The No. 1 Minnesota Lynx play host to the No. 8 Golden State Valkyries at the Target Center in Minneapolis at action gets going.

The Lynx saved some of their best looks of the year for the opening game. MVP candidate Napheesa Collier led the way for the Lynx with her cropped puffer vest, Jordan brand top and camo pants.

Here’s some more looks for the Lynx:

And the best of the bunch:

Golden State kept it all business, in athletic gear for Game 1.

And we can’t forget Kate Martin with her coffee.

Allisha Gray and Rhyne Howard brought it in western wear leading into the Atlanta Dream’s game against the Indiana Fever.

Kelsey Mitchell and Aliyah Boston brought it as the Fever arrived.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had to briefly leave his team’s Week 2 game against the New York Jets after suffering a nose injury.

The injury occurred on a designed quarterback running during which Allen tried to carry the ball up the middle. He appeared to inadvertently get hit in the face by a Jets tackler while he went to the ground.

Below is a look at the play that left Allen injured.

Allen immediately motioned he had to come off the field after the injury. He removed his helmet and jogged to the sideline, where medical staffers began working on his nose.

Mitch Trubisky came into the game to replace Allen. He completed his lone pass to Josh Palmer for a 32-yard gain.

Allen was able to return to the game at the start of the second quarter, with gauze stuffed into his left nostril. He missed just two plays after being injured, with the Bills PR adding the quarterback was dealing with a bloody nose.

Allen was able to play the remainder of the first half after returning from injury. He completed 5 of 9 passes for 56 yards during the second quarter and helped lead Buffalo to 10 points in the frame.

The NFL initiated a moment of silence for conservative commentator Charlie Kirk before the Packers-Commanders game on Sept. 11.
The league left it up to individual home teams to decide whether to hold similar tributes.
Several teams, including the Titans, Dolphins, Jets, Cowboys, and Saints, held moments of silence.

The Green Bay Packers held a moment of silence to honor conservative commentator Charlie Kirk prior to their ‘Thursday Night Football’ matchup against the Washington Commanders on Sept. 11.

With league commissioner Roger Goodell in attendance for that game, it was the NFL’s decision to have the moment of silence. Kirk, 31, was shot and killed at a speaking event in Utah on Wednesday, Sept. 10.

“He was a national figure,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told USA TODAY Sports. “The murder took place about 24 hours before the game.

“There have been a variety of moments of silence and tributes in-stadium and on-air in all games or a game immediately following events that rise to a national level. Clubs also often hold moments following a tragic event that affects their community.”

But for the rest of the Week 2 slate, the decision to do so was left to the 15 respective home teams. Here is a list of which teams opted to hold a pregame recognition for Kirk.

Which NFL teams held a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk?

The Tennessee Titans had Kirk’s picture (with his family) on the jumbotron for its moment of silence.

The Miami Dolphins had a moment of silence for Kirk, the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks ‘and any other victims of violence’ along with a ‘prayer for unity in our country.’

The New York Jets also honored Kirk, as did the Dallas Cowboys. Prior to the national anthem in New Orleans, the Saints observed a moment of silence.

The Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions did not have moments of silence for Kirk.

For the second time in three years, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off in a Super rematch.

Last season’s Super Bowl teams match up again in the biggest game of the NFL’s Week 2 slate. Philadelphia dominated Kansas City en route to a 40-22 win in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans in February.

It’s been seven months but each team is a little different. Philadelphia’s entering its second regular season game following offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s departure to New Orleans. Kansas City’s missing Super Bowl 59 leading receiver Xavier Worthy but boasts an improved offensive line thanks to rookie left tackle Josh Simmons.

The Eagles won their seventh consecutive game (including playoffs) in Week 1 with a 24-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys on opening night. A day later, the Chiefs couldn’t match that pace and fell to the Los Angeles Chargers 27-21 in Brazil.

Two years ago, the Chiefs and Eagles met in Kansas City the season following their matchup in Super Bowl 57. Philadelphia won that regular season game 21-17 after losing the Super Bowl.

The Eagles could move to 2-0 with another win in Kansas City or the Chiefs may get a measure of payback for that Super Bowl loss. USA TODAY Sports will provide live updates, highlights and more from their late afternoon game.

Chiefs vs Eagles live odds, moneyline, over/under

Jalen Carter suspension

The Eagles’ star defensive lineman was ejected from the season opener against the Cowboys for spitting on quarterback Dak Prescott and later fined $57,222, the equivalent of a full game check.

Carter crucially was not handed an additional suspension so he will be cleared to take the field against the Chiefs. This incident happened seven seconds into the game before the Eagles’ defense had taken a single snap.

“It was a mistake that happened on my side, and it just won’t happen again,’ Carter said. ‘I feel bad, just for my teammates and the fans out there. It won’t happen again. I made that promise.’

Why did Chiefs announcer Dale Carter resign?

Carter was the Chiefs’ public address announcer for the last 16 years. He announced in a Facebook post this week that he has resigned from his position with the Chiefs.

‘So, why leave? Over the last few years, the team has made changes to what I do,’ Carter stated in his post. ‘Going into the playoffs last year they asked me to make a significant change to how I’ve called the games (which I tried to do, even though I disagreed with it). Going into this season they wanted a further adjustment that crosses my red line.’

“We appreciate Dale’s dedication and professionalism as the in-stadium voice at GEHA Field at Arrowhead over the past 16 seasons,” the Chiefs said in a statement. “We understand and respect his decision and wish him all the best moving forward.”

Xavier Worthy injury update

The Chiefs’ top wide receiver in Super Bowl 59 was knocked out of the team’s opener against the Chargers on their first drive of the game.

Worthy did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday and Friday and he will not be playing against the Eagles.

Worthy’s injury has been diagnosed as a dislocated shoulder and coach Andy Reid told reporters they are taking things ‘day-by-day’ in his recovery. He has not been placed on injured reserve so there is a chance he returns to the lineup in Week 3 for ‘Sunday Night Football’ against the New York Giants.

Is Tank Bigsby playing today?

After Week 1’s Sunday games finished, Philadelphia sent fifth- and sixth-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft to the Jacksonville Jaguars for running back Tank Bigsby. Jacksonville selected Bigsby in the third round, No. 88 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Bigsby is on the active roster and could get some action against the Chiefs as backup running back Will Shipley is out with a rib injury.

Bigsby had five carries for 12 yards in the Jaguars’ opener against Carolina. His best year with Jacksonville came last season when he tallied 168 carries for 766 yards and seven touchdowns.

When the Detroit Lions kicked off their 2025 home opener against the Chicago Bears, they did so with a couple of notable celebrities in the building.

‘Tonight Show’ host Jimmy Fallon and Michigan-born actor Keegan-Michael Key were featured guests at Ford Field for Sunday’s Week 2 matchup. Fallon was visible on the broadcast pumping up the crowd while waving a Lions ‘One Pride’ flag as Key applauded and laughed.

The two celebs are in town to film an episode of the ‘Tonight Show,’ NBC’s flagship late-night talk show, at the Detroit Opera House on Sunday night. The special episode will air on Monday, Sept. 15.

Key is a Lions superfan, so his appearance at Ford Field isn’t completely uncommon. It’s unclear if Fallon is a diehard of any of the NFL’s 32 teams, but his cameo alongside Key can be chalked up to the filming.

Through the first 25 minutes of the Lions’ game against the Bears, Detroit leads, 21-7.

The Milwaukee Brewers became the first MLB team to clinch a playoff berth, but while there was plenty of outward joy following their walk-off victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Saturday night, the celebration was decidedly more low-key.

Part of that was because the Brewers know they have higher aspirations this postseason. And part of that was a special, heartfelt message from a Milwaukee icon.

With a glass of champagne in hand, manager Pat Murphy read a letter from legendary Brewers broadcaster Bob Uecker, who died in February at the age of 90.

‘Howdy, boys. Never a doubt you would get this invitation,’ the letter began. 

‘God Almighty picked me to be on his team up here, albeit I’m the third catcher,’ Uecker’s letter continued, drawing laughs from the players.

He continued: ‘I know you guys really don’t need me, but I’ve got to tell you, but I’ll be on the headset every night watching. Don’t forget to take it all in, enjoy it, keep it light and believe in each other.’

From there, Murphy raised a toast to Uecker, who spent 54 seasons as a Brewers broadcaster.

With a 91-58 record and 6½-game lead over the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central, the Brewers’ magic number for clinching the division title entering play on Sunday, Sept. 14, is eight. They’re even further ahead of the West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers, virtually assuring them of a bye in the first round of the playoffs.

UCLA football has hit an all-time low following a horrible loss to New Mexico.
Georgia Tech kicker Aidan Birr ran on the field and made a game-winning 55-yard field goal.
Southern California and Purdue had a pair of unreal touchdowns in their Big Ten collision.

Before the season started, UCLA coach Deshaun Foster limited media and public viewing of fall camp, looking like he was trying to hide what could be a special team.

Maybe he was trying to protect people’s eyes from its horrors.

Any hope of optimism is gone with the Bruins showing signs of a team that may just struggle to win a game this season. It’s a sudden freefall for a team that had mometum at the end of 2024 and had more optimism with the arrival of quarterback Nico Iamaleava from Tennessee. It got off on a sour note when Utah dismantled UCLA in the opener, and things got worse when a comeback from 23 points down at UNLV ended in the final minute.

Things were expected to get better at home Friday against New Mexico, which features more than 70 new players under first-year coach Jason Eck. Instead, the Bruins were humbled in a 35-10 defeat at the hands of the Lobos, which UCLA paid $1.2 million to visit Pasadena.

The losses don’t stop there. Not only is this season not panning out, but the attendance at the Rose Bowl continues to look rough. Plus, there’s a Championship Subdivision conference joking it wouldn’t even want the Bruins, and their former home − the Pac-12 − enjoying the downfall of one of the programs that blew up the league.

UCLA has truly hit rock bottom. Deshaun Foster hasn’t worked out at his alma mater and likely won’t be coaching the Bruins in 2026. Remarkable turnarounds have happened before across the country, but it doesn’t look like one is happening any time soon, and they lead the best and worst things from Week 3 of college football.

Best: fire drills

We’ve seen far too often college kickers unable to nail game-winning kicks, even when they have plenty of time to set up. But having to run on the field as quick as possible to kick a career-long field goal? That’s asking for disaster.

Not at Georgia Tech. With under 20 seconds left and no timeouts, the Yellow Jackets kicking unit perfectly got on the field in time for Aidan Birr to drill a 55-yard field goal to move Georgia Tech to 3-0.

It’s a win that deserves a celebration at the school president’s pool.

Worst: Virginia Tech’s downfall

If UCLA is the king of disappointment, Virginia Tech is one of the next in line for the throne. Things have gotten unfortunate in Blacksburg, as Old Dominion walloped the Hokies 45-26.

It’s the second consecutive week Virginia Tech was blown out at Lane Stadium, turning what is one of the best environments in the sport to a place of sadness. Even worse, the Hokies are 0-3 for the first time since 1987.

Best: Villanova avoids shutout in spectacular fashion

It was obvious from the start that Penn State was going to defeat in-state foe Villanova. And the Nittany Lions held a 52-0 lead in the fourth quarter.

But Villanova didn’t quit. The Wildcats were at Penn State’s 8-yard line with four seconds left and a chance to find the end zone and avoid the shutout. Quarterback Tanner Maddocks scrambled and threw the ball, hoping for a prayer. It was answered by Brandon Binkowski, who made an amazing one-handed catch to get on the scoreboard and ruin Penn State’s shot at back-to-back shutouts for the first time since 1996.

Sometimes, you got to enjoy the little wins.

Worst: Speaking too soon

While the Pac-12 got an aforementioned laugh at UCLA, karma had some other plans.

The two schools in the league this season didn’t have anything better of a weekend. Texas Tech easily handled Oregon State 45-14 and Washington State was thumped 59-10 by North Texas, really relegating the ‘Conference of Champions’ to Group of Five level. Life comes at you fast.

Best: Unreal touchdowns in Southern California-Purdue

It’s still weird Southern California and Purdue are conference foes, and their first Big Ten matchup was as strange as it could get.

Not only was it delayed three hours due to lightning, it had some wild touchdowns scored. The first came on a complete fail. Purdue attempted a double pass and Boilermakers quarterback Ryan Browne couldn’t haul it in. However, it went backwards and technically was a lateral. Browne picked it up and ran it in for a 26-yard touchdown.

Later in the third quarter, Purdue was driving until Browne threw an interception that found the hands of USC’s Jamaal Jarrett. The 6-foot-5-inch, 360-pound lineman turned on the jets and ran it back for a big man pick six you’ll just love to see.

Worst: Chair safety

Chairs probably hate seeing they are being sent to state of Indiana at this point. Texas A&M coach Mike Elko was frustrated about his defense giving up a touchdown to Notre Dame, and he took out that anger on a poor innocent folding chair on the sideline before grilling into his players.

What did that chair ever do? The spirit of Bob Knight lives on.

Best: Making history

Kirk Ferentz is the longest current tenured coach in FBS, and after 27 seasons leading Iowa, he’s now in the Big Ten record books. With the win over Massachusetts, Ferentz surpasses the great Woody Hayes as the Big Ten’s winningest coach with 206 victories.

The Hawkeyes have sure had their struggles, but Ferentz has consistently put together tough teams that always compete in the Big Ten, and that’s why he’s kept his job for so long. Congratulations to an Iowa legend.

Worst: Offering a date with your mom

This one can probably be viewed on either side, but there was a strange incentive to Vanderbilt’s big win over South Carolina: a date with the quarterback’s mom.

Ahead of the game, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia told comedian Theo Von if the Commodores won, he’d set him up on a date with his mom. It sounds made up until it was confirmed on the broadcast.

Of course, Vanderbilt made an emphatic statement with a 31-7 win over the Gamecocks to move to 3-0. Now, it looks like a date is set. Why?

Best: close finishes

Two marquee games in Week 3 lived up to the hype with some thrilling finishes.

Tennessee and Goergia played arguably the game of the season as both teams looked like they were going to take the win. It went all the way down to the final play of regulation, when Tennessee couldn’t hit a game-winning kick, and it proved to be critical as the Bulldogs won in overtime on a touchdown to seal the comeback.

In South Bend, Texas A&M and Notre Dame played a barn burner that had all sorts of twists and turns. On their final play, the Aggies executed a thrilling game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left to stun the Fighting Irish and send them to 0-2.

When it comes to the big games, we want classics. We got them, and it’s a perfect reminder why we all love this sport.

Ricky Hatton, a former world boxing champion who won titles in the light welterweight and welterweight divisions, was found dead at his home in England, multiple European news outlets reported Sunday. Hatton was 46.

‘Officers were called by a member of the public to attend Bowlacre Road, Hyde, Tameside, at 6:45am today where they found the body of a 46-year-old man,’ a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson told the British Broadcasting Company.

Authorities said they believe his death did not come under any suspicious circumstances. The Associated Press reported that police had not revealed the identity of the man but were working with his family to provide a statement.

‘A true champion, an indomitable spirit, and a legend of the sport. Your legacy will live on in every fight and in the hearts of boxing fans around the world,’ WBA Boxing said in a statement.

Hatton last fought in 2012 and said after he retired that he attempted suicide, struggling with alcohol, drug use and depression. He had announced a comeback recently and was set to fight Eisa Al Dah in a middleweight clash on Dec. 2 in Dubai.

In his career, Hatton went 45-3 with 32 KOs, and won his first world title in 2005, scoring an upset victory over Kosta Tszyu by TKO after Tszyu did not answer the bell for the 12th round.

But two of Hatton’s notable losses came to Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. Mayweather scored a 10-round TKO in 2007 when the two fought for the WBC welterweight title, and he was knocked out in the second round by Pacquiao in 2009, losing his IBO crown.

Hatton, whose nickname was ‘The Hitman,’ was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2024.

LSU football picked up a big win over rival Florida on Saturday, Sept. 13 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

However, judging from the Tigers’ coach Brian Kelly’s response to the first question in his postgame press conference, it would have been hard to tell that No. 4 LSU earned a 20-10 victory over the Gators on the back of five interceptions from the defense.

In victory, the Tigers (3-0, 1-0 SEC) scored as many touchdowns on offense as they did defense. But Kelly wanted nothing of a question from reporter Michael Cauble of WBRZ ― a local television news outlet. Kelly cut off Cauble mid-question.

‘Just stop. We won the game, 20-10. Try another question,’ Kelly said. ‘What do you want me to tell you? I just laid it out for you. We played the game to win the game.’

Look: Brian Kelly blows up on reporter on question about offense

LSU’s lone offensive score came with 7:33 left in the second quarter on a 23-yard reception from Zavion Thomas from quarterback Garrett Nussmeier. The Tigers’ other touchdown was on a Dashawn Spears 58-yard interception return in the third quarter, the only score of the second half.

The Gators, despite the loss, outgained LSU 366-316, but the defense forced Florida QB DJ Lagway into five interceptions and made the offensive struggles moot.

LSU was 4-for-14 on third downs and ran 24 fewer plays than Florida.

‘It’s one game. Last game, we were great on third down. You’re micro — you’re looking at this from the wrong perspective,’ Kelly said. ‘LSU won the football game. I don’t know what you want from me. What do you want? You want us to win 70 to nothing against Florida to keep you happy?’

Kelly was also snappy when asked about the LSU rushing game. The Tigers finished with 25 runs for 96 yards, averaging 3.8 yards per carry.

‘We can run the ball. Did you see the last play of the game? That’s all you need. You just need one. Those are ridiculous questions. And I’m getting tired of it,’ Kelly yelled. ‘That football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win and you want to know what’s wrong.

‘You know what? You’re spoiled,’ Kelly said as he pointed at reporters. ‘This team is 17-1 at night. Give them some respect, how about that? Instead of micro-analyzing every little thing. This is ridiculous. For a group of seasoned reporters, that kind of question is so out of line.’
