Bengals’ Ja’Marr Chase drops revelation about his matador celebration in Madrid
The Bengals beat the Falcons 34-17 in Week 9’s Madrid game, and star WR Ja’Marr Chase turned his 47‑yard TD into a matador routine that thrilled the local crowd. Chase explained that a friend suggested the bull‑fight theme to match Madrid’s cultural vibe, and teammate Tee Higgins even played the “bull.” The 26‑year‑old finished with 10 catches, 155 yards and his fourth straight touchdown, marking his second 140‑plus‑yard game in a row.

Falcons most to blame for getting carved up by Joe Burrow in NFL Madrid Game loss to Bengals
The Atlanta Falcons fall 34-17 to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9’s historic NFL game in Madrid. After a shutout loss to Tampa Bay, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. improves to 162 passing yards, one TD and one interception, but still can’t match Joe Burrow’s 31-yard, 2‑TD performance. The Falcons’ secondary—especially AJ Terrell and CJ Henderson—fails to contain Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, while offensive discipline crumbles with 12 penalties versus six for Cincinnati. Despite Penix’s claim of progress, the loss raises questions about the Falcons’ defensive scheme and whether a quarterback change is forthcoming.
Penny Hardaway fires back at haters after Memphis’ 2-0 start

With Hardaway now in his ninth year, the Tigers aim to rebound from a disappointing 2025‑26 campaign and face No. 24 Vanderbilt next. Despite three NCAA tournament appearances under Hardaway, the program has never progressed beyond the round of 32.

Trade deadline chatter heats up across the AFC. The Bills target secondary help, while the Browns eye a blocking tight end or pass rusher to bolster a playoff push.

Ravens keep RB Derrick Henry, after confirming a QB trade cost with the Colts and maintaining a solid rapport with Lamar Jackson.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith erupted during the Buckeyes' 41-28 loss to Oregon on Nov. 7, 2026, screaming after his first catch of the game and drawing sharp criticism from veteran reporter Jeremy Birmingham, who labeled the Heisman contender a “petulent child.” While CBS praised Smith’s competitive fire, former OSU star LeCharles Bentley defended him, calling the reporter’s remarks unfair. The backlash also resurfaced Birmingham’s 2025 legal troubles over alleged NIL fund mismanagement, highlighting a contentious media feud surrounding the Buckeyes’ season‑ending defeat.

Kucherov leads the team with 22 points (5‑17), tops shot‑attempt charts, and ranks in the 95th percentile for miles skated per game. He posted a season‑high nine shots and a 20‑shot attempt game, then sealed the win with a 4‑on‑3 power‑play goal, his 10th career overtime winner. The article details his trade request, desired $20 M‑per‑year extension, and his franchise‑record career totals.
How far Miami Hurricanes fell in AP Top 25 Poll after Notre Dame loss
After a 31-24 defeat to Notre Dame on Saturday, Miami Hurricanes tumble from No. 1 to No. 5 in the latest AP Top 25, while Georgia reclaims the top spot. The loss ends Miami’s perfect 8‑0 start under coach Mario Cristobal and drops them four places behind Utah, Notre Dame and UCLA. Quarterback Darian Mensah threw for 276 yards, three TDs and one interception, with Elija Lofton and Cooper Barkate combining for 205 receiving yards and three scores. Despite the setback, the Hurricanes remain in the CFP mix and aim to rebound at home against Duke on Nov. 14.
Kris Bubic Is A Perfect Fit For The Washington Nationals Rotation
The Washington Nationals should target left‑hander Kris Bubic this offseason as a versatile pitch‑ing option. Bubic’s breakout 2025 season with Kansas City saw a 2.55 ERA, 116 strikeouts in 116⅓ innings and his first All‑Star nod before a rotator‑cuff strain ended his year. In 2026 he posted a solid 3.76 ERA, 3.54 FIP and a 9.16 K/9 rate across 14 games (nine starts) for the Royals and Dodgers, highlighted by a changeup that limited hitters to a .119 average. Despite Tommy John surgery in 2023 and recurring injuries, his swing‑and‑miss tools and proven bullpen work (2.67 ERA in 2024) give the Nats flexibility as a starter or long‑relief arm. ESPN projects a two‑year, $18 million deal, making him a high‑risk, high‑reward acquisition if he can stay healthy.

He finishes the half with 120 passing yards on 11 of 15 throws, two touchdowns and seven rush yards, while coach Andy Reid says the injury is minor but painful.
Steelers to play second consecutive game with AFC North lead on the line
The Steelers keep the AFC North crown on the line for a second straight week as they travel to Cincinnati on Sunday night. After securing first place with a Week 8 win over Cleveland, Pittsburgh hoped the Falcons would upset the Bengals during their bye, but Cincinnati’s 34‑17 victory pushes the Bengals to 6‑2 and a chance to seize sole possession of the division. The Steelers lead the tiebreaker after a 30‑27 win in Week 3 and hold a 5‑2 record in the last seven meetings. A Bengals win would flip the standings.

Could have, would have: Northwestern falls ugly to Iowa

Backup QB Nicco Marchiol, thrust into action after Aidan Chiles' injury, posted 52 rushing yards but the Wildcats sputtered on third down (1‑for‑11) while Iowa converted 7‑of‑13. Coach Chip Kelly's limited use of RBs Joseph Himon II and Caleb Komolafe drew criticism, and the Wildcats logged just 54 tackles versus Iowa’s 79. Despite a late rally, head coach Pat Braun stressed the need for consistency and better fundamentals as the loss likely ends NU’s CFP hopes.

Purdue Football: Kevin Kane Relieved of Defensive Coordinator Duties
Purdue's head coach Barry Odom has fired defensive coordinator Kevin Kane after a crushing 34-0 home loss to Maryland, marking the latest blow to a defense that has allowed 66 points to Indiana, 38 to Wake Forest, 52 to UCLA, and 49 to Notre Dame this season.

5 major reasons Michigan should fire Kyle Whittingham
Michigan’s 5‑4 season, highlighted by a 20‑19 loss to Iowa and a defeat by rivals Michigan State, has sparked a firestorm over head coach Kyle Whittingham. Critics argue he should be fired for five key reasons: retaining offensive coordinator Jason Beck despite a No. 132 total‑offense ranking, deferring critical in‑game decisions to assistants, poor communication and lack of motivation on the sideline, an unnerving absence of urgency at age 66, and an overall failure to inspire the team. The article cites specific game moments, quotes from Whittingham, and social‑media criticism to illustrate the growing dissatisfaction.

Despite the injury scare, Denver leads 10-0 after the first quarter before Carolina narrows the gap. The Broncos now face a bye week before hosting the Las Vegas Raiders on November 22.
