The Los Angeles Chargers have confirmed that offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel will retain play‑calling duties despite the unit ranking last in the NFL with a 15.0 points‑per‑game average and the team’s 0‑6 start. Head coach Jim Harbaugh announced the decision during the bye week, despite criticism targeting McDaniel for the Chargers' offensive woes, injuries, and quarterback struggles. The move follows a six‑point outing against the Chiefs that left the Chargers at the bottom of the league. McDaniel, previously praised for his work with the Dolphins, now faces mounting pressure as the season stalls.
Returning from a high‑ankle sprain, Patriots wideout A.J. Brown has struggled, catching just six of 16 targets for 75 yards over two games and dropping passes against the Jets. He admits to missed blocks that hurt Rhamondre Stevenson’s run game but says he’s “okay” physically and refuses to make excuses. Brown hopes to rebound against Miami’s ailing secondary, the league’s worst pass defense, while quarterback Drake Maye expresses confidence that Brown will find his flow soon.
Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis III is set to return Sunday against the Miami Dolphins after a neck injury that kept him out for five games. Davis, who missed the season opener, Week 2, and the last three contests, says he’s finally feeling ready and eager to contribute. His comeback bolsters a secondary that’s also missing safety Craig Woodson and corner Christian Gonzalez, who is recovering from illness. The unit’s full lineup for the first time since Week 1 promises a boost in cohesion and playmaking as New England aims to improve its defensive performance.
After scoring 29 points against Spoelstra's Heat, the Mavericks star said he would love to play for his country if he is ever asked.
According to Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are actually claiming G Christian Haynes. Miami submitted a claim and is higher in the order than the Ravens. Baltimore mistakenly announced on their social media that they had claimed Haynes. Haynes, 26, was a four-year starter at UConn and earned second-team All-American honors in 2022. He was a […]

The Patriots arrive at the Dolphins with a clean 53‑man roster after right guard Ben Brown returns from a knee injury, while cornerback Carlton Davis III ends a three‑game neck‑injury stretch. Miami lists OT Kadyn Proctor (concussion) and CB JuJu Brents (neck, concussion) as non‑participants, with several players limited, including WR Malik Washington and TE Greg Dulcich. New England’s limited list features WR A.J. Brown (knee, ankle), OT Morgan Moses (foot) and DT DaQuan Jones (back). With the offensive line allowing just two sacks in the past two games, the injury updates set the stage for Sunday’s 4:25 p.m. ET clash at Hard Rock Stadium.
The Miami Dolphins face a tough challenge against the Patriots this week, and they may have to do it without two of their best starters.
Here are two trades the Miami Heat should explore to add more scoring and shooting around Giannis Antetokounmpo after their rough 0-4 start.
Washington made four 3-pointers, tied up Antetokounmpo for three jump balls, and grabbed the game's final rebound in the 113-109 win.
Risacher added 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, and a steal, and Dallas was plus-9 in his minutes as May said nobody on the roster will tell him to stop shooting.
Bam Adebayo isn’t happy about being singled out for the Miami Heat’s struggles, with the franchise falling to 0-4 following Monday’s 113-109 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Despite Miami acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo in a blockbuster offseason trade, the Heat remain winless, and Adebayo believes he’s receiving an unfair share of the criticism. “You know, it’s […]

Sharp Football Analysis’s Week 8 fantasy worksheet pits Patriots QB Drake Maye against Dolphins QB Malik Willis in a high‑scoring clash. Maye has fired 12 TDs and 0‑2 interceptions over four weeks, boasting a league‑leading 8.9 yards per attempt and a 66% deep‑ball completion rate, while Miami allows a league‑worst 0.61 passing points per attempt. The Patriots are -7.5 favorites; the implied total is 26 points. New England ranks 3rd in points per drive (2.88) and excels in 10‑yard passes (33.5%), but Miami’s defense gives up a 66.7% completion rate in the red zone. Willis, a volatile QB2, showed a season‑high 9.9 yards per pass and added rushing upside, making him a floor play in a matchup where the Dolphins have struggled against the pass.
The Dolphins clinched their first win of the season, 28-25 over the Jets, but now face two starters in concussion protocol ahead of Sunday’s AFC East showdown with the Patriots. Starting left guard Kadyn Proctor, who played every offensive snap, and cornerback JuJu Brents, who missed only six defensive snaps, both showed concussion symptoms earlier this week. Proctor missed Wednesday’s practice, while Brents was seen doing conditioning drills, suggesting he may be further along in recovery. Coach Jeff Hafley did not confirm when symptoms began, leaving their availability for the Patriots game uncertain.
Detroit’s trade saga may soon snap as interim GM Shawn Horcoff intensifies talks to move captain Dylan Larkin and young defenseman Simon Edvinsson. According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Larkin has expanded his no‑trade list to ten U.S. clubs, now including the New Jersey Devils alongside interest from Minnesota, Carolina, Colorado, Dallas, Florida, Tampa Bay, Vegas and Washington. Horcoff is actively courting rival front offices, seeking top‑tier young centers and elite prospects in exchange for the core pieces. The Red Wings remain patient, rejecting offers they deem insufficient, and will hold out for a “home‑run” return that matches Detroit’s long‑term re‑tooling plan.
Bam Adebayo's recent comments about the Miami Heat's struggles and being a "scapegoat" do not give Heat fans confidence for the future.
The Patriots are coming off a loss to the Bears that dropped them to 4-3 before heading to Miami. And the trade deadline is Nov. 10.

Two days after missing a game with a shoulder injury, rookie Cooper Flagg posts a 29‑point, 11‑assist, 6‑rebound double‑double to lift the Dallas Mavericks to a 113‑109 win over the Miami Heat at Kaseya Center.

ESPN analyst Brian Windhorst likens Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg to a 19‑year‑old LeBron James, noting Flagg’s historic line—29 points, 11 assists, six rebounds, five steals and three blocks—in Dallas’ 113‑109 win over Miami. Flagg became the first teen to tally at least 25 points, 10 assists, five rebounds and five steals in a game, and Windhorst argues he exceeds LeBron’s defensive versatility and fundamentals at that age, though LeBron was a bigger offensive force. The comparison comes despite Flagg playing through a shoulder sprain.
Dallas Mavericks star Cooper Flagg delivered an impressive all-around performance in his return from injury, helping his team secure a 113-109 road victory over the Miami Heat on Monday. Flagg had missed Saturday’s game because of a sprained left shoulder but showed no signs of being limited upon returning to the lineup. The reigning NBA […]
