“Sick and Tired”: Colts Defensive Leader DeForest Buckner Just Said What Every Colts Fan Has Been Thinking For Years
After the Indianapolis Colts squandered a 13‑0 halftime lead to lose 26‑20 to the 0‑5 Tennessee Titans, defensive stalwart DeForest Buckner bluntly told reporters he’s “sick and tired of the same song and dance.” Despite outgaining Tennessee 399‑186 yards and holding them to just 11 first downs, the Colts fell victim to a fumbled snap, red‑zone interceptions, a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and costly penalties. Buckner’s outburst reflects growing locker‑room frustration with coach Shane Steichen’s repeated “fix the basics” rhetoric and raises questions about the franchise’s roster construction under owner Carlie Irsay‑Gordon.
Thunder Lock Up Cason Wallace With 5-Year, $139M Extension
The Oklahoma City Thunder lock down All-Defensive guard Cason Wallace with a five‑year, $139 million rookie‑scale extension, sealing the deal before the 2023 draft class deadline. The 22‑year‑old, a former No. 10 pick from Kentucky, posted 8.6 points, 1.9 steals and a league‑leading 150 total steals last season, earning second‑team All‑Defensive honors and a spot in the Defensive Player of the Year race. With the extension, all five Thunder starters—Gilgeous‑Alexander, Williams, Holmgren, Hartenstein and Wallace—are under contract through 2028‑29, though the team risks a $26 million luxury‑tax overage in 2027‑28 as they chase a second championship in three years.

Cleveland’s lone run comes in the sixth, driven in by Steven Kwan. Bryan Baker closes with his fifth postseason save as the Rays, now 98-64, sit one win away from the American League pennant.

CJ Gardner-Johnson Ejected For Spitting Incident Vs Raiders
Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson is ejected before halftime in the Week 6 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders after a replay shows him appear to spit on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers during a verbal clash. The incident forces Damar Hamlin into the secondary, leaving the Bills—now 4‑1—short a veteran defender. Gardner-Johnson’s ejection adds to a string of recent fines ($11,194 each) and prior suspensions, including a 2024 ejection with the Eagles. The NFL has not announced further discipline, but additional penalties are expected.
76ers Sign Tacko Fall to Two-Way Contract
The Philadelphia 76ers fill their final two‑way slot by signing 7‑ft‑6 center Tacko Fall, returning to the NBA after a stint with China’s Ningbo Rockets. The deal, revealed by Shams Charania, addresses a front‑court shortage caused by Ariel Hukporti’s season‑ending Achilles injury. Fall can appear in up to 50 games with the Sixers and will also play for the G League’s Delaware Blue Coats. He averaged 11.2 points, six rebounds and 2.1 blocks overseas, but a lingering left hip strain may keep him out of the season opener against the Knicks on Tuesday.

The New York Giants bench running back Cam Skattebo for the first time this season, leaving him on the sideline for six snaps without a single touch in a 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The decision follows a Week 5 overtime fumble against Washington that gave the Commanders a chance to win, marking Skattebo’s fourth fumble in 81 carries.

Skattebo’s next chance to earn carries comes in Week 7.
Ohio State Buckeyes, now #3, Might Have Trouble With Julian Sayin Hurt
Ohio State’s 19-15 win over Indiana lifts the Buckeyes to No. 3 in the AP poll, but the victory turns bittersweet as quarterback Julian Sayin, a Heisman finalist, suffers an injury that could sideline him for several weeks.

Falcons’ Kendal Daniels Hospitalized After Neck Injury In Week 6
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Kendal Daniels is hospitalized after a neck injury in the third quarter of the Oct. 18 game against the Chicago Bears. The injury occurred when Daniels' facemask hit Bears tight end Colston Loveland’s knee on a tackle. Medics immobilized his neck, cut his jersey and rushed him to Memorial Hospital; the team says he is alert and moving all extremities, but no diagnosis or return timeline has been given. Daniels, the Falcons’ green‑dot defensive signal‑caller, had 22 tackles, two for loss, a sack and a pass defended this season. With fellow green‑dot Divine Deablo already out, Atlanta must reshuffle defensive play‑calling before its next matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
