(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Cleveland Guardians were staring elimination in the face. But after a comeback for the ages, they are now just four wins away from the World Series. Cleveland dropped the first two games of the ALDS to the Chicago White Sox, but the Guardians won three straight games to clinch the series, booking a spot in the ALCS. Now they’ll take on the Tampa Bay Rays, the top seed in the American League side of the playoff bracket. Here is everything y

(Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) | Getty Images The Detroit Lions’ offense is on a different level this season. Ranking 1st in the NFL in points scored, and 5th in offensive yards — the team boasts not only the league’s No. 1 passer in Jared Goff, but also a Top 3 running back and three receivers who rank in the league’s Top 30. While Goff unquestionably deserves his flowers, it’s Jahmyr Gibbs who is putting forth not just a record-breaking season by his own standards, but one which st

Photo by James Black/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images | Icon Sportswire via Getty Images College football’s regular season is halfway-ish finished, with 136 of the 138 FBS teams having played five or six games. The top of the sport still feels difficult to sort out: Georgia is the clear No. 1, and eight other unbeaten teams follow them. Texas, Ohio State, and Alabama are among the one-loss teams that look like legit title contenders. But it’ll take many more weeks to get a detailed picture at th

Justin Jefferson grew up in Louisiana before attending college at LSU. Jefferson teamed up with Joe Burrow and Ja’Mar Chase on one of the most explosive offenses in recent history at the college level, and it powered the Tigers to a national championship run. The Minnesota Vikings selected him in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and since then Jefferson has essentially been battling Chase for the title of best wide receiver alive. On Sunday, Jefferson got the chance to play a game in the s

(Photo by Scott Taetsch/Getty Images) | Getty Images Is there anything more indicative of the NFL’s parity than the NFC East right now? Here was a division many pegged to be one of the league’s most competitive, with the resolute Eagles, a Cowboys team ready to prove they can be elite, a revitalized Giants, and a healthy Commanders. Five weeks in we have the sorriest group of teams in the league. The Giants are in first, mostly by default. They’re playing decent football, sure — but nobody belie

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) | Getty Images It’s always fascinating when a team breaks the conventional rules of the NFL to find a new exploit. That’s exactly what the Ravens did in overtime on Sunday night, robbing the Falcons of any opportunity to even really play in the extra period and seal the victory on the road, 30-23. Kyle Hamilton won the toss for Baltimore in overtime and made the unheard-of decision to receive the ball. Logic dictates that since the advent of two-possession ov

Mike Evans is new to the rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, but he somehow already has one of the best pieces of trash talk in the storied recent history of this matchup. Seattle defensive back Trevon Diggs was talking smack to Evans during the first half of their Week 5 matchup when Evans responded with the nuclear option. As Diggs was chirping away, Evans responded by checking the back of his jersey to send a clear message: I don’t even know who you are, and I don’t

There are disappointing results for an NFL game. And then there is what happened at the end of Sunday’s contest between the Washington Commanders and the New York Giants, as the NFC East rivals combined to give fans the first tie of the 2026 season, as the game deadlocked at the end of overtime at 27-27. But how we arrived there is quite the journey. On a wet and soggy day at Northwest Stadium, the Commanders built a 27-13 lead early in the fourth quarter when Jayden Daniels, marking his return

The National Football League is filled with dynamic downfield playmakers. But Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase has to be at or near the top of any such list. Chase is a walking explosive play waiting to happen, and he has already delivered some phenomenal moments in the downfield passing game this season. But on this play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 5, he took things up a notch. Literally and figuratively. Chase and the Bengals offense faced a 2nd-and-7 situation near midfie

This is a rematch of the 2025 NLCS, which saw the Dodgers sweep the Brewers in four games, on their way to a second straight World Series title. Can the Dodgers keep their three-peat hopes alive, or will the Brewers finally get back to the World Series for the first time since they lost the 1982 World Series? Here is everything you need to know about

In the National Football League, there are a few positions that fans do not even think about until something bad happens. Holding for place kicks is one of those positions. That is considered a routine part of the game, almost an automated task you could imagine pulling off yourself while watching games from your couch. But it is a lot harder than it looks, and there are a lot of moving parts. From making sure the field goal unit is set, to catching the snap cleanly, to placing the ball down on

And a champion can now be crowned that weekend in Austin.

Sunday’s meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars got off to a chaotic start. Including a pair of ejections. After the Eagles won the toss and deferred, Jacksonville returned the opening kickoff for an apparent touchdown. But that was erased due to a holding penalty on the Jaguars, and that is when the frenzy truly began. A fight at midfield broke out and two players — Philadelphia’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville’s Bryan Thomas Jr. — were both ejected. You can

Can he make it two in a row on Saturday? The big points, of course, are handed out on Sunday.

Victor Wembanyama has never been shy about sharing his views on social issues away from the court. The San Antonio Spurs’ 22-year-old superstar came out against ICE in the wake of Alex Pretti and Renee Good’s murder by federal immigration enforcement officers earlier this year, and said he’ll never promote a sports gambling company. Wembanyama grew up in suburban Paris, so it’s no surprise that he also has thoughts on the massive protests across France by young people fighting for increased educ

From rookie defenders stepping into high-pressure roles to veterans setting club records without national fanfare, several players have anchored their teams through the 2026 campaign. Here is a look at some of the league’s most impactful, unsung heroes this sea

(Photo by Joe Portlock/Getty Images) | Getty Images Friday at the Marina Bay Street Circuit offered up a qualifying session for the Sprint race at the Formula 1 Grand Prix, which included showers of sparks in the night sky as the cars rocketed around the circuit as low as possible, pushing the envelope lap after lap. But the real sparks might have been in the FIA Press Conference. Zak Brown, Toto Wolff, and Alan Permane addressed the assembled media on Friday, and it offered up a chance for the
