Report: LeBron James is dealing with 2 troubling health issues

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Father Time has caught up to LeBron James in at least one regard.

The Philadelphia 76ers star James is dealing with two notable health issues that have required “special attention” during training camp, ESPN’s Dave McMenamin reported on Monday. James reportedly suffers from chronic arthritis in his left foot and also continues to manage sciatica in his lower back.

The revelation from McMenamin came from a larger feature on James’ first training-camp experience as a member of the 76ers. You can read the feature in full at the link here.

James, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, turns 42 years old later this year and is about to enter his record-extending 24th season in the league. As such, it makes sense that the physical ailments are piling up on him at this point.

Notably, James’ sciatica issue caused him to miss the first month of last season with the Los Angeles Lakers (with some concerning details emerging along the way). James ultimately manage to play in 60 total games, averaging 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per contest.

With the 76ers, James’ usage rate is expected to go down alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Jaylen Brown (a trio of career 20-ppg scorers). That should certainly help The King’s cause from a health standpoint, especially since he may not even be done after this season.

Adam Schefter names 1 team that would ‘make sense’ for Marvin Harrison Jr.

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Arizona Cardinals might move on from wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., and there should be lots of interest.

Adam Schefter hopped on “The Pat McAfee Show” and said a number of teams are doing their “due diligence” on Harrison. When Mcfaee asked which teams, Schefter didn’t name specifics.

However, McAfee asked about the Indianapolis Colts, and Schefter simply said this: “Wouldn’t that make sense?”

The Harrison trade rumors have grown, and several NFL executives said there is a chance he is moved by the No. 10 deadline.

Harrison has done his best to block out the noise, but it continues to be a possibility that he is sent elsewhere.

His father, Marvin Harrison, spent his entire career with the Colts, and he is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. So, Harrison Jr. going to Indy would be quite the story for both sides and for the fans.

The Colts could use a WR also, with Alec Pierce dealing with an injury.

Harrison Jr. had just 1 catch for 12 yards with a touchdown in Week 4, and he has just 5 catches for 85 yards and one score all season long.

The Colts’ current leading WR is Josh Downs, and he has 17 catches for 202 yards, with Laquon Treadwell (123) and Keenan Allen (100) as the only other WRs to cross the 100-yard mark.

So, could Marvin Harrison Jr. follow his father’s footsteps and go to the Colts? Only time will tell.

NFL reporter reveals what really happened during the Trey McBride incident

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride was involved in a viral incident with NFL referee Jeff Seeman during the game on Sunday against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The referee was seen yelling what appeared to be curse words at McBride after the tight end asked for a penalty.

It was quite the scene, and CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala gave her take on the way things went down.

She said she was standing there and heard McBride say “please” and “you’re ruining the game.”

NFL Players Association executive director JC Tretter issued a statement expressing his frustration about the referee’s actions by the referee in the post quoted by Kinkhabwala.

Adam Schefter of ESPN also said the NFL is reviewing the incident, but it surely seems that McBride didn’t say much to warrant such a reaction from the referee.

Another odd situation took place as referee Adrian Hill yelled at a Minnesota Vikings player after an unintentional collision, so it might be a busy week at the NFL league office.

Former NFL lineman blasts Jets coach Aaron Glenn after ugly Week 4 loss

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The New York Jets fell to 1-3 with a 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 4 at Soldier Field.

Even without star quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears put up 492 yards of offense, and the Jets had the ball for just over 17 minutes in a lopsided twist.

On Monday, Jets coach Aaron Glenn was catching heat, and former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz absolutely laid into Glenn, saying he should’ve been fired in the offseason.

“He’s not a good coach, Schwartz said. “He’s a terrible coach. I’ve said this for a year. They should’ve fired him this offseason.”

“I don’t understand why he’s still there.”

Glenn was hired in January 2025 after he spent time as the Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator. He went 3-14 in his first season, and the Jets are now off to a 1-3 start in 2026.

The silver lining is that the Jets snapped their 637-day streak of going without an interception, but the offense and defense just looked horrible against the Bears.

The Jets signed Glenn to a five-year contract, so he still has a lot of time left, although things could change if the team continues to play badly, especially with multiple first-round picks on the docket for 2027.

The Jets face the Cleveland browns and New England Patriots in the next two games.

Daniil Medvedev issues apology after shocking China Open disqualification

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Daniil Medvedev’s appearance in the semifinals of the China Open against Novak Djokovic came to an end with a disqualification.

Daniil Medvedev hit the ball into the stands out of frustration, and it hit a spectator, causing the fan to leave with a hand over his eye.

Following the incident, Medvedev issued an apology and said he was looking for the spectator.

“I am terribly sorry. I am trying to get in touch with the spectator to apologize. It was 100% an accident. I did not hit out of anger. I wanted to prevent the ball from going out,” Medvedev said.

Djokovic had a similar incident in the past. He was disqualified from the 2020 US Open for accidentally hitting a line judge in the throat, but now he was on the other side of it. He said after the match that he knows “how it feels.”

It was a stunning scene at the China Open, and Djokovic will now face off in the final on Tuesday against Alex de Minaur.

Karl-Anthony Towns has a blunt assessment of Knicks’ contract extension talks

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

It sure doesn’t seem like the New York Knicks and Karl-Anthony Towns will be able to work out a contract extension anytime soon.

With the 2026-27 NBA season just weeks away, Towns had a blunt assessment when he was asked about the status of an extension.

“It don’t look good,” Towns said on Monday morning, via James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.

Here’s more of what Towns said about the discussions.

“Simply put, I want to do something that can keep the team together and work with the Knicks and also values me,” Towns said. “None of those things have come close to happening.”

Reports have stated for a while that it seems “unlikely” that a new extension will be done before the season.

A full max deal for Towns would be somewhere around four years and $276 million, but the offer that surfaced was far less than that, meaning the Knicks wanted Towns to make around $200 million over four years.

Before the 2024-25 season, the Knicks sent Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Keita Bates-Diop, and a protected Detroit Pistons first-round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Towns.

Towns, who turns 31 on Nov. 15, averaged 20.1 points with 11.9 rebounds last season for the Knicks, as well as 15.9 PPG and 10.6 rebounds in the postseason.

If Towns declines his $61 million option, he could hit free agency next summer, so the clock is ticking for the two sides to get a new deal in place.

Alex Ovechkin makes major announcement about his NHL future

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Washington Capitals legend Alex Ovechkin is in his 22nd NHL season, and it turns out this will be his final chapter in a storied career.

On Monday, a video surfaced of Ovechkin speaking to his teammates and saying that he will retire following the 2026-27 NHL season.

Ovechkin also posted a statement on social media announcing the same thing.

Here’s part of what that read.

“My family and I decided this summer that this will be my final year in the NHL,” said Ovechkin. “I love this game so much, but I know in my heart it’s the right decision. It was important for me to make this announcement before our first home game, so I have the chance to thank all the people around the game, everyone who has been so important to me and my family and helped me through good times and tough losses.”

Ovechkin was the No. 1 overall pick by the Capitals in 2004, and he has spent his entire career in Washington, D.C. He is also the longest-tenured athlete in Washington, D.C. sports history.

Ovechkin also joined five other NHL legends as the only players to spend 22 seasons with the same franchise, and he is also on the cusp of several other accomplishments.

Here are some feats Ovechkin could achieve this season, per the Capitals website.

=

  • 11 goals shy of passing Wayne Gretzky (1,016) for the most combined goals (regular season + playoffs) in NHL history
  • 4 assists shy of passing Nicklas Backstrom (762) for the most assists in franchise history
  • 12 points shy of 1,700 career points
  • 25 games shy of 1,600 career games
  • 36 points shy of passing Mario Lemieux for the 9th-most points in NHL history
  • 33 games shy of passing Patrick Marleau (1,607) for the 2nd-most games played with one franchise in NHL history
  • 1 20-goal season shy of tying Gordie Howe (22) for the most in NHL history

Ovechkin is also first in NHL history in 10 different categories, including goals and power-play goals, and he is tied for first with 9 50-goal seasons.

Ovechkin signed a one-year deal with the team over the summer, so questions swirled about whether or not this would be the last chapter, and now he has made that decision.

The Capitals ‘ season opener will be on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Capital One Arena.

Tyreek Hill’s agent reveals timeline for potential signing

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill could land with a new team anytime in the near future.

On Monday morning, Adam Schefter of ESPN revealed that Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has provided a timeline for when Hill could sign, and it could be anytime in the next few days.

“I would anticipate Tyreek potentially signing with a team over the next few days,” Rosenhaus said.

Hill suffered a gruesome season-ending knee injury at the end of September last season, and he has been working towards making a return to the field.

Hill has also sparked plenty of intrigue with fans by posting cryptic messages on his X account.

On Sunday, the rumblings regarding Hill grew, especially after the horrible dislocated ankle suffered by Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton. Kansas City also saw WR Rashee Rice suffer an injury, and it was revealed that the Chiefs already reached out to Rosenhaus on Sunday regarding a potential comeback.

At this point, Tyreek Hill seems bound to be on an NFL team sometime within the next couple of weeks.

Patrick Mahomes’ wife Brittany appears to throw shade at Klint Kubiak

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs won the battle of undefeated AFC West teams on Sunday, with his wife adding some color to the evening with a subtle troll job.

The Chiefs improved to 4-0 in the 2026 NFL season after defeating the previously undefeated Las Vegas Raiders, 30-27, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. Following the win, Brittany Mahomes hopped on social media to celebrate the win by also seemingly throwing shade at Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak.

“We’re winning. We’re gonna win the game,” Mrs. Mahomes wrote as a caption for an Instagram post that showed her game-day poses at Allegiant Stadium.

For context, Kubiak was interviewed at the end of the second quarter, with the Raiders leading by only three points. Asked for his thoughts on Las Vegas coughing up only 17 rushing yards in the first half, Kubiak said, “Gotta be better, but you know what? We’re winning. We’re gonna win the game,” Kubiak told Tracy Wolfson of CBS.

Those words apparently reached Mahomes’ better half, and she made sure to let them bite Kubiak back after yet another Kansas City win. 

After both teams failed to score in the third quarter, the Chiefs grabbed the lead with a Tyquan Thornton touchdown with 14:50 left in the fourth period. The Raiders then scored two field goals to grab the lead and stretch it before Kenneth Walker found the end zone twice to give the Chiefs the lead for good. 

Now, the Chiefs will enjoy a long break with a bye in Week 5 before returning to action in Week 6 for a meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Chiefs player was visibly disturbed after seeing Tyquan Thornton’s gruesome injury

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Kansas City Chiefs left guard Mike Caliendo was a surprise starter on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he wasn’t ready for something far more shocking during the game.

Caliendo, who started over Kingsley Suamataia, was among the first ones to attend to wide receiver Tyquan Thornton after the latter suffered an ankle injury during a big play in the fourth quarter.

Apparently, Caliendo didn’t realize the severity of the injury until Thornton pointed to his gruesomely bent left ankle. Caliendo immediately looked away and stood up after seeing the injury, seemingly disturbed by it.

Here is a video showing Caliendo’s reaction.

Thornton was balling out before suffering the injury. The 55-yard catch he made during that play that left him injured helped set up Kenneth Walker III’s go-ahead rushing score in the Chiefs’ 30-27 win.

The former Baylor Bears star wide receiver left the Raiders game with 111 receiving yards and two touchdowns on five receptions and eight targets.

The exact severity of Thornton’s injury is yet to be determined. For what it’s worth, he was able to join his team on the flight back to Kansas City.

The Chiefs have a bye in Week 5 and will face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 6.

Jets’ Tyrel Bauer destroys Red Wings’ JT Compher with vicious blows

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Winnipeg Jets rookie defenseman Tyrel Bauer comes into games as though Bruce Buffer is introducing him every time.

In just his second game in the NHL, Bauer scored a big knockdown during a wild fight against Detroit Red Wings forward and veteran Keegan Kolesar during the first period of Sunday’s showdown at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Mich.

Before the scuffle, Bauer earned the ire of the Red Wings when he delivered a huge hit along the boards on Detroit skater J.T. Compher. Kolesar then immediately dropped his gloves and confronted Bauer, who rocked Kolesar with two big punches to put him down on the ice.

Here is a video of that entire sequence.

A slo-mo video of an enraged Bauer shows Kolesar seemingly going unconscious for a moment after taking a hard left to the chin.

Bauer and Kolesar each received a five-minute penalty for fighting. Kolesar got two more minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct, and the Jets took advantage by scoring the first goal of the contest on the power play, courtesy of Cole Perfetti, with a little over seven minutes left in the opening period.

Bauer and the Jets held on to their lead the rest of the way, eking out a 3-2 victory, their first of the 2026-27 season.

Stephen Curry had a telling comment on Brandin Podziemski after a preseason game

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Golden State Warriors superstar point guard Stephen Curry recently shared an honest opinion on Brandin Podziemski, who is entering his fourth year in the NBA.

The future Basketball Hall of Famer seems impressed by Podziemski’s physical improvement, but wants to see his teammate become more decisive on offense.

“Same player, same talent,” the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Curry said about Podziemski after the Warriors’ 104-101 win over the Los Angeles Clippers in a preseason game on Sunday at Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, via Luca Evans of the San Francisco Chronicle. 

Added Curry: “Just looks like, he’s in better shape. He looks like he’s a little stronger, little quicker. I know he’s very determined.”

The 38-year-old Curry is not going to be with Golden State forever, and someone will have to be the focal point of the team’s offense once he leaves the Warriors. Podziemski hasn’t really shown enough to warrant the label of becoming Curry’s successor, but he can at least help himself convince the Warriors to sign him to a huge contract extension with much better play in the coming 2026-27 NBA campaign.

The former Santa Clara Broncos star could be a free agent next summer if the Warriors don’t sign him to a new contract or pick up their team option on him.

Through three seasons with the Warriors, Podziemski has averaged 11.6 points on 45.2% shooting, 5. assists and 3.6 rebounds across 220 games.

Jim Harbaugh sets the record straight on Mike McDaniel’s job security

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

As far as Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh is concerned, offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s seat isn’t even warm enough for the latter to worry about.

The Chargers are still winless after four games, as they lost to the reigning Super Bowl champions Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, 30-23, at Lumen Field in Seattle, Wash. Despite the losses piling up and an atrocious offense, Harbaugh doesn’t see the Chargers parting ways with McDaniel.

“His job is not in jeopardy,” Harbaugh said, via Kris Rhim of ESPN. “He’s a skilled coach, and we’re going to keep growing.”

Still, it can’t be denied that Los Angeles’ offense hasn’t been right. 

Against Seattle, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert got picked off twice and sacked four times for a loss of 35 yards, as Los Angeles committed a total of four turnovers. Herbert and company produced just six points in the first half. They looked much better in the second half, but the offensive unit’s inconsistency must be maddening for the Chargers and their fans.

McDaniel was hired by the Chargers in January to be their offensive coordinator after he spent the previous four seasons as head coach of the Miami Dolphins, who fired him just weeks before.

The 0-4 Chargers now return home to prepare for a Week 5 matchup against AFC West rivals Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.

49ers’ Dre Greenlaw had to be held back after his postgame confrontation with Sean Payton

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is not the biggest fan of Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton.

Greenlaw clearly had a chip on his shoulder as his Niners took on the Broncos Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. The 29-year-old, who got cut by Denver in March, clearly had revenge on his mind during the contest.

Greenlaw made a tackle near the Broncos’ sideline early in the first quarter and had a spicy message for Payton once he got back on his feet.

The in-game exchange wasn’t enough to get the resentment out of Greenlaw’s system. Greenlaw also confronted Payton after the 49ers’ 24-14 win and had to be held back by teammate Fred Warner.

“I mean I just haven’t talked to him in months,” Greenlaw said after the game. “Even since I was on the team. It’s just a lot.”

After spending his first six seasons with the 49ers, Greenlaw signed a three-year, $35 million contract with the Broncos last March. Greenlaw did not have the season Denver hoped for after missing the first six weeks due to a quad injury.

Greenlaw also got suspended for a game last season for threatening a referee at the end of the Broncos’ Week 7 win over the New York Giants. Greenlaw once again let his emotions get the better of him on Sunday.

Report: Chiefs ‘very interested’ in signing Tyreek Hill after Tyquan Thornton injury

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The Kansas City Chiefs may turn to a familiar face to help shore up their depleted wide receiver room.

Multiple reporters confirmed Sunday that the Chiefs have been in talks with Tyreek Hill and his agent Drew Rosenhaus.

ESPN’s Nate Taylor spoke with a team source who shared that Kansas City has “remained in contact” with Hill on a potential deal before the 2026 season ends. According to The Athletic’s Michael Silver, the Chiefs “have already reached out” to Hill and Rosenhaus after wide receiver Tyquan Thornton suffered a serious ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

With Thornton now out indefinitely and Rashee Rice still dealing with a hamstring injury, the Chiefs will be down their top two wide receivers for the foreseeable future. How much of a solution Hill could be remains to be seen.

The 8-time Pro Bowl wideout is working his way back from the serious knee injury he sustained in September 2025. While Hill has looked good in his workout videos over the past few months, including his beach workout from just last week, it’s hard to imagine him looking like his All-Pro self anytime soon. Hill is expected to work his way back onto the field sometime in November.

Hill’s former Chiefs teammates have supported such a reunion, including defensive end Chris Jones, who publicly recruited Hill immediately after the Miami Dolphins released him in February.

Ben Johnson pulled a petty move to start Bears-Jets game

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Ben Johnson did not want to give the media the satisfaction of being right about who his Chicago Bears would start at quarterback on Sunday.

Reports emerged earlier this week that the Bears would start Tyson Bagent over Case Keenum in Week 4 against the New York Jets at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill. Johnson did not like that news of Bagent starting broke before he even announced it.

Out of spite, he trotted out both Keenum and Bagent for Chicago’s opening play of the game.

“Well, I got all these memos saying that Tyson [Bagent] was starting before I had ever made an announcement,” Johnson said during his postgame press conference. “So I wanted to get Case [Keenum] out there, first time. It was like a ceremonial first pitch, handing off the torch.”

The decision surprised some, considering Keenum’s admirable performance in Caleb Williams’ stead in a Week 3 win. The 38-year-old veteran went 24/32 for 247 yards and 2 touchdowns to beat the Philadelphia Eagles.

Bagent held his own Sunday against the Jets. The 26-year-old tallied 268 passing yards on a 25/34 clip to lead his team to a 23-12 victory.

The Bears’ season appeared to be in serious jeopardy when Williams went down with an injury in Week 2. But Chicago has only improved to 3-1 with Keenum then Bagent starting.

Update emerges on Chiefs’ Tyquan Thornton after his gruesome ankle injury

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton paid dearly after making a game-changing play during Sunday’s contest against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Chiefs, trailing 19-17, had 3rd-and-4 in the backfield late in the fourth quarter at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev. Patrick Mahomes went deep and hit Thornton in stride just outside the red zone. The 26-year-old threatened to take it all the way, but was taken down just a few yards shy of the end zone for a 55-yard gain.

But as Thornton stood up to celebrate, he realized that his ankle had twisted the other way. The fifth-year wideout crumpled to the ground again in severe pain as Chiefs trainers rushed toward him.

Raiders safety Treydan Stukes landed on Thornton’s ankle in what appeared to be a dangerous tackle that injured the Chiefs receiver.

Thornton was carted off the field with a dislocated ankle. He left the game with five catches for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns, helping the Chiefs stay undefeated with a 30-27 win.

Doctors were reportedly able to put Thornton’s ankle back in place, allowing him to catch the team plane back to Kansas City. According to Ian Rapoport, Thornton will have a full evaluation on Monday morning and is considered out indefinitely.

Video shows NFL referee seemingly saying ‘f–k you’ to Trey McBride

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

NFL officials were certainly feeling some kind of way during Sunday’s action.

The Arizona Cardinals played Sunday against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Video went viral of a moment during the second half in which Cardinals star tight end Trey McBride got into an argument with referee Jeff Seeman (who wears No. 45).

Seeman was shown in the video seemingly telling McBride, “F–k you,” multiple times. A backpedaling McBride then saw that the incident had been caught on camera and proceeded to point and laugh.

Here is the clip.

Seeman has been a line judge in the NFL since 2002. He is the son of the late Jerry Seeman, himself a longtime NFL referee who was the league’s Senior Director of Officiating from 1991-2001 and eventually got his No. 70 retired by the NFL.

McBride and the Cardinals, meanwhile, would go on to lose to the Giants by a final score of 36-24. Bizarrely enough though, McBride was not even the only NFL player to be victimized by a referee’s behavior during Sunday’s slate of games.

NFL referee goes off on Vikings player in bizarre moment

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

The referees in the NFL might be losing their patience. Well, at least one.

During the game on Sunday between the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, referee Adrian Hill was involved in an incident with Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson.

Hill fell to the ground after what appeared to be an unintentional collision. However, Hill wasn’t too happy and got right in Wilson’s face after being brought back to his feet.

Wilson looked to go down and try to help Hill up, but the referee got right in his face and yelled at him after the play.

Hill had to get up and make a call due to what looked to be a penalty on the play for something else, but Vikings fans sure seemed to be showering in boos, for some reason.

Adrian Hill has a lot of experience as an NFL referee. He has been in the league since 2010, and he has been a head referee since 2019.

Justin Herbert, Sam Darnold gets memes for dueling interceptions in first 20 seconds of game

by
LinkedInRedditThreadsWhatsApp

Justin Herbert and Sam Darnold started off Sunday’s game with a mid-off.

Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers faced off against Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks during Week 4 at Lumen Field in Seattle, Wash. But the two veteran quarterbacks began play with dueling miscues … both within the first 20 seconds of the game.

On the very first play from scrimmage, Herbert fired an interception into the arms of Seahawks linebacker Drake Thomas. Fortunately for the Chargers though, Darnold gave the ball right back on the very next play, getting picked off himself by linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu.

Fans had a lot of fun with that “Yakety Sax” sequence to start the game. Here were some of the funniest memes that resulted about Herbert and Darnold.

That was Herbert’s fifth interception of the season and Darnold’s third. Needless to say, meatball sub fans were certainly eating good during Sunday’s matchup between the two.

Darnold does have the edge at this point as his Seahawks entered play at 2-1 on the season (compared to 0-3 for Herbert’s Chargers). The Chargers have also been no stranger to unsightly feats in the early stages of this season.
