The NFL is back, and Seattle made a statement on opening night, but not without a cost. The Seahawks edged the Patriots thirteen to ten behind a suffocating defensive performance, but quarterback Sam Darnold left the game with a hip injury, putting his availability very much in question going forward.
It wasn't just Seattle's offense that had trouble moving the ball — New England's night got significantly worse when wide receiver A.J. Brown hobbled off in the third quarter with a right ankle injury and never returned. Brown's Patriots debut was over before it really began, and the injury timeline is something that franchise will be watching closely in the days ahead.
Shifting to the diamond, Jose Altuve etched his name deeper into baseball history Wednesday night in Houston. The Astros second baseman laced a double against Philadelphia in the third inning for career hit number two thousand five hundred, becoming just the second player in Astros franchise history to reach that milestone. A quiet moment with enormous weight behind it.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
