The New Orleans Saints are two days out from their two thousand twenty six regular season opener, and quarterback Spencer Rattler is the name to watch. The twenty five year old Phoenix native enters his third season wearing number two, heading straight into Detroit for a Sunday showdown against the Lions to kick off the year.
Shifting to the NFL's opening weekend, the Indianapolis Colts carry some serious momentum into Baltimore. Last season, the Shane Steichen-led offense carved up Jessie Minter's Chargers defense, and now Minter is running the whole show as the Ravens' new head coach. Indianapolis will be looking to exploit that familiarity early and often on Sunday.
And over at the US Open, Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev are battling something beyond their opponents — the clock. Both men's semi-finalists are dealing with the brutal effects of late-night finishes in New York, with bedtimes pushing past six forty five in the morning. When the city never sleeps, neither do the players trying to win a major.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
