The Buffalo Bills drew first blood Thursday night, Josh Allen punching it in from a yard out to put Buffalo up seven-nothing over Detroit. Jameson Williams has been a non-factor early for the Lions, leaving Detroit's offense searching for answers against a Bills defense that looks locked in and physical.
Shifting to college football, LSU got a significant boost heading into Saturday's showdown at Ole Miss. Quarterback Sam Leavitt has been upgraded from doubtful to questionable for that primetime rivalry game in Oxford. If Leavitt suits up, it changes everything for the Tigers — his absence would have been a massive blow to their chances on the road.
And in Philadelphia, the Phillies made a waiver wire move with some real upside. Right-hander José Urquidy was claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox, and the Phillies wasted no time — he could take the mound as early as Friday night against the New York Mets. Philadelphia is in the thick of the playoff race and clearly looking for any edge they can get in the rotation.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
