In Knoxville, Tennessee football has a new unsung hero, and he never touched the ball. Wide receiver Radarious Jackson didn't catch a single pass in the Vols' twenty-four to seventeen win over Arkansas, but coach Josh Heupel says he made the biggest play of the game, chasing down a defensive lineman on a fifty-eight yard fumble return just before halftime. That kind of hustle doesn't show up in a box score, but it absolutely shows up in the standings.
Shifting to the ice, the Philadelphia Flyers are in real trouble. Back-to-back losses, the latest a blowout at the hands of the Boston Bruins at TD Garden, and this team looks disconnected in ways that go beyond just a rough start. Head coach Rick Tocchet has to find answers fast because right now there is simply no bottom in sight for Philadelphia.
And out in Las Vegas, the Raiders are elevating running back Roman Hemby from the practice squad ahead of their Week five matchup with New England. With Ashton Jeanty questionable due to an ankle and foot injury, Hemby's role could expand significantly, making him a legitimate fantasy consideration heading into the weekend.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
