The Buffalo Bills survived a Monday night thriller at SoFi Stadium, edging the Los Angeles Rams thirty-seven to thirty-four in overtime, but the bigger story out of LA is the Rams themselves. Greg Rousseau blocked what would have been a game-winning field goal, and the missed kicks are masking a deeper truth — this roster simply isn't performing at the level the front office built it to reach.
Shifting to Cincinnati, the Bengals are dealing with a significant blow at tight end. Tanner Hudson tore his pectoral during the Week five win over Miami and will miss the remainder of the season. He hauled in a two-yard touchdown in that game, but his absence thins out a position group that Joe Burrow depends on in critical moments.
And away from the gridiron, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar is sitting out Tuesday's game against Dallas for the best possible reason — he's back in Denver awaiting the birth of his twins. The two-time Norris Trophy winner is about to become a two-time dad, and honestly, some things are bigger than hockey.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
