Lamar Jackson is trending toward Sunday. A league source told ESPN the Ravens quarterback has a realistic chance to suit up against Cleveland in Week six, and if that happens, the Browns are in serious trouble. Baltimore's offense is a different animal when Lamar is under center, and this one just got a whole lot more interesting.
Shifting to baseball, the playoff picture is telling a story that goes way beyond wins and losses. The Dodgers are carrying the number one payroll in the sport, while the other three remaining teams barely combine to match Los Angeles dollar for dollar. Jeff Passan breaks down what this final four reveals about where MLB's labor battle is headed and what it means for the game's long-term future.
And in the NFC, Micah Parsons is pointing fingers after the Cowboys and Commanders played to a tie Sunday. The Dallas linebacker put the blame squarely on Jayden Daniels, suggesting the rookie's performance put Dan Quinn's job security in jeopardy. Strong words from Parsons, and you can bet that soundbite is making the rounds in Washington's locker room right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
