You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Nikola Jokic is simply operating on a different planet. The three-time MVP notched his one hundred ninety-ninth career triple-double Sunday, going for thirty-five points, fifteen rebounds, and ten assists as Denver erased a twenty-three point deficit against New Orleans and finished it off in overtime. That is not a comeback, that is a statement.
Speaking of statements, the NFL made history in Paris today as the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints squared off in the first ever NFL regular-season game played on French soil. Kickoff in the City of Light, American football going global, and the league continuing to push its international footprint in a major way heading into the back half of the season.
And in college football, Texas survived what could have been a catastrophic Saturday night. The number seventeen Longhorns edged Ole Miss thirty-four to twenty-seven in Austin, with Arch Manning steering the ship through serious late-game pressure. After losses to Oklahoma and Florida, another stumble would have buried their playoff hopes, but they found a way to hold on and keep the dream alive.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
