Kimi Antonelli is on the doorstep of a championship. The Mercedes phenom took the checkered flag at the United States Grand Prix for his ninth win of the season, and he now needs just two more points to clinch the title. Charles Leclerc gave Ferrari everything they had, crossing in second, though team principal Fred Vasseur admitted two critical miscues cost the Scuderia a shot at a double podium finish.
Shifting to the NFL, Baltimore is holding its breath over Lamar Jackson. Ravens defensive coordinator Jesse Minter expressed confidence Monday that his quarterback could suit up this Sunday against Buffalo after missing time with an injury. A healthy Jackson against the Bills is a massive swing in the AFC playoff picture, and both fanbases know exactly what's at stake.
Meanwhile in Las Vegas, the Raiders are riding a four-game skid with no relief in sight at quarterback. Head coach Klint Kubiak made it official Monday, confirming Kirk Cousins stays under center despite the losing streak. It is a vote of confidence that will face serious scrutiny if the losses keep piling up in what is already a difficult season out west.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
