In Green Bay, Josh Jacobs is pushing back on the noise. After his first-half touchdown celebration raised eyebrows for all the wrong reasons, Jacobs clarified it was a tribute to a gospel song, not a reference to his May arrest.

Shifting to Atlanta, the Braves are making smart money moves this offseason. The organization is exercising options on Ronald Acuna Junior and Ozzie Albies to the tune of twenty-four million dollars, keeping their core locked in for two thousand twenty seven. With Acuna coming off injury and the roster still needing work elsewhere, holding onto that nucleus is the clearest decision they've made all winter.
And over in Detroit, the Red Wings answered the moment. Hours after the franchise suspended former captain Dylan Larkin without pay, Moritz Seider and company went out and beat Chicago four to one. Seider said it meant a little more, and you could feel that in every shift. That locker room has something to prove right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
