In the NFL, Tampa Bay pulled off something that hadn't been seen in over half a century. The Buccaneers won a game this week without their quarterback completing a single pass, the first zero-completion victory in fifty-two years. That is not a typo, and it is absolutely wild.
Shifting to the Raiders and Jets, Geno Smith was efficient and electric early, putting up thirty points on the first six drives and looking every bit like a quarterback who had command of the game. But Las Vegas rallied, and it was Ashton Jeanty who delivered the dagger, hauling in a screen pass and taking it forty-five yards to set up the go-ahead score. Jeanty barely touched the ball as a runner but still found a way to be the decisive weapon.
And in the NBA, Golden State's Yaxel Lendeborg put the league on notice Sunday night against the Clippers. Thirty-seven points from the young forward, a signature performance from a player who grew up watching the game on highlights and is now making them himself. Warriors fans have found their next reason to believe.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
