Micah Parsons still has no timetable for his return, and the Cowboys are getting nothing in the way of clarity. The star pass rusher refused to pinpoint a day he'd be back in the lineup, leaving Dallas to navigate a brutal stretch of the season without their defensive cornerstone. Every week without him is a week the defense bleeds.
Across the Atlantic, Liverpool got a painful reminder that Istanbul giveth and Istanbul taketh away. Fenerbahce handed the Reds a defeat built on what manager Andoni Iraola called cheap and messy goals, and former Liverpool hero Dirk Kuyt was right there celebrating what he called a miracle on the same ground where his old club once made history. That one stings differently.
Meanwhile, the Bills defense put together a performance Sunday that head coach Joe Brady is calling the new standard. Brady made clear it wasn't about the sack totals or the takeaways, it was about the style of play, the discipline and the intent. He wants that carried into every week remaining on the schedule, and Buffalo looks like a team that believes him.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
