The Los Angeles Chargers are in a historically bad place. Eight games into the NFL season and still searching for their first win, Sunday's loss to Houston may have been their ugliest effort yet. They found the end zone twice, their best scoring output in weeks, and still couldn't get it done. This franchise is in freefall.
Staying in the NFL, Aaron Glenn made it clear the Jets aren't making any moves before the trade deadline, and with New York sitting at two and seven on a four-game skid, that decision is raising eyebrows across the league. Sixteen straight years without a playoff appearance is creeping closer to becoming reality, and standing pat feels less like strategy and more like surrender.
Shifting to the hardwood, Kansas is dealing with a serious blow before conference play even begins. Guard Melvin Council Junior broke his right foot in practice Monday and is headed for surgery within days. Head coach Bill Self says they're hopeful he returns around the start of Big Twelve play, but the Jayhawks will be shorthanded during a stretch that matters plenty.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
