Kilmarnock have conceded 14 goals in five Scottish Premiership games this season; the only sides in the 21st century to concede more at this stage of a top-flight campaign are Motherwell in 2005-06 (15), Gretna in 2007-08 (15), and Dundee United in 2022-23 (18).
Kilmarnock have failed to score in their past three league games, last going longer without a goal in the Scottish Premiership in February 2021 (five in a row).
Hibernian have lost five successive home games in the top flight for the first time since August 2010. The last side to lose six consecutive Scottish Premiership home matches were Dundee from February to May 2019.
Kilmarnock have only won one of their past 17 Scottish Premiership meetings with Hibernian (D6 L10), a 1-0 triumph in November 2022 under Derek McInnes.
Hibernian are unbeaten in 13 Scottish Premiership home games against Kilmarnock since a 1-0 defeat in May 2014.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be walking directly into one of Joe Burrow's strengths when they face the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 1.
Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles has long relied on pressure, with Tampa Bay blitzing on 37.7% of its defensive snaps during his tenure, the third-highest rate in the NFL, via Sports Illustrated's Joe Goodberry.
That method could be dangerous against Burrow.
"Joe Burrow dices up the blitz. He always has, but last season, Burrow completed 71.4% of his passes against the blitz at 8.3 yards per attempt and had a passer rating of 122.6 passer rating," Goodberry wrote.
Six of his eight touchdowns against extra rushers came on throws released in under 2.5 seconds.

The San Francisco 49ers already are dealing with injuries along their defensive front. 49ers defensive tackle Alfred Collins was expected to play a large role in his second season, but is now out of the season after suffering a torn patellar tendon just days before San Francisco's season opener against the Los Angeles Rams on Sept. 10 in Australia.
As a rookie in 2025, Collins posted 17 tackles, a sack and forced a pair of fumbles. Collins is former second-round pick out of Texas.
Collins' injury puts more pressure on former Georgia Bulldogs first-round pick Mykel Williams to return to action. Williams suffered a torn ACL last season and is on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list to start the season. Williams will miss the 49ers first four games of the season.
Williams recorded 20 tackles and one sack in his rookie season (2025) with the 49ers. San Francisco needs him and the defensive front as a whole to be healthy. Coach Kyle Shanahan is hoping to get more production out of Williams in Year 2.
The 49ers will have to find a delicate balance of limiting Williams' snaps to preserve his health while still giving him enough playing time to develop into a defensive force. Williams can return for the 49ers Week 5 game against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

If there were any doubts about Nick Bosa suiting up in Australia for the San Francisco 49ers, defensive coordinator Raheem Morris put those to rest in his most recent press conference.
Morris told the media, "He's going [out there]. He'll be there. We're not hiding that."
We're a week removed from Bosa saying he had a great day after opening up about his recovery. It sounds like Bosa and the 49ers have seen everything they've needed to during this most recent set of practices.
Bosa was in full pads for Tuesday's session:
The 49ers entered this season with their defense centered on Nick Bosa. There was already immense pressure on his shoulders. After Sam Okuayinonu broke his foot and landed on the Injured Reserve, Raheem Morris may rely on his star edge rusher even more.

1. FC Heidenheim secured their third victory of the 2026/27 2. Bundesliga campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Greuther Fürth on Sunday.
Budu Zivzivadze's first-half header was enough to separate the two sides, with Frank Schmidt's side showing impressive defensive resilience to preserve their lead despite Fürth controlling large periods of the contest.
The result sees Heidenheim move into the top three after four matches, while Fürth suffer their second defeat of the season.
The hosts started brightly and almost opened the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes.
Felix Klaus found ***** e inside the Heidenheim penalty area before getting a shot away, but his effort was unable to beat goalkeeper Thomas Dähne.

Former Bayern Munich great Bastian Schweinsteiger gave the defending champions a kind second round task in the German Cup when he drew them to host second division Magdeburg on Saturday.
It could have been worse for Bayern because all 18 top flight teams had won their first round games for the first time since 2008 to be in the draw pot of the 32 teams.
But while Bayern were spared a Bundesliga opponent, there will be four duels between top flight teams: Borussia Dortmund v Werder Bremen, SV Hamburg v Eintracht Frankfurt, Cologne v Union Berlin and Paderborn v 2025 winners and last season's runners-up VfB Stuttgart.
The only remaining fourth-division team, Jeddeloh II, play second tier Hertha Berlin.
The second-round matches are played October 27 and 28.

Manchester City's lease at the Etihad Stadium was placed under review last month amid a major expansion of the club's east Manchester campus, it has emerged.
City has a long-term lease at the ground with Manchester City Council and finished expanding its north stand earlier this year, which increased the stadium capacity to more than 60,000 people.
It has been building a new £300m entertainment zone known as Medlock Square which includes a Radisson Blu Hotel and a zip-line, with plans for a new 600-person capacity entertainment venue which the council granted planning permission in June.
The lease review was sparked as a result of changes taking place around the Etihad Campus, the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) understands.
Council papers describing a decision about a "variation of leases with Manchester City Football Club" have been made public on the town hall's website but specifics of the finances have been kept hidden from view.

Aberdeen manager Stephen Robinson is not close to bringing in any new signings but says the imminent closure of the English transfer window could create opportunities.
Transfers depend on whether money is available and if targets can improve the squad without blocking "younger players' pathway". The Scottish window closes on Thursday.
And Robinson said: "We've brought in a lot of players. Ten free transfers. Three signings we've paid a little bit of money for. There's been a lot of change.
"If there's a chance to improve the squad, then definitely we're still looking.
"I'm not close to anyone coming in at the moment. I don't know if that it'll be it. The English window closes tonight, so things can change, opportunities arise that perhaps we didn't see coming and we'll keep an open mind if there's money available."

SV Werder Bremen have announced the signing of Youri Regeer who joins on a one-year loan from Ajax Amsterdam.
The Bundesliga club from the north of Germany have also secured an option to buy the 23-year-old for €5million next summer.
Regeer can play both in central midfield and as a right-back, adding necessary cover after the injury sustained by Jens Stage.
Arthur from Bayer Leverkusen is also expected to join Bremen, which will offer more competition at right-back.
Regeer has already made eight competitive appearances for Ajax this season – starting all eight from the first whistle.

The Denver Broncos finalized their 53-man roster at the 2 pm MT deadline yesterday. There were a few surprises, but that is always the case with these things. Next, the Broncos are filling out their 16-man practice squad.
The practice squad rules are the same as last year. They can hold up to 16 players. 10 of those players must have two years or fewer of NFL experience. The remaining six can be NFL veterans who do not meet the qualifications under the old rules. So, we could see a few veterans signed back to the practice squad, and we already have reports of a few expected to sign back with the Broncos.
As for waiver claims, the order follows the NFL Draft. The Broncos had the 30th overall pick, so they will be 30th in the waiver order. We'll see whether they decide to put any claims on players. If players go unclaimed, they become free agents and are eligible to sign on to a practice squad.
Here are the FanDuel Sportsbook odds for the Broncos to win the Super Bowl, win the AFC Championship, make the playoffs, and win the AFC West
Super Bowl odds: +2000

Joe Root has added another major record to his remarkable Test career, surpassing Ricky Ponting to become the highest run-scorer in Test history on home soil.

The England captain reached the milestone during the second Test against Pakistan at Lord's in London. Root came to the crease on Day 2 and made 24 before Pakistan pacer Mohammad Ali dismissed him lbw.

Although Root was unable to turn the start into a substantial innings, those 24 runs were enough to take him past Ponting's long-standing mark.

Root now has 7,594 Test runs in England, moving ahead of Ponting's 7,578 runs accumulated in Australia. India's Sachin Tendulkar occupies third place on the list, having scored 7,216 Test runs in India.
Root's latest achievement adds another landmark to a career that has already seen him climb to the top of several major Test batting charts.

The England star has reached his 7,594 home runs in 89 Tests and 156 innings, averaging 53.85. His record includes 24 centuries and 35 fifties, with a highest score of 254.

Ponting finished his home career with 7,578 runs from 92 Tests and 154 innings at an average of 56.97. The former Australia captain registered 23 hundreds and 38 fifties, with a best of 257.

Tendulkar is next on the list with 7,216 runs from 94 Tests and 153 innings in India, while Mahela Jayawardene and Jacques Kallis complete the top five.

CHICAGO – After news of Shohei Ohtani's setback in his pitching rehab program reached Wrigley Field, it took all of two innings for Chicago Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong to hit two more home runs – his 34th and 35th of the season.
A deafening chorus of chants rained down after the second homer, nearly 40,000 voices strong: "M-V-P! M-V-P!"
Not to be outshined in his own drive for postseason hardware, Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart responded in the next half-inning with a loud drive over the left-field wall for his 30th home run and RBIs 103 and 104.
It made him the 10th rookie since the Rookie of the Year award was established in 1947 to hit at least 30 home runs with 100 RBIs. The nine others all won the award.
And it's still August.

The Bundesliga is back!
And Bayern Munich is as Bayern Munich as ever. Picking up right where they left off last season, the Bavarians got rolling in a 5-1 demolition of VfB Stuttgart — one of the league's top contenders and another major supplier of German men's national team talent.
The visiting Swabians held Bayern in check for a good while, and even knotted it up after the break to keep the drama going. But Bayern responded swiftly to the leveler and poured it on from there. By the hour mark, it was 3-1 and the German champions were in cruise control, almost toying with their prey.
Just how Bayern drew it up.
"Stuttgart is a good team, they have good players and a strong attack," Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer said after the match in comments captured via iMiaSanMia. "But from the start, we were determined to give everything to have a perfect start to the season. I think we showed that today."

WEST LIBERTY, W.VA. — A defensive stand at midfield in the final minute helped the Walsh University football team hold off West Liberty 30-27 in the season opener on Aug. 27.
Walsh built 30-13 lead before West Liberty scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The Hilltoppers drove 20 yards to the 50 on their final drive, but four straight incompletions closed out the win for the Cavaliers.
Jake Gill ran for two touchdowns and caught a TD pass from Brendan Zurbrugg for Walsh. Brady Gooding also had a 62-yard touchdown completion from Hayden Wickard.
Wickhard finished 12-of-18 for 228 yards. Zurbrugg was 6-of-9 for 46 yards.
Gooding had two receptions for 110 yards. Gill led the Cavs in rushing with 83 yards.

LIV Golf has informed employees their jobs will end next week as the league begins life without Saudi funding, downsizing operations as it pursues an agreement with a lead investor to reshape the league for next year.
It was not clear how many or what percentage of employees are being laid off. LIV ended its fifth season last week outside Indianapolis, one week earlier than expected.
The staff reduction was not a surprise. LIV Golf learned in April the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia would end financial backing after this season. LIV in July filed a notice under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act that indicated layoffs were likely.
There also was hope that several employees could be hired back depending on LIV securing its agreement with the lead investor and how the new league — LIV 2.0 — might look.
"The funding commitment announced by PIF earlier this year will reach its conclusion. As a result, we are scaling back operations as we transition to the next chapter of LIV Golf and work toward making LIV 2.0 a reality," LIV said in a statement Wednesday.

Los Angeles Rams star Myles Garrett brought a new level of hype and enthusiasm to the already sky-high expectations for the team this season, but clouds may be gathering.
Garrett has participated in full practice "just twice after experiencing what the Rams initially described as knee 'soreness,'" reports Michael Duarte of the California Post.

Nearly three weeks ago, the 30-year-old Garrett told reporters that "I feel good. I'm allowed to get sore. I'm a little old."
The problem, Duarte explains, is that both Garrett and star wide receiver Puka Nacua were expected to return to practice this week.

When Deshaun Watson booed the boos that rained down from fans on Saturday, the Cleveland Browns quarterback questioned not only his fan base's actions but also their intentions.
"I think the whole world knows it has nothing to do with the performance," Watson told reporters after the 31-7 loss.
The line left plenty to unpack about the history between quarterback and fan base. It also seemed to gain further relevance Monday when the Browns named Watson their starting quarterback for their season opener. Because while Watson (accurately or not) believed fans' boos had "nothing to do with the performance," Cleveland's decision to name Watson its Week 1 starter has plenty to do with it. If the Browns' decision was about fan popularity or podium performance or medium- to long-term upside, 2025 fifth-round pick Shedeur Sanders would have received the nod Monday.

PHOENIX – The Cincinnati Reds continue to get their money's worth on one of the last free agents they signed during the offseason.
Outfielder JJ Bleday, who was signed after being released over the winter by the Athletics, earned a spot in the Reds history books Saturday (Aug. 22) against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Phoenix, when he became the eighth Red to hit for the cycle and first since Elly De La Cruz did it in his 15th big-league game in 2023.
Bleday, who doubled, tripled and singled, in order, in his first three at-bats, led off the sixth inning with a first-pitch, line-drive over the right-field wall against former Red Zack Littell to finish his first career cycle.
Bleday, who won the National League Player of the Month award for May in his first full month in a Reds uniform, recorded the Reds' first cycle on the road since Heinie Groh in 1915 in the second game of a doubleheader at Chicago's Wrigley Field.
De La Cruz also took a cycle bid into the late innings Saturday against the Diamondbacks, hitting a double, single and home run in three of his first four at-bats.

Nebraska offensive lineman Justin Evans earned another preseason accolade on Thursday. The senior was named a second-team preseason All-America selection by The Athletic.
This marks the second honor for Evans, as he was on the Rimington Trophy Watch List earlier this month. The 6-2, 315-pound lineman is one of five Big Ten offensive linemen and one of two Big Ten centers to be selected as a preseason All-America.
Oregon's Iapani Laloulu was named first-team, starting 30 games in his career, including every game last season. He allowed only one sack and 11 pressures across the Ducks' 15 games last season.
Evans returns for his final season at Nebraska, looking to continue his streak of consecutive games played. The East Orange, N.J., native has made 38 straight appearances, including 31 starts. He's been a focal point in the Huskers' pipeline and is now a part of an experienced offensive line that formed this past offseason. Evans is one of two returning starters.
Last season, Evans started all 13 games at center. His play helped Emmett Johnson earn first-team All-America honors. Johnson averaged just under 121 yards per game on the ground last season. Nebraska averaged just under 146 rushing yards per game.

The Houston Texans have a need at wide receiver and have reportedly made calls to find one.
According to Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk 790, the Texans have made "exploratory trade calls" for a wide receiver.
Wilson adds that the Baltimore Ravens' Rashod Bateman and New England Patriots' Kayshon Boutte could be among Houston's targets.
"The Texans have made exploratory trade calls, per league sources," Wilson wrote.

An Alabama jury determined on Thursday, August 20 that former Alabama men's basketball player Kai Spears was defamed by The New York Times for an article that inaccurately linked him to the scene of a fatal shooting. As part of the ruling, which came after five hours of deliberation and two weeks of testimony in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Spears was awarded $9.25 million in damages. In March 2023, the newspaper reported that Spears, a walk-on that season for the top-ranked Crimson Tide, was in the passenger seat of former Alabama star and current Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller's car during the deadly shooting of Jamea Harris in Tuscaloosa. It was later revealed that the passenger in the car was a team manager, not Spears.

Jets quarterback Geno Smith will make his first start of the 2026 preseason Friday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Smith missed the Jets' preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a minor ankle injury.
Aaron Glenn gave his healthy starters a series in that first exhibition game and indicated that the starters would also see action in Pittsburgh. It wasn't clear Smith would be among those suiting up due to the ankle injury. It wouldn't make sense to put the quarterback on the field if he was anything less than 100 percent. The team still has a long time to go before its first regular season game. While these reps can be helpful, there is still another preseason game in a week where Geno could see time.
But since he is ready, this is a chance to work with his receivers to try and get their timing down and build chemistry.

The new season promises to be one of both little steps and giant steps for David Brooks.
The 29-year-old midfielder will come up against childhood hero Cristiano Ronaldo with Wales in the Nations League before making his European debut with Bournemouth in the Europa League.
At the same time, and more importantly, Brooks and wife Flora are getting ready for their daughter Lottie's first steps.
"She's crawling now and standing up. I'm getting my steps in when I get home," Brooks said.

Two goals, impressive numbers, and an unforgettable afternoon at Arena MRV. Tomás Cuello was one of the standout performers in Galo's 3-0 win over Grêmio and, last Sunday, lived one of those days that help define a career.
The goals took the Argentine to six this season, matching his 2025 total. With another six ***** ists, Cuello now has 12 direct goal contributions in 2026. For Atlético, he now has 78 matches, 64 as a starter, 12 goals, and 13 ***** ists — 25 direct goal contributions since joining the club.
But Sunday afternoon cannot be explained by numbers alone. It is the result of a journey that began long before Cuello put on the Galo shirt.
To understand the player who now decides matches and receives the love of the Massa at Arena MRV, you have to go back a few years. Back to Tucumán, through his first experience in Brazilian football, and into a story that says a lot about the Argentine's personality.
During the pandemic, while still playing for Red Bull Bragantino, Cuello had to leave Brazil and return to Argentina. When football resumed, he got the news that he had to return to the club. There were no flights available.
