The season opener is a game quarterback C.J. Stroud will probably want to forget.
While he had 274 passing yards and two touchdowns, he also had two fumbles, including one on the final drive that doomed the Houston Texans in their opener against the Buffalo Bills.
Stroud is already focusing on turning the page to Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
"It's part of the NFL," Stroud said. "You have to be able to learn from your mistakes and then go onto the next week and try to get a win. We have a tough Bengals team coming in here. They're really good. We have to be on our P's and Q's, try to win that game. We'll fix our issues by tonight and tomorrow, turn the page and keep moving forward. One thing that DeMeco [Ryans] said in the locker room that I agree with is, we're going to keep our chins high and our chests poked out. We did a lot of positive things, do we wish we won it? Yes. But at the end of the day it's a long season.
"You have to give us a little bit of credit there. I think I second his message with that."

Dodgers news: What impressed Dave Roberts most about Josue De Paula's MLB debut appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While the Los Angeles Dodgers will be without Shohei Ohtani for at least the next few games, Dave Roberts and company have found a way to replace his spot in the lineup in a must-watch way, calling up star prospect Josue De Paula from Double-A to DH in his place.
Discussing what he saw from De Paula's debut against the Miami Marlins, Roberts noted that he was really impressed with the 21-year-old's pitch selection, as he looked like a professional hitter despite his inexperience.
"I was very impressed. I'm not sure or certain 100%, but I don't think he swung at a ball out of the hitting zone, and so that's really impressive," Roberts said. "So to offer at ***** in the strike zone, not chase at all, earn a walk, get behind and line the ball to left field, get count leverage, hit a ball hard to the first baseman, I thought it was a fantastic night for him."

The SEC says that it's looking for an "appropriate resolution" after its presidents and chancellors met on Thursday following the drama surrounding LSU's pursuit of players who had signed NFL contracts.
The meeting was held a day after a hearing in the conference's suit against LSU and coach Lane Kiffin was continued. That continuance came after LSU filled its final two roster spots on Tuesday evening and left no ****** e to add former Ole Miss DT Zxavian Harris and ex-Rebels TE Dae'Quan Wright to the roster in 2026.
The two players had signed contracts with NFL teams but were cut during the preseason. They were eligible to return for a fifth season of college football after a Louisiana judge ruled that they should be granted an extra year following the NCAA's decision to give all college athletes in the class of 2023 and younger five years to play five seasons.
"The presidents and chancellors of the Southeastern Conference met Thursday by videoconference to discuss recent matters involving conference expectations and responsibilities," the SEC's brief statement said. "Those discussions will continue as the conference and its member universities work toward an appropriate resolution."
At one point, the Thursday meeting was slated to discuss the possibility of expelling LSU from the conference. As LSU had looked to sign both Harris and Wright, the conference made a rule that no player who had signed an NFL, NBA or WNBA contract could play for a member school.

Khadija Shaw netted a brace while Mary Fowler was also on target as The Cityzens were victorious on opening day.
It was the visitors who almost got off to a dream start. They won a corner inside the opening 30 seconds, but Marie Levasseur saw her effort cleared off the goal-line.
Océane Hurtré then almost capitalised on a back-pass, but home keeper Ayaka Yamashita did just about enough to deal with the danger.
At the other end, Shaw met Lauren Hemp's cross, but she couldn't beat Sophie Baggaley. Hemp soon produced another cross from the left which was met by Shaw, but she was again unable to take advantage,
Manchester City captain Alex Greenwood and Aoba Fujino had further efforts on the Birmingham City goal, but Baggaley was able to produce saves on both occasions. Fowler then slipped the ball to Shaw, who looked certain to score, but Neve Herron defended well and managed to perform a block.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Jeremiah Smith has said that if he's going to win the Heisman Trophy, he'll need a season like the one Alabama's DeVonta Smith had while winning in 2020.
The Ohio State junior started making his case Saturday, matching one of Smith's many accomplishments in the process.
Smith had eight receptions for 151 yards and struck a Heisman pose after his second touchdown during top-ranked Ohio State's 56-3 victory over Ball State.
He became the third receiver since 2015 from a Power Four conference to have at least two games with at least 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns in one half. DeVonta Smith had four at Alabama and Ja'Marr Chase did it three times at LSU.
"It was a good start. Came out playing fast as an offense, defense made stops," Smith said. "The first drive (a three-and-out) we didn't come out how we wanted to. Second drive we came out and executed and scored a touchdown. Felt like we had a good day on offense for sure."

It's possible, if everything goes right, there will be seven quarterbacks taken in the first round of the NFL Draft next year. That would be a record.
That's great. Here's the problem: There might be more than seven teams looking for a quarterback in the first round.
Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2026 NFL season
While not every team on this list will experience a worst-case scenario over the next few months, we identify 11 teams that could be looking to draft a quarterback in the first round next year. And it's the NFL; you can't count out a major injury or unexpected retirement or decline that forces a team into the quarterback market much sooner than they planned on.

In his second media interview in three days, Dana Brown, who was dismissed as Houston Astros general manager Aug. 24, stood up for Jeff Bagwell, Jim Crane and Joe Espada.
Speaking with A.J. Pierzynski, Erik Kratz and Scott Braun on Tuesday's episode of "Foul Territory," Brown made it clear he had no hard feelings about the people trying to keep the Astros in first place in the American League West, especially Bagwell, the senior advisor for the franchise, who works closely with Crane, the team's owner, on baseball decisions.
"Jeff Bagwell's a good baseball man," Brown said in the 16-minute interview. "I have no problems with Jeff Bagwell. I love talking with Jeff. We have some great conversations."
Bagwell, a Hall of Famer for the 15 years he manned first base for the Astros, has become a bit of a divisive figure among fans concerned about his influence in front-office decisions. After general manager James Click was let go shortly after the team won the 2022 World Series, Bagwell and Crane orchestrated many of the moves that offseason, including signing first baseman José Abreu and reuniting with reliever Rafael Montero and outfielder Michael Brantley. Neither Abreu or Montero made it to the final season of their three-year contracts and Brantley was able to play just 15 games after signing his deal.
With Brown gone, Crane has taken over baseball operations with Bagwell working with the team's three ******* istant general managers to take over Brown's duties until the next general manager is in place.

Aryna Sabalenka blocked out the noise to overcome a tricky first-round test against Camila Osorio and begin her bid for a historic US Open "three-peat".
The two-time defending champion has suffered a dip in form in recent months after a stellar start to the season in which she reached the Australian Open final and completed the 'Sunshine Double' at Indian Wells and Miami.
Sabalenka's position as world number one is now under serious threat and she risks ending the year without a Grand Slam ******* le for the first time since 2022.
However, she avoided an early slip-up as she held off a resilient Osorio to win 6-2 6-4 on her return to Arthur Ashe Stadium.
"I really feel my best emotions at this stadium so it means a lot to be back and have an opportunity for a 'three-peat'," Sabalenka said.

The University of Florida is one of seven schools on the official visit list for five-star point guard Cayden Daughtry.
Daughtry, the No. 3 overall prospect in the class of 2027, narrowed his list of 33 scholarship offers to 14 teams, including Arkansas, Florida, Florida State, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisville, Miami, Michigan, Providence, Tennessee, UConn, USC, Vanderbilt and Villanova, according to 247Sports.
His visit to Florida is set for Sept. 25-27, and there's potential for other get-togethers with Todd Golden's coaching staff, with Daughtry playing at Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale. Florida offered him June 5 and has quickly surged in his recruitment.
Daughtry will also visit Florida State from Aug. 28-30, Tennessee from Sept. 4-6, Iowa from Sept. 11-13, UConn from Sept. 19-21, Miami from Oct. 16-18 and Arkansas from Oct. 30-Nov. 1.
The 6-foot point guard's stock exploded over the summer following strong event performances at the Bass Pro Tournament of Champions — 25 points, five **** ists, four rebounds and five steals — and The Throne, where he scored 36 points. He also won gold with USA Basketball at the FIBA U17 World Cup.

The Welsh Rugby Union has issued pitch safety advice to community clubs for the new season after a record-breaking summer.
Wales recorded its hottest ever day on 24 June with temperatures soaring to 35.9C in Cardiff, while July was the driest since records began 190 years ago.
The weather has left rugby pitches across the country bone dry, with surfaces as hard as concrete.
With the obvious injury risks to players, the WRU has written to all community clubs with guidance on how to ****** s the conditions before next week's opening matches.
It also says clubs can reschedule fixtures without risking any sanction up until mid-September, while match officials can overrule decisions on safety grounds.

Seven weeks ago, Victor Wembanyama did his franchise a favor. The 22-year-old center and the Spurs agreed to a massive five-year contract extension, albeit one that will pay him about $50 million less than he might have received if he sought the largest contract allowed by the NBA.
The significance of that discount can be hard to process. After all, to a hard-working stiff, the gap between making $252 million and $303 million is a lot like the gap between taking a rocket ship to the moon and one to Mars. Most of us recognize there's a difference, but we'll never come close to experiencing it firsthand.
In the realm of NBA team-building, though, salary-cap savings of $10 million per year can turn losses into victories. Theoretically, signing Wembanyama at that lower price point could enable the Spurs to add an extra veteran once extensions for Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper kick in. It might allow them to keep De'Aaron Fox an extra year.
And if the Spurs play their cards right? Playoff trips that might otherwise have ended in the conference semifinals in 2028, 2029 or 2030 might turn into league championships, all because they had a little more flexibility to operate under the NBA's punitive luxury-tax aprons.
So it's possible to see how Wembanyama's sacrifice might pay off. In fact, they just lost in the NBA Finals to a New York Knicks team that benefited from a similar contract discount by their star player, Jalen Brunson.

"Defensively, it's learning the techniques," Smith said. "I've been with T.J. and Ty just asking questions. In college, it's different. In the NBA, you can be more physical in the NBA. That's what I learned in the Summer League. "I'm like, 'Alright this is what I was horrible at.' I'm letting guys come off screens too easily. I'm talking to T.J. and he does it and he was like, 'You can be a lot more physical fighting those.' I'm like, 'OK, that makes it easier for me at least a little bit.' It's just a lot of little things like that that I've kind of picked up and asked questions about."

Lando Norris feels he is performing better both on and off the track in Formula 1 this year compared to his ****** le-winning 2025 campaign, fresh off back-to-back wins for McLaren.

"I was driving at a high level the second half of last year. It's tough to say [if I'm driving at my highest level], but I do think it's a trickier car to drive this year in some ways," Norris said. "I think you can see that because the gaps between team-mates are often bigger this year, I would say, than it was last year. But I do believe so.
"I do believe I'm able to understand situations better, to understand the car in a better way. It's still just horrible to drive, but I'm doing a better job at just understanding this, relaying this to my team, figuring stuff out.

Arsenal have faced several enquiries about Martin Zubimendi this summer after just one season at the club, following the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes at the Emirates.
The Gunners were helped by Zubimendi on their way to winning the Premier League **** le this summer, as he was ever present in their team in league matches and other competitions. Zubimendi has been one of the top players in England since arriving and has rarely put a foot wrong.
However, his lack of minutes at the World Cup suggests he may not be as highly regarded as some believe. **** nal also went on to sign Guimaraes from Newcastle United, one of the best midfielders in England and a player who performed well for Brazil at the World Cup.
Although Zubimendi returned late from the competition, he is now set for a serious battle for playing time. This is why Real Madrid and Chelsea have considered making an approach for him this summer.
Both clubs believe the midfielder would perform well for their teams and would love to sign him. However, The Sun reports that Zubimendi is going nowhere this summer because **** nal have decided that he will not be sold.

Bengaluru: India's Saransh Jain, Manav Suthar, Auqib Nabi and Sarfaraz Khan, who are all in Sri Lanka for the ongoing Test series, are proof that selectors don't deny consistent domestic performers. India's domestic cricketers can draw inspiration from such journeys as they head into the Duleep Trophy, the curtain-raiser for the domestic season, at the BCCI Centre of Excellence from Sunday onwards.

The spotlight will be on 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The Bihar boy has already made his T20 debut after a stunning IPL 2026 season. There have been questions about whether the big-hitting batter has the patience and composure to play in the longer format. His 207 runs in eight first-class matches do not justify his skill set. At this juncture, the upcoming domestic seasons in red-ball cricket ******* ume greater significance.

"That decided the game in the end. We've conceded two goals today from set plays. We'll look at it and improve it for sure. We keep working and moving forward.
"It's constant, it's evolving all the time. Just because we haven't got any points today, it won't change what we do next week. We look forward and be excited with the season that is still ahead of us.
"We've got to find the answers, we didn't quite click and find the right solutions today.
On Marcus Rashford: "I thought he came on and looked dangerous in moments. We probably relied on him a bit too much. Marcus playing today will be better for it with a game in his system."

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Miyu Yamashita opened a five-stroke lead Friday in the CPKC Women's Open as players again fought mosquitos on the tree-lined course tucked in a bend in the North Saskatchewan River.
A stroke ahead Thursday after an opening 8-under 62, the 4-foot-11 Yamashita shot 64 in the afternoon to get to 14 under at Royal Mayfair.
"I'm really happy," Yamashita said through a translator. "With two rounds to go, I just want to focus on my game and keep playing like this."
The 25-year-old ***** anese player won the Meijer LPGA Classic in June after taking the Women's British Open and Maybank Championship last year.
"Rather than focus on the score, I'm thinking about how I can make birdies," the 2025 LPGA rookie of the year said.

Has the linebacker battle for the Indianapolis Colts taken an unexpected turn late in training camp?
For much of the offseason, the thought was that rookie CJ Allen would start, and then there was an open competition to determine who would be playing alongside him.
Unfortunately, Allen has missed a lot of time this summer, dealing with a calf and then a hamstring injury. For many players, but particularly rookies, overcoming missed time isn't easy.
Allen has been back on the field as of late, but during Thursday's second joint practice with Atlanta, it was Jaylon Carlies who took the bulk of the first-team reps, alongside of Akeem Davis-Gaither.
Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan noted that Carlies has consistently started over the last week of training camp.

MILAN (AP) — Belgium winger Diego Moreira joined AC Milan in a reported 50-million-euro ($58.5-million) move from Strasbourg, which is under increased financial scrutiny by UEFA.
The 22-year-old Moreira signed a five-year contract, Milan said in a statement late Monday.
Moreira was a member of Belgium's World Cup squad and played in one game, as a second-half substitute in a 3-2 come-from-behind win over Senegal in the round of 32.
He was a youth international for both Belgium and Portugal, then got FIFA approval in May 2025 to choose Belgium as his senior eligibility.
Moreira's exit brings Strasbourg's sales this week to about 100 million euros ($117 million).

It wasn't a good day at Great American Ball Park, but the Cincinnati Reds at least salvaged the night.
After losing the matinee in their Aug. 17 day-night doubleheader, the Reds walked off the St. Louis Cardinals with a 6-5 win in 10 innings at Great American Ball Park.
The Reds trailed 4-1 in the sixth inning and 5-4 in the ninth inning. They knotted the game in both frames with outfielder Dane Myers hitting a pinch-hit homer in the ninth to tie the game at five and force extra innings.
Reds closer Emilio Pagán worked through traffic in the 10th inning to set Cincinnati up for the possibility of a walk-off win, and Elly De La Cruz delivered with a hot shot into left field that scored Tyler Stephenson from first base.
The walk-off hit was the first of De La Cruz's career.

Koppen, who previously worked as Rangers' director of football recruitment, is now West Ham's director of player recruitment and helped identify Engels as a priority target for the London club.
The Hammers have paid Celtic an initial £22million for the Belgian, allowing the Hoops to double the £11m they invested to sign him two years ago.
Despite the significant profit, Engels' departure is a blow for Martin O'Neill ahead of Celtic's Champions League play-off against LASK.
Koppen has now explained why West Ham were so determined to land the 22-year-old, while also highlighting the experience he gained from establishing himself at a "big club" in Celtic.
