Taylor Swift appeared to tell ESPN cameras to stop showing her during the Kansas City Chiefs' season opener after husband Travis Kelce made a huge play against the Denver Broncos.
Chiefs cruise past the Broncos 31-10 on Monday Night Football.
Swift was back at Arrowhead to support Kelce in what was her first official NFL game since marrying the Chiefs star. She watched from a VIP suite alongside her parents and the Kelce family and was also captured with Tom Cruise.
The singer has become a regular feature of NFL broadcasts since beginning her relationship with Kelce, with cameras frequently cutting to her during Chiefs games. This time, however, a viral moment suggested she may have wanted the attention elsewhere.

NEW YORK — This time, Gunnar Henderson came through in the clutch.
The Baltimore Orioles' star shortstop hasn't often been the source of big hits in key spots this season, a down year in several regards. Henderson, who still has yet to collect a walk-off hit in his career, entered Monday's game with a .674 OPS in close-and-late situations
That moment will have to wait, but Henderson enjoyed the next best thing Monday with a go-ahead home run in the eighth to help Baltimore beat the New York Mets, 2-1. With the score tied and the Orioles looking for a big hit all night, Henderson took right-hander Dedniel Núñez deep for his 23rd home run of the season and his first since Aug. 30.
Baltimore (73-78) won the series opener to give Pete Alonso a happy homecoming in his first game back at Citi Field since the Orioles signed him away from the Mets in free agency. The home team treated Alonso, who spent seven seasons in Queens, to a scoreboard tribute video and multiple standing ovations. Entering the game sitting on 299 career home runs, he went 0 for 3 with a walk.
With the win, the Orioles pulled back to within three games of the third American League wild-card spot. Their playoff odds have dwindled to the single digits, but Baltimore is not yet eliminated with 11 games left to go.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Tristan Peters fouled off 12 pitches in an 18-pitch at-bat that keyed Chicago's six-run outburst in the sixth inning and the White Sox beat the Cleveland Guardians 7-3 on Monday night to stay atop the AL Central.
Kyle Teel hit a two-run double and Miguel Vargas connected for a two-run homer following Peters' lengthy plate appearance — the longest in MLB this season, and tied for the third longest since 2000.
The White Sox, who lost 102 games and finished last in 2025, won the opener of the showdown series to push their lead over the Guardians to 1 1/2 games. Chicago has led the division since July 4.
Sean Burke (9-7) didn't allow an earned run in five innings and Chicago's bullpen kept the Guardians in check as the White Sox improved to 7-4 against Cleveland to clinch the season series and tiebreaker.
The Guardians altered their rotation so Gavin Williams (13-8) could start the opener, and the right-hander gave them five solid innings. They needed six.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry was joking about sending Lane Kiffin into Oxford on an F-16. But that joke came up in the first place because Saturday night isn't shaping up to be a warm welcome. No. 7 LSU has opened the 2026 season in style, crushing Clemson 51-10 before rolling past Louisiana Tech 45-14. But the real test starts now, and it's one where emotions run high.
LSU's SEC opener comes at Ole Miss, where Lane Kiffin will make his first return to Oxford since leaving the Rebels for Baton Rouge. Jeff Landry, speaking with ESPN, understands what awaits.
"I'm thinking about having to send him in on an F-16 and maybe the team on a C-130," he said. "Security is going to be really tight. You know, we might need the National Guard out there to protect our team. I think it's going to be an interesting weekend."
That exaggeration may be a joke, but the governor also revealed that his office has already been in contact with Mississippi officials about security for the LSU contingent.
Lane Kiffin's return to Oxford is going to be electric. Subscribe for more interesting stories.

For a quick reminder of what makes a team with the oldest lineup in the majors the continued favorite to win a third straight World Series – even with one unicorn tied behind its back – take a long, close look at this week's series at Great American Ball Park.
Or for mercy's sake, if you're a Cincinnati Reds fan, just read about it here.
The Los Angeles Dodgers send as many Cy Young Awards to the mound for starts against the Reds this week as there are games in the series. And that doesn't even count who's listed for Thursday's series finale (somebody they call TBA).
Two of the four CYAs belong to left-hander Tarik Skubal, the former Detroit Tigers ace the Dodgers acquired at the trade deadline, who started this week's opener.
For the second time in a week Skubal rolled the Reds, this time pitching seven scoreless innings in a 4-1 win that clinched the Dodgers' 14th consecutive playoff berth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs cornerback Mansoor Delane was questionable to return to Kansas City's season opener against the Broncos Monday night after the sixth overall pick in the NFL draft hurt his shoulder in the first quarter Monday night.
Delane intercepted Broncos quarterback Bo Nix the first time he was thrown at on the opening series of the game. He stumbled after making the catch and went to the ground untouched, and Delane was not on the field for the Broncos' ensuing series.
Delane missed the majority of the offseason and the first preseason game because of an injured shoulder.
Chiefs linebacker Cooper McDonald also left in the first quarter with a knee injury. His return was questionable.

CINCINNATI (AP) — Zac Taylor was still pleased on Monday after Cincinnati's 33-27 victory over Tampa Bay.
Yet for as well as the Bengals played in the opener, the eighth-year coach pointed out there was still plenty of room for improvement.
"The objective isn't to be your best team Week 1, it's to be your best team at the end of the season. So I just want to see that process continue to improve for us as we get ready for Houston," he said.
Taylor and the Bengals are also aware that fast starts aren't always an indicator of success, and that things can come undone very quickly. Cincinnati won its first two games last season, but then dropped eight of nine when Joe Burrow suffered a turf toe injury in Week 2.
The defense, which made four huge additions during the offseason, forced four turnovers, generated a 38.9% pressure rate and sacked the Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield four times despite having a blitz rate of 11.1%, tied for second lowest in Week 1.

The Denver Broncos broke out their alternate white helmet for an all-white look in a Monday Night Football clash with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 14.
The Broncos are rocking the white helmet with white jerseys, white pants and white socks against their division rival in Week 1. Denver wore that same uniform in a 20-13 win over the Chiefs last Christmas, so it's not surprising to see the team bring it back for their 2026 season opener.
The white-out unhttps://x.com/latronite/st... has received mixed reviews from fans and pundits. Here's a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to the Broncos' uniform on Monday:
Denver announced its full uniform schedule for the 2026 regular season in August. The Broncos will wear white jerseys nine times, orange jerseys four times, alternate navy twice and throwback blue twice this fall.
Next week, Denver will wear orange jerseys at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.

Eagles news: What Donovan McNabb wished Sean Mannion called more for Jalen Hurts appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Donovan McNabb believes there is room for improvement regarding Sean Mannion's play-calling for Jalen Hurts in the Philadelphia Eagles' 24-22 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon.

Matt LaFleur spent his entire offseason promising Green Bay Packers would finally learn how to finish games. Sunday in Minneapolis put that promise to the test immediately. The Packers built a healthy second-half lead, the same type of cushion that slipped away repeatedly last season, and it vanished again. What happened next, both on the field and in the press conference that followed, left fans furious.
Green Bay looked in control for most of Sunday's opener at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Packers led 22-10 in the third quarter behind Jordan Love, who threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns. Then everything unraveled. Minnesota Vikings scored 29 unanswered points in the second half, turning a comfortable lead into a 39-22 defeat.
The turning point came in the fourth quarter. With Green Bay up 25-17 after a penalty wiped a Vikings field goal off the board, LaFleur chose to go for it on fourth-and-1 instead of taking the points. Love was stopped on a quarterback sneak, and Minnesota took over on downs. The Vikings never let go from there.

Love was sacked four times after halftime, lost a fumble and threw a tipped interception during the fourth-quarter collapse. Twelve Packers penalties for 98 yards, several on Minnesota's go-ahead drive, compounded the damage.

Former Indiana State Sycamore Johnathan Edwards was waived Monday by the Indianapolis Colts.
The move followed the Colts' 41-23 loss at home to Baltimore in Sunday's season opener. Edwards didn't play against the Ravens, and was among six Colts players declared inactive for Week 1. Indianapolis promoted Kenneth Harris from the practice squad prior to the game, with Harris then occupying Edwards' special teams roles.
The 6-foot-1, 201-pound Edwards was originally signed by the Colts as an undrafted free agent May 9, 2025.
As a rookie, Edwards played in 14 games (with five starts) and registered 24 tackles (18 solo), three passes defensed and two special teams stops.
Collegiately, Edwards appeared in 45 career games at Tulane (2024) and Indiana State (2021-23) and recorded 124 tackles (86 solo), 1.5 tackles for loss, 22 passes defensed and one forced fumble.

The new era for Monomoy field hockey looks a lot like the previous one.
Monomoy (1-1) beat St. John Paul II (0-2), 6-0, on Monday under a new coaching staff.
It was the first Monomoy win for coaches Laura and Brynn Morris, who took over this season for Kyle Cappallo, who left this offseason.
On Monday's home opener win, Mia Zimmerman scored three goals. Sage Harrison scored one goal. Kate Huse had one goal and one ****** ist. Rebecca Brown scored her first varsity goal. Emery Cappallo had three ****** ists.
Goalie Maddy Swett had two saves for a shutout and is 40 saves away from 300.

The Kansas City Chiefs have released their list of inactive players for the season opener of "Monday Night Football" against the Denver Broncos.
The Chiefs will play without safety Chamarri Conner (knee), offensive tackles Josh Simmons (back) and Diego Pounds, defensive tackle Bryson Eason, tight end Jared Wiley and defensive end Jack Pyburn. Rookie Garrett Nussmeier has been designated as Kansas City's emergency quarterback — meaning he is only eligible to enter the game should both starter Patrick Mahomes and backup Justin Fields leave with injuries.
This appears to be the first time Kansas City has named an emergency quarterback since the rule was created in 2023.
Kansas City had already ruled Conner and Simmons out on the final injury report. Defensive tackle Chris Jones was held out of the team's final practice with a calf issue, but he was not given an injury game status. As expected, Jones is active for the contest.
On Monday, Kansas City elevated practice squad defensive tackle Marcus Harris and fullback Ben VanSumeren to the active roster. As elevated players, they will automatically be returned to the team's practice squad after the game. Both are active for the contest.

The Eagles left their season opener with a victory, but the offensive line's uneven performance has now been followed by a significant personnel change. Philadelphia placed Landon ****** erson on injured reserve after the veteran left guard played through multiple ailments against Washington. Drew Kendall and Willie Lampkin are the leading candidates to replace him, although the Eagles could consider changing more than one position.
Here are four takeaways from the move.
Dickerson rarely looked comfortable against the Commanders. He played all 55 offensive snaps but surrendered three pressures, including a quarterback hit, and was penalized for holding. Those problems were part of a difficult afternoon for Philadelphia's interior protection. Washington repeatedly generated pressure through the middle and finished with three sacks.
Dickerson's performance should be viewed in the context of the physical issues he was trying to manage. He remained on the field for every offensive play, but he did not resemble the powerful and dependable blocker the Eagles have come to expect.
Kendall appears to be one of the most logical candidates to enter the starting lineup. His ability to play both center and guard gives Philadelphia flexibility, especially if the coaching staff wants to limit changes at once. The Eagles could place Kendall directly at left guard and leave Cam Jurgens at center and Tyler Steen at right guard. That would preserve continuity at four of the five starting positions.

Recent trade acquisition Jaylen Brown is preparing for the 2026-27 NBA season, his first with the Philadelphia 76ers. Ahead of training camp, the former Boston Celtics forward was seen working out with famous shooting instructor Chris "Lethal Shooter" Matthews. Before Matthews became a famous coach, he played for Washington State and St. Bonaventure and also spent time in the NBA G-League.
In a video posted to social media, Brown was knocking down consecutive long-range attempts, giving Philadelphia fans something to cheer about prior to the team's season opener in October. Brown, who led the league in two-pointers attempted last season, is a career 35.8% shooter from beyond the arc. Last season, Brown shot slightly below that figure, converting on 34.7% of 3-point attempts.
Following a top-six finish in MVP voting a season ago, increased shooting efficiency from Brown will help him benefit as an off-ball contributor when LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey or Joel Embiid is in possession.

There were concerns about the Green Bay Packers offensive line entering the 2026 season, and Sunday's defeat in the opener against the Minnesota Vikings did nothing to dispel those worries.
Jordan Love did his best to overcome the pass protection problems, and mostly succeeded until late in the game, when the floodgates finally opened and he was forced into multiple turnovers which sealed the Packers' fate.
Analyzing the performance is not straightforward, and there is plenty to unpack.
The first thing to note is that until the late-game collapse, the O-line was far from perfect, but was surviving a normal level of struggle one might expect against a maniacal Brian Flores defense on the road in a raucous stadium.
Add in the fact it was Week 1, when most teams are still kicking off the rust, and the Packers starting multiple new and inexperienced players, and it was a perfect storm for a tough afternoon, and yet they were still managing to put up points.

Cleveland Browns fans are used to their team stumbling out of the gate and not playing well in season openers.
However, Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars sparked anger and disappointment for several reasons, chief among them Deshaun Watson's role as starting quarterback.
For those wondering if Todd Monken would turn to Shedeur Sanders for Week 2 at Tampa Bay, the first-year coach said Monday: "I anticipate Deshaun will be our starter."
"It's only been two weeks, he's gotten all the reps, and there were some really good things on film, some things that you can build on," Monken said.
"I liked his week of practice last week, and I think he's only going to continue to get better."

The Bills came from behind not just once but many times in this one. This Buffalo vs. Houston outing had eight different lead changes, a very high number. That's a sign of team that will battle for their head coach in Joe Brady, who earned it first-career win on Sunday.

The Abilene Christian Wildcats have dropped out of the FCS Top 25 rankings following their latest loss in Week 2 of the 2026 college football season.
The Wildcats — who fell in a 26-7 loss in their home opener to the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks on Saturday night — slid out of the rankings entirely from their previously held No. 23 spot in the latest edition of the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 poll.
It marks the end of a 30-week streak of consecutive appearances in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 poll for Abilene Christian, which will head into its Week 3 contest unranked for the first time since September 2024.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons' opening loss at Pittsburgh only added more uncertainty to the quarterback question that has persisted since the start of training camp.
Cooper Rush's performance in the Falcons' 20-13 loss to the Steelers on Sunday had some fans wondering why undrafted rookie Jack Strand wasn't given an opportunity and more fans asking when Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa will be ready to play. Rush threw two interceptions, including T.J. Watt's pick-6 in the fourth quarter. He completed 12 of 22 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown.
Rush was named the starter on Friday after Tagovailoa was ruled out with an oblique injury. Rush started despite having back spasms on Saturday. Coach Kevin Stefanski said Rush was close to full health, but the conservative game plan with an emphasis on short passes placed too much of a burden on running back Bijan Robinson.
Stefanski said Monday he had no update on Tagovailoa or on Penix, who did not play in the preseason as he continues his recovery from a torn ligament in his left knee that ended his 2025 season. Penix was cleared for full team drills late in training camp.
Both Tagovailoa and Penix were inactive against the Steelers, and it is not known if either will return for next Sunday's home opener against Carolina.

Despite a strong start, the Abilene Christian Wildcats football team suffered its third straight loss to start the 2026 college football season.
In a ranked-versus-ranked matchup in its home opener, No. 23 ACU took an early lead but struggled down the stretch in a 26-7 loss to No. 13 Stephen F. Austin on Saturday night at Wildcat Stadium in Abilene.
The loss marks Abilene Christian's second consecutive loss to SFA after the Lumberjacks beat ACU 41-34 in a second-round FCS Playoffs game in December 2025 in Nacogdoches.
The Wildcats jumped in front of the Jacks on a six-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback John David Black to senior tight end Bryan Henry, giving ACU an early 7-0 edge with 14 seconds left in the first quarter.
Abilene Christian's lead didn't last long, though.

Travis Kelce is set to play his first game as a married man when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Denver Broncos in a Week 1 "Monday Night Football" matchup.
The question on everyone's mind will be about whether his wife, pop star Taylor Swift, will be in attendance for the game.
Kelce and Swift were married during the NFL offseason. Their wedding was one of the events of the summer, with numerous sports figures and celebrities being in attendance for the event held July 3 at Madison Square Garden.
While the wedding soaked up much of the attention surrounding the couple over the summer, Kelce's focus will now shift toward trying to win a fourth – and perhaps final – Super Bowl with the Chiefs.
Will Swift be in attendance for her husband's game against the Broncos? Here's what to know as the Chiefs play their home opener at Arrowhead Stadium on Monday, Sept. 14.

Now that football season has returned, so has the season of tracking the sizes of the TV audiences for football games.
The first of 283 games that count in the 2026 season — a Super Bowl LX rematch between the Patriots and Seahawks — averaged 25.1 million viewers.
The good news is that the season-opening game has exceeded 25 million viewers for four straight years, matching the same run from 2013 through 2016. The bad news is that, via Manny Soloway of Awful Announcing, the number fell 12 percent from last year's 28.3 million who watched the Eagles host the Cowboys, and it was the lowest since 2022.
It's fair to wonder whether the dip had anything to do with the season starting on a Wednesday. The last Wednesday night Week 1 kickoff game happened in 2012, with the Cowboys-Giants game generating 23.9 million viewers. In contrast, the Thursday night opener the prior year, between the Saints and Packers, drew 27.2 million.
That's odd, to say the least. The Cowboys were (and still are) the Cowboys. And the Giants — in the nation's top media market — had just won the Super Bowl. It's lower number than would have been expected, and it could have had something to do with Wednesday vs. Thursday.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock is preparing to lead the team in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals with Sam Darnold set to sit out for the game.
Lock gave the Seahawks a timely lift in the opener, stepping in after Darnold left the game due to injury and delivering a quality performance that led to a win. He completed 16 of 22 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown, and took care of the football in the affair.
Lock is equipped to provide Seattle with quick decisions, controlled passing and a balanced rushing attack against Arizona. Lock's mobility will be useful if the Cardinals create a great amount of pressure and force him to scramble outside the pocket.
The larger test will be maintaining that composure for a full game on the road. Seattle will need Lock to protect the football, keep the offense on schedule and capitalize on scoring chances. If he does, the Seahawks will have a realistic path to another important early-season victory.

The Denver Broncos are releasing a veteran wide receiver just ahead of their season opener.
The Broncos cut receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey on Monday, according to the NFL's transaction wire. Multiple reporters have dubbed it a "procedural move" as Denver is expected to re-sign LJH as early as Tuesday.
With Humphrey not on the team's Week 1 roster, his salary won't be guaranteed this season. That could have been part of the decision. The team might also consider bringing LJH back on the practice squad, opening up a spot on the active roster.
Following the Humphrey cut, Denver's remaining receivers on the active roster are Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Troy Franklin.

Alex Golesh crossed off another milestone last week when Auburn defeated Southern Miss, 43-8, for the first home win of his tenure. This week, he could reach another when the Tigers host Florida for the Tigers' first SEC game of his era.
Golesh stood at the podium Monday to preview the matchup with the Gators and to close the book on Auburn's Week 2 win. One topic Golesh discussed Monday was his relationship with Florida head coach Jon Sumrall. Like Golesh, Sumrall took the leap to the SEC from the American Athletic Conference after leading Tulane to an AAC championship and the College Football Playoff.
The pair have a lot in common and have bonded over their time as coaches. However, Golesh says that his friendship with Sumrall is taking a brief pause this week.
"He said we were friends? Not this week, we're not," Golesh said Monday (via ABC 33/40). "I got a ton of respect for Jon (Sumrall). We were both ****** istants in this league at the same time, and he did a great job at Troy, a high-end job at Troy. Did a high-end job at Tulane. I got a ton of respect for how he works; I got a ton of respect for who he is. I think he does it the right way. He competes like crazy. I got a lot of respect for him. This week? Don't care."
What else did Golesh say ahead of Auburn's SEC opener against Florida? Here are five key quotes from Golesh's Monday press conference.
