Gennaro Gattuso is thrilled with the Lazio players who produced a fabulous performance against Juventus on Sunday.
The Biancocelesti extended their superb start to the Serie A campaign by registering their sixth win in seven rounds. Oliver Provstgaard, Gustav Isaksen, and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru all got on the scoresheet as Lazio returned from Turin with a 3-0 victory. This was certainly the team's best result of the season, especially considering the size of the opponent.
In his post-match interviews (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Gattuso expressed his delight with the team, taking great pleasure in their ability to overcome the odds after being tipped to fight for relegation by some observers at the start of the season.
We're not looking at the league table. We have to keep working hard and maintain the right mentality. I've seen a lot in this game, and we have a clear path to follow: work. People were writing us off as dead and saying we would be fighting relegation. But our path was the right one, and the players believed in it. We'll see where we end up.We like to press our opponents, get tight to our markers and play offensively. That brings benefits. We can't sit back and manage games; we have to keep pressing forward aggressively. On a personal level, it's a pleasure to work with these players, too.
The Calabrian admits that he almost gave up on coaching at one point during his career, but he has now found internal serenity.

Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft caught five passes for 37 yards against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. Kraft was targeted eight times in the win.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: Unquestionably the most important thing that happened for Kraft on Sunday night was that he avoided another knee injury as he headed to the blue medical tent after taking a low hit. He was able to return, however, which is big news for the Packers and Kraft owners. While the talented tight end still hasn't gotten fully back to form, he's one of the three pillars of the passing game with Christian Watson and Matthew Golden, and as those two continue to command attention, it should open things up for Kraft. He's a low-end TE1 right now, but he could push toward top-five status if he can recapture his pre-injury form.

Colts' Shane Steichen squashes Daniel Jones speculations after loss to **** ans appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Coach Shane Steichen's Colts are 2-4 on the season after losing 26-20 to Tennessee in a game that saw Robert Saleh get his first win as **** ans head coach, while making life **** on Daniel Jones. Jones, the Colts' starting QB, got a Tyler Warren injury update before the game that ended up as worst-case scenario as the key tight end didn't play.
The day got progressively worse from there as the Colts' starter was sacked six times against Saleh's team. The Colts piled up 399 yards of total offense but it wasn't enough to get a win. Steichen addressed the QB situation amid speculation that Anthony Richardson might get a shot in Week 7, as shared by NFL on ESPN.
"I think he knows he's gotta play better, I've gotta coach better, there's a lot of things, it's not on one guy, but we've gotta do a lot of things better…Yes, he's our starting quarterback," Steichen replied when pressed further on the matter.

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson had two catches for 13 yards in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why It Matters: Ferguson, a University of Wisconsin alum, took a back seat to Brevyn Spann-Ford (4-35-0) and Ryan Flournoy (7-40-1) on Sunday night, and it ended with him finishing below 20 yards receiving for a third straight week. A legit top-10 fantasy tight end at times in his career, Ferguson is currently no more than a touchdown-or-bust lottery ticket on the outskirts of TE2 value.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson faced backlash from the NFL world after getting ejected from the Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He appeared to spit on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers, right after the Bills received a defensive holding penalty in the second quarter.
But Gardner-Johnson came to his senses pretty quickly. Talking to the media inside the locker room, he acknowledged that what he did was wrong. He let his emotions take control in the heat of the moment. That's certainly something that no veteran should do. Hence, he took to his Instagram Story and shared an apology.
"I want to take a moment to address my actions and sincerely apologize to my opponent, my teammates, my organization, and everyone who supports me," Gardner-Johnson wrote. "My passion and competitive nature have always been a huge part of who I am, but I also understand that there is a line that should never be crossed. The gesture I made toward my opponent was inappropriate, unnecessary, and not a reflection of the respect I have for him or this game."
Gardner-Johnson further noted that there's "no excuse" for spitting on his opponent, regardless of the intensity of the competition. He is playing his eighth season this year, making him a responsible figure in the Bills locker room.

The Dallas Cowboys managed to go out and look awful again as a team, losing to the Green Bay Packers. The worst part has been the offensive decline over the last two weeks as Dak Prescott and Company have been unable to find any kind of offensive rhythm. Brian Schottenheimer is under a lot of scrutiny as his offense has flamed out.
But somehow, the Cowboys are favored next week. And not favored by a little, but by a lot for NFL standards.
The Cowboys play on the road against their NFC East rival, the Philadelphia Eagles, and are favored by 5.5 points according to our partners at FanDuel. Let that sink in.
It probably says more about the state of the Eagles playing without QB Jalen Hurts, the retirement of Lane Johnson and other issues they are having. Still, it's hard to believe the Cowboys would be favored over anybody on the road tight now.
Would you take the Cowboys or the Eagles based on those odds?

India arrive in New Zealand as world champions, having beaten the same opponents by 96 runs in the T20 World Cup final in Ahmedabad in March.
The five-match series now shifts to the Black Caps' backyard, where the T20I history between the sides is far tighter than that result suggests.
Shreyas Iyer leads a 16-man India squad that welcomes back Bhuvneshwar **** ar, who last played a T20I in November 2022. Meanwhile, Mitchell Santner captains the home side.
India last played T20Is here in November 2022, when Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 111 at Mount Maunganui set up a 65-run win. They took that series 1-0 after Wellington was abandoned and a rain-hit Napier game ended in a tie, so the record is worth a closer look.
Before the bilateral series kicks off in Christchurch on Thursday, The Sporting News takes a look at the record books.

Andoni Iraola has admitted Liverpool will be without Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong "for some time" after both were forced off with hamstring injuries in Saturday's 2-1 win at Brentford.
Vice-captain Szoboszlai, who had missed Liverpool's previous two matches with the same problem, was replaced after 32 minutes at the Gtech Community Stadium. Frimpong came on at half-time but lasted just six minutes before limping off.
Both players will undergo scans to determine the extent of the damage.
Iraola explained that a tight turnaround from Wednesday'sChampions League trip to LASK in Austria had left him with difficult selection calls.
"We had a very delicate situation coming back from playing Champions League away (against LASK in Austria) on Wednesday, arriving back late at night and probably not a proper chance of recovery. So you are in doubt between (selecting) the players who have already started two games and are very tired or the players who are recovering from injuries on whom you are not 100 per cent sure."

Andy Reid has reassured Kansas City Chiefs fans after Travis Kelce suffered an ankle injury scare during their 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.
The veteran tight end limped off the field after a tackle by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley and received treatment on the sidelines. However, Kelce returned to action and finished the game.
The Chiefs maintained their unbeaten start to the season, with Kelce recording four receptions for 53 yards despite the early concern.
Speaking to reporters after the victory, Reid offered a positive update on his starting tight end's condition.
"Travis Kelce tweaked his ankle and played through it. Says he'll be sore tomorrow, but he'll be OK," Reid said, according to AotZ Sports' Charles Goldman.

Buffalo Bills safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected from the Bills' Week 6 win over the Las Vegas Raiders for spitting on Raiders tight end Brock Bowers.
San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk chimed in and said this isn't new for the 28-year-old and accused Gardner-Johnson of spitting on him during the 49ers' win over the Chicago Bears last season.
"This is the least surprising thing ever," Juszczyk posted on Twitter above a clip of the ejection. "(Gardner-Johnson) spit on me last year when we beat Chicago."
Gardner-Johnson pleaded his case to officials that he wasn't spitting on Bowers, but it was clear he did something in the direct vicinity of the TE that caused an official to immediately throw a flag and eject the eight-year veteran.
It's also not a surprise Juszczyk and Gardner-Johnson had a dustup last year. Gardner-Johnson and the 49ers have a bit of history starting in 2019 when Gardner-Johnson was a rookie in New Orleans for an epic 48-46 win for San Francisco. In that game Gardner-Johnson was hit with a 15-yard penalty for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Juszczyk.

One Josh Allen masterclass moment has captured the attention of NFL fans after the Buffalo Bills' big win and most are simply awestruck by his genius.
In what proved to be a tight contest against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Buffalo Bills claimed their fifth win of the season. The difference-maker was none other than the team's star quarterback. Josh Allen did just enough to secure the victory for his team.
Allen threw the ball for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and looked like his usual impressive self during the game. The 33-30 scoreline suggests how tight the game was. And while a game like this is generally known for having a lot of big moments, one Allen play has really captured the fans' imaginations.
With the score at 16-13 in the third quarter, Allen had the ball for the Bills at the Raiders' 13-yard line. It was third down with eight yards to gain, and it would have been bad for Buffalo if they had to settle for the field goal.
The Raiders' defensive line knew they had to get the stop if they could. They sold out to try to sack Allen, but he somehow escaped the pocket. As more Las Vegas players rushed to meet him and put him on the ground, the 30-year-old casually flipped the ball to Keon Coleman in the endzone.

Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark was spotted sitting with pop icon Taylor Swift at the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, and the WNBA's official X account made sure to shout it out.
The response from fans wasn't exactly warm, with many accusing the league of clout chasing after, in their view, barely acknowledging Clark during the season.
Clark watched the game at Arrowhead with Swift, who was there to cheer on her husband, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Swift made it back to Kansas City after performing at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and photos and videos of her and Clark (including a hug between the two) flooded social media.
Clark has an open calendar these days, as the Fever were eliminated from the WNBA playoffs by the Las Vegas Aces in the first round.
"Hey Caitlin," the league posted at 6:59 p.m. ET. That was all it took to fire up plenty of fans.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid delivers an update on Travis Kelce's injury after defeating the Chargers. Getty
After their bye week, the Kansas City Chiefs came back and crushed the Los Angeles Chargers 22-6. Their perfect record holds as they're now 6-0 on the season.
However, the game started with a big scare when Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce limped off the field with an ankle injury. After a questionable tackle by Chargers linebacker Daiyan Henley, Kelce sat on the medical table and got his ankle wrapped.
Chiefs Kingdom collectively held their breath after Kelce's early exit, including his wife, Taylor Swift, who made it to Arrowhead Stadium after her big performance at the Academy Museum Gala. However, Kelce was able to return and finish the game, catching 4-of-5 targets for 53 yards.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce registered four receptions for 53 yards on five targets in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
SOURCE: USA TODAY
Why it Matters: Kelce had a rather mediocre stat line, but his four receptions were the second-best mark on the team. It was a mostly run-heavy offensive attack, which doesn't bode well for the pass catchers, obviously. Still, Kelce remains a solid low-end TE1 in all fantasy leagues heading into Week 7.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kenneth Walker has made it a weekly tradition to surpass the already-high expectations of Chiefs Kingdom. If he didn't blow our minds enough by gashing the Denver Broncos for 173 yards on the ground in the season opener, he doubled down against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 4 with 177 yards and a 76-yard run that turned the game in the second half.
Coming out of the bye week, there was reasonable speculation that rookie running back Emmett Johnson would spell Walker to keep the talented lead back fresh. Instead, Walker took the load again, gaining 139 yards from scrimmage on 21 touches.
None of his carries matched the long touchdown run that gave the Chiefs an early 9-0 lead over the Los Angeles Chargers.
On third-and-1, quarterback Patrick Mahomes came out of an under-center formation to hand off to Walker off counter action; right guard Trey Smith and second-year tight end Jake Briningstool made the key blocks to spring him in the first quarter.
"The 33-yarder was pretty open," Walker said in his post-game press conference. "(Tight end) Jake (Briningstool) came across and kicked out; there left was open."

Week 6 in the NFL has come and gone, and what a week it was! We saw some wild games across the league, with plenty of scoring, overtime, upsets- you name it! But what were the biggest fantasy football storylines to come from all that?
Caleb Williams is back! And back in a big way for the Bears, going 305/1/0 on 30 of 36 passes, in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. It also appears that Williams has reinvigorated the fantasy potential of Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, who were both off to mixed starts this season. It's also somewhat good to see that their defense is still terrible, which will only further boost Williams' production. They'll be forced into higher-scoring games, which is great for fantasy production.
So many of us want to believe that Kyle Pitts will be an elite tight end, but the lack of consistent production makes it tough to put him in our lineups every week. He's looked good over the last two weeks, but that's been bolstered by some touchdowns. Drake London still leads the team in target share, but if Michael Penix is willing to look to Pitts in the red zone, the touchdown upside will be there for him. I continue to think that Pitts is a low-end TE1 on most weeks, given the overall offensive potential of the Falcons.
While it was only his second game this season, Omar Cooper Jr. looked great for the Jets. A big 103 yards on 6 receptions and one touchdown pushed him to the top of the box score against the Patriots. It's also nice to see him do this while Garrett Wilson was also playing for the Jets. However, the question becomes: is this sustainable? Once Breece Hall gets back to the Jets offense, their overall dynamic might change, but Cooper Jr. has a role right now.
Is Noel the key to the Texans offense? The run game certainly isn't great; we know how good Nico Collins is, but they are missing another element, and Noel is shaping up to be that answer. Coming into this week, he led the Texans with 17.5 yards per reception and 13.35 yards per target. He brought this into the matchup versus the Jaguars and ended with 4/107/1, which is certainly his ceiling outcome, but this is the third straight week he's had either 80-plus receiving yards or a touchdown.

Caleb Williams is back! And back in a big way for the Bears, going 305/1/0 on 30 of 36 passes, in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. It also appears that Williams has reinvigorated the fantasy potential of Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, who were both off to mixed starts this season. It's also somewhat good to see that their defense is still terrible, which will only further boost Williams' production. They'll be forced into higher-scoring games, which is great for fantasy production.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — When J.J. McCarthy was thrust onto the field Sunday, he had never thrown a live pass to New York Giants teammate Malik Nabers.
He had never thrown more than a sideline or warmup ball to tight end Isaiah Likely.
Three weeks ago, McCarthy had never even heard a Giants play-call.
So when he took his first snap under center with 11:25 to play in the fourth quarter, the Giants trailing by 24 thanks in large part to three turnovers, McCarthy seemed more likely to continue the hole-digging than reverse trend.
An interception on his fourth pass furthered that theory.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is enjoying the bye week with his wife, Taylor Swift.
After the Chiefs defeated the Las Vegas Raiders 30-27 in Week 4, he flew to Manhattan to meet up with Swift. The couple celebrated his birthday with dinner at Torrisi, which Kelce called "one of his favorite spots" on this week's "New Heights" podcast episode.
"It was a fun day. Got some food out here in New York," the 37-year-old said. "Got to hang with Tay," while noting they skipped birthday cake but ordered multiple desserts.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce seem to already be having issues with their new neighbors.
Earlier this year, it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that Kelce, 37, purchased a $5.35 million lakefront estate in Ohio, and now home renovations are underway.
The Daily Mail reported on Thursday, October 8, that a planning board meeting was held last month in the village of Bratenahl, just outside Cleveland, and a six-foot fence was unanimously approved despite some objections from those living close by, according to records.
A neighbor by the name of Katherine Bolton reportedly told the Architectural Review Board that Kelce's new purchase was a "tremendous blow" to "the peace and quiet in Bratenahl."
"There's a new owner, who is an absentee owner, who is not going to be here," she said, according to a record of the hearing obtained by the Mail. (The Kansas City Chiefs tight end and pop star, 36, weren't named.)

Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have become the modern day power couple following their marriage earlier in the year.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was already one of the biggest names in the NFL before the start of his relationship with Swift. However, his fame rose to another level once word got out about his and Swift's connection.
Despite playing into his late thirties, Kelce is still showing out for the Chiefs and has made a strong start to the 2026 season. The 37-year-old has already racked up 246 yards and two touchdowns through the opening four games.
Despite being a household name for sports fans across the nation, Swift's mother Andrea had to ask a close family friend when researching who her daughter's potential future partner actually was.
Kelce and Swift have now been together for three years and carrying a huge global following between them. However, like any good mother, Andrea did some digging on Kelce and his reputation before giving Swift the green light to consider dating him.

Mena Massoud
Playing the leading role in a major Hollywood blockbuster that earned a billion dollars is the dream of many in the entertainment world. To do so alongside one of the biggest movie stars of all time, Will Smith, was certainly a dream come true for Mena Massoud. I sat down with him to unpack a hidden secret to career success that is not often discussed: the art of defiant surrender.
For many who lead companies or compete at a high level, it can feel like every moment must be maximized and every outcome manipulated. The performance literature points us somewhere else, to a flow state in which the brain is not preoccupied with holding tightly to every future outcome.
It may seem counterintuitive, but this liberates the brain to be in a place to actually access its best abilities.

From brunettes to bangs and graying locs, the stars are showing off major hair transformations while front row at Paris Fashion Week.
Nicole Kidman, while attending Chanel's ready-to-wear spring/summer 2027 show in Paris on Oct. 5, debuted a new look that lets her typical blonde curtain bangs fall even lower, which in some shots nearly conceal her eyes from view.
Kidman, 59, paired the look with a tweed gray Chanel blazer dress and black tights. She was joined by 15-year-old daughter Faith Kidman Urban, a day after her older daughter, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, 18, walked the runway for Valentino.
Lisa Bonet popped up at the Celine spring/summer 2027 collection show with a more dramatic transformation, marking her first public appearance in four years by showing off her full-on gray locs. Her light gray naturally loose curls peeked through at the top, with her longer, deeper gray locs underneath.
Bonet, 58, spoke to Harper's Bazaar about the collection, designed by Michael Rider, in which she complimented the "freshness" and "relevance" Rider is bringing to fashion.

Nicole Kidman gave fans a stylish look at her 15-year-old daughter, Faith, as the pair stepped out in coordinated outfits at the Chanel show in Paris. The actress attended the spring/summer 2027 show, offering a glimpse of how alike and how different a mother and daughter can look side by side.
Nicole Kidman and daughter Faith stepped out in coordinated looks at the Chanel show. The video shows Kidman and Faith walking through the crowd before posing side by side. Guests in dark formal wear fill the background as the pair make their way along. The actress waves to onlookers and places a hand over her heart. She smiles warmly the whole time, while her daughter grins shyly beside her.
HELLO! Canada shared the clip on X, describing the duo as "looking chic in coordinated outfits." The outlet also added that the pair were making a splash at Paris Fashion Week. In the final moments of the video, Faith keeps one hand relaxed at her hip while her mom stands tall beside her.
Kidman's long blond hair falls beneath wispy bangs, and Faith wears her long brown hair loose past her shoulders. The 59-year-old wears a charcoal tweed blazer dress with a double-breasted front and gold ******* ons. She pairs it with sheer black tights, black heels, and a burgundy clutch, while a small embellished patch on one cuff adds a playful touch. Beside her, Faith wears a gray Chanel cardigan with black trim and gold ******* ons. The interlocking double-C logo sits on the front. She styles the boxy knit with wide-leg blue jeans and black-and-white slingback heels.
Kidman, an official Chanel ambassador, brought Faith's older sister, Sunday Rose, along. The outing was also Kidman's first public work appearance since news of her split broke. The Australian-American actress shares Faith and Sunday Rose with former husband Keith Urban.
