Seven rookie quarterbacks have played at least one snap this season, but none of them had a pro debut quite like Will Levis. The 24-year-old came out with both guns blazing on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, completing 19 of his 29 pass attempts and throwing four touchdown passes. His heady play sparked the Tennessee Titans to a 28-23 win, and has many fans in Music City believing the future is now.

Can Levis capture lightning in a bottle again tonight? We’re about to find out as the Titans take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium in primetime.

While there are a number of different subscription-based TV channels and streaming services available to watch this game… did you know that you can also live stream Titans vs. Steelers directly from le…

The Baltimore Ravens will begin their playoff run on Saturday afternoon, and Lamar Jackson odds will play a major role in determining whether they can get past the Houston Texans and into the AFC Championship Game next weekend.

The Ravens are big favorites in the Divisional Round odds over the Texans (11-7) after finishing the regular season as the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Baltimore has historically wilted in the playoffs, but with Jackson playing to MVP form this year, the NFL odds see the Ravens as one of the top picks to win the Super Bowl. We’ll take a look at what to expect from Jackson on Saturday in my NFL player prop picks for the Baltimore quarterback.

Want to see more analysis and coverage of this matchup before fina…

Last year’s MVP could be handing the torch over to 2024’s MVP as Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens host Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night in what will be the game of the week.

Allen and the Bills have not been tested much since the first half of Week 1 but a stronger opponent here should give this run-first team plenty of time to show bettors that they deserve to be on top of everyone’s power rankings. 

I dig into this AFC matchup and give my best Bills vs. Ravens predictions and NFL picks for September 29.

7 November 1964, First Division: Everton 0 Leeds 1

Don Revie’s Leeds were new to the first division in 1964 and, though it had been noted that promotion had been gained despite a poor disciplinary record, the way they introduced themselves at the self-styled school of science produced shock and revulsion.

Billy Bremner opened proceedings with a blatant foul on Fred Pickering and afterjfour minutes Johnny Giles’s chest-high challenge on Sandy Brown led to the incensed defender dismissed for retaliation. That provoked a crowd reaction, with cushions and missiles raining on to the pitch, and with both sides still kicking lumps out of each other the referee, Ro…

It has been 12 years since Mat Ryan was given his first chance at senior professional football when, as an 18-year-old, he left Blacktown City and signed with the Central Coast Mariners. It was an opportunity which opened the door to Club Brugge, Valencia, Brighton and Real Sociedad. It was also an opportunity he believes might not have occurred under current rules.

“When you are taking your first step into professional football, clubs have to take a chance on you,” Ryan says. “If there was a big fee on my head the Mariners might have looked elsewhere and thought the risk was too high.”

Back in 2010, the Mariners signed Ryan for less than $10,000, in line with the cap on domestic transfer fees which stipulat…

USWNT co-captain Lindsey Horan has criticized US soccer fans in an interview with the Athletic, questioning their knowledge of the game.

“American soccer fans, most of them aren’t smart,” Horan said. “They don’t know the game. They don’t understand. [But] it’s getting better and better.

Horan has been the national team captain since 2023. She splits captaincy duty with Alex Morgan but wears the armband when the two are on the pitch together.

“I’m going to piss off some people, but the game is growing in the US. People are more and more knowledgable, but so much of the time people take what the commentators say, right? My mom does it! My mom says, ‘[Commentator and former…

Perhaps the biggest surprise in the first half of the baseball season didn’t occur between the foul lines.Did anyone really expect the MLB to be able to get rid of umpire Angel Hernandez?The oft-berated Hernandez said in early May he was retiring after 33 seasons in the majors to spend more time with his family. His lawyer, Kevin Murphy, adamantly told The Athletic that his client “was NOT forced out.”Those pitches were further outside than Hernandez’s strike zone. He reached a “financial agreement” with MLB to go away.Other umps decried the move, saying Angel was an angel. But that was perhaps because they could toil in relative anonymity with Hernandez’s highlights—lowlights?—dominating social media.As for between the lines? Here are some of the season’s biggest surp…
