Seahawks 37, Lions 31 – OT – Smith’s 2nd TD pass to Tyler Lockett lifts the Seahawks to OT win over the Lions
Geno Smith threw a second touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett on the opening drive of overtime, lifting the Seattle Seahawks to a 37-31 win over the Detroit Lions. The Seahawks earned the victory after the Lions rallied from a 10-point deficit late in the fourth quarter, extending the game with Riley Patterson’s 38-yard field goal as regulation expired. Smith threw a go-ahead, 3-yard touchdown pass to Lockett early in the fourth and Tre Brown returned a Jared Goff interception for a score on the ensuring drive to give Seattle a 31-21 lead.
Buccaneers 27, Bears 17 – Bears struggle defensively in a 27-17 loss to Bucs
Baker Mayfield passed for 317 yards and a touchdown, adding to his strong debut with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a 27-17 victory over the struggling Chicago Bears. With Mayfield playing turnover-free ball for the second straight week and Mike Evans catching six balls for 171 yards and a TD, the Bucs improved to 2-0 while handing the Bears a franchise-record 12th consecutive loss. Mayfield completed 26 of 34 passes without an interception. He set up Rachaad White’s 1-yard TD run with a 70-yard completion to Evans in the first quarter. He finished an 89-yard drive with a 32-yard scoring pass to Evans early in the second half.
Colts 31, Texans 20 – Richardson scores twice before leaving with concussion as Colts beat Texans 31-20
Anthony Richardson rushed for two touchdowns before leaving with a concussion and Gardner Minshew threw for 171 yards and a TD as the Indianapolis Colts held off the Houston Texans for a 31-20 win. It was the first win for coach Shane Steichen, who was hired in February after spending the last two seasons as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator. The Colts led by 18 at halftime and managed only a field goal in the second half. But their dominant start was enough to snap an eight-game skid dating to last season.

NCAAFB – MSU plans to dig into source of leak in Tucker probe
Michigan State is looking into the source of a leak that led to Brenda Tracy’s identity being revealed as part of an investigation into her allegations that suspended football coach Mel Tucker sexually harassed her. School spokeswoman Emily Guerrant confirmed Sunday that the school plans to investigate the leak. Tracy’s attorney said last week that her client’s name was disclosed by an outside party and that triggered their cooperation with a USA Today report that exposed explicit details. Tracy is an activist and rape survivor. She said Tucker sexually harassed her during a phone call in April 2022.

Tigers 5, Angels 3 – Angels tumble to 8th straight losing season as Tigers win 5-3 for 3-game sweep
The Los Angeles Angels were assured their eighth consecutive losing season, falling to Detroit 5-3 as the Tigers completed a three-game sweep behind two home runs from Jake Rogers in the first three innings. The Angels (68-82), playing without injured stars Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout, have lost five straight games and dropped to 4-12 in September. Rogers had four RBIs as Detroit swept a three-game series at Anaheim for the first time since Aug. 16-18, 1993. The Tigers won for the sixth time in eight games and improved to 3-0 on a California trip.
Twins 4, White Sox 0 – Gray lowers ERA to 2.84, helps Twins beat White Sox 4-0 to close on AL Central title
Sonny Gray closed on Gerrit Cole for the AL ERA lead, Edouard Julien and Jorge Polanco homered and the AL Central-leading Minnesota Twins beat the Chicago White Sox 4-0. Minnesota, nearing its third division title in five seasons, leads second-place Cleveland by seven games with 12 games remaining. Gray lowered his ERA from 2.96 to 2.84, just behind the Yankees’ Cole, who leads the AL at 2.81. Gray gave up five hits in seven innings, struck out six and walked none, ending a three-start winless streak. Griffin Jax and Emilio Pagán finished a six-hitter for Minnesota’s shutout this season.
Diamondbacks 6, Cubs 2 – Diamondbacks sweep Cubs with 6-2 win, pass Chicago in NL wild-card race
Ketel Marte homered and Arizona got a great performance from its bullpen as the Diamondbacks defeated the skidding Chicago Cubs 6-2 to pass them for the second National League wild-card spot. Arizona completed a three-game sweep and handed the Cubs their fifth straight loss. The Diamondbacks won three of four last weekend at Wrigley Field and finished 6-1 against Chicago this season. The latest victory moved Arizona a half-game ahead of Chicago for the second NL wild card, while the Cubs fell into a tie with Miami for the league’s final playoff berth. Cincinnati is a half-game behind, and San Francisco is two back. Four relievers combined to pitch 5 2/3 scoreless innings for Arizona.

NHL – Babcock resigns as Blue Jackets coach amid investigation involving players’ photos
Mike Babcock has resigned as coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets after just two months on the job following revelations that he asked players to show him photos on their phones. The team announced Babcock’s abrupt departure Sunday in the aftermath of an investigation by the NHL Players’ Association into his conduct. Former NHL player Paul Bissonnette reported on his podcast Tuesday that Babcock was asking players to show him photos and projecting them for others to see in an invasion of privacy. Babcock and captain Boone Jenner said it was just a way of the new coach getting to know players. Still, Babcock said continuing as the Blue Jackets coach was “going to be too much of a distraction.” Pascal Vincent has been named his replacement.
Golf – PGA – Sahith Theegala wins the Fortinet Championship for his first PGA Tour win
Sahith Theegala made more than enough birdies to cover for his mistakes while playing with the lead, shooting a 4-under 68 for a two-shot victory at the Fortinet Championship. It’s Theegala’s first win in 74 starts on the PGA Tour. The 25-year-old Theegala, who began the day with a two-shot lead, pulled away by playing his first five holes in 3 under while being followed by a large, jubilant group of friends and relatives, including his parents. Theegala finished at 21-under 267. S.H. Kim shot 68 to finish second. Justin Thomas was fifth, six shots back, in his final tuneup for the Ryder Cup.
