Sports Sunday

Long football day with another London game that was played in the morning. 

New York fans had games in the three football windows afterward. The Giants were overmatched (the backup QB came in for much of the fourth quarter), not scoring a TD. A star player that went to the Eagles shined in a 28-3 domination.

It was a close game in the first half of the Titans/Bills game. Then, the Bills scored 27 unanswered in the second half. Talk about one-sided adjustments.

Jets had the Sunday Night game with Russell Wilson coming back from injury for the Steelers. Somber moment mid-third quarter with a serious Jets injury that delayed things. Wilson eventually got going. The Jets kicker again missed an easy field goal (blocked). 

The Jets stopped scoring -- I think it was karma for a dubious earlier call that gave them two points. Well, fans could switch to watching the Mets. Maybe not. 

Aaron Rodgers had a couple good drives and also parts of drives (ending on turnovers or stops). They scored 15 points; none in the second half. They gave up 37. 

Not good, Bob. 

Maybe, Jets/Mets fans should have checked on the Mets. There was no magical ending. But, a four-game losing streak is pretty sad, and this one wasn't close.


Mr. M. didn't have it and had to be pulled out early. The bullpen gave up a few. The closer was in the game in the fourth inning. No shame to falter against the #1 seed in Game 6 of the NCLS. 

(The Guardians fell to the Yanks in 5.)

It still was a respectable 7-4 (with many people left on base) in the seventh inning. Dodgers had a bullpen game but they have a tough bullpen. The Mets went with Senga over Buttó. That worked for an inning.

Mets turned into a pumpkin. Oh well. 

Bonus: New York Liberty wins first WNBA championship. Don't watch, but congrats.
