If Jalen Milroe qualified with a minimum of 15 passes thrown against Western Kentucky, he might have the nation's highest passer rating. Calculated on his 7-for-9 performance, his current rating (Passing Efficiency Rating) is 374.4. The official national leader is Washington State's John Mateer at 335.7. Officially, after Week 1 the SEC's best is Ole Miss Rebel Jaxson Dart at 272.6.

Jalen Milroe will not be college football's leading passer and it will not matter

Boston, MA

The Boston Celtics needed to have everybody on the same page last year in order to win a championship. They succeeded, and Banner 18 came home to Boston. And what’s even better is that Brad Stevens is bringing back a nearly identical roster heading into next season. However, two players won’t be back: Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Chicago, IL

The sun is shining a little brighter in Chicago on Thursday. No, it doesn't have to do with the start of the NFL season and the Bear's home-opener on Sunday. Instead, it has to do with Chennedy Carter and the Sky. Chicago has lost seven games in a row, with...

What’s going on here? This isn’t the same Shintaro Fujinami from earlier this season. An April that saw him walk 10 batters in 4.2 innings of work completely wrote him out of the picture for the Mets this season. He wasn’t just walking batters either. An astonishing 13 runs were scored (10 earned) in the small sample size.

Kansas State

Kansas City, MO

The Kansas City Chiefs made perhaps the least surprising pick of the NFL Draft in utterly shocking fashion. Texas speedster Xavier Worthy, who set the 40-yard sprint record at the Combine, was selected by Kansas City with the 28th pick. We all saw it coming. The Chiefs needed WR help and Worthy profiled as the classic KC deep-ball threat, very much in the mold of Tyreek Hill.

At least on Saturday, college football upsets weren't overflowing from the margins. In fact, we had to make it to Sunday and Monday for the standalone games to cash our only two upset picks of the week (thanks to the USC Trojans and Boston College Eagles for getting it done) that cashed. It's a shame that Florida State is no longer ranked so we can't take advantage of that again in Week 2.

There is no such thing as a perfect defensive scheme. The Green Bay Packers are finding out why. Jeff Hafley has brought a new approach as Joe Barry's replacement. The days of soft zone coverages are gone. Hafley plays with more aggression, with far more man coverages than in Barry's system. He wants players to react fast, get to the ball, and play fearless football.

Eagles have already exposed a weakness in new-look Packers defense

Jose and Aurora Rodriguez founded La Serenata in 1985 in Boyle Heights. That was a pivotal era in L.A.’s Mexican food community, and Jose Rodriguez's culinary pursuits led him to become a pioneer in rejecting the “combination plate” standard laden with soggy tacos and burritos.

Maybe it was just a pipedream to believe the Patriots would be fortunate enough to face the Bengals without their star wide receiver, but it was the sliver of hope that connected New England fans ahead of their regular season opener. It was a small chance that united the fanbase amid a drawn-out rebuild, providing a little bit of faith that the Patriots could walk out with a win on Sunday afternoon.

Earlier this week, New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Javon Baker was in hot water because of an off-the-field incident. The rookie wide receiver was punished by head coach Jerod Mayo for an NFSW rant posted on Instagram Live last weekend after Baker was issued a traffic ticket. Mayo told reporters that the incident “in no way” represents the Pats, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs walked away from Arrowhead Stadium with a 1-0 record to start the season on Thursday. Their win over the visiting Baltimore Ravens was a game that was about as dramatic as the NFL could deliver, especially in the closing seconds.
